I ended up staying with Lorna, with her news about the baby.

Dawn's skin was going off-color, which is a condition where the skin doesn't take enough light.

Dawn had been on therapy but nothing has been working for us, it had me worried sick, for both Polaris and the baby.

"Is this a joke? You want to bring Marco here?" Sophie scoffs at Lorna.

"My baby is sick," defenses the mother, "The doctor says she might die without him. Does that sound like a joke to you?"

"Well, there are better options than exposing our operation," Phoebe suggested.

"And what exactly are those options? I'm sorry I missed your graduation from med school."

"Lorna, we all want what's best for the baby, but..." Esme spoke.

"She's barely eating. She's sleeping too much. If the machines don't work..."

"Well, then we'll get more machines. It's not like we're hurting for recourse," Sophie exclaims, turning to the doctor, "You can't deal with this?"

"I've done everything I can think of," The doctor answers, "This is the worst case of jaundice I've seen and normal light therapy isn't working. Given the nature of the father's powers, he could be the solution."

"Well, perhaps we need another doctor," snaps one of the Frosts.

"We don't have time to sit around and argue," Lorna sighs, "Marcos is the answer."

"Lorna's right."

We all turn to see Reeva standing in the doorway.
"The child needs her father. Get him."

As the mission was continuing, with the search for Marcos, both Lorna and I were in her room, just hoping for Dawn to hold on, for just a little while.

A knock came on the door, which I opened.

"Hey."

I gave a small smile to Andy, letting him come in, which he was hesitant to do when hearing the weak 'Hi' from the green-haired woman.

"How's it going?"

I nudge him a little to do better, it was obvious that Lorna was upset and desperate for her baby.
