Olivia.
"Cory...Cory!"
I swerved the car around the corner and slammed my fists on the wheel.
I beeped the horn at whoever wouldn't get out of my way until we reached the hospital.
I swerved the car into emergency and called for help as I clambered out of the car.
Cory was a heavy dead weight in my arms as I carried her to the stretcher.
"She's gone into a cardiac arrest. We have to get that baby out now."
The nurses swarmed around her as I chased after them down the hall.
A nurse tried to stop me from going in.
"I'm that baby's godmother. I need to be in there." I said breathlessly.
She was about to deny me but I pleaded with her.
She handed me a mask, plastic coat and gloves.
As I put them on and held an awakening Cory's hand I brushed back her hair trying to soothe her.
"What's going on?" She moaned.
"You stopped breathing babe. They're gonna do a C-section on you. Everything's gonna be okay."
She mumbled a slightly gargled sentence before squeezing my hand tight.
Finally it came.
The sound of crying as a small, slimy body was pulled from Cory.
As the doctors pulled out the placenta they began to stitch Cory up.
"It's a girl!"
The nurse handed the gurgling bundle to Cory who kissed its head before looking up to me.
"She's beautiful. Thank you."
I smiled as a tear glistened in my eye.
"Would you like to cut the cord?"
The nurse gently took the baby from Cory's arms and laid her on a table where I was handed a clamp.
Resistant at first but only shaky when done I cut her cord before taking her into my arms.
I softly traced my fingers over her red fuzz inherited from Darcy and stared into her deep green eyes (also from Darcy) but her little button nose was definitely Cory's.
"What's her name?"
"Beth. Beth Cordelia Winters."
