"Josh, is she okay?" Andy asked wiping away her tears.
"I don't know yet. They won't tell me anything," Josh said sadly. "Have you thought of any names yet?"
"I don't want to think of names! I want to know if my daughter is going to live!" Andy screeched.
"Andy, don't even start thinking that way. She's your daughter and she has your blood running through her veins, she's going to live!" Josh said, sitting down on the side of her bed.
"Josh, I'm sorry. But these damn doctors better give us some answers!" Andy yelled, crying again.
"Andy, I'm going to find the doctor and ask them what the hell is going on with our daughter."
"Wait, if you find out anything, come back and tell me then go tell everyone what's going on," Andy said.
"Okay," Josh said, running his hands through her hair. "I'll be back." Andy watched Josh walk out of the door and down the hall.
Josh wandered the floor until he found Andy's doctor.
"Dr! How is my daughter?" Josh asked, worried to find out the answer.
"Well she's breathing properly with the tubes. She won't be able to breath on her own for about a week. Her lungs aren't full developed because she's so early."
"So will she make it?"
"Odds are a few hours longer and then she'll her weak body will give up," The doctor said in her most apologetic voice.
"I have to tell Andy," Josh said hoarsely.
"Okay, you might want to tell your family members too."
"I will," Josh said. "And thank you. I'm sure you did the best you could do."
"Really Josh, we did. There's nothing more we can do to try to save your daughter. The rest is in fate's hands now."
"I know," Josh said walking away.
Josh walked down the hall and into the waiting room.
"Josh how is Andy?!" Lydia asked.
"Andy's fine. But the doctor said the baby only has a few more hours to live."
"Oh my God!" Nicole covered her mouth. "I'm so sorry Josh."
"I don't know what to do. I almost lost Andy now I might lose my daughter," Josh said crying.
"Josh, don't think that way. You have to be positive for you and Andy," Amanda said.
"I know, but I'm scared. And I don't know what to do."
"Josh just go and pick out a name for your daughter with Andy," Lori said.
"Okay, if anything happens I'll be back," Josh said.
"Wait Josh, tell Andy to be strong and you be strong too," Alicia insisted.
"Thanks and I'll tell her," Josh said, walking away back down the hall to Andy's room.
Josh looked through the window to Andy's room. She was staring at the ceiling with glassy eyes.
"Andy," Josh said.
"What'd you find out?!" she asked, pulling herself up. "Well come on spit it out!"
"Andy," Josh began. "They said the baby won't make it. She only has a few hours left."
Andy started crying and said. "I want to see her. I want to spend time with my daughter."
"Okay, I'll go tell the doctor that we want to see her," Josh said.
"Okay."
Josh and Andy went with the doctor in a small room to see their daughter.
"She's so small," Andy whispered.
"Okay, I'll leave you alone," The doctor said, closing the door.
"I've been thinking of a name for her," Andy said. "My grandmother had cancer like I did. But she died from it. We were close and I felt lost when she died, so I was thinking we could name our daughter after her. Is that okay?"
"Yes Andy, it's fine," Josh said. "What's the name?" Josh asked.
"Alyssa. I want to name our baby to be Alyssa Maria-Jade Trager."
"I love that name," Josh smiling, kissing Andy on the forehead.
"Little girl, your name is Alyssa," Josh said, looking at his daughter.
"She's so helpless," Andy said. "Josh I'm scared."
"I am too. I am too."
A/N: I used my friend's name for Josh and Andy's baby and Maria was my grandmother's name which I was going to use but I used Alyssa instead. And the name Jade is one of my favorite names and is also my niece's middle name. Thanks for reading and more chapters will be up soon!
