A few minutes later, Rachel was in Ben's arms. Ben was rubbing her back slowly. He kissed her head softly. Rachel cried in her husband's arms. She didn't want her son to die.

"How are you feeling?" Ben asked.

"I am okay. But, what is going to happen to him Ben?" Rachel asked.

"I don't know sweetheart. Once he has been looked at, I am sure that Dr. Leon will tell us what the next step is" Ben said.

"We didn't even get to hold him" Rachel said.

"I know baby. I know. I am going to go out to the waiting room and get my mom okay? I will be right back" Ben said.

"Hurry back" Rachel said.

Ben walked to the waiting room and found his mother. Gabriella looked at Ben and knew something was wrong. She walked over to him and gave him a hug.

"How is Rachel?" Gabriella asked.

"She's okay. The baby is in ICU. We didn't get to hold him, mom. Rachel is petrified that he is going to die" Ben said as he wiped his tears away.

Gabriella hugged her son and rubbed his back. She kissed his cheek. Gabriella looked at Ben.

"Is she up for any visitors?" Gabriella asked her son.

"She will talk to you, but just be gentle about the baby" Ben said.

"I will" Gabriella said.

Gabriella and Ben walked to Rachel's hospital room. Gabriella kissed Rachel's head softly.

"Hi sweetheart, how are you feeling?" Gabriella asked.

"I'm feeling okay but I am scared for him Gabriella" Rachel said.

"I know you are, honey. Everyone is. Sam told me to tell you that she loves you and that she's proud of you" Gabriella said.

"I love her too" Rachel said.

Dr. Leon walked into the room and smiled.

"Hi guys" Dr. Leon said.

"How's my baby?" Rachel asked.

"He's fine. Since he is premature, and some of his organs are not fully developed yet, we need to keep a close eye on him. Since you were only five months pregnant, we need to keep him until he has developed the organs" Dr. Leon said.

"How long is that Dr. Leon?" Ben asked.

"I would say three or four months. Just to be on the safe side. I know this is hard on everyone and I am really sorry" Dr. Leon said.

Rachel's eyes filled with tears.

"Thank you" Ben said.

"Can we hold him?" Rachel asked quietly.

"Rachel, I am sorry but he is too weak. He needs to be kept in an incubator until he matures. You can see him and touch him through the incubator though" Dr. Leon said.

Rachel nodded. Dr. Leon left the room. Rachel buried herself in the hospital bed and cried. Ben rubbed her back soothingly. He kissed her head.

"I love you so much. I am not going to let anything happen to him, I promise" Ben whispered.

"I love you too" Rachel mumbled.

Gabriella went to the other side of Rachel. She kissed her head softly.

"I love you, Rachel" Gabriella said.

"I love you too Gabriella" Rachel said.

"Ben, why don't you go and take a break? Go for a walk, go eat something, I will be here" Gabriella said.

"I don't want to leave her" Ben said.

"Honey, please" Gabriella said.

"Okay" Ben said.

Ben kissed Rachel's cheek.

"I will be back in a little while" Ben said.

Rachel didn't respond. Ben walked out the hospital room and went for a walk. Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Gabriella sat down and looked at her daughter in law. She felt so bad for Ben and Rachel. They were first time parents and something bad had already happened. Gabriella was pulled out of her thoughts when Rachel turned over and looked at her.

"Do you want some water, honey?" Gabriella asked.

Rachel nodded. Gabriella got a cup and filled it with water. She then handed it to Rachel. Rachel sat up a little bit and sipped the water. She then lied back down.

"How are you doing?" Gabriella asked as she moved stray hairs away from Rachel's face.

"How did this happen?" Rachel asked.

"I don't know Rachel. You didn't do anything wrong. This is how he wanted to come and he is going to be okay" Gabriella said.

A nurse came into the room and smiled.

"Rachel?" the nurse called.

Rachel looked at the nurse.

"Yes?" Rachel asked.

"Your son is in ICU and settled. Do you want to meet him?" the nurse asked.

"Yes. But, can we wait for a few minutes, my husband is not back yet" Rachel said.

"Okay, just press the call button when you are ready" the nurse said.

"Thank you" Rachel said.

The nurse left and Rachel looked at Gabriella.

"Can you call him and tell him to get over here? Don't tell him why" Rachel said.

"Okay" Gabriella said.

Gabriella went outside and called Ben. She then came back in and smiled at Rachel.

"Is he coming?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, I just said that you needed him" Gabriella said.

"Thank you" Gabriella said.

A couple minutes later, Ben came into the hospital room. He looked confused.

"Hey, what's going on?" Ben asked.

"A nurse came in and said that we can see him" Rachel said excitedly.

"Really?" Ben asked.

Rachel nodded. Ben kissed Rachel's lips passionately. Rachel pulled back and rested her forehead against Ben's.

"I love you babe" Ben said.

"I love you too" Rachel said as she kissed Ben one last time.

Rachel pressed the call button. The nurse came into the room a couple minutes later.

"Are you ready to meet your son?" the nurse asked.

The couple nodded. The nurse helped Rachel get out of bed and sit in a wheelchair. Gabriella, Ben, Rachel, and the nurse then walked to ICU and walked into a room that was filled with incubators. The nurse pushed Rachel's wheelchair to an incubator that said Bolton on the top of it. Rachel and Ben saw their son for the first time. Rachel's eyes started to water and tears cascaded down her cheeks. Ben wrapped his arm around Rachel and kissed her head.

