Marianne's Fears Realized

Shane stopped in the middle of his song.

"Eliza! Darling, are you all right?" Shane asked, he was clearly worried.

"Relax, Shane! It's just a stitch," Eliza said. "I'll be fine."

Eliza felt another sharp pain which caused Shane to worry even more.

"Fine my foot, Eliza," Shane said. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to drive you back to your parents' manor and summon the doctor! This could very well be serious."

"You're right, Shane," Eliza sighed. "we should be heading back."

When Eliza and Shane went back to Thornberry manor, Eliza was gently placed into one of the guest beds and the doctor was called.

Marianne came into the bedroom where Eliza lay.

"I told you to rest, Eliza," Marianne scolded. "what were you thinking?"

"I was thinking that I would be fine, the baby still isn't due for another eight months!" Eliza answered her mother.

Shane entered the room.

"Don't worry, Marianne," Shane said. "the doctor is on her way."

"Thank you, Shane." Eliza said.

Marianne and Shane walked out the door.

Out in the living room, Nigel and Donnie just looked at Marianne's worried expression.
