Hi loves! I'm so dumb. I totally thought that i uploaded this last night. But I put it in the Doc Manager section, but then forgot to actually put it in the story. So here I am! Uploading this today! I really hope that this one and the next one get some serious emotional responses out of you. Cause this and the next one are related.

Zevieshipper13: I'm glad they make your day. And that makes my day! :) I guess I'll try. If you love them so much. :)

Now go read! :)


The night is young and the sky is dark. A faint light is coming off of the street lamps illuminating the layer of bright white snow on the ground and on rooftops; thin enough not to sink in completely, but thick enough to build things with it. The atmosphere in the town is calm and collected, not a sign of life about. All of the houses on the street have their lights off, no one stirring, except for one little house at the end of the road on the right hand side.

The Robbins household. Young Zander Robbins and his wife Stevie. The two lie in their bed, snuggled up tight, enjoying the warmth of each other on the cold winter night. Christmas Eve to be exact. Their house is decorated, inside and out. Lights on the outside in different designs, wreath on the front door, tree in the living room with lights and ornaments smothering it. All in all, it is peaceful.

It is peaceful that is, until well into the night when one of them starts to stir. Stevie, the young wife and soon to be mother. Her belly is rather large, seeing as she due in the following month. And maybe, sooner than they expect.


Stevie stirs in her sleep for a moment, her eyes shut tightly, as if she is in pain. She's mumbling incoherent words as she tosses and turns. All of a sudden, her eyes shoot open wide and she sits up, holding her stomach with one hand, and shaking her husband's shoulder with the other.

"Z? Z? ZANDER!" Zander awakens quickly, startled from the sudden yelling of his name.

"What is it?" He asks, seeing her position.

"The baby. I think…. I don't…. it hurts." She says with a slight whimper in her voice, which is unusual for Stevie, so Zander knows that something is really wrong.

"Okay, well let's get you to the hospital." Zander says, already jumping out of the bed, and pulling on a pair of blue jeans and an old band t-shirt

"Zander, hurry." She replies, eyes closed again.

"I'm coming babe," Zander runs into the walk-in closet, grabs the hospital bag and Stevie's coat, and then goes back into the bedroom. "Okay baby, let's go." Zander helps Stevie get her coat on and then wraps his arm around her waist, helping to maneuver her out of the bed, down the stairs, and then out the front door to the car. Zander secures Stevie in the passenger seat, throws the bag into the back seat and then goes around to the driver's side of the car. He gets in and shuts the door, starting the car and pulling out of the driveway. Once the car is on the street, he speeds down the road, making his way towards the hospital.


*10 minutes later*

"Excuse me?" Zander says, approaching the front desk after settling Stevie into one of the chairs in the lobby of the hospital.

"Yes?" the woman at the desk replies looking up from her computer.

"Hi. My name is Zander Robbins. My wife, Stevie, is a patient of Dr. Davila. She just woke up suddenly with some pains in her stomach. She's not due for another month and we're really worried. This is our first child."

"Okay. One second Zander." She pushes a few keys on the keyboard and looks up at the screen, "Ah yes. Here we are." She picks up her phone and dials a number and then speaks into the phone. "Paging Dr. Stork* to the main entrance. Dr. Stork to the main entrance." She puts the phone back on its cradle and then looks up at Zander. "Someone will be here momentarily to assist you."

"Thank you," he replies and goes back to Stevie. He sits down next to her and begins rubbing her back while she leans on his shoulder and lets the tears fall.

"Zander, it hurts."

"Ssh, I know. Someone will be here in a minute. We're gonna find out what is happening with our little girl. Don't worry about a thing." He kisses the top of her head and smoothes back some of her hair.

"Are you the Robbins?" Zander looks up to see a young woman in front of them holding a wheelchair. He nods. "Alright. Let's get your wife into the wheelchair and we'll take her to a room to run a few diagnostic tests."

Zander nods again and gently shakes Stevie who had fallen asleep, due to the pain subsiding momentarily. "Steves? Baby? Someone's here. Gotta wake up now." He whispers into her ear.

She slowly opens her eyes and looks up. With the help of Zander and the young nurse, she is situated into the wheelchair and the nurse pushes her down the hallway through the double doors, Zander following closely beside her.

Once they reach the correct room they need to be in and Stevie is situated onto her bed, the nurse leaves the room, "your doctor will be in momentarily to speak with you." Zander and Stevie nod their heads and say thank you before going completely silent.

"Hey Z?" Stevie finally speaks up, looking down at the blanket, fiddling with the end that is up on her chest.

"Yeah?"

"What, what if something happens to her? I'd never be able to live with myself, knowing that something happened to our little girl." Stevie sobs.

Zander sits on the side of the bed and pulls her to him, wrapping her in his arms, "Hey, don't talk like that. Nothing is going to happen to her. You'll see. She's going to be fine."

Stevie nods and returns Zander's hug, wrapping her arms around his waist and lying her head on his chest. They just stay like that, wrapped in each other's arms, until they separate, hearing a knock at the door. "Come in," Zander says.

The door opens to reveal their OBG-YN, Dr. Davila, smiling and holding a clipboard. He enters the room and shuts the door behind him. "Hi," he says, "I heard that you guys were here. But you aren't due for another month, what happened?"

Stevie begins to explain exactly what happened to her as the doctor listens, nodding his head and jotting a few things down on his clipboard. He then says a few words to the expecting parents and exits the room, leaving them alone with their thoughts.


