Speeding down the highway, Suzanne cannot stop her brain from the picturing the gruesome sight that may await her. Her son, Sean, has been shot; that is all she knows. His girlfriend called earlier that night to tell Suzanne, and the girl had been frantic giving little detail. So much has gone wrong in Suzanne's little family, and she just wants a chance to make things right or, at least, make things better. Sean hasn't spoken to her in months, and she hasn't tried to contact him either. When she arrives at the hospital, Sean is alive. Also, his wife is with child. His wife. Suzanne had not heard about a wedding, and she definitely has not heard about a pregnancy...
