Keira Leaf slowly opened her eyes, crawled up from the bed, and threw herself into his embrace, weeping uncontrollably, "Joshua Sulliven... I'm so scared... I'm really scared! Just now, I really thought we had lost the baby... had lost it..."
Joshua Sulliven sat on the bed, holding her in his arms, his chin resting on her forehead while he gently patted her back, comforting her over and over again, "Don't be afraid, the baby is fine, the baby is safe..."
Keira Leaf spoke softly, "I don't deserve to be a mother; I failed to protect my child. I nearly killed my child..."
