Teddy sat by the window and Henry sat in the aisle seat. When the plane took off, Teddy fell asleep on Henry's shoulder.

Halfway through the flight…

Teddy was awoken by a sudden jerk. "What was that Henry?" she asked nervously. Henry looked around. "I don't know Baby," he replied. Another sudden jerk startled them both.

"Ladies and Gentlemen please fasten your seatbelts. The pilot has turned on the seat belt sign," announced the flight attendant.
A series of violent jerks and drops happened. Oxygen mask dropped. They put them on.
"Henry! I'm scared," cried Teddy. "Grab my hand Baby. We'll be fine," said Henry. The two held hands.
"Please brace yourselves the pilot must make an emergency landing."
"Oh my god!" sobbed Teddy. Henry kissed her, "Teddy I love you so much." Tears streamed down Teddy's face, "I love you too Henry."

BANG!

The plane crashed into a forest. Glass shattered and the plane caught on fire.

Teddy and Henry unbuckled themselves and ran away from the plane.

The plane exploded.

Henry pulled Teddy down and shielded her with his body.

"Teddy are you ok?" asked Henry. Teddy nodded and they ran farther away. Henry found a cave and he and Teddy went inside. Teddy was sobbing hard. Henry wrapped his arms around her in a hug.

"Teddy, you need to calm down. We are going to be ok"

"No, we aren't going to be ok!"

"How do you know that?

Teddy feels something wet run down her legs.

"Because I think my water just broke…"

Henry looked at the puddle on the ground

"Teddy I don't know what to do. You wait here and I will go get someone who can help."

"Henry, don't leave me, I'm hurting and I can't have her here. I am only like 22 weeks, she won't make it!"

"Teddy, she is a tough little girl. You have already almost lost her once and she lived she will survive this time too and by the way she is part Me."

"Honey, please don't leave me. Take me with you."

Henry picked up his wife and ran out to where all the other passengers were and said, "I need a doctor or someone who can deliver a baby!"

A woman and her husband walk over to him and said "We can. We work at Saint Mary's Hospital in Texas. We were visiting Seattle for a medical conference."
Henry was relieved and said "Thank you all, I'm Henry and she's Teddy. We are just trying to get back to Seattle."
The husband and wife introduce themselves. "I'm Gerald," said the man. "I'm Harriet," said the wife.

While the man goes and gets a sheet from their stuff the woman asks how far along she is.

Teddy looks at the lady as Henry lays her down on the sheet and says, "I am 22 weeks and I don't want to do this, because
she's not ready"

"Sweetheart, your water has already broken, you have to do this. Let me go get some gloves"

Teddy then looks up at her husband sitting right beside and she starts holding his hand. Tears fall from her eyes. Henry tries his best to mask his feelings.

"Henry, what if something goes wrong with her? She will die because you can't do a C-section in the middle of a forest!"

"Teddy, she will be fine and that guy over there called the nearest hospital and they will be here soon but you will probably have her here."

"Henry, I am scared you have to be here for me."

"Teddy, I would never leave you."

When Harriet got back she examined Teddy and said "You are ready to push."
Teddy looked up at Henry and smiled, then told the lady, "Ok". She squeezed Henry's hand when a bad contraction came and
she had to push. Teddy cried in pain. She pushed three more times.

Harriet frowned and told Teddy not to push. Teddy got worried and squeezed Henry's hand. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Your baby is in the breech position, but she is coming fast. I have to turn her into the correct position," answered Harriet. Teddy stared at her in horror. "I have to start now," said Harriet.
She started trying to turn the baby. Teddy screamed in pain and more tears came out. "I'm sorry Sweetheart, but I need to try again. She didn't fully turn," said Harriet. She tried again, causing a series of screams from Teddy.
"Ok, I got her in the right position. You need to push now or she could go into fetal distress."

"I'm so tired though," cried Teddy. She waited for another contraction and pushed. She pushed seven more times.

Harriet said "Honey you're doing great her head is out"

Teddy squeezes Henry's hand and he tries not to make it obvious that she was hurting him.

Teddy asks the lady, "When will the hospital be here, because I can't lose her."

"Sweetheart, she is really early but hopefully she will be fine. I need you to keep pushing."

Teddy nodded and pushed five times. The baby's shoulders slid out. She pushed one more time, with all her might.

Lexie Olivia Burton was born and she was very tiny and not doing well at all. Gerald used a shoelace to tie off the baby's cord. He wrapped her in a towel from his bag.

Teddy held her and looked at Henry with tears in her eyes and said "Henry, what are we going to do? She can't breathe and if we don't hurry her little heart will give out."

"Teddy, I know we have to do something, I love her so much and can't lose her."

"Oh my god! KANGAROO!" exclaimed Teddy. Henry looked at her. He had a confused expression. "What?" he asked. "Arizona told me about the kangaroo hold. Once Karev held a premature baby that way and the baby's health got better," answered Teddy.

She handed Henry Lexie and took off her shirt. She asked Henry to give back Lexie. Henry gently placed her back in

Teddy's arms.

She adjusted the baby's position and held Lexie to her heart. A few minutes later, Lexie's breathing sounded less like choking gasping noises. Teddy smiled and kissed her baby's head.

"Arizona said that skin to skin contact helps. When babies hear their mother's heartbeats, it helps their own heart," said Teddy. Henry smiled and put his arm around Teddy.

"I love you Teddy. I love our baby. Thank you for giving me everything I could have dreamed of."

"Henry, I love you so much."

The helicopter arrived and landed beside the debris of exploded airplane
