Arriving at the hospital, he’d had to prove beyond a doubt to hospital staff that he was indeed Kallie’s husband. By the time he reached his wife’s bedside, Kallie had been in the hospital for seven hours.“Sweetheart? Kallie?”“She can’t hear you, Mr. Fogle. She’s been unconscious since her fall.”“God, she looks so broken!”“She’ll recover.” The doctor spoke in soft, soothing tones and it drove Hank insane.“Recover? Would you recover after a fall like that?”“I would if I had me as my doctor.” Great, the guy was a comedian, too.“How long will she be like this?”“There’s no telling. Maybe hours, days, a month. Maybe longer. Her body needs to heal. She took one of the nastiest falls I’ve seen in my time here. Mr. Fogle, she’s lucky. For her and the baby to have survived is a flat-out miracle.”“Baby?”“You didn’t know? Well, yes, Mr. Fogle, you’re going to be a father in a little more than eight months as long as Kallie recovers as well as we expect her to.
