Waking Up
Brianna twitched her fingers. Her eyelids started to flutter. “Are you my love?” “Can you hear me, darling?” he said. Richard’s pulse was racing. Perhaps she would be well after all. Her hand was squeezed back after what seemed like an eternity, and she gazed up at him. Her eyes were a blur, and he wondered if she could see him at all. Perhaps it was only a reflex, and she was still unconscious, but he squeezed her hand and hoped. He has no idea what is about to happen to him.

Brianna’s Initial Thought
“Bri…Brianna, honey?” Richard said quietly. “I’ve arrived.” Finally, Brianna responded. “Richie,” she quietly answered. Richard was overtaken with emotion and summoned the doctor to check on his wife. Aside from the burns, she appeared to be in good health. The doctor began to check Brianna, but she only had one concern, and it wasn’t for herself. She was terrified, clutching her big tummy. “How is the baby?” she worriedly inquired.
