I woke to chaos around me. I was laying down and the voice I was trying to focus on was my husband's; Micheal's.

I opened my eyes and looked over at him. He looks releaved and gives me a smile. I try to smile back, but I couldn't. A wave a pain hit me and I closed my eyes tightly. "Maria? I need you to open your eyes if you can hear me, sweetheart!"

I heard the doctor, but I was in far too much pain so I just whimpered and managed, "it hurts," very pathetically.

"I know it does, Maria. We're going to give you something for the pain. Now, please, open your eyes." I did as I was told. "Good. Everythings going to be fine." she reassured me and we stopped, pulling into a room. "You just lay there, try and get comfortable. Dr. Williams will give you something for the pain while I talk with your husband, okay?"

Micheal came over to me before he followed her. He bent down to my level and looked at me, lovingly. "You gave me quite a scare there when you passed out."

"I'll be fine, baby. Don't worry. The baby and I will be fine," I said and stroked his cheek.

He took that hand in his and kissed my palm. "I know you will be. I love you, Maria."

I pulled him to my face and gave him a small kiss. "I love you, too, Micheal. Now go talk to the doctor." I shooed him away.

He left the room, hesitantly. I knew he was really worried about me and it made me love him more. Dr. Williams came over towards my bed. "Now, Maria. I'll be injecting something into your IV and it will make you a little drowsy, okay?"

"Anything to help with the pain," I said as a contraction hit.

I knew exactly when he put it in because the pain started to ease up. I sighed, content now that there was no pain, but a dull throbbing. I closed my eyes, but did not fall asleep.

The door opened and I didn't have to open my eyes to know that Micheal was there. He didn't have to say anything because I could always tell when he was near. He took my hand and kissed the palm. I moved my hand so it was cupping his cheek and he nuzzled against it. "Everything's gonna be fine, Ri. I promise you," he said, his voice sounding tired.

I opened my eyes and they slowly focused on his. "Are you okay, baby? You sound tired; sad, even."

He tried to give me a smile but I knew he was just doing it for show. "I'm fine, sweetheart. I'll be even better when the baby gets here. Our little girl."

"Micheal, what did the doctor say that got you like this? Did she say something bad? Is the baby okay?"

He stood up and smoothed back the hair on my face. "Calm down, baby. Everything's gonna be fine. The doctor was concerned because you are going into labor 2 months early and all premature babies make doctors worry. Nothing is going to happen to you or our baby. I won't let it," he finished in a whisper and I knew he was upset by what the doctor told him.

I pulled his face closer to mine, so he would be forced to look me in the eyes. "Did the doctor say that there's a chance that our baby won't make it. Please tell me the truth," I said, tears swarming in my eyes.

He pulled back and started to pace. "What the hell does she know, anyways! There's a chance it could rain today, but it didn't! I can't believe she told me theres a 'chance' our baby could die! Theres a chance for EVERYTHING BUT THAT!" he finished in a scream before breaking down in sobs.

He moved over to me and we both held on to each other tightly, afraid that if we let go, we'd never get to do it again. My baby's life was in danger, and I had never been more scared in my entire life.

What were we suppose to do besides pray that our little girl would make it?

Review! You know you wanna!
