I won't hurt you. You'll never dream alone -Ashlee Simpson, Never Dream Alone
Date: 10-3-2018-Collin's original due date
Emily's thoughts: Bleeding uncontrollably in the wee hours of the morning, a labor of love. My breakthrough, a critical turning point, a door into the wonderful great unknown.
Time Period: A dream and possible reality-The actual birth
Scene: A Delivery Room
The doctor (checking Emily): You are fully dilated
Emily (more excited instead of afraid): Finally!
A nurse (timing the contractions): You are having contractions. You can start pushing now.
(Within two pushes, Emily aka Emma gives birth to Collin. Collin is a perfectly healthy full-term baby. Emily and Killian are over the moon about him.)
Time Period: The Present Reality
Date 4-10-2018
Emily's p.o.v
Visibly distraught, Rogers enters my hospital room. "The hospital called me. They said you were
experiencing premature labor" Rogers recalls. With Rogers' permission, I have made him to be my
emergency contact person. This is because I don't have any family or friends that live in Hyperion
Heights. "I am indeed in labor. I am just sixteen weeks along. Collin's original due date is October
Third. If born right now, he might not survive" crying, I fear. Rogers holds me close and helps
me through the next wave of painful contractions. He also provides comfort for my son Killian.
Killian has grown quite fond of him. With Rogers and Killian by my side, I give birth to Collin. The
NICU becomes his second temporary home.
