Duncan, Bridgette and Geoff have been waiting outside for about 6 hours, and all they could think about was Courtney, Duncan especially. To pass the time, they went to go see Craig and Catrina for a while, brought them back downstairs, and then came back down to the hospital cafeteria to buy a coffee to keep them awake. It was 6:00 in the morning, after all. Duncan closed his shop for the day; He knew he wouldn't be able to work without thinking of the fate of Courtney and his baby 24/7, and he didn't want to have a breakdown in front of his customers, either. He also planned to call Craig and Catrina's school, telling them that there's a family emergency and they just couldn't go to school. It would break their perfect attendance, but he was sure that they wouldn't even think about that at a time like this. Suddenly, what they've been waiting for hours came to them: The nurse that would tell them the fate of Courtney and Ariana.

"Oh, I didn't know you invited the whole family. Well, only 3 at a time is allowed inside the Intensive Care Unit." They gasped, and let Duncan go first to see his wife. The nurse led him to a room on the fourth floor, where Courtney looked like she was just eaten by tigers. Her hair was a mess, she had an IV on her, she was throwing up every 5 minutes and there were oxygen tubes up her nose and stickers hooked up to a monitor reporting how her blood pressure and heart rate was going. He walked up to her bed. She put her fragile hand on his face and smiled with as much energy that she had.

"Duncan."

He stroked her hair, terrified of what was going to happen to her. "Princess. I'm so proud of you."

She smiled as she went into a deep sleep, and Duncan panicked. A doctor looking as tired as Duncan walked up to the couple with a clipboard of Courtney's stats and a coffee in the other hand.

"Is she going to be okay? And how is our daughter?"

"Yes, Courtney will be fine. She's just very tired and worn out from her C-Section, that's perfectly normal. Plus she's on a ton of antibiotics that will make her sleep." Duncan breathed a sigh of relief, happy to know that she will be OK, but wondering what has happened to his daughter. "I see that Courtney gave birth to twins at 16. Are you the father of those twins?"

"Yes, I am. They're waiting outside."

"Peachy. Well, teen pregnancy has risked the baby coming faster. We're trying out brand-new technology all the way from Sweden on your daughter. Come with me." Duncan followed the doctor next door as he opened a door to a restricted room, where his daughter, only 3 months old and looking super creepy at the point was in a metal simulated tube.

"When she didn't come out breathing, we knew she was the one. She is the first person in the world to test this out, since this tube just became legal in the United States only, and if it works your daughter will be the most famous baby in the world. What is happening is this tube is supposed to be an exact replica of a mothers uterus. She will be in here for 6 more months and when we think she is ready to come out of the 'uterus' she will be born once again into a healthy newborn baby. Your wife will have to stay in ICU for another week, and she will hopefully be put in another room depending on her health and if her blood pressure goes back to normal. She'll have to come everyday to feed the baby, and since you are the first to test this out, you will get 5,000 dollars a month just for this."

"Wow. Gotta love technology. So it's like she doesn't exist yet?"

"Nope. She just thinks that she is still in her mother's stomach, safe and sound. Here is the information about everything in the ICU; Visiting hours, who can come in, who can't come in, that sort of thing. And there's also information for you and your wife about these next 6 months." The doctor handed Duncan the packet and he put it on the table next to him.

"Oh, by the way.. How effective is this?"

"Well, she is the first baby to try it. The Swedish doctors who made this say it is a 50/50 chance that she'll make it."

"Now, when can she return back to work?"

"A few days after she is released. Here is a prescription for her, she will need to take these pills twice a day everyday for the next 3 weeks." He handed her another paper, and Duncan gathered the packet.

"Thank you so much." Duncan left with his dignity held high, but with so much worry. They brought a baby girl into this world, but was she going to come out alive?
