The doorbell rings and I jump.
Edward steps out of the nursery and turns towards the front of the house.
He doesn't notice me slumped down in the hallway.
I hear the front door open and I pull myself up.
I go into the nursery, where 'Madison' is sleeping peacefully in the crib.
I hear low murmurs down the hall.
With tears in my eyes, I exit the room and go towards the sound.
Two uniformed officers are standing outside the open door talking to Edward.
But he's not letting them in.
