In the Beginning

Annie and Eric Camden were in the birthing room along with a nurse and Dr. Hastings. Annie was giving birth to her first baby.

"You're doing great, Annie," Eric assured his wife when a big contraction came on.

"Something's not right," Annie said with panic.

"There's a problem with the birth," the nurse confirmed.

"Annie, I need you to push," Dr. Hastings instructed.

"I think there's a problem with the baby," Annie panicked.

"I really need you to stay calm and push."

"Excuse me, but if my wife say's there's a problem then I believe her," Eric said. "I've never known her to lie to me."

"Do you have experience as a doctor?" Dr. Hastings asked shortly.

"No, I don't."

"Then let me do my job the way I was trained."

"Dr. Hastings, you need to listen to us," the nurse said.

"What I need to do is get the baby out as soon as possible," Dr. Hastings said. "All right, Annie, now push."

Annie pushed with all her might. Several minutes later, she gave birth to a baby boy.

Annie and Eric kissed on the lips. Then suddenly, a shocking thing happened.

"The baby's not breathing properly," the nurse said. "We need to put him in an incubator."

"You should've listened to my husband and I," Annie angrily told Dr. Hastings. "You just put our son in danger."

"I'll make it up to you," Dr. Hastings said.

"We would prefer it if you stayed away from us and our son," Eric said with gritted teeth.

Dr. Hastings nodded and left the room. The nurse quickly left the room with the baby.

"Will our son be all right?" Annie asked worriedly.

"Let's hope so," Eric said.


Annie and Eric's son, whom they named Matt, spent a month in the incubator. After making sure everything was fine, Annie and Eric got to take Matt home.
