Damn If You Doom

Bethany, bleeding profusely from her lower region, dropped to the ground as contractions, two minutes apart, brought her to her knees causing her to extend the palm of her right hand involuntarily releasing the golden heart shaped locket engraved with the letters "B & H" that her late husband, Hector had gifted to her last Christmas. It was the last time Bethany had laid eyes on her husband before he fell ill. Slipping in and out of consciousness, Bethany kept hearing Hector's voice, "Our little girl needs you," he said. Reaching over for the bloody antique locket, it was as if it had given Bethany strength because try as she might, she slowly rose to her feet but as quickly as she stood up, she fell flat on her face.
