Chapter 141: A Small Miracle

It was all very quiet and sombre in that waiting room when another doctor finally came in to give them the latest update.

“Um ... well ... the good news is” he began. “The good news is that Carrie has stabilised again after that last massive seizure - a seizure that was worse again than the one before. We are waiting for her to settle down even further before we try and operate. We want her to be as stable and calm as possible before we do the Caesarian. The operation will go ahead now even if Carrie’s seizures cease and she settles down to a more manageable level. However, all these seizures have put the baby under a lot of stress in Carrie’s body and you all have to be prepared for the fact that we still might not be able to save the child.”

The doctored paused for a minute to let all this sink in then added, “Also, you might like to know that the Clinic has a lovely Chapel on the next level if anyone feels like they might need the peace and solace such a room might offer.”

Bjorn put his hand up and asked, “So, do you know how long it will take to deliver the baby and how long will it take to know whether baby or mother have any real chance of survival?”

The doctor paused thoughtfully before answering with, “Well, we’re not really sure. Hopefully within half an hour or so we’ll know what the prognosis will be for either of them. But don’t hold me to that. We don’t really know but we will keep you posted with any new developments as they unfold.”

Nobody said anything after that as they all watched in silence as the doctor left and the door closed behind him. Not long after that door closed Jessie stood up to stretch her legs and announced to her mother that she was going to go for a walk and maybe check out that chapel on the next floor.

Bjorn was going to offer to go with her but decided to let Jessie be alone some more. Instead he asked Troy to go for a walk with him out into the Clinic’s grounds. Troy readily accepted the offer so the two penis swinging young men headed off out that door in the opposite direction to Jessie.

While Bjorn was having a look around the grounds with Troy Jessie was making her way into the Clinic’s chapel were people could go to meditate and pray or just be still with their own thoughts. The chapel was a large room beautifully furnished with soft padded chairs instead of church type pews and some truly incredible murals along the walls painted by some very talented local artists. Right up the front of the chapel was a glassed area that housed a small waterfall flowing down through some rocks and small shrubs to a recycling pond below. The light bubbling sound of this riverlet was accompanied by the sound of some very soft music playing in the background just above the thresh-hold of audibility.

Another lovely feature of this room was a large stained glass window Cross worked into the panels of the walls high above a platform area that was used for funerals and memorial services. Sunlight filtered down into the room through that Cross giving the place a truly peaceful, calming and spiritual atmosphere.

When Jessie got close to the front of the chapel she looked up at that stained glass Cross then knelt before it and began to pray. Tears were flowing down her cheeks again as she prayed for a miracle for Carrie and a miracle for the baby. She must have been like this for about fifteen minutes when she heard someone coming up behind her. Jessie turned and saw Troy and Bjorn standing there right behind her and each with tears in their own eyes.

Bjorn spoke first and said, “Um ... I guess I should cover my crotch hole up in a place like this Troy. What do you think?”
