Chapter 7 - Thirty-Eight WeeksAt thirty-eight weeks and two days, a violent storm rolled across the city.
Rain hammered the windows.
Thunder shook the walls.
Then Leah grabbed David's arm.
"David."
He woke instantly.
"My water broke."
He threw back the blankets.
Then he saw the blood.
Everything inside him stopped.
The doctor had warned them about complications.
Now those complications were happening.
Leah cried out as another contraction tore through her.
"We have to go."
David grabbed the hospital bag.
There was no time to think.
No time to be afraid.
He carried Leah into the storm.
Neither of them noticed the dark sedan parked down the street.
