'Feel? Kassy, you can't make George keep suffering.' Alicia said.
'He is not suffering. Please, you all need to leave. I want to get some rest now.' I kept my eyes closed.
I heard them all murmur and then the door opened and closed.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Alicia sitting on a chair at the side of the window with Kolin on her lap. She was crying and I wondered why.
'What is it?' I asked her.
'Kassy, I'm scared.' She sniffled.
I wanted to get up and walk to her, but my body felt too heavy.
'Scared of what? You heard the doctor, I'm fine.' I smiled.
'Well, I'm not. This pregnancy is not going to be as beautiful as it was with Kolin. The doctors find new words to scare me every day and now, Emily is threatening mum and all of us.' Alicia did not blink.
'What did the doctor say?' I asked.
