A/N: After all the reviews I just wanted to first say Thank you b/c this is more my daughter's story than anything. Second, yes this did happen to me. The phone call between Catherine and Sara really did happen between me and my mom.

Sara didn't even get a chance to see her daughter. Before she could say anything they had rushed her away. Once in recovery they told her that Bethany was 2 pounds and 3 oz. and 14" long.

Nick came into recovery. "She is so tiny." As he handed her a picture in the picture Bethany was hooked up to all kinds of machines and Nick was holding up her arm.

"Is that your wedding ring?" Sara asked in shock. Sure enough there was Nick's wedding ring going all the way down to her elbow.

"Yeah"

Sara just stared at it. That is my baby. Sara started to cry. Everything had finally hit her. The NICU doctor came in.

"Hello, Mrs. Stokes, I've been taking care of little Miss Bethany for you. I just wanted you to know that everything looks fine."

"What about her lungs?" that was Sara's biggest fear. Asthma ran in her family and she was afraid of what would happen if her lungs were not developed.

"They are one week away from being completely developed. Now since it is a few days before Labor Day weekend I'm going to have her transferred to a hospital downtown. We will be on a skeleton crew and I would feel much better if she was somewhere fully staffed."

"Whatever you think is best doctor." Sara said

Sara really didn't remember much after that. The drugs they were given her were awesome. The next thing she knew she was in her room with all her friends and Nick's family.

She did find out later that she had been counting the lights on the way and was jumping all over the place. Plus she cussed Nick out when he ran the bed into a door.

They brought Bethany in to let Sara see her before they moved her downtown. The nurse was explaining what was going on and what would happen. Sara really didn't pay attention, that was Nick's job, and if not Catherine would fill her in.

"Can I touch her?" Sara asked while the nurse was talking.

"Sure." The nurse said with a smile.

She lifted the side and Sara gently put her hand in and rubbed Bethany's arm.

They finally left and Sara passed out.

Friday

(A/N: My husband actually had to work the day after Bethany was born, but for the story Nick isn't. My parents were the first to see Bethany and bring back pictures, but for this story again it will be Nick.)

Sara was in and out of it all day. She would be talking to people on the phone telling them about Bethany or whatever else came to her mind and then she would just zone out. There were a bunch of times she would apologize for it and continue to talk.

Nick showed up after lunch with some more pictures of Bethany. She was on a respirator and had all kinds of machines hooked up to her. Sara stared at the picture for hours.

Saturday

Sara was taken off the medicine and was feeling like her old self. Mainly she wanted out. Later that afternoon, with Nick setting next to her the doctor came in.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stokes."

"Can I leave now?"

"Well, that depends."

"On what?" Sara asked. She would do anything to get out of there to go be with her baby.

"What are you going to do when you get out?" the doctor asked with a knowing look.

"Go see my baby." Sara said with a "Duh" look on her face.

"And how long are you going to be up there?"

"I don't know."

"If you promise to make it for only a couple hours I'll let you out."

"She promises." Said Nick from across the room.

"Okay" the doctor said with a smile.

After going home and taking a shower with a lot of help from Nick. Her, Nick, Catherine, and Warrick were on their way to see the newest Stokes.

A/N: I have to write another chapter to my other story so I'm going to have to stop here for now. I'll add the next chapter tomorrow when I get home from work. And as always please review. 
