To fill the void in their lives, they took in a stray cat whom they named Midnight. The beautiful black feline quickly became a beloved member of their family, offering comfort and companionship.

Not long after taking Midnight in, Bernita became pregnant again. This time, their daughter Stacey was born healthy and happy. As she grew, Stacey and Midnight became inseparable, playing together like siblings. The family even installed a baby monitor in Stacey’s room to keep an eye on her.

One day, when Stacey was not feeling well, Roy and Bernita took her to the doctor who assured them it was only a simple cold. However, they soon heard strange noises coming from the baby monitor. When they rushed into Stacey’s room, they found Midnight wailing loudly while Stacey gasped for air and turned blue.

They immediately rushed her to the emergency room where they were told that their daughter had suffered full respiratory failure. Thanks to Midnight’s warning, they had caught it just in time, and Stacey made a full recovery.
