Time Period: A Flashback

Rachel's p.o.v

Human

I suggested we visit the Zoo and Jake followed through with my request. Cassie and Tobias were

happy to join us. Jake and I were drawn to a pair of giraffes at the zoo. Like us, they were expecting

a baby. Our two worlds merged together.

Giraffe

Jake and I are placed into two different pens. I am heavily pregnant and in active labor. I collapse

with the calf's hooves still coming out. I struggle to stand back up. Carefully and yet aggressively,

my caretakers deliver the rest of the calf.


Time Period: The Present Reality-April's birthday

Rachel's p.o.v

One unforgettable sacrifice and birthday

An almost death sentence

Sacred first last breath of life

Inner strength

Signs of hope and faith
