The baby's heartbeat was a little fast, so they went to the specialist.
The specialist looked worried, but tried to talk down to them.
Hodgins got pissed, or else got scared. Angela cried.
The specialist explained.
The baby died.
Hodgins got drunk, or else kept drinking. Angela ran.
The seasons changed.
The time passed.
Hodgins got sober, or else he'd lose his job. Angela returned.
The old patterns started up again.
The will to live changed into the will to have real lives.
Hodgins got brave, or else he missed her. Angela agreed.
The baby's heartbeat is perfect, so they painted the nursery.
