Bell arrived at the house that was temporarily hers while she stayed in the Safe Zone. A small one-bedroom cabin not far from the hospital. It was already almost dawn. She hoped Ren would be willing to sleep in a few more hours as she placed him in the small crib near the bed.
She lingered a moment as she looked down at his innocent face. She thought of Galen holding him in the air, both giggling joyfully. She smiled with a sigh and shook away the sweet memory.
Once she had tucked Ren in, she changed into one of Galen’s old shirts and a pair of sweatpants. She yawned as she stepped out of the bathroom, pulled her hair into a messy bun, and looked at the bed. She was exhausted.
So much had happened. Most of it, she couldn’t even begin to process. Ashleigh and Corrine were mostly stable. However, Axel had been touch and go. He was still in critical condition and could go either way at any moment.
