CHAPTER 2
For the following months, Sophie´s pregnancy went smooth, just a day after the announcement, Donna, Rosie and Tanya took the young mother to shopping around the island, in order to buy baby stuff, such like toys, baby clothes, light ones, since Sophie refuse to know if they would be a boy or a girl and a crib, of course, in which Donna made Sam and Sky would build later.
''okay, what´s next on the list?'' Donna asked as they stopped for some ice cream.
''Donna, if someone see's you, they will think you´re the one having a baby'' Rosie tease her.
''but I am excited!'' the 60-year old woman said ''can´t wait to meet the little one''
''don´t be harsh with Mom, Aunt Rosie'' Sophie laugh ''i´m enjoying your help Mom, don´t worry''
''thanks sweetheart!'' Donna smiled
''girls, the shopping therapy is amazing, but now I have to go'' Tanya announced getting up
''where you going?'' Donna asked
''it´s my beauty session, this baby can´t have an ugly aunt'' Tanya said firmly and before any of them say something, she left.

As time goes by nicely, more than one occasion, Donna felt like something wasn´t totally right and in other times, it was Sophie herself, who let out confusing speeches, like the one she did with Bill, on her 6th month of pregnancy.
The day in question, both her and Donna were helping Bill on is boat, when Sophie come up with a question.
''Dad, i´m sure you will be a wonderful granddad, you know?'' she said and both Donna and Bill looked at her confused
''well, I think I will have fun teaching the little one how to sail this thing'' he laugh, looking at the boat ''you two can come here to a ride anytime''
''thanks Dad'' she smiled and leaned to give the older man a kiss.
Once mother and daughter left the boat, Donna hold her daughter arm and whispered in her ear ''what was that?''
''nothing, Mom'' Sophie said ''I'm just want to make sure, my three possible fathers are going to be a good grandfathers'' she assures her worried mother.

Morning sickness was what worry Sophie the most in the lasts months of pregnancy, this way, everyone around her did everything to make her life as easy as possible, especially Sky, who barely leaves her side, leaving her annoyed sometimes.
''baby, aren't you suppose to working?'' Sophie said one afternoon, waking up from a nap.
''I am working'' Sky show her the computer and rushing to her side ''but I don´t want to leave your side'' he said laying down next to her.
''you´re so cute when you get romantic.'' Sophie laughed as Sky placed a hand on her stomach ''are you scared?''
''terrified'' was the answer
''good, because I'm basically scared to death as well'' she said as they keep lying down, resting and watching tv.

Meanwhile, at the hotel lobby, Sam was a bit worry about Donna, since a few weeks ago, she was been worry a lot, not only about Sophie, but with the whole place as well.
''Sam, I'm going to Mykonos tomorrow to see a doctor'' she said suddenly, making not her husband look at her, but also her friends.
''are you feeling alright, Don?'' Sam asked carefully.
''I don't know!'' she confessed ''there's something thinning my chest, my throat are dry, it something really wrong!'' she said
''it´s called anxiety'' Harry said as he came close ''you don´t need a doctor, Donna, you need to relax, Sophie is fine, this place is fine, everything is ok'' he said
''yeah, I just… I'm just worry, that's all'' she said
''oh, so come on'' Tanya took her friend´s hand and lead her upstairs ''Donna my friend, you need a bubble bath with chamomile and fine herbs and I won't take a 'no' for answer, now, come on'' she said, not giving time to Donna argue.

Later that same night, Donna and Sophie, were at the nursery, tiding the baby´s room, so it would be perfect when he or she arrived. After half an hour working them, both mother and daughter sit to rest and chat.
''Mom, Papa said you were a bit strange today, it´s everything ok?'' Sophie asked
''yeah honey, as Harry said, it´s just anxiety, that´s all'' she said making the daughter laugh.
''yeah, Daddy really knows how to calm you down'' she said ''Mom, you don´t have to worry, I know you, Papa, Dad and Daddy will be awesome grandparents, you four will spoil this baby a lot''
''oh, i´m sure I will'' Donna widened her eyes in agreement ''and Rosie and Tanya are anxious to be great aunts as well, don´t worry.
''just don´t let Auntie Tanya knows you called her 'great aunt' she will kill you'' Sophie remarked and both laugh.

The baby decided to come a bit early, though, a week before what the doctors expected. It was a day after Donna´s birthday, the family and friends had a big party the previous night and even Sophie´s friends Lisa and Beth came to congratulate Donna and fight who would be the baby´s godmother.
Next morning after the party than, Sophie and Sky were helping Sam clean the yard, when suddenly the young woman doubled herself in pain and let out an yell.
Immediately, Sam and Sky rush to her side and make her sit down ''baby, what´s happening?'' the younger man asked
''I…I think… the baby is coming…ARGH!'' Sophie yelled again
''Sky, go call Donna and everyone else, I'm taking Sophie to the car'' Sam demanded, taking Sophie on his arms.
_/_
The hotel went into an uproar and flurry of activity, after Sky had rushed to tell everyone that his wife went into labor, Donna and everyone else, rushed around to the first vehicle they could find, in order to take Sophie and Sky to the hospital.
Sky of course, never wanted to let go of his wife´s hand, even when they reached the hospital and the nurses placed her on a stretcher.
''it´s hurts so bad!'' Sophie cried in agony as Donna tried to calm her daughter down.
''it´s okay Sophie, it´s okay, love!'' the old woman tried to hold her tears back, when the nurse pushed her back.
Donna as well as the other family who gathered at the hospital, were in the same position. They were all nervous and terrified because, of how rushed the doctors seemed to act.
The lead doctor ordered, ''Everyone, we are going to need some space, we're taking Mrs. Sergievsky into surgery.''
Sky demanded ''I'm Adam Sergievsky, her husband. Is there any way I can go in with her?'' he said and In response to his question, the nurse nodded with her head, to follow them, wheeling Sophie toward the double doors. She said over her shoulder, "You are allowed into surgery. Should the need arise, for intervention to help the mother and child, you will have to wait in the waiting room with the rest of the of the family."
"Okay, ma'am. That sounds like a plan." Sky answered back.
''Oh my God! I hope everything goes fine'' Donna nervously cried as Sam hugged her close, and Harry held her hand.
All the family could do, was wait for news on whether or not things with, Sophie and the baby, as well as Sky were okay. They were all scared, and had every right to be. So everybody said a prayer for the little family, hoping for good news.