*1 hour later*

"AHH! Zander!" Stevie screams from her hospital bed, clutching her stomach in one hand as she tries to sit up with the other.

Zander jumps up from the chair he had been sitting in and goes to the side of her bed. "What is it?" he asks her, concern and worry dripping from his voice.

"I think my water just broke. And it really hurts. Worse than before." Stevie cries, tears starting to escape from her eyes. She screams in pain again and Zander panics. He rushes to the opposite side of the bed and pushes on the Call Nurse button rapidly about 5 times while Stevie continues to cry out in what she claims to be excruciating pain.

No more than a moment later, the same nurse from before runs into the room, "What's going on?" She asks the two of them.

"It's Stevie. She thinks her water broke and she's in a lot of pain." He gets out, managing not to cry, but the tears brim his eyes, threatening to spill over.

The nurse's eyes go wide, "Okay. One moment." She rushes towards the phone hanging on the wall and presses a few buttons, holding it up to her ear. "Dr. Davila, please report to room 511 immediately. Dr. Davila to room 511 immediately." The nurse hangs up the phone and goes back towards Stevie's bed. "The doctor will be in momentarily and we'll find out what is happening." The nurse says in a soothing tone, putting a hand on Stevie's shoulder trying to calm her down.

Zander is standing next to her bed, holding her hand in his, and wiping her sticky hair back out of her face, while whispering words of comfort, love and encouragement to her. She continues to whimper from the pain as it courses through her body.

A moment later, the door to the room opens and Dr. Davila walks in. He shuts the door behind him and walks to the nurse, and begins talking with her quietly.

When he finishes speaking with the nurse, he walks over to Zander and Stevie. "Okay Stevie. We're gonna go ahead and move you into the delivery room. I think you might be about ready." Stevie nods and Zander stands up from the spot on the bed he had been occupying.

"Can I come too?" Zander asks the doctor nervously.

"Of course you can. You'll need to wash up and put on some scrubs first. Nurse Jackie will assist you and we'll meet you there."

Zander nods in agreement and then bends down to give Stevie a kiss on her sweat coated forehead. He gives her a reassuring smile and then follows Nurse Jackie to a separate room while Doctor Davila and a few others roll Stevie's bed out of the room, down the hallway and into the delivery room.

Once Zander is sanitized and has a pair of scrubs on over his clothing, he is taken into the delivery room where they doctors are preparing Stevie for the delivery. He goes and stands next to her bed and grabs her hand in his.

She looks up at him and smiles, "You're here." She says.

"Did you doubt me?" He asks her.

"Only for a second." She admits to him.

"Then you obviously don't know me." He says back smiling.

"Alright Stevie," the doctor says. They both look over at him, "it's time."

Stevie looks back at Zander and grips his hand.

"You can do this," he tells her. She nods her and lies back on the bed.

"Okay Stevie, push!" Stevie sits up on the bed and screams as she uses all her energy to push. "And hold, hold, hold, and relax." The doctor says to her.

Stevie falls back on the bed, breathing heavily.

"Here we go, another one. And push!" Steve sits up and pushes again, while screaming and maintaining a death grip on Zander's hand, not that he cares. "And hold, hold, hold, and relax." Stevie falls back onto the bed again, sweating and panting heavily.

"Okay Stevie, give me another big one." The doctor says to her.

Stevie shakes her head as more tears fall from her eyes, "I can't do it. It hurts too much."

Zander squeezes her hand in his and places his other hand reassuringly on her shoulder, "It's okay baby. You can do this. Trust me, it'll all be worth it in the end. Just wait and see." Stevie nods her head and then looks at the doctor.

He nods, "Okay. And push!" Stevie sits up and pushes for a mere second, but then falls back onto the bed almost immediately, eyes closed, not saying a word.

"Steves!" Zander says, shaking her. HE turns to face the doctor, "What's happening?!" he asks, panic evident in his voice.

"I'm not sure," the doctor replies.

"Well get sure! I need to know what is happening to my family!" Zander exclaims, the tears just about ready to fall.

Almost immediately after he speaks, the doctor gets a look of panic and worry on his face and the nurses run to assist him. "What's happening?!" Zander asks them. "What's going on?!" he continues when no one answers him.

He tries to advance towards them when the doctor speaks up, "Nurse Jackie, please escort him out of the room." Nurse Jackie nods and moves towards Zander, placing a hand on his shoulder, and then manages to get him out of the room, despite his constant protests and struggles.

She leads him out into the waiting room of the maternity ward and directs him to a chair to sit down in. He sits down reluctantly and looks up at the nurse. "When will I be able to go back in and see her?" he asks, a slight quiver to his voice.

"We'll have someone come out here and get you when you can come back in. But until then, you need to wait out here." Zander slumps back in his seat and watches as the nurse goes back behind the double doors she had walked through moments before.

Without so much as a second thought, Zander pulls out his phone and calls the people that he knows Stevie would want there to celebrate the birth of their first child with them. He dials each number carefully and says the same thing in each one, "Hospital now. It's Stevie." And then he hangs up without waiting for a response. When he is finished with all the necessary calls, he sits back in his chair and waits.

*I went online and looked up different hospital codes. And this whole "paging Dr. Stork" thing, is real apparently. It's basically to signal that there is a pregnant woman who needs help. Something to that affect.

So? Did you all like it? Did you almost cry? I hope so. I can't wait for you all to read the next part! And I think it's gong to be longer than this one. It will be up later today. I promise! :) Let me know what you thought in a review! Please and thank you!
