"Remington? Are you listening?" Stella received no response, her anxiety growing alongside the sound of something crashing to the ground. Remington asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Did you fall? Has the doctor arrived yet?" "The doctor should be on his way, I guess." "There's a doctor coming... they'll take care of it..."

Stella's voice was stubborn and impassioned through the phone.

"I'm really scared, what if the baby doesn't make it? The baby is underdeveloped and premature..." Stella's frantic voice continued, but Remington closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his voice was dry and strained.
