When they got to hospital, Chas was taken straight into the resuscitation area and the baby up to the maternity unit to be properly assessed. Cain was encouraged to go with the baby as he wouldn't be allowed to stay with his sister whilst they worked on her. They assured him they'd keep him updated with any news.

The baby was given the all clear, weighed in at 5 pounds 2 ounces, but the duty midwife assured Cain that this was an acceptable weight for a 35 week old baby.

"Sure, she did well to build her up to that weight didn't she with all the problems she's been having, bless her" the midwife said as she read the history chart marked 'Sandy Thomas'. Cain just nodded as he had no idea what she was talking about. When she left them alone, he looked at the chart and had to google some words he didn't understand on his phone, like 'pre-eclampsia', 'gestational hypertension' and 'Hyperemesis gravidarum'. He realised that Chas had had a pretty rough ride with this pregnancy.
