CHAPTER 1: MIRACLE & CHILD'SPLAY.
HOSPITAL
The doctor pulled Mr. Hiroto aside, his expression grim.
DOCTOR:"Sir... I'm sorry, but we cannot detect your baby's heartbeat."
Mr. Hiroto stared at him in disbelief.
HAVIOR:"That's impossible. There must be some mistake. My wife feels the baby kicking all the time. Please check again."
On the hospital bed, Fiona Hiroto's eyes widened.
FIONA:"What's wrong with my baby?"
The nurse quickly stepped forward.
NURSE:"Nothing is wrong. Please try to relax."
But the room had already fallen into a tense silence.
The doctor checked again.
And again.
Still nothing.
No heartbeat.
The medical team began discussing the possibility of an emergency C-section, but Fiona immediately shook her head.
FIONA:"No."
DOCTOR:"Mrs. Hiroto"
FIONA:"No. My child will be born through the natural process God ordained."
Tears filled her eyes.
She clasped her hands together and prayed.
"Father Almighty..."
Her voice trembled.
"I refuse to accept that my child is gone. I have carried this baby for twelve long months through difficulty and pain. Please, Lord, save my baby."
She wept openly.
(She quotes Mark 5:22–43.) "You healed the woman with the issue of blood because of her faith. You raised Jairus' daughter from the dead. If You were willing and able then, You are still willing and able now. Please save my child."
The room fell silent.
Then she began singing.
"Don't Give Up on God by Deitrick Haddon."
One by one, the nurses stopped what they were doing.
