They bid their farewells to their new daughter and the nurse takes her away immediately. The nurse takes her to the hospital and puts her in the special care unit for preemies. Beatrice was right. The nurse lied. The poor thing was not big enough. It might not make it. But the nurse made a promise and would keep it no matter what. She wouldn't let anything happen to the baby.
One day Zurie got a call from the nurse.

Zurie: Hello?
Nurse: Hello Mrs. Ivory. There's a problem..
Zurie: *nervous tone* What is it..?
Nurse: Your little girl...her heart has stopped.
Zurie: What??
Nurse: I need your permission to give her a shot. It will help her heart to start beating and for her to be reacting to things again.
Zurie: Please! Anything you can do.
Nurse: ok. Thank you for the consultation. Goodbye.
Zurie: Please take care of—

Call ended.

The nurse rushed to the scene and immediately got all of her utensils. When she went to the cabinet to grab the medicine..they were out. She called one of the best doctors in the hospital to ask if he had any. The entire hospital was out of stock. She called close by hospitals and they didn't have enough to spare. She was getting anxious. She had to do something... She went back to the cabinet and got a chemical agent known as mutagen (mutagen mutates DNA). She hoped and prayed it would work. She injected it into the little girl and waited for three minutes..it did nothing. She waited another three minutes. Oh God. Nothing is happening! She was about to call Zurie when the baby started crying. She was alive!! She rushed over to the baby and hooked her back up on the breathing tubes and other ones like feeding tubes. The nurse calls Zurie and tells her the good news.

Zurie: Yes?
Nurse: I got her heart to start beating again, she's going to be ok!
Zurie: *relieved* Thank you so much!
Nurse: I have to go take care of her now..bye.
Zurie: Bye!

Call ended.

2 years had passed. Little Kyra was doing really well. She had her mother's hair and her father's eyes. She was a sweet little one too. She never growled at anyone, but occasionally she would scratch some people.

One day as Kyra and Zurie we're playing, Zurie noticed something odd. Kyra was talking..but not out loud. Telepathy. Of course, she could still babble and make strange noises out loud, but she was talking like she was 6 through thoughts.

(Telepathic conversation)

Kyra: mommy?
Zurie: Kyra..?
Kyra: Where's daddy?
Zurie: he's..not here.
Kyra: Where is he mommy?
Zurie: He's.....in the living room..?
Kyra: no mommy. My real daddy.
Zurie: ???
Kyra: bye bye!

Zurie looked up at Kyra and Kyra just sweetly smiled and babbled at her. She bit her teething toy and threw it at Zurie. Zurie nervously chuckles and sets it in Kyra's lap.
