fingers and toes and was happy to see ten of each. The cry from the kid increased tenfold.
    “Oh, no,” Cohen said, his eyes on Beverly.
    Hudson turned his gaze to her. He held her upper body above water, but she floated unconscious, blood pooling around them.
    He was certain his heart stopped beating. There was so much blood. The water around him was thick with red; he was sitting within the waters of death.
    “Take your baby,” Cohen said , handing the infant to Hudson. “She’s hemorrhaging.

Chapter 6
    Hudson looked at Cohen, then back at Beverly, fear ripping through him. The boy was so small, he was afraid he would hurt him if he held him. Beverly was unconscious and bleeding. He couldn’t lose her. Fear paralyzed him.
    “ Hudson, take the baby! I’ve got to help Beverly!”
    Hudson took the baby in his arms. The baby wiggled around and was slippery, his wails almost deafening as they reverberated off the concrete walls of the gym.
    “ Shhhh,” he said, bringing the little guy close to his chest. Somehow, he made it out of the pool without dropping him. “Please stop crying. Please,” he whispered.
    The decibel level dropped slightly.
    “ He’s hungry,” Cohen said, lifting Beverly out of the pool. Hudson stood in stunned silence as he watched another male carry his naked, unconscious mate to the hospital bed.
    Cohen gave the blood pressure cuff a few squeezes while Hudson watched the sheets turn red.
    “What do we do?” Hudson asked through a tight throat.
    “ I need to heal her,” Cohen answered, watching the dial. “She’s losing too much blood.”
    Hudson walked over to Beverly’s side, his panic so great he could barely think straight. “You can’t heal her! You’ve never healed a human before! You could kill her! We need to get her to a human hospital!”
    Cohen spun around. “We don’t have time, Hudson. And if I don’t do anything, she’s going to die!”
    Hudson and Cohen stared at each other for a moment.
    “She needs blood, Hudson. And fast.”
    Hudson closed his eyes and held his child closer . He simply wouldn’t quiet.
    “Please stop crying, little guy. Please. We’re trying to save your moha . I can’t live without your mommy.”
    “ Wrap him up in some blankets and put him to her breast,” Cohen said. “That will quiet him down. Then go into the locker room and get us some clothes before we freeze to death.”
    “ Where are we going to get blood? You and I are the only ones here! There aren’t any humans in the house!” Hudson felt his fear reaching epic levels. He was seriously about to lose it.
    “ We’re flying by the seat of our pants here, Hudson. I’m going to hook you up for the transfusion. I’m hoping that because your baby grew inside of her, your blood won’t send her system into shock. Then I’ll try to heal her.”
    Hudson took a white towel and laid it out on the table, then set Baby on it. He took a second towel, laid it over the top of the baby, and rolled the ends together. He had seen pictures of babies who were properly bundled, but the squirming baby with the healthy set of lungs before him looked nothing like it. First test in the father department: fail.
    “ Give him to me, and go get us some dry clothes,” Cohen said.
    Hudson took off for the locker room, when suddenly there was silence, which was almost louder than the constant wailing of the baby. He stopped and turned around. Cohen was leaning over Beverly with the baby, and the baby had latched onto her breast.
    “ Hurry up,” Cohen said in a quiet voice, not looking at Hudson. “We don’t have a lot of time.”

Chapter 7
    Hudson sat next to Beverly ’s bed, a needle in one arm, his sleeping baby in the other.
    The fear that had grasped him before had gone, and now he felt numb as he watched his blood travel into Beverly. He hadn’t really been prepared for the actual birth, and the complications had simply bowled him over. He lifted his arm with the needle in it and
