Chapter Six

At the Hospital

Peter was pacing around the hospital worried as to what was happening in Emma's room. He hoped she was ok, that their daughter was ok. A nurse stepped out of Emma's room to talk to Peter.

"Is she ok? Is the baby ok? What's wrong?" Peter asked nervously.

"Emma's ok. She went into premature labor. At six months this isn't good for her or the baby. We're trying to stop her labor but it isn't working yet. If the baby is born now, it won't be able to breath on its own, and it won't weigh more then one and a half pounds."

Peter looked at the nurse with a look of sorrow. He was so worried, he couldn't lose Emma or their daughter. "Will the baby survive?" Peter asked scared to what her reply would be.

"There will be a 50/50 chance of her survival. I'm so sorry. You can go see you girlfriend now though." The nurse replied to Peter. Peter nodded and walked into Emma's room. He grimaced when he saw her attached to all of these machines. He looked at her face which was tear stained.

"Hey babe, I'm sorry they didn't let me in here with you. It's going to be ok. I won't let anything happen to you two. I love you Emma." Peter said wiping Emma's tears. He then placed his hand on Emma's stomach. Emma smiled. "I love you too Peter." Peter reached over and kissed her.

An hour later

Emma started to feel an overgrowing sensation of pain in her stomach. "Peter, I think something's wrong." Emma exclaimed placing a hand on her aching stomach. All of a sudden Emma started to scream in pain. Peter had run and gotten a nurse. The nurse ran in and checked Emma. "It seems as though that was a contraction." Peter sighed with relief as did Emma glad that it wasn't something else.

Emma was resting now. She was going to have the baby soon. She was terrified as to what was going to happen. A nice nurse entered their room. "Hi, I'm just going to check how far along you are." The nurse did her thing. "Well you're ready to have this baby. I'll go get the baby and we'll start pushing." Emma nodded nervously.

"Peter, I can't do this. It's too early. I'm supposed to have three more months. It's going to hurt and it'll be really embarrassing for you to watch me when I look like crap." Emma said all in one breath.

"I know it's early and yes it's going to hurt, but you can do this. I know you can. And don't be embarrassed you look so beautiful right now. I know you can do this." Peter reassured Emma really meaning it.

The nurse came in and it was ready for their daughter to make her appearance. "Ok Emma, I'm going to need you to push when I say." The nurse said to a scared Emma.

"Ok push." The nurse and the doctor stated.

Emma grabbed onto Peter's hand with a tight grip. Peter watched as his girlfriend did an amazing thing, give birth to his daughter.

After about an hour of grunting and heavy breathing Elizabeth Sierra Nelson-Stone was born. At 12 inches long and one and a half pounds she was a very small baby. The nurse let Emma hold Elizabeth for about a minute. "Oh my god, Peter's she's gorgeous." Emma looked up at a widely grinning Peter. "Here you hold her now." Emma gently passed her newborn daughter over to Peter. "She is so beautiful. Like her mother. Babe you did great I'm so proud of you." Peter smiled at his girlfriend. "Awww thanks sweetie. She's also great looking cause of you." "Thanks sweetie." Peter smiled at his daughter. He was so proud of Emma for giving his this beautiful girl, who was yet so small. The nurse took Elizabeth from Peter and whisked her off to the NICU. (Newborn intensive care unit)

"Peter, what if she doesn't make it?" Emma asked nervously.

"Emma, it'll be ok, she's our daughter so she'll be strong." Peter replied.

"I know, but I love her so much. Thanks for being her for me, you've been amazing." Emma smiled at Peter and gave him a kiss.

"Thanks for giving me this amazingly gorgeous daughter. You did amazing." Peter smiled at Emma and kissed her as well.
