Before anyone could respond again, the double doors finally swung open.
A doctor in pale blue scrubs stepped out, removing his gloves. Stefan was on his feet instantly, followed by Ethan and Rayna.
"Doctor," Stefan said, his voice strained. "How is she? Ruby and the baby? Are they okay?"
The doctor raised a calming hand. "She's stable. Both of them are."
Stefan blinked. "But she was bleeding earlier. Are you sure she and the baby are fine? I don't want false hopes please. Ruby wouldn't like it either."
"Yes, we saw that and I understand your concerns," the doctor nodded. "But the blood and her passing out is as a result of shock. The fall and emotional stress triggered some light bleeding, but it wasn't a miscarriage. The baby's heartbeat is strong, and Ruby's vitals are steady too. It took us this long because we needed to be sure before relaying any information to you."
Rayna let out a long breath of relief. Ethan placed a steadying hand on her back.
