“What baby?” The doctor had said.
It was a hasty decision that she had probably lost her child during the incident that happened in the Hall of Statues but Gwen refused to believe that. She could still hear the heartbeat of her baby and feel the presence of her bat in her womb.
Maybe the doctor was suffering from the same illness that sweet Lady Delice was suffering from.
Many bats, while they were in the womb, would have heartbeats; it was like a gift for their mother since their kind weren't blessed with such a present. On their birth, though, they would be one like them, and slowly, the drumming of their hearts would fade away.
Maybe her bat was different, like the unique ones that lose their beats right from the womb.
The doctor's special equipment should be able to pick it up, though, but the doctor was in a hurry, and before she could press him to conduct more checks on her, he had left.
He could keep his condolences, she didn't need it!