Inside the of the OR, Sophie was trying her best to push through the pains and follow the doctor's instructions, but as the contractions became closer and closer together, the pain kept getting unbearable.
''Sophie, you´re doing well, the baby is almost here. Just one more push should do it." the doctor instructed.
''Come on, baby, you can do it'' encouraged Sky. His wife started to get a little weaker and pale, which worried him.
''I...I...c...can´t…do it.'' the woman whimpered in agony, squeezing her husband's hand rather tightly.
''Of course you can honey, just do it how the doctor said to.'' Sky pleaded softly for his wife to continue pushing.
''Okay Sophie, the head is out. I'm going to need you to push one more time, in order for the baby to be delivered!'' ordered the doctor.
It was after one more strenuous push, that the room was filled with a high pitch crying
''it´s a girl!'' the doctor announced excitedly.
''Oh God!'' Sky exclaimed ''she´s beautiful, Soph! '' he said, looking at his daughter, but not wanting to let go of Sophie's hand.
''baby, she´s amazing, our daughter is amazing, isn't she!?''
From where Sophie laid, exhausted, she could see her beautiful baby girl. She had ten perfect little fingers, and ten perfect little toes. Absolutely perfect in every way.
After a minute, Sky started to feel Sophie´s grip quickly loosen, from his hand and he looked back to her, as the monitors started to beep frantically. Now, he really started to worry.
''Sophie?'' he whispered in a scared voice. ''Sophie, babe, are you okay,? Please, I'm begging you, please open your eyes''
''Sophie?'' the doctor called, but realizing the situation and what was happening, he changed his expression to a serious face. ''she´s crashing, I need help in here. Grab the crash cart!''
''what is it?'' Sky was in panic as he yelled, ''what´s happening to my wife!''
The doctor was screaming, ''get him out of here and get some help, now!''
''no, I'm not leaving my wife, wait…'' the young man yelled as two male nurses come and rush him outside. ''wait!'' Sky yelled.
But to no avail, the doctors pushed him out of the room as they said over their shoulders, "Sir, we need you to leave. We'll come and let you and your family know what's going on, when we are finished with helping your wife."
From the waiting room, Donna and the family became worried, as they heard the shots from the doctors and from they all wanted to rush to Sophie's side, wanting to know what was happening. But they couldn't, and when they saw Sky being pushed out of the room, they all new something must have gone wrong. Really wrong.
''Sky!'' Donna called him ''what´s happening, why are you here? Where´s Sophie…and the baby?
''Donna, guys, the baby is fine, it´s a girl!'' Sky said ''but Sophie isn´t feeling well''
''oh God!'' Donna placed her hands over her mouth, her heart was fast with worry
''i´m sure they will be both fine, kid, let´s wait'' Harry forced Sky down on one of the plastic chairs as he began to sob.
_/_
It was the longest half hour from everyone´s lives that day. Donna and Sam were holding into each other, trying to be strong, Harry, Bill, Tanya and Rosie, just keep assuring each other, everything was going to be okay, while Sky keep staring at the double door, waiting for the doctor to arrive.
Suddenly then, the doctor appear, his head low and his clothe dirt with blood. Upon seeing him, Sky jump out of his chair and rash to him, follow by everyone.
''Doc, how is my wife? And the baby, I want to see them, where are they?'' Sky was angry
''Mr. Sergievsky, the baby is fine, she´s in the nursery'' the doctor try to calm the young man
''and about my daughter?'' Donna put herself between the doctor and Sky, trembling with fear ''where´s my daughter?''
''I'm afraid there´s some complications ahead'' he said and start to explain little by little, what had happened with Sophie. Apparently the effort during labor, caused complications in the young woman's heart. They did all they could to save her, but she didn´t make it.
Donna´s worlds collapsed as she heard the news, she couldn´t believe her little girl had gone just like that. ''No, please, no my daughter!'' she wailed in despair, as Sam hold her close.
Each one of the family received the news on their own way, Harry looked shocked as the doctor make his way back to the OR, Rosie and Bill try to comfort each other over the news. And Sky just sit there, in shock, not knowing what to do, the love of his life just passed away and he didn´t know how to react,
Suddenly, he felt a pair of arms hold him, while everyone was trying to comfort a hysterical Donna, Tanya was the only one who came to his aid and give him a strong embrace.
''it´s alright to cry, my boy, it´s okay to cry'' she whispered on his ear, as Sky finally managed to sob the lost of the love of his life.
And sorry if it´s strange, or cliche, but i never writed a birth scene before, much less one involving deaths.
