Eva sighed as she looked at the CT scan and called the neurologist. "Finn, do you see what I see?" She asked him when he walked in. Dr. Finn Balor was one of the top neurologist in the country.

"Yeah." He said to her as he read the CT. "She's thrown a clot and it caused a stroke."

Eva sighed. "She had excessive bleeding during the delivery. I assumed it was from the placenta previa" She handed him the blood work she had done during the CT. "She has a protein S deficiency."

"And you didn't catch it during the pregnancy?"

"No." Eva sighed. "From all her work up, she wasn't at risk for a stroke and I never saw anything saying she had the deficiency."

Finn nodded as he looked it over. "Have you told her husband yet?"

"No, I thought we could tell him." He nodded and they headed out as Mallie was taken to another room.

Seth looked up as Eva and another doctor walked into the waiting room where he was. "How is Mallie?" He asked them. "No one will tell me what's going on."

"Seth, let's take a seat." Eva said to him. "This is Dr. Balor, the neurologist assigned to Mallie's case."

"Why does she need a neurologist?"

Finn looked at the young husband and new father in front of him and sighed. "Mr. Rollins, your wife has had a stroke."

"She's only 30. She's too young. She just had a baby."

"I know it seems impossible but she did have a stroke." Finn replied. "Your wife has a blood disorder, Protein S deficiency. It causes abnormal blood clotting."

"Mallie had a lot of bleeding during birth." Eva replied. "Because of the placenta previa and the disorder. When she did, it caused her blood to clot. Alot."

"One of the clots traveled to the brain causing the stroke." Finn added.

"But she's okay right?" Seth asked.

Finn sighed. "No, she is paralyzed on her right side and has a left sided gaze." Finn started.

Seth looked at him. "I don't understand. She just had a baby. She didn't have any health issues. This doesn't make sense."

Eva looked at him. "Seth, I know it doesn't make sense. It doesn't to any of us. But with the placenta previa and the protein S deficiency, it was just too much."

"Will she be okay?" Seth asked.

"We don't know yet." Finn answered honestly. "We are doing an MRI and more tests. We are going to move her to a room. You can see her."

Seth nodded and followed the doctors. He sat down by the bed and took her hand. This couldn't be happening. They were suppose to be celebrating their son's birth. He laid his head down and didn't realize he had fallen asleep until he felt a hand on his back. He looked to see Eva standing there.

"I thought you might want to feed Daniel." Seth nodded and followed her to the nursery. He sat down and the nurse gave him Daniel and handed him a bottle. He sat there feeding him and looking at this perfect little baby.

"Seth." He heard and looked up to see his sister there.

"Joy." He said to her. "What are you doing here?"

"Eva called me." She said to him. "She explained what's going on." Seth nodded and couldn't stop himself from breaking down. "It's going to be okay." She said hugging him. "She will be okay."

He nodded and looked at her as he got ahold of his emotions. "Can you call Mallie's sister and explain? And maybe stay with Daniel while I'm with Mallie."

"Of course." She replied. She took his phone and dialed Jamie's number.

"Seth, is the baby here?" Jamie asked when she picked up.

"This is Joy, Seth's sister."

"Hey, Joy." Jamie replied. "Is the baby here?"

"He is. Daniel is fine." Joy replied. "But there was a complication with Mallie."

"What kind of complication?" Jamie asked.

"She's had a stroke from a blood disorder they have found she had."

"She's had a stroke?" Jamie asked not believing it.

"Yes, she has. They are doing tests to see how serious it is."

"I'm booking a flight and I'm coming." Jamie said hanging up. She had to be with her sister. She quickly packed and booked a last minute flight. She didn't care about the cost, she just wanted to be with her sister. She called Drew and explained. He told her he would follow in a few hours or the next day. She sat in the seat and hoped and prayed Mallie was fine.

Seth sat by Mallie's bed waiting for her to awake up. The test showed what Dr. Balor thought. She had a clot that caused the stroke and she was paralyzed on her right side. He held her hand willing her to awake up. He was shocked when she started to have a seizure. He pressed the call button. "What's going on?"

He asked when the doctors rushed in. The nurse and the doctor did an exam.

"Load her up with dilantin. I don't want a repeat." Finn said to the nurse. He did another exam on Mallie and looked at the machine. He sighed. He turned to Seth. "She's slipped into a don't know when she might come out of it." He said to him. "The stroke caused the seizure and the coma. We have to watch her and wait."

"Just wait?" Seth asked him.

"Yes, she might come out of this coma in a few hours or few days or longer. And we don't know how she will come out of it. What the effect will be. We have to wait." Finn replied again. "I know that's not what you want to hear but it's really all we can do right now." He made some notes in the chart and walked out. He wanted to look over her tests again. He wanted to figure out if there was something else he could do.

Seth couldn't believe this. How did it come to this? How could a simple pregnancy turn into this?
