I'm so glad everyone is enjoying my fanfic, here's another one but it's a heart pumper and you may need tissues! Enjoy! (P.S. This chapter mentions Nurse Sullivan, but in this fanfic Julia isn't a surgeon and never met Miss Hart)

…..

(December 23; The Murdoch Home)

William just left for work and Julia began cleaning up the breakfast dishes and putting them in the automatic dishwasher he made for her because she hates cleaning dishes. Mrs. Kitchen drops off Mary and Julia informs her she is no longer needed until the new year since Julia took 2 weeks off. Julia had an idea to take Mary skating since there was a skating rink in the park near the woods area. Julia informed William about the idea and he said "we'll go on my lunch hour."

It was now 11:15 am and William's lunch hour was from 12-1 today, so Julia decided to get herself and Mary ready.

(Skating Rink 11:55 am, Julia's POV)

I arrived at the skating rink, when I looked down and Mary had fallen asleep which didn't surprise me since Mrs. Kitchen told me she had a rough night due to a tooth coming through, but overall for a 10 month old baby she is exceptional just like her father. She's the image of William, same eyes, nose, hair and skin complexion, but she her hair is curly like me.

I decided to let her sleep and I put the pram locks that William installed, on. I came at such a perfect time, only a man was skating, he asked if I wanted him to leave but I told him "no stay it's ok, my husband will be on his way shortly."

I sat down on the bench, beside the pram and took off my boots and laced up my skates. I looked again to see if Mary was asleep and she was. The man came off the ice and said he needed a break and that he would watch Mary.

"Thank you, that is so kind of you."

"is she yours?" he asks

"yes, her name is Mary after her grandmother."

"she has your forehead."

"yes, but the rest is all her daddy's"

"how old?"

"just turned 10 months old, was born on Valentine's Day"

"she's beautiful."

"yes, she is. I'm Julia Ogden."

"Fred Thomasman"

"nice to meet you. Well my husband should be arriving at any time now, so I'll just skate for a bit."

"I'll be right here, watching her."

"thank you, again Mr. Thomasman"

"call me, Fred, Mr. Thomasman is my father"

"thank you, Fred"

I began skating for a bit and kept wondering what was keeping William and then I heard a crack and it was just a branch falling from a tree. I started skating some more when I heard another crack and before I knew it I fell through the ice and hit my head against the edge of the hole then it went black and I felt peaceful.

(Skating Rink 12:15 pm, William's POV)

I invited the Inspector and George to come along to the skating and they agreed it would be a fun outing. We were just heading to the rink when we hearing shouting.

"HELP! HELP!"

We run to the person shouting. I keep running when I saw a man holding onto Mary trying to calm her down.

"HELP!"

I run up to the man, "what's going on and why are you holding my baby?" I say and try to calm down Mary.

"ARE YOU JULIA OGDEN'S HUSBAND?" he said with a panic voice

"yes I am, Detective William Murdoch and who are you?" I said with a calm but confused voice

"I AM FRED THOMASMAN! I WAS HERE SKATING WHEN YOUR WIFE CAME WITH THE BABY AND I TOLD HER I WOULD WATCH HER, WHILE JULIA SKATED AND WE HEARD A CRACK AND I CAN'T SWIM, AND COULDN'T LEA…"

"WHERE'S JULIA?!" I Shouted

He pointed and I saw a hole in the ice and my heart dropped to my stomach and I immediately began running on the ice while throwing off my hat, coat, jacket, scarf and gloves and screaming her name and immediately jumped into the icy water.

"Mr. Thomasman, why didn't you get help?" asked the Inspector

"I couldn't leave little Mary and I can't swim and no one was around." He says with a panic voice

"give her to me, we are her godfathers."

"I'll help detective, sir." Says George and he begins removing his clothing and running onto the ice

"good, Crabtree. How long has she been under water for?"

"I don't know 10-15 minutes"

"WHAT!"

Then with a gasp, William popped up with Julia laying against his shoulder. with no movement and her face pale as ever.

(William's POV)

When I jumped it the cold water was a complete shock and it felt like someone was stabbing me with knives all over my body, but that wasn't the case right now as I needed to save Julia. I looked around and saw her she was pale and definitely not breathing. I grabbed her and brought her up to the surface with me.

"Sir?" said George

"Take her George"

He takes her for me and I get out of the hole and I tell the Inspector to put Mary in the pram, don't want her to see this. I lifted Julia bridal style and walked to the ground, by the bench where George put down his and mine coat and I placed her on them. I noticed her head was bleeding, and grabbed one of my handkerchiefs and told George to apply pressure to the wound, which he did. I then opened Julia's coat, vest and ripped open her shirt.

