My rugged breathing and the beeping of the machine I was hooked on was the only thing I could hear as I stared up at the white ceiling.

My thoughts were all over the place but the major things I couldn’t stop thinking about even in my unconscious state was Damon and our child. With shaky hands, I reached forward to caress my stomach.

“Oh my goddess, Clara” She called out my name softly as she walked over to the bed and hugged me.

“I’m so glad you’re okay” She murmured and I smiled.
