Jamie's breath became regular again. She was relieved. Maybe she could sing
a song to the little child that was coming out, and calm Landon down too.
Jamie sang to him, to calm him for what was going to happen next.
"You write me up and then I fall for you You lay me down and then I call for you Stumbling on reasons that are far and few I let it all come down and then some for you
Pretty baby Don't you leave me I have been singing smiles for you Pretty baby Why can't you see You are the one I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm For you the sun that breaks the storm I'll be all right And I'll sleep sound As long as you keep coming around
Pretty baby.
And no most things can't last forever But there are lessons that you'll never learn Oh just the sense of you Makes me hurt So how does your love make me better
Pretty baby Don't you leave me I have been singing smiles for you Pretty baby Why can't you see You are the one I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm For you the sun that breaks the storm I'll be all right And I'll sleep sound As long as you keep coming around
Well can you Hold me And I will never let go When you touch me And it's me that you want Pretty baby. Oh the place that you hold in my heart.
Her voice trailed off. It had been getting weaker through the whole song. Once again, her eyelids fluttered. "Doctor, do something!" he yelled.
"I'm sorry, there is nothing we can do," said the doctor, "But we may be able to save the child, so that is what all of us are going toward right now." Landon held Jamie's slender hand. He looked at her hand, realizing how skinny she really was. The bones protruded out of the hand, there was not fat or flesh, just bone.
He whispered to Jamie, "Have you suffered?" A single tear went down his cheek with her reply, "It has been very painful, yes, but I have not suffered. I have led a great life, and am leaving two children on this earth. I feel that my duty is done."
"You wouldn't like to live?"
"Why, of course I would love to live. I didn't say that. I just, well, I feel I have done a good job with what I had in this life." Jamie sat, staring into Landon's tear-filled eyes. "Landon, you knew this was coming. I warned you before we got married. The only thing I regret in this life is that you had to suffer."
Landon shook his head, "I didn't suffer. I had the most wonderful time of my life. But I still think you might live yet, if you believe."
Jamie shook her head sadly at Landon, "You still don't believe? Landon, I'm dying. I could have made it; maybe, with only one birth but this one is putting me over the top. Just make sure you take care of your Lymphoma. I do not want my children to be orphans." Landon nodded, promising that he would get taken care of.
"Well, if you have to die, then," he gulped thickly then continued, "Tell your father 'hi' for me."
"Landon, I feel as if I may live a couple more days, maybe. I want to see my children as soon as possible. Maybe even help with the other one's name?"
"I hope you live more then just a couple days!" cried out Landon. One of the nurses came up.
"Mr. Carter, you're making her to upset. Perhaps it would be better if you waited in the waiting room."
"NO!" cried out Jamie with as much energy as she could. "Leave him here, or I will be even more upset!"
"Very well," replied the nurse and went back to help the doctor.
"Okay, Jamie, we need you to try pushing again," said the doctor. Jamie seemed to have a little energy back and put it toward pushing. Jamie screamed as the child came sliding out. "It's a girl!" cried out the doctor.
"Twin girls!" gasped Jamie, "How about Hope?"
"What about hope?" asked Landon.
"No, no, I mean Hope as a name."
"I love it," said Landon, pushing back her bangs and kissing her on the forehead. He said a silent prayer, hoping Jamie would be alive in the morning.
A/N: By the way, this song was "Pretty Baby" by Vennessa Carlton (Is that how you spell it?) Oh, it's a good time for a disclaimer. I don't own anything toward A Walk To Remember. All I own is that clinic, Faith, and Hope.
Oh and I realize that EVERYONE uses the names Faith and Hope but they just fit, don't they?
