"Call 911!" Ricky ordered Amy. She nodded still in shock. She fumbled back to her room. As she dialed she felt a tear slip from her cheek. This can't be happening. She thought.
"911 what's your emergency?" A calm male voice asked on the other end.
"My mother!" Amy exclaimed. "She's unconscious and needs help and very fast." My tone was rushed and panicked.
"OK stay calm, give me your address and I'll send and ambulance." The operator was very calm and rational about the whole situation.
"615 West Macintosh St." I said over the phone. My voice was rising. "Please hurry, she's pregnant." I could hear the person order an ambulance to my street.
"Stay on the line until they get there." He said. I nodded, though he couldn't see me.
"Yes of course." When I said this I heard John start to fuss.
"What's she doing right now?" The deep male voice questioned.
"I don't know, my boyfriend is down there with her." I said calming down as I heard the loud trucks and ambulance rush down our street. "They are here; I'm going right now, to see what's going on."
"OK it's in their hands now, good luck." The phone line went dead and I sprinted down the stairs. I saw Ricky standing beside a paramedic who was lifting my pregnant mother onto a stretcher. Ashley came through the back door with a horrid look on her face.
"What happened?" She screamed. I felt tears streaming down my face as I said.
"I don't know." She came to stand by me as Ricky did. They took the stretcher out and loaded her into the ambulance. Ricky ran upstairs to get a whimpering John as Ashley ad I ran to his car. He buckled John in and then we took of to follow the ambulance.

It seemed like hours before a doctor came out to give us any kind of news. My dad and David had gotten there an hour after us. Then Grace and Jack came to pray with us. John was asleep in Ricky's arms when a tall doctor with square glasses and dark hair came out.
"Well." He said. "This young man saved her life." He said pointing to Ricky. "I don't know what he did, but he saved her. She will live, it will take time for her to get better but she will live, oh and she delivered a healthy baby boy. Emergency C-section." He said raising his eyebrows. "It will be a little while before we allow visitors but everybody can go see the baby." He nodded and then walked away. I sighed a breath of relief. I hugged Ricky and John as he also sighed a breath of relief. Tears of joy poured down my cheeks.
"Thank you Ricky." I said. "I love you." I continued. I felt his lips kiss my head as he held John. I wished that our moments could be like this all the time. My mom would live.
