Alarmed by the commotion, Lara and Adelynn hurried over, their faces etched with concern. "She just went to the bathroom a moment ago," Lara recounted frantically. "What on earth happened?"
Silas's face paled as he looked at his unconscious bride. He scooped Esme into his arms and strode towards the bedroom.

Victoria and Scarlet rushed into the bedroom after Silas, while Ewan dialed the doctor's number.
