Hope can't feel the pain anymore, no searing stabs up the side of her stomach.
Her baby bump.

Oh God. Her Baby.

She pulls her eyes open to see Josie sat next to her.

"Jo. Our baby?" Hope says, her voice scratchy from lack of use.

"Hope. Oh thank God" Josie whispers before hitting a button at the side of the bed.

Hope leans so she can press a kiss against her fiancée's lips.
"Jo, our baby, is she okay?" her voice trembles with emotion.

Josie places a hand on Hope's protruding bump. 

"She's fine, Hope. Completely fine, she was just getting snug and it cause a tiny bit of bleeding. Our baby is okay"

The baby is okay.

Hope can finally breath again.
