PART 2: A 65-year-old woman discovered she was pregnant. But when the time came to give birth, the doctor examined her and was left in shock by what he saw.

She turned her head weakly. Dr. Harrison was sitting in a chair by her bedside. He looked exhausted, his surgical scrubs wrinkled, but his eyes were kind.

“The surgery was a success,” he said softly. “We removed the tumor completely. There was a lot of internal bleeding, but your heart is strong, Margaret. You survived. The pathology report confirmed it was entirely benign. You are going to make a full recovery.”

“A recovery,” Margaret repeated, her voice hoarse. “For what? To go back to an empty house? To look at a crib that will never hold a child? I am sixty-five, Doctor. My miracle was a tumor. There are no second chances for me.”
