Chapter 7: An Angel Is Watching Over Me

Elizabeth laid in the quiet room. She looked up at the ceiling and prayed. "Please Mark please save our baby". She could hear the noises of the ER outside. She was frightened. She wished Carter would come back.

Rachel flew through the ER looking for Kerry and Peter. She saw Kerry. "Kerry" she yelled. Kerry turned around and saw Rachel racing toward her. Her eyes filled with tears. Kerry looked at her. "Rachel what's wrong" Rachel took a minute to catch her breath. "It's Elizabeth and the baby" "Carter told me to come find you and Peter" Kerry nodded "Okay where are they" Rachel told her they were in exam room 2. She nodded "Okay I'll go you get Peter" Rachel watched Kerry race toward the exam room. Now she had to find Peter.

Elizabeth heard the door open Carter walked in with Abby. Abby smiled "Hi Elizabeth how are you feeling" Elizabeth sighed "It hurts Abby its not as bad as before but it still hurts" Abby nodded " Carter's going to do the ultrasound and I'm going to check your cervix is that okay" Elizabeth nodded. She laid back as Abby did her exam. Elizabeth started to cry again it was happening again just like it did with Ella but this time Mark wasn't there to hold her.

Rachel finally found Peter. "Peter Elizabeth needs you" Peter looked at her he could tell she had been crying. "Why what's wrong" he asked. Rachel sighed "She might lose the baby she was having pain" That's all Peter needed to hear. He grabbed Rachel. "Take me to her Rachel" She nodded and they headed for the exam room.

Kerry raced in. She saw Abby finishing her exam and Carter was getting the ultrasound ready. Kerry walked over to Abby "How is she" Abby sighed "Everything looks okay there's no bleeding and her cervix seems fine. Kerry nodded. She looked at Elizabeth. "How you holding up" Elizabeth whispers "Okay I guess" Kerry nodded "Okay any more pain" She shook her head "Just a little." Kerry sighed "Okay well I'm going to check you just to make sure Abby didn't miss anything alright" Elizabeth nodded. She examined her with the same results Abby had.

Peter and Rachel came into the room. Peter flew up to Elizabeth's side. He took her hand. "Elizabeth are you okay" She slowly nodded as she broke down in tears again. She whispers "I'm scared and Mark's not here to hold me like last time" Peter wiped away her tears "Shh its okay Elizabeth I know I'm not Mark but I'll hold you" She looked up at him and nodded. He sat on the edge of the bed next to her and held her close to him.

Carter smiled. He was glad Peter was back. "Okay Elizabeth I'm going to do your ultrasound now" He lifted her gown exposing her belly he rubbed cool gel on her belly. He smiled when he found the baby on the screen and saw that it had a strong steady heartbeat. He turned the screen toward Elizabeth "There he is, and he has a nice strong steady heartbeat" Rachel was in awe as she looked at the screen. She looked at Elizabeth "Is that really my baby brother" she asked. Elizabeth nodded yeah it is" She turned to Carter. "Is he okay" she asked him. He smiled "He looks fine Elizabeth, but he won't be fine if you don't take it easy I think you should take some time off so you and your baby will stay healthy" Elizabeth smiles "I'll be fine Carter I have an angel watching over me" Carter smiled "Yes I know and if he could he would tell you the same thing" She sighed "I know but how can I rest I have a 10 month old daughter to take care of a house to keep clean there's just no time for rest"

Rachel smiled "I could stay Elizabeth" Elizabeth smiled "That's sweet of you honey but you only have a few months left of school then you'll be here for the summer I'll be alright" Rachel pouted "But what if what happens today happens again and you're all alone" Peter whispers "She won't be alone I'll be there" Elizabeth looked at him "Peter what are you talking about" He looked at her "Elizabeth you're one of my best friends I've always cared about you and I did promise Mark I'd take care of you and Ella besides I'm getting tired of staying with Jackie" he giggled. She was surprised by what Peter was saying. "Peter I, I, don't know" Peter smiled "It'll be great Elizabeth I'll cook for you and look after Ella while you rest she'll have fun playing with Reese then in a few months Rachel will be there to help out too.

Rachel smiled "It's prefect please Elizabeth if Peter's there I won't have to worry about being all the way in St. Louis" Kerry smiled "Yeah it sounds like a great idea Elizabeth and John and I can stop by and help out once and while" Abby chimed in "Luka and I will come and help out too" Elizabeth smiled she knew this was Mark's doing she was glad he was her angel watching her and she was glad to have so many warm loving friends. She looked at Peter. "Okay you and Reese can move in" she thought to herself "It will be nice sharing that big house with someone again." Peter smiled and hugged her "Great we'll move in tonight" Elizabeth smiled and whispered. "Than you Mark you'll always be my Angel"
