A/N: Some of you are concerned about Tranny fighting for the baby. Does Tranny have any rights to the baby? Hmmm... I don't know if I'll answer this one... I already did anyway.

Special Note: I'm all up for criticism in the reviews, I just ask that if you don't like it or disagree with something, I or any of the other authors write, that you be respectful about it. We do this for free and take time out of our RL and families in order to write such stories. We do this out of love.

Chapter 51
EPOV
The wait in the hospital is always a horrible experience.
But when you are waiting to hear about the ones you love the most in the world...
The waiting is hell on Earth.
Especially when the clock taunts you by moving at a snail's pace.
My patience is running thin.
The dirty looks I get from the nurses as I pace up and down the corridor are putting me more on edge.
You would think they would be a bit more understanding.
I thought they were supposed to be compassionate, or maybe, just maybe, one of them could get their ass off that stupid chair and get me some goddamn information!
One hour later...
Two hours later...
My pacing continues and no, I won't sit down and be patient.
Three hours later...
"Edward."
"Dad! How is she? How is the baby? Can I see them now? Is she sleeping?"
"Wait a second, son," he says, scrubbing his face. "Walk with me?"
We walk through a set of double doors after he swipes his ID to gain access.
After a couple of more twists, turns and a long ride to the eighth floor on the elevator, we reach the maternity ward.
"Bella had a panic attack."
It looked like more than just a fucking panic attack.
He continues. "The panic attack, as you know, causes the heartbeat to increase as well as respiration. The changes in her body working overtime registered with the baby. Once the baby began to panic, well... Bella's body could not handle it, so it shut down."
We reach her door.
Panic attack... shut down...
If her body shuts down then the baby... and the baby...
"What about the baby? Is the baby... did she... did she lose the baby?"
He pats me in the back, as if he can transfer strength through it.
"The baby is fine. We are monitoring her as we speak. Her heartbeat is strong and the ultrasound shows that she is still active. Will she have long lasting affects? It's too early to tell. We really won't know until she is born. Bella is under sedatives right now. We want to let her body recover and relax. The best thing for her at the moment is to sleep. We'll be running some tests to figure out what caused the attack, although it is sad to say that happen frequently to pregnant woman. The change in hormones is a good enough reason."
I nod, not really paying anymore attention.
They are okay.
Right now, they are alive.
That's all I need to know.
A/N: Reviews are the same as short hospital waiting times... Oh you just better leave me some luv.
