During the day, Sienna went to the Health Commission to wrap up her project.
As soon as she finished work, she headed straight back to the hospital.
Six months pregnant, she hauled herself back and forth between the ward and her office every single day.
The nurses at the station whispered among themselves that the expectant mother looked more exhausted than the patient himself, but no one had ever heard her complain.
When Sienna sat by his bed, Finn would occasionally turn his head to look at her, his gaze briefly resting on her swollen stomach before darting away.
Maeve and Grant came to visit.
Maeve stood at the door of the ward, staring for a long time. Then she turned, walked to the far end of the corridor, and stood with her back to everyone for a while.
Grant couldn't bring himself to step inside either. He stood by the window, gripping the sill, his fingers trembling.
Neither of the older parents could bear to look at the devastating scene.
Felicia brought York over to see Finn.
Finn showed absolutely no reaction.
York tugged on Felicia's hem.
"Mom, why is the handsome uncle lying down?"
Felicia crouched down, her voice incredibly gentle.
"The uncle is just tired. Once he rests up, he'll be right back on his feet."
Silas came by a few times. Sometimes he came with Felicia, and other times he came alone.
When he came alone, he just stood quietly watching, never stepping forward to disturb them.
Silas often saw Sienna sitting by the bed, one hand resting on her pregnant stomach, the other gently draped over the back of Finn's hand.
Watching that scene, a dull, suffocating ache always settled in his chest.
But he never breathed a word of it to anyone.
He simply assigned extra nurses and aides, strictly instructing them to take good care of Sienna.
He made sure Finn's room was flagged for top-tier monitoring.
Lily came to visit the moment she was out of her postpartum confinement.
The second she saw Sienna, her eyes went red.
Sienna looked up, offering a warm smile.
"You just finished your recovery. You shouldn't be running around so soon."
Before Lily came, Isaac had practically begged her not to cry in front of Sienna, knowing how impossibly hard things were for her right now.
Sienna felt it too.
Ever since her brother had moved north to the city for college, it felt like he had grown up overnight. He was calm, reliable, and completely unrecognizable from the loud, impulsive kid he used to be.
That afternoon, Noah rushed over right after his classes ended.
He had noticed yesterday that the angle of the bedside lamp by Finn's bed was too sharp, glaring right into his eyes.
So today, he brought a warm-light desk lamp specifically to replace it.
As Noah crouched by the nightstand connecting the wires, two young nurses swarmed over to him.
"Hey handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"
Noah didn't even look up.
"A freshman is the perfect time to start dating! Especially when you're this cute."
"What kind of girls are you into? We can totally set you up."
Georgina walked into the room right at that moment.
She didn't have classes that afternoon, so she had spent noon at the Solstice Heights apartment making soup, packing it neatly into a thermos to bring over.
