As Father tries to answer them the heart monitor shows a near flat line of the baby's heart rate.
"I think the baby's shoulder is stuck, but if we don't get this baby out soon she will die."
Peter looks at the heart monitor, "Oh, no!!!! Catherine is passed out, it is too late for a c-section."
Peter grabs a scalpel, "We have to do some emergency surgery, that is our only hope, but we also need some blood. I think Catherine passed out from losing all that blood."
Father sees the concern on his son's face which mirrors what lies in his own heart.
Father looks at Peter, "There must be another way. I know!
Vincent, you gently push down on her abdomen as I maneuver the baby's
shoulder out. Peter be ready to take the baby quickly."
Peter stands next to them ready for action, "Ready."
Vincent gently pushes as Father says a prayer and starts to maneuver the baby. Father is about to give up when the shoulder comes free and with one more gentle push from Vincent the baby slides into Father's arms.
Father quickly hands the baby to Peter, because it's not breathing, while he goes to work on Catherine.
"Vincent, it's a girl."
Peter gets to work on the baby, cleaning the nose, throat, mouth, and
hitting the bottom of her feet, and she cries.
Vincent's terror for his daughter subsides as he watches Peter and knows that she will be okay by the look on his face. Then he looks down at Catherine's still limp body and the blood that surrounds her. He prays, "God don't let her die. We have our dream now, you can't take her."
Father is finally able to stop the bleeding. He glances at Peter and then the monitors. Her blood pressure seems to have stabilized, as has her heartbeat.
Peter looks at the baby, and puts her into the incubator, "We do have a problem with the baby. Her lungs aren't fully developed."
He looks at Vincent, "Catherine lost a lot of blood during the delivery, but she is stable. Hopefully, she will awaken soon."
Vincent say's with tears coming out of his eyes, "How soon?"
"I can't be sure, but hopefully very soon. The sooner the better."
Vincent gently lays Catherine on a pillow and walks over to look at his tiny daughter, "Peter, will she live?"
Peter looks up at Vincent, "Only Time will tell, Vincent. As long as her lungs develop correctly, she will be alright. But it will take some time."
Vincent looks at Father to confirm what Peter has said. It's not that he doubts Peter, but he needs to hear it from Father.
Father nods in agreement.
Vincent turns to Peter, "What are her chances?"
Peter answers, "Well, it is according to the baby. About 80 percent
chance."
Vincent say's with a sad heart, "Survival or death?"
"Survival."
"That's good."
Suddenly Vincent realizes how long he has been away from Jacob.
"Father, can you have Jacob brought to me? He is probably very scared. We know that he shares the bond, so he must be confused."
Father answers, "Vincent, I think it best for me to stay here, but if the baby is stable perhaps Peter can go."
Jacob is trying to run into the hospital chamber, while Jamie is trying to get him, "MOMMY, MOMMY?!?!"
Jamie, running in after Jacob, "I am sorry. He just got away from me."
Vincent scoops his son up.
Jacob trying to get to Catherine, "MOMMY?"
Now Vincent has to think how to explain about Catherine to their son without scaring him, "Jacob, mommy is very tired from having your sister, so she is sleeping and we can't wake her right now." He hopes this will work.
"MOMMY, SOMETHING WRONG? You sure?"
"I'm sure son." To distract him Vincent quickly changes the subject, "Jacob, want to see your sister?"
Jacob jumps in Vincent's arms, "Me see sister!!!!"
He walks over with his son to look at his beautiful daughter.
Jacob looks at all the wires hooked to the baby. "What are all those wires for?"
Vincent tries to think of a way to answer his son without upsetting him.
"Those wires are because your sister decided to meet you a little early and she needs those to help her finish the growing she didn't finish while she was in mommy's tummy. You understand?"
Jacob then asks, "May I touch her?"
Vincent looks to Peter for that answer as he realizes that he hasn't even touched her yet.
Peter comes over to them and answers, "Jacob sweetie, you can touch her if you are very careful." He gently lifts one of the wires, "These keep your sister alive, and need to stay in her for a while."
Jacob said with a half smile, "Okay."
Peter looked at Vincent, "You can hold her Vincent."
Vincent watches protectively over his daughter and son and almost doesn't hear Peter as he glances at Catherine who hasn't moved yet. It dawns on him what Peter just said and he hands Jacob to Father who has just finished checking on Catherine and takes his little girl.
Peter goes over to Father, whispering, "What do you think about Catherine?"
"I think that right now her chances are 50/50. She is stable, but she lost a lot of blood."
Peter then replies, "I am glad we were ready for all possibilities. We
already have blood going through her. I am glad we were able to find a
donor."
Father looks over at his son and new granddaughter, she is so tiny, but he knows she will make it.
