stared down at my daughter, who lay asleep in my arm.

I blinked several times, trying to make the tears go away.

"I have some news regarding your daughter, Mrs. Collins." "A group of doctors at this hospital ran multitudes of tests on your daughter, and we still haven't figured out what is wrong with her body," the doctor said.

"Is there anyway to find out what's wrong?" I cried.

He shook his head and said, "No, I’m afraid you have to let her go." There’s no way to save her now. "She only has a few days left."

My heart squeezed, and the more I tried to hold in the tears, the more my eyes burned.

Let my child go, I thought.

The doctor quietly stepped away and left the room.

let go of my first child? And only a few days? I thought.

I squeezed the only daughter that I have in my arms and kissed her forehead as tears rolled down my face.

The door of the hospital room quietly opened. I looked up, and it took me a few seconds to see clearly that it was the most famous pediatrician, Edward Spears, who was standing in front of me.

Doctor Spears' quiet steps appalled me.

"Doctor Spears!" I whispered as I grabbed his arm. Please help me!

"She must be the one." Doctor Spears said to himself,

"Please help me!" I will do anything! I'll do anything! I can give you all of my money! I can give you my house! I do anything; just help my daughter! " "I know I'll own you, but please help me!"

"I'll tell you what, I'll take her with me, and I'll see what I can do about this because I think I know the problem here." Dr. Spears stated calmly

My eyes widened.

"Please remember to hand in your family record to the nurses at the front desk under my name."

Tears began to form again. "What can I do for you in return?" I asked.

He thought about it for a second before he leaned in and whispered it. I quickly agreed, because in that moment, all I cared about was saving my daughter.

My one and only daughter

There’s no other way of saving her. He was the best doctor, and her life meant everything to me.

I handed my daughter over, and he carried her gently in his arm. He existed in the room before I could say any more.

"Honey, everything's going to be alright." My husband whispered and squeezed me in his arms. I nodded as the tears started to pour down.

Doctor Spears returned to the room with Laura in his arm after a few hours.

He walks in and closes the door behind him.

"Ok, I have the results, and I know what the problem is, but I can’t tell you." Dr. Spears whispers and looks over his shoulder.

"What I can tell you is that you gave birth to a special baby... She is different from everyone else. She has not yet been stabled.

"What do you mean, "not stable yet"?" My husband asks

"She has power that not everybody in the world has." From this day on, she is different. She will need time to control her power. Right now, she is not stable because her power is controlling her. To make sure that this doesn't happen again in the future, she's going to have to take these medicines... Trust me, it will help." Doctor Spears says

"What do you mean by power?" "This doesn't make any sense!" I say.

"This doesn't need to make any sense to you, but remember the deal."

I looked at him in disbelief. Should I even trust this doctor? Is he really the best pediatrician?

"I've got to go." I have another patient waiting for me. "And like I said, I can’t say much about it." Doctor Spears says He gets up and exists. He left the medicine on the table next to me.

I look down at Laura in my arms.
