Time Period: A Flashback

Situation: The Twins' Premature birth

Charlotte's p.o.v

Brandon's attention is torn between the highway and me. I am six months pregnant and in active

labor with our twins. They are eager to embrace the outside world. I am unsure if we can make it

to the hospital. I squeeze Brandon's hand in an attempt to release my stress and anxiety. "Inhale

and exhale" he instructs me. I develop a strong urge to bear down and push. "The twins are

coming right now. Please pull over to the side of the road" I request. Brandon pulls the car

over to the side of the road. He serves as my birthing coach. He calls 911 for back up.

Situation: Dylan's breakdown

Charlotte's p.o.v

Abruptly, an intoxicated Dylan storms into my house. Brandon orders our children to go to

their rooms. They obey him without asking any questions. "I gave you my cousin. I trusted

you to protect her. Why did you allow her to get raped?" Dylan yells shaking Brandon.
