A/N: Sorry about my lack of writing skills right now...my brain is on overload. Well, here is chapter 16. Please keep the reviews coming!
Wolfwood walked back into the hospital and to the elevators, pushing the button and shivering due to the air hitting his soaking wet body. The doors to the elevator opened and he pushed the button for the seventh floor, leaning against the wall and waiting for the 'ding' to signal his arrival. The doors opened once again and Wolfwood stepped out into the empty corridor, only to be knocked down by a frantic Damon.
"I'm sorry Nick," began Damon, "but there is an emergency."
"What the hell happened?" asked Wolfwood, beads of sweat pouring down his face along with the rain water that dripped from his long black bangs.
"Obviously Veronica wasn't just pregnant with one baby."
"What the...they didn't detect the second baby?"
"Obviously not, but now she and the baby are in distress and we have to get back to her."
"Let's go."
Wolfwood and Damon rushed down the corridor to Veronica's room and rushed in, witnessing in horror the events that were happening around them and Veronica. Heart rate monitors were beeping like mad, oxygen was being given to Veronica, and a team of doctors and nurses rushing around preparing for an emergency delivery.
Damon rushed forward to Veronica's side and grabbed her hand, Wolfwood following suit. Doctor Hieson whipped around from one of the counters that lined the walls of the large room, sitting on his stool at the foot of the bed and preparing Veronica for birth.
"Veronica, I know that you are in pain and distress, but so is the baby and you have to push to get him out," said Doctor Hieson, beads of sweat pouring down his face.
Veronica closed her eyes and pushed with every last bit of strength she had left in her from the first birth, screaming through the oxygen mask and squeezing the hands of her husband and father tighter than ever, nearly cutting of their circulation. Wolfwood brushed the loose strands of hair out of Veronica's hair and bent down to where his mouth was level with her ear.
"Veronica," he whispered, "its okay. I'm here with you. Daddy's here." Veronica opened her eyes and smiled briefly, resuming her screams of pain and distress.
Wolfwood looked over and the scared and anxious Damon squeezing Veronica's hand, noting the beads of sweat running down his cheeks. He glanced over at Doctor Hieson, who portrayed the same image as Damon, but his expression was not one that would give a person a good feeling inside.
Let her make it through, Lord.
"One more push and you're home free Veronica," yelled Doctor Hieson. "PUSH!"
Veronica pushed one last time with the little energy she had left, giving birth to her second child. Doctor Hieson removed the baby from Veronica, cutting the umbilical cord and wrapping it in a blanket. He became ominously silent.
Veronica breathed in slowly and stared at the circle of nurses and doctors huddled around what she assumed was her newborn child.
"Where is my baby?" she whispered. "Why isn't it crying?" Damon broke into a cold sweat; Wolfwood's heart stopped beating.
"Where is my baby?!" screamed Veronica. Doctor Hieson turned and faced Veronica, a grim expression upon his face.
"Doctor Hieson," cried Veronica, "where is my baby and why isn't it crying?"
Doctor Hieson looked at Veronica, removed his glasses, took a deep breath, and sighed.
"Veronica," he whispered, "you're baby..."
"My baby is what?" whimpered Veronica.
"I'm sorry Veronica," he continued, "you're baby is...dead."
A/N: I hope that this chapter redeems me from the previous chapter. Yes, I had tears in my eyes when I wrote this chapter, and I know it's sad, but please review. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far. Will keep posting as often as I can.
