Jessamyn clenched her teeth as the pain intensified. The physician told her the pain was not real; it was in her mind.

But as the pain surged, she couldn't differentiate if it was real or not. It felt real. She was scared for the moment it would reach that peak where her chest would start to burn.

The child!

Jerrick looked at her as if she had lost her mind.
