"Doctor," Jon whispered to the attending doctor. "How is it that I can give birth safely?" Then he passed out, without even getting an answer. And when he was totally out, his arm went limp, causing the wishing stone to fall out of his hand and onto the floor.
The doctor looked down at it, then asked a nurse to pick it up and put it aside. The nurse gave it to another nurse, who then took it out of the operating room and to one of the nurse's stations.
"What's that?" Janice asked.
"The pregnant guy had it in his hand, apparently," Rachel said, putting the stone down on the counter. "And from what I saw, he was really hanging on to it."
"Maybe it's his lucky charm," Denise said. "God knows he'll need all the luck he can get."
Janice picked up the stone and looked at it. She wasn't sure why, but she had the feeling that this was no ordinary stone. Whatever that meant.
