Christopher stood by Laura's side in the sterile hospital room, his face etched with worry. The doctor, a stern expression on his face, held the scan in hand as he explained the findings.

"Laura, Christopher, the scan shows some abnormalities that require immediate attention. We need to admit Laura to the hospital for further tests and monitoring. It's crucial to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.”

Laura, her eyes wide with concern, gripped Christopher's hand tightly. "What's wrong? Is the baby okay?"
