" Something is wrong. It's happening now."

"But we still have about a month"

" No, Sophia isn't going wait."

Another contraction hit. " Ow, Mike get the car NOW."

"Things were happening all at once. Rachel was struggling to put pants on while Mike was frantically searching for his keys. This was happening, it was really happening. Mike was going to be a father, and Rachel was going to be a mother. It was so real.

" I cant find my damn keys"

" Over here" Rachel sounded exhausted.

Mike held Rachel's hand and slowly walked her down the stairs. Mike started the car and prayed there wouldn't be traffic. The closest hospital was about twenty minutes away. Mike hoped she could hold on a little longer. Mike could practically hear Rachel gritting her teeth.

" Are you doing okay over there?"

" Michael Ross, does it look like I'm okay? No, it doesn't, so don't ask me stupid questions."

Mike knew Rachel must of been in a lot of pain so he decided not to get upset over her minor melt-down. " Oh my gosh" Mike looked over only to see wet seats, her water broke. Mike could see Rachel's lip quivering. She never was one to cry but this pregnancy made her an emotional roller coaster, so Mike didn't know how to feel. He wanted to hug her, and tell her everything was okay but honestly he was just as terrified as her. Tears were now running down her cheeks.

" Mike, I cant do this, I'm scared."

" Everything is gonna be just fin-"

Mike was so focused on comforting Rachel that he didn't notice that he ran a red light, so all he felt was the impact.

He woke up groggy, and he was sore. It took him a minute to process where he was and the situation he was in. A car hit him. he was still in the car, and Rachel was in the car too.

" Rachel!"

There was no answer. Mike wanted to turn his neck but it hurt to much.

" M-mike" The voice sounded broken and far away.

" Thank God. Are you okay? What hurts?"

" Everything"

Mike could her the sirens in the distant. He needed them now.

" Does anything feel broken?" There was no response.

Mike could hear the voices of paramedics asking him questions. But he didn't want to hear them, he wanted to hear Rachel's voice. He knew she was still there, she squeezed his hand.

" Ill be fine" Mike felt the hot tears roll down his cheeks.

" I love you," said Mike.

Mike awoke to the constant hustling and bustling of a hospital. He eyelids were so heavy, but he didn't care he had to find Rachel. He heard a muffled voice say, " Calm down" How could he calm down? A woman that he just said he loved may lose her life and to make matters worse, his daughter might be gone to. There was no upside to the prediciment he was in at the moment. His mind was trying to figure out who voice had just spoken to him, it was harvey. He wanted to ask Harvey a million questions but all he could choke out was one word. " Water" Harvey jumped up and gave him a cold glass. It felt magnificent on his dry throat.

" Where's she? Please. Where are they?"

" Calm down. They are still in surgery. Thats all I know, but when I find out you'll be the first one to know."

Mike was crying now. "I need to see her."

Mike was pushing himself off the bed. Harvey was at his side.

" You need to take it easy."

" Harvey I love her, and she is carrying my child. I NEED to see her."

Harvey gave in and decided to give in and helped his weak associate felt weak, but he pushed on toward the front desk. Mike was exhausted by the time he reached it so Harvey spoke to the woman. The lady kindly directed them to room 16 in the intensive care unit. Rachel looked so weak in the white bed. Her face was covered in bruises and scratches. The bandage across her stomach was a heavy guaze. It hit Mike. Sophia.

" My baby, wheres my baby?"

The nurse in the room explained that Sophia was currently getting checked out, and that she wont be allowed to be held for another week or so. The nurse also added that Mike could see her if he pleased.

" No, I would love to see her, but I want to see her with Rachel."

Harvey decided to care for a brief moment. " Im gonna run to your apartment and grab her bags, and some extra clothes for you."

" Ok, Thank you... for everything."

Harvey left the two alone. Mike decided to curl up next to Rachel. The two slept for an hour and Rachel woke up first. Rachel looked around and saw the note Harvey left.

I went for dinner with Donna. I'll be back.

Rachel realized where she was. Her hand went straight for her stomach.

" Mike!" Tears were falling from her eyes. Mike woke up and explained everything. He called for the nurse and the nurse got a wheelchair for Rachel and they made their way to the nursery. They were only able to touch her hands and look at her face through the glass. At nine pounds three ounces, she was beautiful. She had her fathers' eyes, but Rachel's dark hair. Mike loved her more than anything at that moment. Rachel stroked her hand and whispered, " I love you." Mike looked up only to see Rachel's eyes meet with his. He leaned in a kissed her passionatley.

" I love you."

"I love you too"

Harvey walked in and just stared at Sophia.

" Congratulations. She's beautiful"

"Aww, Uncle Harvey loves you," said Mike

" Never call me that."

Harvey couldn't help but notice that Uncle Harvey had a nice ring to it.

1 week later

Everyone was excited. Today was the day the could all hold Sophia. Mike was bouncing up and down with excitement. Rachel was still a little weak from the surgery,but she felt much better and was just as excited as Mike. They had both been discharged from the hospital but they spent almost every moment with their little girl. The nurse held Sophia in her arms as she walked in, she gently set her in Rachel's arms. Rachel eyes lit up as her eyes opened slightly. She passed her to Mike.

" My baby. Daddy's little girl."

Mike spent a good 5 minutes holding his newborn.

He passed her onto Donna. " She is going to be a heart-breaker."

Donna stopped cuddling Sophia and passed him to Harvey.

Harvey looked so uncomfortable. The small baby looked up into his eyes and held her gaze. Harvey didn't think he could kee up his I-don't-care-attitude. She was making his heart melt right at that moment. They drove to the house and crowded around the crib as the watched her sleep. She was so peaceful. Donna and Harvey left around 7 o'clock.

"Im exhausted," Mike said as he closed the door.

" Well don't get used t it, we have a long night ahead of us."

I'm sorry if I don't update as often as I should. Between school, cheer-leading, ballet, and sleeping, I don't get much time for writing. Leave reviews please.
