Alison couldn't believe she was laying in a bed in the maternity ward of General Hospital. She shouldn't be here for a few more months. This can't be happening she kept thinking, then she wondered where Rafe was. Her and her mom had gone baby shopping, just a girls day out. It was all girls actually, since they knew the baby she was carrying was a girl. Alison was walking down one aisle, when she felt the first jab of pain. She screamed out Elizabeth's name. Elizabeth had just enough time to come running and grab her daughter before she collapsed on the floor. They called an ambulance immediately, and then called Lucy. Lucy said she would go and get Rafe. She knew he'd be too upset to drive over here, so Lucy was bringing him. Where was he? It had seemed like forever since she had gotten into the room.

Rafe had just finished washing dishes from lunch. He had the apartment to himself, as Alison and Elizabeth had gone baby shopping. He wondered what all they had bought. It seemed like each time they went out anywhere they brought home half the store with them. He heard footsteps up the stairs and then a knock at the door.
"What, are your arms too full with packages?" he joked walking to open the door.
Instead of Alison he saw Lucy standing in his doorway. Her eyes were red and puffy, as if she'd been crying recently. "Lucy, what's wrong? Is it Ian?"
"Rafe, I need to sit down and talk with you." She said, scared of having to tell him Alison might loose the baby.
"Alright. Tell me what is it?"
"It's Alison," she said, starting to tear up. "She collapsed in the store, they've got her at the hospital already. She wanted me to come and get you, she thought you'd be too upset to drive."
"Is everything ok? Is she going to be ok? We need to get over there, but let me go get something out of the bedroom." As he stood up, shakily.
He walked into the bedroom, and stared up at the ceiling. "Dad, I know your watching us right now. Just take care of Alison and our little girl. I can't loose her dad, I can't loose either of them. They are my whole life now. Please, just make everything ok. Our life was just starting to go right. Please, oh please let her be alright." He finished with his eyes full of tears. He opened a drawer they had started to put baby linens in. He grabbed a small pink blanket out of it. He looked down, he'd never noticed the appliquéd pink rose in the corner.
"Are you ready to go?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, I've got to get to my girls now." He said as he grabbed the apartment keys and they headed out the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
When Rafe walked into her hospital room she was asleep. Elizabeth had said she'd been asleep for fifteen minutes. He leaned over and kissed her softly on the forehead, and then placed the baby blanket inside the top drawer of the bedside table. He then walked back outside.
"So how is it looking? What are our chances of.of loosing our baby?" he asked the doctor.
"Right now it's not looking good for the baby. I'm very worried about Alison. If it keeps getting worse we will have to deliver the baby in order to save her."
"I understand, though I'd rather not have to worry about either of my angels."
"That's completely understandable. I will be back in to check on her in about an hour or so." She says and walks off.
"Was she complaining at all before this happened?" asking Elizabeth.
"No, she was completely fine. I was over looking at bath stuff for the baby, and she was looking at the aisle with blankets. I was about to tell her to come look at something when I heard her scream my name. By the time I ran around the corner she was starting to fall down."
"I'm glad you were there. I'm sure she's glad too."
He looked into the window of her room and noticed she was starting to wake up. When he opened the door her eyes opened up.
"Hello Angel." He said coming over and sitting on her bed. "How are you feeling?"
"Much better now that you are here. Did you get to talk to the doctor? Did she tell you what may have caused this?"
"No, she didn't act like she knew what caused it. We'll probably have to stay here for awhile though. Maybe overnight."
