Serena and Dan had the picture perfect marriage everyone aspired to have. They loved and adored one another, they were a unit, it was them against the world. Very soon, a little bundle of joy would make their entrance into the world, a little baby Humphrey.

Lily, Jenny, Rufus and Eric were all waiting outside, full of excitement, ready for the new addition.

"Dan, I can't take this anymore, just tell them to pull her out", a puffed out Serena spoke.

"Serena, honey, they can't do that, she's nearly out, one more big push, it's not that hard"

"IT'S NOT THAT HARD, would you like me to shove a watermelon up your…….

"Woah woah woah, that's not what I meant, sorry, I'm just so nervous, our little baby girl Serena, this is beautiful, just the 3 of us, together" Dan said, taking a mental note to give himself a slap for that later on, better yet, letting his wife do it.

Dan had previously noticed the amount of blood she was loosing, but decided not to speak up as he thought the Doctor's knew what they were doing, they would handle it.

After several screams of 'I hate you for doing this to me, it's all your fault' and pushes later, little Molly Humphrey made her big entrance, she was a happy, healthy baby girl, the same however could not be said of her mother.

Serena felt like the life was being drained out of her, she could sense something wasn't right, she should not feel like this.

"Where's my baby girl, I want to see her…" Serena said in a sleepy drawn out voice, before she had chance to finish her sentence the room started spinning, she looked to her right and saw the only man her heart belonged too, he had stolen her heart many, many years ago, he was her light guiding her throughout every dark tunnel that had come their way. She felt like her body was being possessed, overtook, this was out of her control.

Serena had started to turn pale, her lips turning blue, she was slipping in and out of consciousness, a beautiful moment that should have been, turned nasty.

"Serena, baby……what's wrong...what's happening, HELP HER…."

"She's losing too much blood, she's hemorrhaging, page back up" Dr Adams said in a concerned voice.

Dan once again noticed the blood gushing from his wife, "omg, please do something"

"Please take Mr. Humphrey… Dan outside" Dr Adams said to one of his staff

"Charging, 160, come on Mrs Humphrey, you got a baby to help care for now, a husband who loves you, come on sweetie"

Beeep……………………………………….

'200, ready' Dr Adams said in a panicked tone

"Control the bleeding, Dr Adams ordered his staff once again, Serena, listen, can you hear, she's crying for her mammy, your family's waiting on you…..we are not going to lose you, come on Serena, help us out"

……………………………………………….

Outside the room Dan was pacing back and forth, his heart racing like never before, thinking to himself that everything was going to be ok, nothing could break them. No one was going to take her away from them. Both Lily and Rufus had tried and failed to calm him down, not letting their own worries and concerns grace their own features.

The door opened stopping Dan in his tracks, he gave the doctor a hopeful look, not wanting to believe that anything could happen to his precious wife. His whole world stood still at the look he received back.

"Mr Humphrey … we...I'm so sorry"
