A/N: I love reviews! They've been pouring in! Sorry about the name
mistakes. I'm kinda blonde : - ) F.Y.I.: Sarah doesn't work at the
hospital with Matt any longer. She now stays at home. She quit to prepare
for the baby, and after he or she is born, she plans to be a stay-at-home
mom. Did I tell you that yet?
September passed quickly. Everyone went about their lives as usual. Mary and Ben loved to consider themselves and Natalie a family, and used the term as much as possible. Sarah and Lucy went into their 6th month of pregnancy and Haylie into her 5th.
October 14th started as any other day did for Matt and Sarah. Matt went off to the hospital, and Sarah stayed at home. Sometimes she missed working at the hospital, but she liked being at home just as well. She sat at the kitchen table reading the paper. Suddenly, she began to feel dizzy. The feeling grew until it was so strong that she fell from her seat. Her eyes were wide with fear as she slowly got up. This wasn't the first time that this had happened, but this was definitely the hardest it had ever hit her. Right away, Sarah began to feel dizzier than even before, and suddenly, everything went black.

"Jacob! Alex!" Lucy cried down the hall to her sons.
"Coming!" Shouted Alex, as he zoomed out into the main room. Lucy smiled and leaned down to pick up her 4-year-old.
"You're getting heavy!" She exclaimed. He laughed.
"I'm a big boy now." He told her proudly.
"Yes you are. Four years old. Almost an adult!" She joked. Alex smiled broadly. "Jake!" She shouted again. Finally, the 5-year-old sidled out into the room.
"Here I am!" Jacob said with a laugh.
"Good." Lucy said. She sat Alex down and she led the boys out the door to the car. After getting them seated and buckled in, the got into the driver's seat, and turned the key.
"Why are we going to Aunt Sarah's house, mommy?" Alex asked. Lucy laughed.
"Because we haven't seen Aunt Sarah in a long time!" She told him.
"Is her baby home yet?" He asked innocently. Lucy smiled.
"Not yet." She said. "The baby will be home in a few months."
"When will little sister be home?" He asked, pointing to his mother's stomach.
"About 3 months." She said. He nodded his head. They pulled into Sarah's driveway. Jacob got out of the car and ran inside while Lucy got Alex out of the car. Suddenly, Jacob shouted out and ran back to his mother. He was out of breath.
"Mom!" He yelled. Lucy spun around to see what her son needed.
"Aunt Sarah --- I think she's dead!" He cried. Lucy's eyes widened. She grabbed her purse and ran inside, closely followed by both of her sons. When she got inside the home, she gasped. Sarah lay sprawled out on the ground un moving.
Lucy ran to her getting onto her knees. She put her fingers on her sister-in-law's throat, and to her relief, felt a pulse. She grabbed the phone, dialing Matt. He answered his cell on the first ring.
"Matt! It's Lucy! Sarah-she's unconscious on the ground we just got here to visit. What do I do?" She asked in panic. Matt gasped.
"Call 9-1-1." He said quickly. "I'll be home before the ambulance gets there. Bye." He said. He hung up before she could even say good bye. She called 9-1-1, and the operator said that they were sending an ambulance, like Matt had said. Lucy sank back down onto the floor with Sarah. She tried to wake Sarah, but nothing worked. Just a few minutes later, Matt ran in the door and got to Sarah. His eyes filled with tears as he checked her pulse and sat her up, trying to get her conscious. The ambulance got there quickly, and they loaded Sarah onto a stretcher. Matt went with them to the hospital. On his way out the door, she looked back at Lucy.
"Meet us there." He told her. They left. Lucy looked at her sons. Their faces were terror-stricken.
"Come on guys." She told them, grabbing their shaking hands. "We're going to go to the hospital.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sarah opened her eyes slowly. She smiled, seeing that Matt was sitting next to her.
"Matt-what happened?" She asked. Suddenly, she seemed to realize where she was. "Who-who found me?" Matt reached forward and put his hand on her face.
"Lucy and her boys came over to visit and found you. Luce called me and called 9-1-1. She's out in the waiting room." He told her.
"But what happened? You didn't answer me." She said. Matt sighed.
"Well," He began, not knowing what to say. "Your body isn't supporting the baby very well." He told her. Sarah looked worriedly at him.
"Is the baby ok?" She asked.
"For now." Matt answered. Sarah looked at him getting him to explain. "If this continues- you might" He sighed again sadly. "You might lose the baby." He said. Sarah's eyes flooded with tears as she grabbed onto her stomach. She looked up at Matt with fear in her eyes.
"Don't let that happen!" She cried. Matt rubbed her back.
"Don't worry. They have the baby supervised on this machine." He said, pointing to the large thing next to him. The nurse entered the room and came over to the machine, examining the data. She turned to Sarah.
"The heart rate has slowed." She told her. "You're at six months, correct?" Sarah nodded her head. "OK." The nurse began. "If this heart rate doesn't get back to normal, we'll get the baby out."
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked.
"We could do a C-section." She told her. Sarah looked at the nurse.
"OK." She said numbly. The nurse gave her a weak smiled, and left the room. When she did so, Sarah turned to Matt with a tear running down her cheek. He put his arm around her, and prayed for her and the baby while she cried.
