Chapter 52

Vincent ran down the hospital hall and into the nurses station until he saw Sean standing there.

"SEAN!" he yelled running to him and catching his breath, "Where's Laura?"

"In labor. She's in there with Donna and Maxine."

"I'm going in," Vincent said.

"I don't think that they'll allow you."

"I don't care," Vincent said walking into the emergency room.

"Just push," one of the nurses said.

"Laura," Vincent exclaimed.

"Vincent," Laura said while still in pain.

"I came as soon as I could. Is it possible that you can deliver this early?"

"Apparently," she said as Vincent came up to her and held her hand.

"It hurts," she said.

"Don't think about that. Just concentrate on the good side of all of this. You're going to be a mother."

"Yeah. Ow!" Laura yelled.

"One more!" someone yelled.

"It's out."

Laura fell back with Vincent cradling her until she noticed something, "Why isn't my baby crying?"

"Dr. McCartney? Dr. Redigar?" A nurse yelled.

"It's not breathing," Lily said.

"What? Laura asked, "What do you mean it's not breathing? Vincent where's my baby?" she said with tears.

"What's going on?" Vincent asked concerned.

"It's heart is failing."

"No. No, it can't-it just can't," Laura whispered.

"Quick, we need surgery."

"No, my baby. Vincent it can't die!"

"It won't. Shh…everything will be okay."

"Vincent…" Laura cried out in pain.

"Suddenly a whole medical team walked in and all came towards the table the baby was suppose to be on.

"I want to see my baby!" Laura yelled.

Kyle then came and said, "Shh…it'll be alright."

"What's going on?"

"The baby's heart is failing."

"No…"

"We've stabilized it but its heart is weak."

"Is it boy or a girl?" Laura asked.

"Boy, " Kyle said as he said.

"Kyle," Lily called out as he followed and Vincent and Laura watched them whisper to one another.

"What's going on?" Laura asked Vincent.

"I don't know. But you have a son."

Laura gave a weak smile until Kyle came back.

"Kyle?" Vincent asked certain that something wasn't okay.

"I'm so sorry. You're baby is on life support. It's heart is overly weak. Surgery can't help it since it is partly premature. He doesn't have much time to live."
