Brandon's POV:
She's okay! :)
She's okay.
She's okay, she's fucking okay.
A startling cold shiver ran down my spine; the disbelief still palpable under my skin. But the words staring back at me were still there, spelled out for the both of us to read.
And like cold water, the realization sparked our movements. Both of us ran towards the elevator, punching the button to descend incessantly, as if it would move faster.

"In Erika's case, the cells are found outside the inner uterine wall, and they are obstructing the tubes completely."
"I don't understand. What does that have to do with-- She's fine, right?"
"She's stable now. What I'm saying won't affect her recovery. It's just... it can be difficult for her to have chil-"
