Tori and I are as strong as ever. We've been together for a little over eight months and engaged for three months. Tori is 28 weeks pregnant with our first child, and roughly a month ago, we learned the sex of the baby. We're having a girl. Tori and I are going to name her Alexandra Victoria West. Tori decided that she's going to take my name when we get married. School started a little over a month ago. Tori and I have three classes together. Science, math, and advanced acting skills. Sikowitz has us preparing for a new play, Romeo and Juliet. Tori is Juliet and Andre is Romeo. I am playing Romeo's best friend, Mercutio.
We are currently going over scene four, a street. Enter ROMEO, MERCUTIO, BENVOLIO, with five or six Maskers, Torch-bearers, and others.
"The date is out of such prolixity: We'll have no Cupid hoodwink'd with a scarf, bearing a Tartar's painted bow of lath, scaring the ladies like a crow-keeper; nor without-book prologue, faintly spoke after the prompter, for our entrance: but let them measure us by what they will; we'll measure them a measure, and be gone." Benvolio says.
"Give me a torch: I am not for this ambling; being but heavy, I will bear the light." Romeo says.
"Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance." Mercutio says.
"Not I, believe me: you have dancing shoes with nimble soles: I have a soul of lead so stakes me to the ground so I cannot move." Romeo says.
"You are a lover: borrow Cupid's wings, and sour with them above a common ground." Mercutio says.
"Alright guys. That is enough for tonight. I'll see you all tomorrow after school ends." Sikowitz says.
"Oh thank god." I mumble.
10 Minutes Later: 6:45 PM
"Jade! Jade! Jade!" I turn around and frown at the sight of a frantic Cat.
"What's...what's wrong Cat? Why are you yelling?" I ask Cat.
"Tori's...Tori's water broke. She..." Before Cat can finish her sentence, I interrupt her.
"Oh my god. Where...where is she Cat? Is...is she ok? Is she breathing? Oh my god...please tell me she's ok. Please." I say.
"She's...she's in pain. She's in the black box theater." Cat says. I exit the dressing room and make my way into the block box theater. I run over to Tori and drop to my knees next to her.
"Hurts so bad Jade." Tori mumbles.
"Shhhh baby, it's ok. You're ok. Somebody call 911!" I yell.
"We called 911 a couple of minutes ago. The operator said that the paramedics will take roughly six minutes to get here." Sikowitz says.
A Little Over an Hour Later...8:05 PM
"Are you Tori Vega's next of kin?" A doctor asks me.
"Yes, my name is Jade West. I am Tori's fiance." I say.
"Your fiance is in in labor. I did an exam, and she is currently dilated three centimeter's. In order for the baby to be born, Tori has to dilate to ten centimeter's. If she does not dilate to ten centimeters within the next two days, we are going to have to do a C-Section...do you have any questions?" The doctor asks me.
"Ah...Tori...Tori is only 28 weeks pregnant. What...what are the chances that our...our baby survives?" I ask the doctor.
"Your baby has a 90-95 percent chance at surviving." The doctor says.
"Oh thank god...I...I was scared, so scared. Can...can I see Tori?" I ask the doctor.
"Yes, she is in room 195. If you want to stay with her overnight, there is a chair that converts into a bed in the room, and there are pillows and blankets in the closet next to her bed...ok?" The doctor asks me.
"Ok, thank you doctor." I say.
"You're welcome Ms. West." The doctor says. After shaking my hand, the doctor turns around, and starts walking down the hall.
Ten Minutes Later...8:18 PM
After telling everyone of Tori's condition, (Tori's parents are in Australia. I tried to call them; but the call went to voice mail. Same goes for my parents. My parents are in Florida.) I make my way to Tori's room. I knock on the door.
"Come in!" Tori yells. I open the door, step into the room, close the door, and walk to Tori's bed.
"Hey baby." Tori says.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" I ask Tori.
"I feel tired, cranky, sore, hungry, moody..." Before Tori can finish her sentence, I interrupt her.
"Do you want me to get you something to eat?" I ask Tori.
"The nurse is fetching me something to eat. The cafeteria is closed at this hour, so she is going to heat me up one of her lean cuisine meals." Tori says.
"That's awfully nice of her." I say.
"Yeah. Have you called my parents yet?" Tori asks me.
"Yes...the call went straight to voice mail." I say.
"O...ok. I wanted them here for the birth of our baby." Tori says.
"I know you did baby. I did too." I say.
"Anyways, let's changed the topic. How are our friends doing?" Tori asks me.
"They're doing ok. They were worried about you. I told them that you were ok, and to go home. They promised that they would come visit you tomorrow after school." I say.
"Speaking of school. I think you should take a week off of school." Tori says.
"Me too. I'll call the school in the morning and tell them that you and I need to take a couple of weeks off of school." I say.
"Ok. In the morning, can you call the nanny we just hired, and tell her that we need her to start working in two weeks?" Tori asks me.
"Sure. Do you think we should ask Beck and Andre to set up the nursery for us?" I ask Tori. Tori shakes her head yes.
"Ok. Do you mind if I go across the street and get something to eat from Ella's diner?" I ask Tori.
"I don't mind. Hurry back." Tori says.
"Ok. Love you." I say as I give Tori a kiss on the forehead.
"Love you too." Tori says.
45 Minutes Later...9:09 PM
I enter Tori's room and walk over to the bed.
"Tori baby...are you asleep?" I ask Tori. No answer. After converting the chair into a bed, a grab a blanket and a pillow and lie down on the chair/bed.
