Okay, so I got a request for something bad to happen, so I guess I will make the baby come early and have both her and Cecilia have to stay in the hospital. Thanks heavennoseven!

I really don't want something bad to happen... sorry it has taken awhile to update, but I've been kind of busy.

Chapter 5: Concerns and A Baby

Three months later

Cecilia was sitting on the couch next to Simon, rubbing her stomach. She was 7 months pregnant now, and she was very anxious for the baby to come. Simon looked down at her and smiled.

She smiled back, but stopped short when she felt a sharp pain shoot through her lower back. "Ouch," she said.

"What's wrong?" Simon asked, beginning to panic.

"I... I think the baby's coming," she said quietly.

"Right now? You're not far enough."

"I know, but... it hurts."

"Okay... don't panic. We'll just... go to the hospital and see what's wrong."

By the time they had gotten to the nearest hospital, her water had broken, and she was feeling slightly intense pains.

"Simon, hurry. She isn't waiting." After a long pause, she said, "We're gonna make it, right?"

"We're here, Cecilia. Come on, let's check you in."

As they walked into her room, she felt a lump in her throat. Tears formed in her eyes. It wasn't supposed to be this way. It was way too early for her to be having a healthy baby. Simon squeezed her hand gently. He knew what she was thinking.

"You're gonna be okay, Cec. So is the baby."

"I hope you're right," she replied.

Three hours passed before her contractions picked up speed and Dr. Foster came in to check on her. He was a little bit concerned about Cecilia going into labor two months early, but he thought that if they stayed in the hospital for a few days that they would be fine.

After Dr. Foster left, Simon kissed Cecilia's forehead. "You alright, Cec?"

Cecilia tried to nod, but a contraction took over her fragile body. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "It hurts so bad, Simon."

"I know, Cecilia. It's gonna be okay, I promise. You're doing great, Sweetheart."

Six hours later, Dr. Foster came in to check on her. "Well, Cecilia, you're fully dilated. Are you ready to push, darlin'?"

"Is it gonna hurt?" she asked.

"Well..."

"I guess I have to, right?"

"Yes. Okay, Cecilia, when you feel a contraction, push."

As she pushed, she felt a mix of pain and relief. Tears formed in her eyes. She felt the baby's head and gave in to temptation. She kept pushing until Dr. Foster said, "Her head is out, Cecilia. One more and you'll be a mom."

She pushed again and soon she heard the tiny cries of a baby. Her baby. She began to cry. She was a mom now. Everything she had dreamed about had become a reality... sooner than she had planned, but still... Her thoughts were interrupted by Dr. Foster's concerned voice.

"Tina," he said to the nurse. "The baby isn't breathing normally; I need you to take her to ICU."

Sorry for the short chapter, but I'm not sure what to put next... I'll think of something...please help by giving me some suggestions. Thanks!
