WE are in the waiting room and the doctor takes us to the room we are always in. First we do an ultrasound. "She looks just fine" He prints our pictures and wipes off the gel. Next, he listens to the baby's heartbeat. He has a concerned look on his face. "What is it?" Tobias asks. "Well, her heartbeat is really slow. We have to do an emergency C-section." He replies. Toby looks at me, and I just look shocked. "Four, can you text everyone, and have someone call Caleb and my parents?" I ask. "Of Course. Can I be with her during the operation?" Four asks the doctor. "Yes, but we will have to give her the gas that will make her go to sleep, we won't have enough time for the shots to work." The doctor says. When he gets me in the wheelchair, he takes me down to labor and delivery. He takes me to an operating room, puts me on the bed, and puts a mask on my face, I hear Four tell me that he loves me, and then I fall into a deep sleep.

Tris and I are sitting in the waiting room. When the doctor calls us back, we follow him to the room we are normally in. First the doctor does an ultrasound. "She looks just fine he says." He gives me the pictures as he wipes the gel off of Tris' stomach. Next he tells us that we are going to listen to the heartbeat. He puts the machine on Tris, and the earbuds in his ears. He gets a concerned look on his face. "What is it?" I ask. "Well, the baby's heartbeat is really slow. We have to do an emergency C-section." He tells us. Tris looks shocked. "Four, can you text everyone, and have someone call Caleb and my parents?" She asks. "OF course." I text everyone while the doctor goes to get the wheel chair. Hey guys. The baby's heartbeat is really slow. She's having an emergency C-section. Come to the hospital. She really wants you here. I ask Christina to call Caleb and Mr. and Mrs. Prior. When we get to the labor and delivery ward, we have to go through the waiting room, and everyone is there. "There on their way." Christina tells us. I nod, as I follow the doctored into the operating room. He places a mask on Tris' face. "I love you." I tell her. She smiles and her eyes close. She is asleep. The doctor starts the procedure. He asks me to cut the cord. I say yes and do it. The doctor goes to clean our daughter and then sends her to the NICU. HE tells me to follow him as he takes Tris to the recovery area. She will wake up in a few hours. The doctor tells me I can go get whoever is in the waiting room. I walk out and when everyone sees me they run over to me and asks me a bunch of questions. I just take them back to where Tris is. "Where's the baby?" Caleb asks. "They had to take her to the NICU." I reply. We just sit there. The heart monitor that is attached to Tris beeps away, letting us know that she is alive. She still hasn't woken up, and it has been hours since the surgery. The doctor says it may be because they gave her a lot of the gas. All of a sudden, the heart monitor attached to Tris goes flat. I call for a doctor, and he makes all of us leave. We go back to the waiting room. I cry into Mrs. Priors shoulder. Everyone tries to distract me. Christina even gets the twins from the hospital day care for me to see them. I just cry even harder. They remind me so much of Tris. She just takes them back to the daycare. Hours later the doctor comes out. I look at him. "We got her heart started again, but about an hour ago it stopped again. We got it started again, but if it stops one more time, I don't know if we will be able to get it started again. We sent her to the ICU. She still hasn't woken up yet, but she will hopefully wake up within the next few hours. As for the baby, her heartbeat is back to normal, and she is out of the incubator. If you would like to go see her, she is in the room where Tris was supposed to be." He says. I just start crying all over again. When I am done crying, we all go to see my daughter. Tris never told me what we should name her. I take one look at my daughter and sit on the bed and start crying. Mrs. Prior walks over to the bed and comforts me. When I am done I thank her. "Oh Four, no need to thank me, and, please, call me Natalie." She says. We all stay in the room for a few hours. We all hold my daughter. Everyone has asked me what the name is. "I don't know. Tris never told me." The doctor comes in at 6:00 and tells us that Tris is awake and we can all go see her. "Can we take our daughter?" I ask. "Of course, as long as you keep her in the carriage when you're walking." He says. We all walk to the ICU. We walk in and a nurse takes us to Tris' room. She has a cannula in her nose and looks surprised to see our daughter. "Hello beautiful." I say greeting her. "Why is our daughter here?" She asks. "They got her heartbeat steady really fast, and she passed all of the tests to get out of the NICU. They think the reason her heartbeat was so slow was that she wasn't getting enough oxygen. She is premature, but her lungs are full developed, and she is big, considering she was born two months early." I reply. "What's the name." Christina asks as I hand our daughter to Tris. "Natalie Christina Eaton." She replies. "Well, I did let your mom hold her first, and Christina second. After me of course." I reply. Tris and the baby are leaving the hospital in a week. Then Tris has to start seeing a heart specialist.