"Jacob, you want to go eat with grandpa?"
Jacob not wanting to leave replies, "I want to stay with Sister, Mommy,
and Daddy."
Vincent hearing his son looks at the clock and knows that Jacob hasn't eaten all day, "Jacob, why don't you go eat with grandpa and you can bring mommy and me something back."
"Okay?" Jacob looks at Father, then to Vincent.
Peter looks at Vincent, "I won't even bother to ask you to join us, I know you won't leave Catherine or your daughter. We will bring you something to eat."
Vincent nods his head, "Thank you, Peter. Jacob, be a good boy."
"I will Daddy."
Father leads the way to the dining hall.
Peter follows.
Vincent turns his attention back to his daughter after a quick glance at Catherine He can't believe how beautiful their baby girl is.
Catherine starts to stir, "Mmmm."
Vincent's attention quickly turns from his daughter to his wife. He sees her stirring and quickly goes to place the baby in the incubator and rushes to Catherine's side grabbing her hand, "Catherine, my love. I'm here. Come back to me. I love you."
Catherine kind of mumbling replies, "Vincent.....what happened?"
Vincent reassures her, "You had the baby. You lost a lot of blood and they almost had to do a c-section, but Father was able to save her."
"Is she alright?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to see her?"
"Yes, I would love to see her."
Vincent kisses Catherine's hand and goes to get their beautiful little girl.
He gently lifts her from the incubator and carries her over to Catherine.
"Do you want me to help you hold her or do you think you're strong enough, my love?"
"What is wrong? Not fully developed or something?" Catherine says seeing all the wires."
"Her lungs are still immature and so are some of her other organs, but Peter says she has an 80% chance of survival and the longer she lives the better her chance."
"Oh, thank God. I think for now, I will just touch her while you hold her. I am still weak."
"Let me help you hold her." Vincent pushes Catherine's body up and slides behind her. Then he places their daughter in her arms as he holds her and the baby, and watches as Catherine meets their daughter for the first time.
Catherine looks at her daughter with a smile, "Oh, she is beautiful."
Vincent replies with a smile, "Yes she is my love. Just like you."
"Hello, little one." Catherine looks up at Vincent, and gives him a kiss.
"I love you."
The baby gently moves a little and you hear the normal grunting noises of a newborn.
"I love you, too."
Catherine looks down at the baby, "Hello little one. Welcome to the world. I am your Mommy."
Vincent rubs the baby's arm, "And I'm your daddy."
Catherine then says, "I am glad we have her. I am glad I am here to enjoy her."
"Me too, my love. Me too."
"Jacob saw her earlier and he loves her."
"Good, how is he taking all this? My passing out, both of us having wires come out of us."
"He thinks you're sleeping and he knows that she came early and the wires are to help her finish growing"
"Good."
"We need to come up with a name for this little one."
"I know. But we can't use it around anyone until her naming ceremony
"Yes. Will they wait till we are both up and well, for it?"
"Yes."
"Good."
Jacob came in with Father and Peter. Seeing Catherine awake, "Mommy, you awake."
Peter comes over to take her vitals, "She seems to be better. Not fully, but at least she is awake."
Father seemed shocked as he turns to Peter, "How long has she been awake."
"I'm not sure Father. She awoke a few minutes after you left."
Catherine smiles at the new comers, "Hello, Father, Peter."
Father replies, "Hello, my dear."
"Hi Catherine." Replies Peter with a smile.
"I am glad to be here, and to see this little one. Thank you for your help." answers Catherine.
"You're welcome, dear. We were able to get her out without damaging you or doing a c-section."
Peter says, "You're welcome. I am glad to see you up."
Catherine smiles, "I am glad. She is beautiful."
"Yes she is."
A couple of day's later, Catherine is holding the baby, with Vincent in
there with her. As Peter hands Catherine the baby, Catherine says, "How is she doing Peter?"
Vincent stands closely behind her awaiting Peter's answer. He is so glad that Catherine has recovered so well and seems fine now and the baby seems well, all they need is confirmation from Peter.
"Her lungs are progressing beautifully, she is growing. Still has some
growing to do on both accounts. But it looks promising."
Vincent still nervous, about losing either Catherine, or the baby, "So, are you sure now that she will survive?"
"Yeah, she will survive."
"That's so great! Now both my girls are fine!"
Peter gives the baby to Catherine, "You are both doing well."
"I think it's time to plan the naming ceremony, what do you think,
Catherine?"
Catherine doesn't look right to Vincent, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah...still....week...." Catherine takes one last look at Vincent,
whispers, as loud as she can, "Vin....cent." and she crumples to the floor.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Oh, no. Not again. She barely made it through the first one, what will happen to her this time? Wait and find out in the next chapter.
