Linda felt nervous but also relieved after hearing the doctorâs update. She quietly felt thankful that the baby was okay.
Tyler paused for a moment before saying, âWe have to make sure the baby is safe no matter what.
Letâs get her checked into the hospital.â
The doctor responded, âWeâll do everything we can to keep the baby safe and help her relax.â
Tylerâs face remained cold.

Olivia had a nightmare about losing the baby and woke up suddenly, looking at Tyler with wide eyes.
âTyler-â she said, startled.
Before he could ask if she was okay, she hugged him tightly. She was sweating and scared.
Tyler hugged her tight, feeling how frightened she was.
Olivia looked really scared. Her eyes remained wide, still caught in the fear of her nightmare in Tylerâs arms.
