She looked at the new bassinet that stood in the middle of the room, her eyes red and teary from grief. She stood by the door, clutching the doorpost, clutching her abdomen, wincing in pain. Slowly, she staggered towards the quaint nursery, collapsing halfway through. She managed to lay on her back and looked at what used to be her husband dragging himself towards her with his grey eyes that once were blue.
Slowly, he dragged himself into the nursery, absentmindedly groaning. Her heartbeat was getting faster and her contraction closer, she finally let out a long painful howl and the groaning was drowned by the screeching of a child. Her vision grew dim as, what used to be, her husband stumbled down to her feet and buried his head into their newborn child.
