A big thank you goes out to ShannonxMoore'sxLoverx, ChainGangShorty54 and Ainat for the reviews. You guys are awesome!

Shannon and Tori made it to the hospital within a few minutes and soon got themselves checked in with the receptionist.

"Tori Moore is here for a C-Section. Dr. Hope should have called by now," Shannon told the receptionist as Tori took a seat on a nearby couch.

"Ah, yes, she called just a few minutes ago," the young woman said as she looked at Tori. "Tori, this wheelchair right here is for you, and I will page Dr. Hope to let her know you are here."

"Ok, thank you," Tori said as she got into the wheelchair and then looked up at Shannon. "You ready for this?"

"You bet I am!" he said reassuringly as he kissed her forehead. "I love you Tori."

"I love you too."

Dr. Hope arrived moments later, and they wheeled Tori into a nearby room to get her prepped for a C-Section. While they prepped, they asked Shannon to stay outside of the room for a minute. During his moment alone, he decided to make a quick call to Matt, who answered after only two rings.

"Hello?"

"Hey Matt, its Shannon. Are you busy?"

"Not at the moment. Ang and I are just hanging out. What's up?"

"I'm in the hospital with Tori. I need you to go to our house and bring our bags up to the hospital."

"Absolutely. Did she go into labor, and where are they?"

"Tori's big duffel is by the back door. The baby's diaper bag is in the baby's room. No she didn't go into labor. We were at a doctor appointment and discovered the cord is wrapped around the baby's neck. So, she is getting prepped for a C-Section now."

"Oh man that's awful. Yeah, we are leaving right now, will be up in a few, and we'll call the guys."

"Thanks man," Shannon said as he watched the doctor come out of Tori's room. "How's Tori holding up?"

"She is prepped and you can go back in. We are ready to wheel her down to surgery."

"Ok, thanks."

Shannon then re-joined his wife in her room, and she was soon wheeled down to the surgery room. Shannon slipped scrubs over his clothes, and then took his wife's hand.

"Alright, Shannon, Tori, within minutes your baby will be here," Dr. Hope said as she began. "Tori, in just a minute you will feel some tugging. Just stay as calm and still as you can."

Tori closed her eyes and slightly winced as she felt the tugging, and Shannon tightened the grip on her hand. "Shan, do you realize we are going to be parents in just a few minutes?"

"Scary isn't it?" he teased. "Did you ever think after the first night we met that within 8 months we would be married and be parents?"

"Its very scary," she said smiling.

"Nurse Andrea, I need the baby warmer now!" Dr. Hope said sternly as she was cutting the cord on the baby's neck.

"Shannon, what's going on?" Tori asked nervously.

Shannon watched as Dr. Hope cut the cord and unwrapped it from his neck. He couldn't believe how much of the baby's color was purple.

"Shannon????"

Dr. Hope kept the baby under the warmer, trying to get him warm and his body temperature back up. Within a few mintues, Shannon and Tori heard the sound every set of parents longs to hear when their baby is born: the sound of their baby crying.

Dr. Hope then looked up and smiled at Shannon and Tori. "Your son is going to be ok."
