Review of Last Chapter:
It felt like the blissful moments in between each contraction started and ended too quickly.
She let out another small scream, this was horrible. But, she'd go through it, she wanted a baby more than anything. She and Sam wanted Sadie.
"Alright, she's at about 8 and a half centimeters. Jules. 2 contractions from now, we want you to start pushing." The EMT said.
Jules let out a nervous breath, but nodded. "Okay."
The EMT, his name tag said Jo, looked to the other, "Afterwards, we're going to need to work fast and give her a diluent to dilute the Pitocin. They gave her an overdose."

Jules P.O.V
She closed her eyes, and lay her head back against the floor. The next contraction hit her, but she refused to cry out this time, but afterwards her vision began to swim slightly.
"Jules." Sam said, noticing it quickly.
"Hey, look at me. Stay awake, stay looking at me." He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You can do this. You're the strongest woman I know."
His words inspired her, and she opened her eyes a little more,
"Alright Jules on the count of three, I want you to push as hard as you can, alright?"
She nodded, "Okay." She whispered.
"Are you the father?" The other EMT asked, Sam nodded.
"We'll need you to hold her leg here."
"Got it." Sam said, and Jules noticed he looked paler than usual.
"Here we go." The EMT said.
This was going to be hell.
The next contraction took the breath out of her, but she did as the doctor said, and pushed with all her might.
She smothered a scream.
"You're doing good, you're doing good." The EMT said. "On the count of three! 1-2-3!"
This time she couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. Sam rubbed soothing circles into her hand, and his other hand held her leg close to her body.
"I can see the head! 2 more Jules. You're almost there!" The EMT said, she nodded, becoming slightly light headed, but did a he said. 2 contractions later, and the pain eased, and she heard that Sadie had been born. But she didn't hear a thing.

Sam P.O.V
Sam couldn't get his head around the fact that Sadie was coming prematurely. But yet, here he was going through the motions and trying his best to stay composed although Jules was going through unnecessary pain and the risks of having a child outside of medical assistance except for the paramedics. The worst part was probably Jules's pain and the having to hold her down occasionally.
He held her hand and did everything he was able to do in assisting them and keeping Jules relaxed.
When Sadie was actually brought into the world though, there was only silence that met them. Sam looked over to her, her lips were tinged slightly blue, and she was pale.
He wanted to do something to say something, but he could feel Jules's eyes on him, so he turned back and met her gaze.
"Sam?" She murmured in her daze.
"Ssshhh." He coaxed, "She'll be alright."
Jo the EMT met Sam's eyes, and he had a needle in his hand, Sam nodded slightly.
"This should reduce the effects of the Pitocin, but we need to get her to the hospital now." He said, then pressed the needle through.
Sam gripped her hand tightly as she faded out of consciousness.
Sam P.O.V
They rushed Jules into the ambulance, and allowed Sam to come with them. He sat back obediently and let them watch over Jules's vitals, while the other tended to Sadie. Once or twice Jules's vitals dropped enough to put them all on edge, as her body attempted to fight off the Pitocin and the unexpected pregnancy. And Sadie…Sadie couldn't breathe on her own, she had blankets kept around her to even out her body temperature, and a feeding tube. They had another tube in her, and the EMT was controlling her breathing. His heart was drowning in fear, and fury for the people who had done this to his family.
The EMT –Jo- must have noticed his distress,
"They'll be alright, you know. And, I don't say that when I don't know. Your wife here…she's a fighter, I can tell easily. Your daughter, she's got two kick ass parents, something tells me she knows how to kick ass too. They'll get through this." Sam met his eyes thankfully and Jo seemed to ponder something but only for a second then he met Sam's eyes, "I promise. I'll do absolutely everything I can."
"Thank you." Sam said, and the EMT nodded, before turning back to the machines hooked to Jules to keep record.
Sam was deep in thought, and jumped when he heard a high pitched wail, then crying. He was confused for a moment as the shock struck him, and although Sadie had never cried before, he'd recognize that cry anywhere, Jules's hand twitched in his. He looked over to Sadie.
"Mike." Jo said, and Mike nodded,
"W-what're you doing?" Sam asked, as Mike pulled out a needle.
"She can't breathe, eat or regulate her body temperature on her own, we need to keep her under and relaxed to keep the stress levels down. It will be safer for her." He said, Sam nodded reluctantly, and watched as his daughter slipped into the –hopefully- peaceful darkness again.