"Murdoch?! George and I are present!"

"I need better access to apply pressure when doing mouth to mouth resuscitation!" I shouted at him

I did everything Julia taught me, tilt head, chin up, check for breathing, plug nose, and give her 2 slow breaths in the mouth, then apply chest compressions. I kept doing this for 5 minutes but it felt more like an hour and I just kept praying that she would open her eyes and wake up.

"Come On! Come On! Julia, breathe!"

I began praying that God can't take her from me; not now, and not like this. I leaned down and whispered into her ear, I could feel the coldness of her skin on my lips.

"Please, Julia! Wake up! Please, Wake up!

I kept doing more mouth to mouth and compressions on her when I said "Please, Don't Leave Me! Not Now!" and I then I began realizing I was crying. At first I thought it was just water dripping from my head but don't they were salty. I then looked up to the sky and shouted "Don't Take Her! I Beg Of You"

"MURDOCH! Get A Hold Of Yourself!" Brackenreid says as he grabs me and I didn't think but pushed him to the ground.

"I'm sorry, sir, but she…"

Brackenreid touched my shoulder "it's alright; you done all you can Murdoch..."

"No!" I say and shove him away and blow 2 long deep breaths into her mouth and was about to do more chest compressions when she final took a breath and spit up the water. I lifted her up and begin praying and thanking God for not taking her.

"Will…" she said with that beautiful voice

"yes, I'm here. You'll be alright"

"Ma…"

"Mary is here too."

I put George and mine's coat around her and began warming up her body and kept on praying, and thanking God that she is alright.

"sir" George says as he pointed looks like the ambulance is here

"who called?"

"I did" said Fred

"thank you, Fred." I nodded to him and said "thank you."

We got Julia into the ambulance and I told George and the Inspector I was going with them. The Inspector was going to take Mary to his house, since William remembered they given Mrs. Kitchen the rest of the year off. George was going along with the Inspector and they would meet us at the hospital later.

(Hospital, William's POV)

We entered into the hospital and I saw a familiar face Nurse Sullivan who has been working alongside Julia at the University. The paramedics inform her and the doctor of what happened and I wasn't really paying attention to what they said, but all I could hear is the word baby. I thought I was imagining it or another doctor said something to another patient while we were walking down the hallway. But then I heard the word again and so I spoke out.

"what baby?"

Nurse Sullivan just stared at me with her mouth open and didn't say a word. They push Julia into a room and Sullivan said she would be out in a second and explain what she meant. It felt like ages but then I saw George and the Inspector coming down the hallway. I asked how Mary was and the Inspector ensured me she was fine and asked me any news and I mentioned I heard the word baby, but waiting for the nurse to come back out. Then I heard Nurse Sullivan come out of Julia's room and I asked her how she was and she said I definitely saved her life with the mouth to mouth, chest compressions and putting pressure on her head wound.

I then asked her again, "I heard the word baby. Is or was she?" I asked with tears in my tears but with a panic voice.

"you didn't hear wrong, Julia is indeed with child, 3 months now, but she didn't know."

"how did she not know? But then again she had been sick on and off these last 2 and half months."

"she came in for a check-up last week and got bloodwork done but the results just came in today at noon, we called the house but well you know…"

"she fell through the ice. But did she lose the baby?"

"usually pregnant woman who get into accidents tend to lose their baby, but no your wife is still with child."

"Thank God. But don't mention that I know I want to surprise her with something."

"no problem. You may go and see her."

I entered into the room and see her sleeping so peacefully, she looked like a princess. No more than that, she looked like a queen, my queen. I took her hand and she woke up and I smiled at her and told her she will be fine. I also thanked her for teaching me mouth to mouth when we first got married. She wondered about Mary but I told her she was alright and with Mrs. Brackenreid. On doctors' orders, Julia had to stay in the hospital for the night for observations, but I promised I would stay with her and not leave her side.

(6:30 pm)

"how's the doctor, George?" asked Henry

"she will be alright. But I have never seen the detective so angry in all the years we have worked together."

"good thing the detective knew that mouth to chest compression thing."

"Henry, it's mouth to mouth and chest compressions and yes a good thing."

(6:30 pm, Brackenreid House)

"will she be alright, Thomas?"

"yes, Margaret the doctor thought it would just for the best to keep her overnight and Murdoch wanted to stay with her and they gave Mrs. Kitchen an early holiday."

How will Julia take to the pregnancy news? To be continued…
