When I came to my senses, I blankly stared at the ceiling. I felt like all hope was gone. I felt like I had no strength left.

I wanted to cry again, but no tears dropped. I was too tired to even cry.

It was sunny outside, it must've been day already, but I felt like dark clouds covered the place.

My hand slowly and hurtfully reached to my stomach where my child's heart should have been beating. It rested there for a while.

My eyes widened and I suddenly sat up on my bed when I felt it. A heartbeat. It was frail and low, but I felt it.

I focused on my hearing and I was right. The heartbeat was still there, slow but stead. My child is still here, he's not gone.

I was suddenly rejuvenated, joy and relief overwhelmed me.

A miracle.

There's no other way, but a miracle. I whispered my thanks and then I notice that Ian was beside me.

Again, my eyes widened as I remembered what happened. He knows now... he knows that I'm pregnant and he knows that I put our child in danger. I wonder if he will be angry when he wakes up.

I felt guilty, of course, but there was no other way to heal Maddie. And who would have ever thought that our child could feel the pain too, I thought only I would.

I sighed and laid back down, getting closer to Ian. Unfortunately, that woke him up and like I reacted earlier, he suddenly got up.

His eyes were wide in panic and immediately turned to me.

"Hannah... our baby. I-I'm so--" he just woke up but he seemed like he was already going to break down. I quickly shook my head, taking his hand and placing it on my stomach.

It must have confused him, but he complied. We stayed still, making sure the silence reigned for him to hear clearly.

Ian's eyes lit up and looked at me, unbelief written on his face. I smiled widely and nodded. "He's safe." I said in a whisper as if anything louder will put a stop at the heartbeat once more.

Ian released a deep breath of relief and quickly took me into his arms. I chuckled and hugged him back. However, he quickly pulled away and put his hand on my stomach again. "He's still here, thank goodness." he says.

He sounded like heavy weights were just lifted from off his shoulders and he could breathe again.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance..." I started, the guilt starting to creep in, but Ian shook his head also and planted soft kisses at the side of my head.

"No, I know why you did it. It's for everyone's safety. But please, don't do anything like that again, you scared me to death. You have to be more careful from now on." he said.

It surprised me, that's for sure. I didn't know he would take it this well. I even squinted my eyes at him to see if he was just being passive aggressive, but no. He was being sincere.

I smiled at him and nodded.

"I will, don't worry."

When I was feeling better, I paid a visit to Maddie who was now awake. I met Hazel on my way there and coincidentally, she was also on her way to Maddie.
