Brooke took a breath. Feeling her stomach twist and turn as she answered the questions the doctor had asked about Lorena.
She quickly wiped the tears that were threatening to fall.
"Pull it together Davis. Strong. Tough. Smile." Brooke told herself. As she entered the hospital room and went further inside she took off her shoes and climbed into bed beside her daughter.

Lorena would live a long time and could have a fulfilling life.
And Brooke knew she would do all she can to make sure that happened.
She would learn all she could about this. Provide a loving supportive environment. A support network.

Lorena was all dark hair hazel eyes and dimpled smile.

"And won't get pulled in every direction. We're in this together as parents. Let me help you." Lucas said.
