I noticed in the previous chapter not everything was showing. So, I tried to fix it. I guess my WordPerfect decided it didn't like me anymore, and messed with pretty much all of my chapters for this fanfic.I figured out how to fix it. BUT, a small chunk mysteriously disappeared. The chunk was when Emma goes into labor. No biggie. But still! Ugh. I'm not re-writing that. She had a baby, the doctor was about to say what it was, and I ended. So, I'm just going to continue from there. Sigh Expect some spelling erros. Wordpad doesn't have spellcheck. So, deal. I'm not that great of a speller. I stop paying attention to it, and get into the story. kicks wordperfect I'm mad. So, Emma had the baby August 27, 2007. I'm most likely ending the story with either this chapter or the next. I'm tired of it. It's boring me. I'm going to try to write another one soon. You are all probably going to kill me for this chapter...But I'm sorry! Forgive me.

Emma's hospital room

"You have a beautiful baby girl!" The doctor looked up at Emma and then to Jay.

"Lilly...Lilly Em Hogart," Emma could barely speak. She was so drained.

Jay looked at her, "That's perfect Emma." Jay kissed her forehead.

A nurse walked over to the doctor, "Dr. Edsell! The baby's heart rate is dropping!"

Everything became a blur to Emma. She could hear Jay screaming and more people come in. What was happening to her baby?

XXXX

"What's going on in there?" Manny paced the waiting room.

"Manny, come on. Sit down." Craig watched his wife. She walked over to him and sat down.

"Manny, everything's fine. Jay will be out any second to tell us that it's a healthy boy." Ellie sat across from Craig and Manny with Sean.

They watched as the door to the room Emma was in slowly opened. They saw that it was Jay. He has tears pouring out of his eyes.

They all jumped up, even the very pregnant Ellie. They all spoke at once, "Jay, what's wrong?"

"Lilly...Her...Her heart wasn't strong enough." Jay fell to the floor.

Sean started to speak, "Who's Lil...Oh..."

Manny sat down next to Jay, crying also. Craig put a hang on Jay's shoulder, "Jay, what happened? Please tell us."

Jay lifted his head and stared. He started to talk, "It was a girl. Emma named her, Lilly Em Hogart. Then the nurse said...said that her heart rate was dropping."

Just as Jay finished, a doctor came out, "Mr. Hogart? I need to speak with you. Alone."

Sean looked at the doctor, "No. Whatever you have to say, you can say infront of us."

"Fine. Your daughter is in critical condition. I don't know how we never noticed the deformity growing on her heart during the ultra sounds. It's a tumor. Because of how small, and young she is, she might not survive. I'm sorry." The doctor didn't show any sign of caring. He just walked away.

2 Weeks Later

Lilly had an operation to remove the tumor. The doctors said they weren't sure what would happen to her.

Jay was sitting next to the incubator, talking to Lilly and holding Alex.

"Hey, Lil. This is your brother Alex. His mommy isn't your mommy though. And I'm not really his daddy. Well, I am. Just, not in the way that I'm yours. He wants you to make it. You have to. Your mommy wants to hold you. She's too weak to come down and see you, but she's resting so that she will be able to soon."

Jay wiped tears from his eyes. He hated seeing Lilly laying there, "You have to come home soon and see your room. Your aunts and uncles re-did it. Now it's very girly and princess-y. There is a lot of people waiting to meet you, Lil. They come to see you as much as they can. Your Auntie Ellie is going to be having a baby soon. She really isn't your aunt, but we say she is. Along with your Auntie Manny. Auntie Manny is married to Uncle Craig. Auntie Ellie is married to Uncle Sean. Uncle Sean and I go way back. So do your Auntie Manny and Mommy. Mommy and Uncle Craig met each other a long time ago."

Jay heard someone walk in, he looked over and saw it was Emma.

"Hey, Em. We were just talking about you." Jay tried to smile.

Emma just stood there. She didn't know what to do. She slowly walked over to Jay, Alex and Lilly, "Hey, guys." Emma reached for Alex. Jay handed him to her.

"Hey cutie. Are you telling Lilly that she needs to be okay?" Emma kissed Alex on the forehead.

Jay and Emma sat next to Lilly's incubator and Alex had fallen asleep in Emma's arm. He was not sleeping in his carseat. Emma and Jay's eyes were glued to Lilly.

"Em, she's gonna be ok. She has to be. She's strong just like you. The doctors said she wouldn't even last a day. It's been 2 weeks! She's going to make it."

Right when Jay finished Lilly kicked her feet. It was the only movement she had made since she was born.

Emma jumped up, "Come on Lilly. Do it agian."

Lilly opened her eyes, and started to cry. A nurse walked over.

"Well, it looks like Ms. Hogart wants to be held. Mommy?" The nurst opened the incubator and let Emma pick up Lilly.

"Hey, baby. Look at you. You look just like your Daddy." Jay stood up, then leaned over to pick up Alex from his car seat.

"Look, Alex. Your sister is awake."

Manny, Craig, Ellie and Sean all walked in. Craig had his camera with him.

"Guys, don't move OK?" Craig quickly took their picture, "That's going to be a nice one guys."

"How's she doing?" Manny asked walking over next to Emma.

"Not sure. But she's able to be held. So, that must be a good thing right?"

Sorry, ending this chapter here. I'll try to post more soon. Not sure what's going to happen to Lilly.
