Chapter 4 Elliot
I couldn't believe it. Olivia and I were just staring at each other. Open mouthed. Twins! Not one baby but two. This day couldn't be getting any better. Liv had woken up and been okay. She then gave birth to our first baby beautifully, like she did everything else.
Olivia was just about to give birth to our second baby when she sounded like she was going to give up.
" I…CANT…DO…IT…ANYMORE"
Olivia sounded so tired. She never gave up on anything so I knew this was really affecting her. I knew that it was now up to me to comfort her. To tell her how I really felt. I bent down to her ear so only she could hear what I was about to say.
A few moments later I stood up, Liv looked like she was taking in everything I had said to her. She then looked at me one last time before telling the nurse she was ready. She then pushed one last time. I could see by the redness of her face that she was giving it everything she had left. A few seconds later we heard the little cry we had been waiting for over an hour for. We both smiled still not believing it was all real. I kissed Liv's head and hugged her. Slowly the smile from her face faded and the colour drained from her face. I squeezed her hand tighter expecting her to squeeze back but she didn't. I started to panic. Olivia's eyes had started to roll back like she was going to pass out. I now was beyond worried so I shouted for Nurse Sarah. She came over and saw how Olivia looked.
" She's lost a lot of blood. Were losing her"
I didn't know what to do. I felt so helpless. There was nothing I could do but watch. I looked into Olivia eyes. She was still awake, just.
" Hold on Liv, hold on" that's all I could say to her.
Her eyes then rolled back once again but this time she didn't open them again. They remained shut.
