Another powerful contraction began and the pain jarred her back to
the reality of the task at hand. In just a few minutes, the head
appeared and the event moments ago were repeated. Again, the Doktor
held the baby by its feet and gave this one a good whack. Nothing
happened. He tried again. There was still no cry from the baby. He
laid the baby down and put his stethoscope to his tiny chest. A
frown crossed his face. Nurse Kelm had seen that look before and
understood. The Doktor tied and cut the cord just as he had done
with the first baby and handed him to Ilse. She quickly wrapped the
baby in a receiving blanket, picked it up and rushed out of the
room. Freya watched this scene as if seeing it in slow motion.
Where is she taking my baby? she screamed. The Doktor took her hand
and said softly, I'm sorry Frau Muller, but he is dead. A
heart-rending scream shattered the quiet of the room. Freya began
to sob uncontrollably. The Doktor whispered to the second nurse and
she handed him a syringe with a mild sedative. Freya didn't feel
the needle enter her arm. She couldn't feel anything at that moment
except a pain in her heart that made her oblivious to any physical
pain.
