“Is there any other car I can use?” Olivia asked frantically.
“The d–driver’s gone home, Ms. Olivia. You should just wait till m–morning. Mr. Tyler could-”

Hillary’s gaze fell onto Olivia before she pleaded, “You need to do it now! An IVP! She can’t wait any longer!” she cried hysterically.
Olivia stood frozen as another person emerged from the ER.
Hillary staggered toward him. “Tyler, please, just do an IVF already! I don’t care if it needs a marriage certificate. She needs a child right now!”
