Chapter 19

Demetri’s POV

I’m surprised but say nothing when he lays his head against my arm, snuggling against me like a pup seeking the comfort of its parents. I slip my hands under the warm blanket he’s covered with as I talk softly near his ear.

“Cole, will you let me hold your hands while Angela does the ultrasound?”

He shifts slightly against my hands as I place them lightly on top of his. Angela returns with the ultrasound machine. She touches his shoulder as she talks.

“Cole, I need you to open your eyes and show me that you are awake enough to understand my instructions.”
