Chapter 26

2 months later…

We celebrated Elizabeth's first birthday. Andrew's parents flew in to celebrate with us. She was so cute. We were in the middle of celebrating when I felt like something had stabbed me in the stomach. I took a deep breath praying the pain would go away. It didn't. I walked over to the couch and sat down. Andrew was busy in the kitchen with Bryan and Elizabeth. Grace seen me hold my stomach and followed me.

"Margaret is everything alright?"

I nodded. "Yeah just a slight pain." Then the pain worsened. "Owe, okay no I'm not fine. Andrew!" I yelled for him and he came running into the living room.

"Sweetie what's wrong?"

"I think I'm going into labor."

"But its too soon." He began to panic. I wasn't due for another few weeks. Something was wrong. "Okay I'm going to take you to the hospital."

"Daddy is mom okay?"

"Yes she is fine. Go in the kitchen with Gammy and your sister."

"Andrew son, is she alright?"

"Yeah she's in labor dad. Could you drive us to the hospital?"

"Sure."

"Thanks. Mom would you mind watching them while we get her to the hospital?"

"Yes honey now go before she has the baby here."

We rush to the hospital and get her checked in. "Oh god I hate this pain!"

"Its going to be alright. I'm here." I held her hand then they got her into a room. Her water broke while she was on the bed.

"Andrew I cant do this. It hurts too much. Owe!"

"Sweetie you are going to be fine. Calm down and it will be alright." I was scared for her. This was my first time to be in a hospital when a child is born. They came in and gave her some medicine to ease her pain from the contractions.

Joe walked into the apartment.

"She is definitely in labor. I'll drive you all and probably by the time we get there she will have had the baby."

"Oh dear I hope she is alright. She is early." Gammy was worried.

Bryan looked at them. "Is mommy okay?"

"Yes. You are fixing to have a baby brother or sister."

"Come on, lets get to the hospital."

"Come on sweetie, keep pushing."

"I cant! It hurts so bad." I touch her forehead and move the hair out of her face.

"You are strong. I love you. I know you can do this because you can do anything."

She nodded then began to push again. The doctor looked at me. "We have to get this baby out now. The cord is around the neck."

"Oh my god." I looked at Margaret.

"What is it?"

"You need to push and give it all you have baby, the cord is around the neck. Come on, one more big push." She nodded and began to scream as she pushed so hard.

"I cant do this anymore!" She pushed one last time and then our baby was born. It was a beautiful little boy. I smiled but then something happened. The monitor went crazy as the lines went straight. This was not happening.

"Margaret! No! Don't leave me!" She had stopped breathing.
