"Wait what baby?" Corny asked frantically.
"Water. Broke. Going. Into. Labor." Maybelle said not being able to string words together.
"Okay baby. Let's go." Corny said getting her out the office. The kids spotted them leaving and got worried.
"Hey Belle is everything okay?" Link asked.
"Yeah Momma what's the matter?" Inez asked after Link.
"Her water broke and the baby is two months early, so we have got to go. I will be back after she gives birth and will let you all know if they are taking visitors." Corny responded quickly while Maybelle headed to the car. Everyone nodded in understanding while Corny rushed out of the building.
When they got to the hospital it was about 3 hours before Maybelle was ready to push.
"Maybelle we've done this twice before. We can do it again." Dr.Harris said putting on her gloves. Maybelle nodded, already sweat rolling down her face along with tears.
"Come on baby. You got this." Corny said taking her hand in his and holding it tight. He placed a slight kiss on top of it and smoothed back her hair, also wiping the sweat.
Maybelle pushed her hardest for an hour but the baby wouldn't come.
"Maybelle were going to have to give you a C section. Baby peanut isn't trying to come out." Dr.Harris told her. Maybelle looked at Corny with worry in her eyes along with tears.
"Baby, i'm scared." Maybelle whispered. Not about the C section, but about her baby.
"Baby, you've had a C section before. Why are you scared. Everything will be fine okay?" Corny said reassuring her that everything was going to be fine.
"No. I know. But my baby. It's two months early and it's not trying to come and what if something wrong and-" Maybelle said panicking before Corny kissed her forehead silencing her voice and claiming her. The doctor's wheeled her back to the operating room and Corny called the kids, wanting them to come down to the hospital.
Corny stepped into the room, seeing his soon to be wife laying on the table, about to be cut open. He walked over to her and held her hand while they numbed her body.
The C section was quick and easy, but when they removed the baby there was no cry.
"Why don't I hear a cry Corny what's wrong?" Maybelle asked frantically. Then she heard it. The sound of a loud wail coming from the baby's lungs.
"It's definitely has your pipes." Corny said looking over at it. Maybelle let out a sigh of relief.
"Corny, what is it?" Maybelle asked looking up at him.
"It's a beautiful baby girl that looks just like her mommy." Corny said looking back down at her smoothing her hair once more.
"Can I see her?" Maybelle asked Dr. Harris.
"Well I gotta put you back together first. Your insides are all over the table." Dr.Harris answered jokingly. Corny laughed along with Maybelle.
"Hey while they put you back together i'm going to go see if the kids are here. And I promise I won't hold her until after you." Corny said putting his hands back in his pockets and leaning over to kiss Maybelle on her forehead. She just smiled and drifted to sleep while they stitched her back up.
