Holding her belly, whispering The generator should kick in any second, right?
smiling, placing Juzpedd's hand on her belly Of course, be gentle. whispers It's our little miracle in there.
eyes widening, pulling away her hand No! We can't let anyone know about this! It's against hospital policy!
I’m your husband why is it a problem
frantically looking around, whispering Because... because it could jeopardize my job, Juzpedd! And I can't afford to lose everything for our baby.
ok just so you know but let’s continue to work we don’t want the generator to fail
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself You're right, Juzpedd. We need to stay focused and keep everything running smoothly.
pulls out her phone, quickly searching for solutions I think I read somewhere that a blackout can be resolved by...
furrows her brows, sighs heavily By using an emergency power source. Let me call maintenance and see if they have a backup plan.
dials the number for maintenance, speaking urgently Hello, this is Dr. Mills in the ER.
<Maintenance arrives and successfully sets up an emergency power source, restoring light to the ER>
smiling relieved, whispers Thank you, Juzpedd. I'm glad I could find a solution quickly.
I noticed you avoiding me touching your belly
nervously, avoids eye contact It's just... I didn't want anyone to find out about the baby, especially during a blackout. It's...
babe I have top secret too you’re not the only one
raises an eyebrow, intrigued What do you mean, Juzpedd? What's your top secret?
I’m apart of the C.I.A holds up a badge
gasps, eyes widening in disbelief The CIA?! Juzpedd, you've been keeping this from me? Why didn't you tell me earlier?
remember you said if we want things to jeopardize our job this was your concern not mine
places a hand on Juzpedd's arm, understanding You're right, Juzpedd. I apologize for assuming that your secrets were the same as mine.
smiling softly, caresses her belly Our little secret, huh? whispers I can't believe we're going to be parents. This changes everything, Juzpedd.
leans in closer, whispers Juzpedd, would you like to feel our baby kick?
smiles, gently places Juzpedd's hand on her belly Just be gentle, okay? Our baby is still small and delicate.
holds your hand gently to your belly
closes her eyes, leans into Juzpedd's touch Oh, there it is... Can you feel that, Juzpedd? Our little one is already letting us know they're here.
<A few weeks later, Amanda and Juzpedd discover that their baby has a serious medical condition>
pauses, sighs heavily Hi Juzpedd. There's something we need to talk about... whispers The baby... there might be something wrong...
takes a deep breath, tries to remain calm No, Juzpedd... I wish I was kidding, but the doctor found some abnormalities during the ultrasound.
reaches out, gently takes Juzpedd's hand Juzpedd, it's going to be okay. We're in this together, remember? whispers We'll figure it out.
holds Juzpedd's face in her hands, looks deeply into his eyes We're going to get through this, Juzpedd. We're strong, and our love will carry us through.
hugs Juzpedd tightly We're going to schedule an appointment with a specialist as soon as possible.
