Chapter 1 – Save Her

"Come on, Patty, push! You can do it! Come on!", Dr. Miles said as he tries to put pressure down Patty's belly.

"I can't! Aahh!", Patty screamed, breathing heavily, beads of sweat in her forehead and neck.

"Yes you can, Come on, just one more.", said Dr. Miles.

Patty pushed with all her might and all the strength left in her. As she felt the baby's body get out of hers, she felt relief. But as soon as she looked over to the doctor, she knew something was wrong. "What is it? What's wrong?"

And when she focused her attention to the baby with nurses trying to revive it with CPR, she panicked.

"What's happening to her?! Would somebody tell me what's going on? How's my baby?!", Patty cried, so many scary thoughts and questions running through her head. 'Oh my God, she's dead... my babies dead.', Patty thought.

She tries to stand and get off the bed to see her baby. No one can stop her, she has to see her baby, her baby girl, she has to.

"No, Patty, calm down. Just calm down. We're gonna take care of her, just please relax. You're still exhausted.", as Dr. Miles tried to reassure Patty. "Please save my baby, please! Tell me you will save her, tell me." Patty said feeling helpless watching as the nurses try to revive her daughter.

"I will, I will, I promise", then the doctor turns to a nurse and orders him to give Patty a shot of tranquilizer and Patty starts to fall asleep. Then the doctor rushed to the baby's aid, and replaced the nurse to do the CPR herself.

"Come on, angel dear. You just got in here." As Dr. Miles said to the newborn.

Then like a miracle, after what seems a lifetime of praying and hoping, the machine showed the baby's first heartbeat outside the womb, and the baby taking a shot at it's first cry. Relief and smiles overcame the faces of all the people in the room.

Outside the labor room...

"Grams, what's taking so long?", the 3 year old cute little girl clutching her stuff bear, asked her grandmother as she tries to open her tired eyes fighting sleep.

"Prue, bringing children in this world does take long. Why don't you just sleep, honey, and I'll wake you by the time you can see the baby sister.", as Penny soothes her granddaughter.

"I'm not sleepy.", said Prue stubbornly followed by a large yawn.

"Yes, you are now come on-" Grams was interrupted by Dr. Miles opening the door of the labor room.

"Mrs. Halliwell." Dr. Miles called.

"Yes doctor, how's my daughter?", Grams asked. "How's my baby sister?" Prue trying to join in the conversation.

"Prue." Grams said sternly.

"Sorry." Prue apologized looking down on the floor, hugging her bear tighter.

"Uhmm... Patty's doing fine. My main concern now is the baby.", Dr. Miles said.

At the mention of the baby Prue looked up automatically at the two adults.

"Why... what... how is she? Is she...?", Grams asked not wanting to know the answer.

"She's not dead. We have revived her. Apparently, the baby's heart was not functioning when we delivered her. We're still running the tests to figure out what caused it. Let's just hope it's not something big and serious.", as Dr. Miles try to reassure Penny of the situation. Then a tug in his coat caught her attention and looked down on Prue. Dr. Miles stooped down to level with Prue's innocent teary eyes.

"Piper will be fine, right? She won't die?", asked Prue as she tries to wipe away her tears.

"So you're sister's name is Piper. What about this little guy here, what's his name?" Dr. Miles asked referring to the bear Prue clutches.

"Coppy." Prue sniffs.

"Coppy, ok. So how about I promise you that I will take care of Piper, and you promise me to introduce her to Coppy here. What do you say?" Dr. Miles offered.

"OK, I promised.", Prue smiled.

Grams smiled at how her granddaughter can be such a charmer.

Then Dr. Miles stands straight and turned her attention to Penny.

"We will do everything we can. You can see Patty in about 15 mins. A nurse will show you to her room. Excuse me.", Dr. Miles told Grams.

"Thank you." Grams said as Dr. Miles leaves.

As Grams entered her daughter's hospital room, she immediately saw how distraught she is and rushed in to comfort her.

"Mom, where's my baby? How is she? Did they tell you what wrong with her?", Patty asked as she saw her mother.

"Honey, the doctors are doing everything they can for her. Don't worry too much. You're still exhausted from the labor. She will be fine." Grams assured. Then Prue, after being quiet since they entered the room, held her mother's hand and spoke, "Don't worry mommy, the doctor promised me she will take care of Piper. And I will too." Then she kissed her mother's hand.

Patty, moved by this, smiles and tells her eldest, "I know you will, baby and I'm very proud of you." As she takes her Prue and Grams helped her put Prue in bed with her mother.

"I'm not a baby anymore. Piper is." Prue complained. Grams and Patty laughed at this. "You will always be my baby along with your sister." The smile slowly faded as Patty remembers her newborn, "Let's just hope and pray she would stay with us." Patty sighed with so much worry in her eyes.

As if on cue, Dr. Miles entered the room, looking exhausted. Obviously, she do not know how to tell these people the case of their loved one. Patty, seeing the doctor's face immediately panicked.

"What is it?... Tell me!" Patty yelled. Prue, scared of her mother's outburst, tightened her hold of Coppy.

"Sweetie, calm down. Let her talk." Grams said.

"Your baby...uhhmm... we found out what's wrong with her. Apparently there is a hole in the left side of her heart, it's affecting the supposed to be normal circulation of the blood. So Piper has a so-called congenital heart."

Patty, shocked with tears threatening to fall from her eyes, just put her hand to cover her mouth.

The doctor continued. "But we are preparing her for an operation to at least try and help her breathe easier. We just need a confirmation from you to do it. It's important that we do it quickly... I'm sorry." Dr. Miles feels so close to this family that it affects her so much.

Then, a small voice alerted them all, "You said she won't die. You promised!" Prue cried with tears streaming down her cheeks. Dr. Miles feeling sorry for the little girl, rushed to her and held both of her hands and said, "Oh honey, I did. And I'm not going to break that promise. Ok ? I won't. I won't let anything happen to your sister."

"I will let you do the operation, anything to save my daughter." Patty said, showing bravery and hope for her eldest daughter.

"Ok. We will do everything. The operation may take 4-5 hrs. You should all rest. By the time you wake up. You can see her." Then the doctor leaves the worried family in the room.
