For the umpteenth time, Cassie let out a rough breath. Today was just as tiring as the other days.

Cassie popped a few grains of medicine into her mouth and drank some water to encourage her a little.

Looking up at the ceiling of her room was one of Cassie's favorite times, there were some star decorations that she had put up with her mother.

Mom chuckled at her little daughter's words, "yes, he will" she said looking at the baby boy lying on the small bed.
