Wanted by Her Lost Love

Sixteen“Kelly!”Ryan dropped to the floor. His immediate reactionwas to gather her in his arms, but she was rigid andher body convulsed. Light foam gathered at her lipsand her jaw was tight. Frantically he reached for hisphone and clumsily punched 911.“I need an ambulance,” he said tersely. “Myfiancée. She’s pregnant. I think she’s having aseizure.” He knew he didn’t make sense. His heartand mind were screaming even as he tried to staycalm. The 911 operator asked questions and heanswered them mechanically as he leaned overKelly, desperate to help her.After a moment her body went slack and her headlolled to the side. He put his fingers to her neck,praying that he’d find a pulse. He laid his head overher chest, listening and feeling for air exchange.“Don’t leave me, Kelly,” he whispereddesperately. “Please hang on. I love you so damnmuch.”
