Tim walked to her bedside one step at a time. He sat down in the chair Amelia had just left and Lily’s pale profile. A thousand thoughts crowded his throat, but in the end, all he managed was question.

“Do you want some water?”

Lily shook her head.

Tim’s hand tightened on his knee until the veins stood out across the back of it. He knew he coul this any longer.

It had never crossed her mind that while she was burning through her body like that, a tiny life had qu begun taking root inside her. Then the fear hit.

Lily grabbed Tim’s arm. “During that time… my schedule was a disaster. Tim, did the doctor really say okay now? That he’s healthy?”

She couldn’t even make herself say the word “baby.”

She stumbled over her explanation. “It’s just that I don’t feel ready, And I… I’m afraid he won’t be healthy I’m afraid I won’t be able to give him a good start.”
