-Chapter 59-A New Years to remember-
-Judy pov-
I have never understood the Corcoran obsession with music. You don't have to be born Corcoran to get it. Cassandra definitely proves that point completely. She has been at the mic with Rachel all day.
-Rachel-Cassandra-Both-
I'm gonna be a mighty king so enemies beware
Well I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the main event, like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Now see here!
Free to run around all day
Free to do it all my way
Well I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in spotlight
Not yet
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be king Simba's finest fling
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, I just can't wait...
To be king
Sweet relief has finally hit my ears! No more singing! They have put the mics down. I look and see Madison seems to be in some in pain. I slowly walk over as the next song starts.
-Santana singing-
You're just a small bump unborn
In four months you're brought to life
You might be left with my hair
But you'll have your mother's eyes
I'll hold your body in my hands
Be as gentle as I can
But for now you're a scan of my unmade plans
A small bump
In four months you're brought to life
I'll whisper quietly
I'll give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me
I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
Oh, you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright
Oh, you're just a small bump unknown
You'll grow into your skin
With a smile like hers
And a dimple beneath your chin
Fingernails the size
Of a half grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide
A small bump
In four months you'll open your eyes
And I'll hold you tightly
I'll tell you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me
I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
Oh, you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright
And you can lie with me
With your tiny feet
When you're half asleep
I'll leave you be
Right in front of me
For a couple weeks
So I can keep you safe
'Cause you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright
'Cause you were just a small bump unborn
For four months then torn from life
Maybe you were needed up there
But we're still unaware as why
"Something isn't right" I walk over and see blood "Judy?"
"It will be ok" I pick her up and run to the front door "Shelby need your help right now! Get the keys!"
"Judy?" I can see the panic on Madison's face "What's happening?"
"Nothing baby" I put her in the back and sit beside her as Shelby runs out with the keys "We just need to get to the hospital"
"It's the babies isn't it?" I sigh and nod "Promise me they will be ok"
"I promise" I share a look with Shelby in the rear view "Just lesson to my voice ok?"
She nods and Shelby turns up the radio.
-Judy singing-
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
And me and all of the people with nothing to do and nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
We make it to the hospital and apparently someone called for them to be ready. We have to wait while she is sent to the back. I feel better when I see James run after them. He will help her.
All I can do now is pray god is over them.
-Time skip-
It has been hours since she went back. We haven't heard any updates yet. I just want to now that she is ok. That my promise is still in tact with her.
Everyone has come and is sitting in the waiting room. We all get up when a doctor comes in. We have to sit back down cause it's not for us though. I just need James to come out and talk to us.
"Hey" We all look to see James finally standing in the doorway of the room "We were able to get her through the birthing process and she is resting now"
"What about the baby?" James turns toward me "You didn't mention the baby! What happens to our baby James?! IS THE BABY OK?!"
"She is relying on us for air" I feel my heart drop "She is premature and obviously very small...she will make it though"
"How do you know?" I pull Shelby into me as she starts to cry "How do you know?"
"Because I know her family" James gives a small smile "Shes been fighting for us since being born...only test she hasn't passed is breathing on her own"
"But she'll be ok?" James nods and I feel my tears finally fall "Thank you"
"You can go see her" James moves aside from the doorway "I would strongly recommend it"
We nod and get up "Moms?" Our moms look up at me "Can you watch the kids?"
"Of course" My mom bounces Beth on her knee "We wouldn't do anything else"
I smiles and we all walk to James. He leads us out and through a door. It's a short walk before we reach her room. I wanna see the baby but seeing Madison is more important.
"She's on some pain medication" James opens the room door "But she is going to be fine"
"Thank you" he nods and walks away "Let's see our woman than"
"I'm scared" I take Emma's hand and we all walk in "Oh god"
She has some IVs sticking into her. There are some other machines plugged in beeping too. We slowly surround the bed and look at our wife. She always looks so peaceful in her sleep.
"I can feel your eyes" Madison gives a small smile "Do I look bad?"
"You look beautiful as always" Maribel sniffles and smiles "Just a picture of perfection"
"Is she ok?" We all are silent "Judy? Is she ok?"
"James says she will be fine" Madison slowly opens her eyes and looks at me "She just isn't breathing on her own yet"
"Do you know what happened?" Madison looks away from us "Madi?"
"I lifted a few heavy boxes" She sighs and refuses to look at any of us "I just wanted to help"
I sigh and grab her hand "You were helping by letting us do it" I see the tears in her eyes "We don't blame you Madi! She's alive and she will pull through! Isn't that what I promised you?"
"Yes" She finally turns toward us with tear filled eyes "I'm just so scared"
"We all are" Each of us put a hand on her "But we are in this together ok?"
She nods and stand there in silence. A lot could've happened today. A lot of bad things could've happened today. But thankfully everything turned out just fine.
After a while everyone comes in and we have New Years in the room. This isn't how we expected this to go. But sometimes that's just how life is. You take the good with the bad.
But no matter what happens..we get through it as a family.
