Sorry if the timeline isn't right. And I have never given birth before I'm only 13 but I watch a lot of Discovery Health.

Tuesday August 22, 2008- The Next Day

Angela water had broken 1 month early. Dr. Harvey came in. Brennan was on one side of Angela and Hodgins was on the other side.

"How are you doing?"

"Good. The contractions are getting stronger. Doc isn't there anything we can do to slow down the labor? I'm only 2 months away from my due day."

"No now that your water is broken there's nothing we can do." Angela sighed. "I'm gonna see how far you are along." As Dr. Harvey checked Angela, she asked her some questions. "Have you guys picked out a name yet?"

"Yes finally. Her name is Leah Violet."

"That's cute."

"Thanks"

"Okay it looks like you are 4 centimeters."

"That's it? I've been in labor for a day."

"One time I had a patient in labor for 3 days. You can do it. I'll come check on you later." Dr. Harvey said throwing away her glove and walking out of the room.

Brennan looked at Angela "You never told me her name."

"I'm sorry. Just being in the hospital so much……"

"I understand. Do you want anything?"

"Um… Could you go get me some ice?"

"Sure. I'll be right back." Brennan got a cup and walked out of the room and down the hall.

2 Days Later- 11:00 in the Morning

Dr. Harvey came in. Angela was screaming in pain "How are you?" started to calm down.

"Good I just the contractions are getting a lot stronger."

"I can see. You were 8 centimeters last time let me check and see how you are doing?"

"Okay" As Dr. Harvey checked Angela, Angela asked her some questions. "What are the chances of walking her out of here without any complications?"

"There are some complications but they're all treatable. It looks like you are fully dilated. When you feel a contraction push okay? I'm gonna go get the NICU team and be back in a little bit." A nurse came in and started getting Angela to push.



"Here comes a contraction." Angela said then screamed as she pushed. "Angela look at me concentrate" Brennan said holding her hand and showing her how to breath. "Brennan I want painkillers."

"You have made it this far your fine."

"Easy for you to say." Angela said still pushing.

"You get to do this for me in a few weeks." Angela took a deep breath the contraction was over. "Okay that contraction is over."

2 ½ hours later

Everybody was dressed in scrubs and masks. Dr. Harvey, the NICU team, and Angela's dad, Brennan, and Hodgins were all there.

"Okay Angela one more push and her head will be out." Dr. Harvey said looking at the baby's head crowning. Brennan and Hodgins was at Angela's feet watching the baby's head crown and Angela's father was holding her hand counting for her. Hodgins was filming. Angela pushed.

"Okay Angela her head is out." Dr. Harvey said suctioning out the baby's mouth and nose. "Angela now just a little push" Angela pushed at little. Dr. Harvey pulled the baby out "Here she is! Kennedy Violet Hodgins!" Dr. Harvey held up the baby. And then handed her off to the NICU team.

"Wait I want to see her!"

"Angela they're going to check her out then you can see."

30 minutes later

Angela, Brennan, and Hodgins went to the NICU to see little Leah Violet Hodgins. She was in an incubator with a tube down her throat so she could breathe. Angela and Hodgins stuck their hands in the incubator. She was 17 inches long and 5 pounds 3 ounces. A man approached them.

"Hi I'm Dr. West. I'm a pediatric pulmonologist. I'm just a doctor who will be treating your daughter for her breathing problems."

"Is there anything wrong with her?"

"She has something called Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome."

"Is that treatable?"

"Yes Once she starts breathing on her own and then when she starts feeding on her own. She can go home."

"Okay"

"Thank you" Hodgins said shaking his hand.