"He's beautiful" Ben said quietly.

"Yeah" Rachel said.

"He looks just like you Rachel" Gabriella said.

Rachel smiled for the first time in three days.

"Are we going to name him with the name we chose?" Ben asked.

"Yeah" Rachel said.

"What's his name?" Gabriella asked.

"Blake Troy Bolton" Rachel said.

Gabriella smiled. She kissed Ben and Rachel's cheeks.

"Both you and Sammy, really love our names" Gabriella said.

"Well, we love you and you have done so much for Gabriella" Rachel said.

"I love you guys too" Gabriella said.

The nurse looked at the couple and Gabriella.

"Do you want to touch him?" the nurse asked.

Ben and Rachel looked at each other. They then looked back at the nurse.

"Yeah" Ben said.

The nurse gave the couple gloves that would protect Blake from getting an infection. She then opened the incubator.

"Just put one hand in and touch him" the nurse instructed.

Ben looked at Rachel.

"Do you want to go first?" Ben asked.

"Sure" Rachel said.

Rachel put her hand in and touched Blake for the first time. She smiled as tears ran down her face.

"Hi sweetheart, I'm your mommy" Rachel said softly.

Ben smiled and wrapped his arm around his mother.

"I love you so much Blake and I can't wait until daddy and I can hold you" Rachel said.

Rachel turned around and smiled. Gabriella gave her daughter in law a hug. Ben went to the incubator next.

"Hey Blake, I'm your daddy. You are the greatest thing that has happened to your mommy and I. We love you so much and can't wait to hold you and take you home" Ben said as he brushed his finger over the infants fragile body.

Blake got up from his seat and wiped the tears from his eyes. Rachel smiled and hugged her husband.

"I love you" Rachel said.

"I love you too babe" Ben said.

"Rachel, you need to sign some release papers and you will be able to go home" the nurse said.

"Okay" Rachel said looking at Blake.

The couple left ICU and returned to Rachel's hospital room. The nurse helped Rachel sit up and sign the documents. She then left the room.

"Do you need any help?" Ben asked.

"No but thank you" Rachel said as she got out of the hospital bed.

Rachel took her clothes and walked into the bathroom. A few minutes later, Rachel emerged from the bathroom and was ready to go.

"Are you ready?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah" Ben said as he entwined his fingers with Rachel's.

"We will come back tomorrow" Rachel said.

Ben, Rachel, and Gabriella left the hospital. They hoped that Blake would be released soon. They drove to the Bolton home and parked the car. The three adults walked into the house.

"Troy?" Gabriella called.

"In the office" Troy said.

Gabriella, Ben, and Rachel walked into Troy's office and sat down.

"How is he doing today?" Troy asked the couple.

"He's really small. But, we got to touch him today. The nurse wouldn't let us hold him" Ben said.

"When are they thinking that he will be released?" Troy asked.

"Dr. Leon said that he needs to be in the hospital for three or four months since I only carried him for five months" Rachel said.

"Oh wow. Are they going to let you hold him before that?" Troy asked.

"I hope so" Rachel said.

"Did you name him?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, his name is Blake Troy Bolton" Ben said proudly.

Troy smiled and hugged his son and daughter in law.

"Thanks guys, I love it. How are you feeling about all of this? You must be stressed out" Troy said.

"For me, I am frustrated because every mother wants to hold their child after they give birth. But, since I didn't get that opportunity, it bothers me" Rachel confessed.

"I know, we have waited nine months to hold him and when he's finally here, we are told we can't. It sucks" Ben said.

"I know it's hard guys but you will get through it" Troy said.

"Anyway, I think we should be getting home" Ben said.

"No, you are not leaving this house. You are going to stay the night" Gabriella said.

"Are you sure mom?" Ben asked.

"Gabriella, we don't want to intrude" Rachel said.

"You are my children and you both are going through something very hard that no parent should have to. I love you guys" Gabriella said.

"We love you too, mom" Ben said as he wrapped his arm around Rachel.

"Is Sammy coming?" Rachel asked.

"I think she said she was" Gabriella said as she looked at Troy.

Before anyone could say anything, the doorbell rang. Gabriella got up and walked to the front door. She opened it and smiled when she saw her daughter and granddaughter.

"Hi Sammy" Gabriella said as she took Brie out of Sam's arms.

"Hi mom, where are they?" Sam asked referring to Ben and Rachel.

"They are in the office with your dad" Gabriella said as they walked to the office.

Sam and Gabriella walked into the office. Ben turned around and looked at his sister. He got up and gave her a hug. Sam rubbed his back and Ben pulled back.

"How are you doing? What's the update?" Sam asked as she sat down.

"He has to stay in ICU for three or four months so that his organs can develop because he was born so early" Rachel said.

"Oh man, how are you guys doing though?" Sam asked as she looked at her brother and sister in law.

"We are taking it day by day. Today was a good day, but yesterday was a mess" Ben said.

"Do you have a name for him?" Sam asked.

"Blake Troy Bolton" Rachel said proudly.

Sam smiled and looked at her father.

"I love it. Did you get to see him?" Sam asked.

"Yeah for a little while. We can't hold him until he grows a little more and his body develops" Rachel said sadly.

The Bolton family talked about Blake and tried to help Ben and Rachel through this hard time in their life.
