Alessia remembers little of that night, little of what was to come.

She is dizzy, not from the loss of blood but from the illuminated hospital corridor, with its squeaky clean floors and white walls. The light is reflecting ten times more brightly, forcing her to squint her eyes as she is being rushed down the corridor.

Uncle Flavio is the one pushing the wheelchair, with Mrs Rossi and Valentino trailing them with their rapid steps.

She has no memory whatsoever on how she ended up in that chair, how they even got to the hospital, to her she had just been lying in bed minutes ago.

More memory gaps as she now found herself standing in front of a man dressed in a whitecoat, a doctor? It could also be a woman, Alessia can't tell, from down there, she can only see the bottom of this person's coat, and hospital shoes for men and women all look the same.

Mrs Rossi is speaking, "Please doctor she is only seven months pregnant."

Alessia becomes frightened by the desperation she hears in Mrs Rossi's voice. She is used to a firm and confident Mrs Rossi, now she sounds almost frightened.

Alessia looks to her right shoulder as pressure is applied. A trembling hand lays resting, it's Valenitno's hand, she can sense his presence.

Suddenly the chair begins to move again, this time Alessia is surrounded by a swarm of rapid steps trailing her.

"Tell the surgery to prepare for an emergency C-section! She has lost a lot of blood. Prepare for a blood transfusion as well."

Alessia's breath becomes heavy, she suddenly becomes more aware.

"No!" She shouts. She panics, trying to stop the chair with her feet.

"Alessia please, we are here to help you." An unfamiliar voice speaks.

Alessia finds herself angry at the voice. "It's not time!" She shouts. "It's too early."

A set of warm hands cups her cheeks, "Alessia listen to me sweetie..." Mrs Rossi's eyes are filled with tears, behind her stands Uncle Flavio, he is holding back Valentino, who is wanting to free himself from his uncle's grip, he wants to be by Alessia's side, comforting her, holding her hand.

"...they are going to have to deliver the baby now, otherwise it might become dangerous for both of your lives, do you understand me?"

Alessia nods, Mrs Rossi's worried gaze convinces her. As she relaxes her body, the chair moves again and as if she is being pulled into eternity, an unknown destiny waiting for her on the other side. Mrs Rossi, Uncle Flavio and Valentino slowly fade away, soon disappearing completely.
