I was shaking, crying, and barely able to breathe, yet the two people who should have cared the most watched me as if I were an inconvenience. Then, through the pain and noise in my head, I heard something else approaching.
A loud chopping sound filled the air and shook the windows of the house. A helicopter was descending onto my parents’ backyard.
At first, my mother complained about the noise, assuming it was some neighborhood issue that had nothing to do with us. My father finally stood up, annoyed rather than concerned, and looked outside.
Through the large window, I saw the grass flatten under strong wind while a sleek black helicopter landed with precision. My mother turned toward me with confusion and irritation.
“What did you do now?” she demanded.

The moment I heard his voice, everything felt steadier despite the pain. He spoke briefly to the medics, providing detailed information about my pregnancy that only someone deeply attentive would know.

Behind us, my mother finally reacted with confusion. “What is happening right now?”
