Dear Readers…

I AM SO SORRY! I am a bad author! Well, I do have my reasons and they are that I have finally started my studies to be a nurse and when it's your first time as a uni student and all the classes are hard, it is time consuming.

But I have been getting some heartfelt requests and so I am back in the game…

I will be updating all stories and for those Bones fans, I will be starting a new story…A completely different story…

As for my cousin, I am sorry but she will not be posting anymore chapters. These last few months have been particularly hard for her and so she has stop writing to focus on her family. But if you plead and beg, I will see what I can do and maybe I can take over the NN story for a little while…

Anyway, enjoy the chapter and I do not own any of it…The whole Sookie Stackhouse World Belongs to Charliane Harris…

Love Selena

Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 7

Eric POV

Please, God, don't let her die…she means everything to me…please…

My mind was in overdrive, thoughts swirling in my head…thoughts that maybe, just maybe I could lose the love of my life. Who would have thought that after a wonderful night, everything would crash and burn? I never thought that I would end up here, scared and going crazy, just out of mind just hoping that nothing will happen.

I sat down on the chair behind me and put my head between my legs. I was scared that I could lose the one thing in my life the matters the most. I looked around the hospital waiting room, just hoping that one of the nurses or doctors that were buzzing around will tell what was going on. But no-one would, which just made my agony worst.

"Eric?" yelled Sam, as he approached me. Mia was running behind him and Jason too.

I stood up. "Sam? You're here?"

"Yeah, mate…What the fuck is going on?" he asked.

I gulped and took a deep breath. "It's Sookie…she uh…something happened."

Mia gasped. "What happened?"

I sighed. "We…uh, had just come home from the reception and I had that surprise for her. You know the nursery?" The others nod their head; I took a deep breath before continuing. "Well, I went to get it ready, and I left Sookie in the lounge room. So I left, then I came back and she was on the floor. She seemed to have passed out. I rushed to her and she was bleeding. So I just put her in the car and brought her here. But it's been like almost an hour now and so far no one is telling what the fuck is going on!"

Some of the nurses looked at me shocked as they walked past. Sam placed a hand my shoulder as I began to tear up. I know it didn't seem manly to start crying, but at this point, I didn't really give a fuck.

"Okay, I am going to go and find out what is going on. Till then, Mia will be here." Sam said.

I nodded then frowned. "Hang on, where are the kids…where's Pam?"

"Pam is looking after the kids at the moment but when she can find a babysitter she'll be here, okay?" Mia assured me.

I nodded my head. I really needed my sister here but I guess I could wait; besides my mind had other things on it.

Sam POV

I could tell Eric had his mind occupied. After all, his brand new wife was in hospital and only God knows what was wrong with her. I needed to find out what was going on, not only for Eric's sake, but for Mia. Sookie is Mia's best friend and although she looked like she was fine when I left her with kids, she looked like she could break down.

I ran around the ward, looking for a nurse or a doctor that had any news about Sookie. After what it felt like a million years, I finally saw a surgeon walking my way. I walked back to Eric and the surgeon stopped in front of us.

"Mr Northman, I am Doctor McLeod, your wife's surgeon. We have some good news and some bad news. Right now, we are prepping your wife for an emergency C-section, as the bleeding is causing stress on the baby, so we need to get the baby out. But, it might rise to more complications with your wife. So, after we deliver your baby, we are going to try and stop the bleeding while she is still open. Now, I have ask this…Would you like to in on your wife's surgery?" Dr McLeod asked Eric.

"Oh…uh…What about Dr Ludwig?" Eric stammered.

"Your neonatal surgeon? She will be doing the C-section." Dr McLeod said.

Eric nodded. "Well, in that case, yes. I would like in But I thought that I wasn't allowed."

"Yes, you and your family aren't allowed in the actual operating theatre but you can watch from the room which has a window which you can see into the theatre." Dr McLeod explained.

Eric nodded. "Okay…Shall we?"

The doctor nodded and Eric looked at us. I gave him a small smile and we then followed the doctor to the OR room. Once we arrived, a nurse showed us the room with the window. Eric, Pam, Jason and I walked in and sat down and watched as the door opened and they wheeled in Sookie, who was lying on the bed. We all held our breath in as the doctors and nurses moved her from her bed to the operating table.

She looked so peaceful, lying there with her eyes closed. I turned to my left and saw that Eric was crying. I put my hand on his shoulder and he looked at me.

"She'll be okay…She will be okay." I tried to assure him. Truth was, I scared as hell, and I didn't know if she would make it.

Eric POV

I didn't know what to do. Sookie was lying on the table, like she was asleep and here I was, sitting behind a window and I didn't have a clue about what to do.

Calm down, Northman…You're making yourself go crazy... Just focus on Sookie….Focus on Sookie…

As I watched through the window, I saw the Doctor Ludwig and various nurses place Sookie on the operating table. She was still unconscious, but to me, she looked like she was in deep sleep. Doctor Ludwig then spread her arms out, like she was on a cross, and put a gas mask over her face.

Dr Ludwig then began the caesarean, being very careful not to damage Sookie anymore than she already was. I then hear the door open and I turn to see Mia, Sam, Pam and Jason. I was glad that they had turned up earlier in the night.

After it seemed like hours, Dr Ludwig then pulled a bloody object out of Sookie's stomach. I gasp and started to cry when I saw that it my daughter and I could almost hear her cries through the window. Dr Ludwig looked up, took off her mask and smiled, holding up my daughter to the window. Then suddenly, her expression changed, and she gave my daughter to a nurse and rushed back to Sookie. I turn to look at the monitor and I could see that she was flat-lining.

"Come on Sookie!" I whisper frantically. Mia and the others all stood by my side, worried.

Dr Ludwig than began CPR, trying to keep Sookie's heart rate up. Then, Sookie's heart just gave out, and the monitor flat-lined.

"No!" I scream
