A modern fairytale part 9


 Father Brennan went to the recovery room, sat by Kelly's bed and waited for her to wake up, resting his hand on that of his friend. When she awoke, the young woman saw at first only a vague human form, then her vision became clearer and she recognized her friend Father Brennan, smiling at him.


"- Ah, you're awake, little flower of Christ! "


Kelly's first gesture was to put her hand to her belly. Her face showed great fear as she discovered that she was no longer pregnant.


"- Don't worry, you're the mother of a beautiful, healthy boy. You lost a lot of blood and had to be delivered by emergency Caesarean section


- My son! Julian! Where are they? Where are they? I want to see them!


- Little Brennan is with his daddy, he's taken good care of him.


- Take me to them!


- You're still very weak. We must wait for the doctor's orders.


- Please, Brennan! Are we friends or not?


- Yes, you are and always will be my friend. I'll see what I can do. Don't try to get up." Kelly nodded.


The father borrowed a white gown from the linen room, put it on, found a wheelchair and went to get Kelly. He took her in his arms, sat her gently in the chair and headed for the bedrooms.
