PAINFUL TRUTH

"Everything is all okay, ma'am! Your daughter is perfectly fine." The doctor says after checking on me, and I wink my eyebrows at my so overly worried-for-nothing mother-in-law.

I love it all the same that I am feeling a mother's love and care for the first time in my life. It's such a sweet intoxicating feeling.

"Okay, doc. And she? How are her results?" Mother asks, referring to Ellie who is just opening her eyes.

"She is also fine. There was a bleeding due to the fall but we were able to stop it on time. It was harmless. You did well bringing her to the hospital right away. I would recommend she takes total rest for a couple of days." The kind doctor explains.

"Okay. I will make sure of that doctor. So, everything is okay with her and the baby? Nothing to worry about?" She implores.

This woman is in such a tight spot. She has to care for a woman whose unborn child belongs to one of her unknown sons who are apparently at gross odds with each other. This is not easy at all. I love he
