That night, as Corey was asleep, Topanga was awake. Her stomach hurt.really
bad. She thought to herself, "Could these be contractions?" Then she
changed her mind.it was too early. She was only six months pregnant. She
couldn't be pregnant.
The pains started coming closer and closer. Finally when they were
five minutes apart she woke up Corey. "Corey?" she said as she shook him a
little on the shoulder. He woke up instantly.
"What is it Topanga?" he asked. She never woke him up at.3:00 in the morning for nothing.
"Corey, I think the babies are coming."
"What?!? It's too early! They can't be coming now!"
"They are."
"Okay," he said hopping out of bed. I'll get the bag.you stay here. I'll come get you in a minute."
"Corey! I CAN walk!"
"Oh, okay.come on, let's go to the hospital."
"You should call them first. Let them know were coming."
"Okay." Corey called and then they got in the car. Topanga was scared. Something was wrong. She could tell. As soon as they were out of the car Corey practically pulled Topanga into the hospital. "Hello, My name is Corey Matthews and my wife is having a baby."
"Really?" said the receptionist sarcastically, "I couldn't tell.fill out these forms." She said handing him some papers on a clipboard. The head nurse came in then.
"Melissa! These are the Matthews!"
"I know." Said Melissa.
"And what did Doctor Stengle tell you to do when the Matthews got here?"
"Go get him?" guessed the young woman.
"Yes.GO!" said the head nurse. "I'm sorry about Melissa.she's new. Now, how far apart are the contractions?"
"About five minutes." Said Topanga.
"Okay.Ah! Here's Dr. Stengle now."
"Hello Corey! Hello Topanga!"
"Hi." They both replied.
"Come on back and we'll see what's wrong, okay?"
"Okay." They waited while Dr. Stengle did things to Topanga. After about 10 minutes the doctor pulled Corey outside. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this but, either the babies are going to live or Topanga will."
"What?!? I have to choose between my wife or my children?!"
"Well, there is a 30% chance that Topanga will make it."
"I'm going to go talk to her. Could you call my parents and have them call Mr. Feeny?"
"Of course."
Corey walked back into the room. "What's wrong?" asked Topanga instantly.
"Honey.the doctor said that either you're going to live or.the babies will. Well, actually, there is a 30% chance you will live during birth."
"WHAT!"
"I know.honey, I'm sorry." He was almost positive she was going t o say she lives.
"Let them live."
"WHAT?"
"Let them live. Look, I might even live. Corey, I have to do this. AND NOW!" she screamed from the pain.
"I don't want to lose you."
"You won't." Just then there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" she called.
"Have you made your decision?" asked the Dr.
"Yes." Said Topanga smiling. "Let the babies live."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Said Corey in a tiny voice. As they wheeled Her into surgery Corey's family arrived.
"The doctor explained on the phone." Said Alan.
"She's going to be fine." Said Amy.
"I hope so."
