Colors of Love
Chapter Five
In the Black
April 18th. Emma was exactly nine months pregnant.
And she went into labor.
In the middle of English class, Emma started to get severe pains in her stomach.
"Ow." She groaned.
Manny, who sat to her left, looked over and whispered, "You okay?"
Emma shook her head, "No. My stomach really hurts."
"You should probably go to the nurse." Manny suggested.
Emma nodded and stood up, "Ms. Kwan. Can I please go the nurse?"
Ms. Kwan was about to answer when Manny shrieked, "Ew!"
Emma turned around to see that her seat was covered in a wet, gooey substance.
"Oh, my God. I'm going into labor." Emma yelled.
Ms. Kwan called the principal's office and within minutes someone was there to carry Emma out to a car.
Manny went with her but Emma stopped her, "Get Jay."
Manny nodded and ran down the hallway to where she knew Jay had math.
A few minutes later Emma found herself in a hospital bed. Jay walked in, hyperventilating, but smiling all the same.
"Hey." He whispered.
"Hey." She took his hand.
Then the nurse came in, "We need to bring her into the delivery room."
"Can I come?" Jay asked.
"No. For such a young age, girls are not allowed to have anyone in the room with them while giving birth. I'm sorry." The nurse started to push Emma out of the room.
"I'll see you after." Jay said.
Emma nodded, "I love you."
"I love you, too." He waved after her.
Emma gave one last push and her baby was out.
She took a deep breath, looked at her babies face, and leaned her head back, falling into a deep sleep.
Jay came in and squeezed her hand, "I'll see you when you wake up."
He left the room.
And Emma was enveloped in death.
She was in the black.
