Ravyn stopped briefly, recognizing the sound immediately. It was almost identical to what he had heard seven years earlier when Daisy gave birth to Bryan. The same cries of pain, the same desperate screams, and the same agony that seemed to fill the entire hospital.
He knew labor could take several hours, so he tried to settle his nerves while they waited. Kylie was already inside with Daisy, unwilling to leave her side because she was just as excited about meeting her grandchildren.
Ravyn settled into one of the waiting chairs and had a few cups of coffee while Daisy's screams continued to echo through the hospital hallway. Every cry reminded him of the past, and before long, his thoughts drifted to Seraphine.
He remembered how he hadn't heard her scream even once when she gave birth to Espe. She had endured all that pain without making a sound, keeping her suffering to herself even when she had every reason to cry out.
