Chapter Three; The Next (Possible) Time Lady
Alright I'm sorry that it's been so long since I've written but I've been busy with the holidays and other stories. Anyway, here's the next chapter finally and I hope you enjoy it!
The rest of the Christmas concert Rose sang traditional Christmas carols like Jingle Bell Rock and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. After the concert Rose noticed that she wasn't feeling very well at all and could barely walk herself back to the car. "Rose? What's going on why do you look so wobbly?" the doctor asked her as she placed her hands to her chest. "Uh Doctor, I don't wish to alarm you but I think my water just broke." She said.
"What!? Now!? But the baby isn't due until another few months." He said. "Oh yeah, well why don't you try telling her that?" she questioned him. "Alright Rose don't panic and just hold on, I'm going to call the doctor." He said. "But you are a doctor!" she cried as he nodded at her. "Yes I know honey, but I'm not that kind of doctor." He told her with a shake of his head as he led her towards the car. "Are you going to be alright Mum?" Johnathan asked. "Yes son, your mother's going to be just fine." His father answered.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. It's the baby that I'm worried about." Rose said. "It's alright Rose, she'll be alright. We won't let anything happen to her I promise." Her husband told her. "But you can't promise that! My baby sister died and there wasn't anything that I could do about it!" she exclaimed as she heaved a heavy sad sigh and a tear rolled down her cheek. "And now I'm about to lose my daughter." She said. "No, you're not. You can't think like that. Remember that's exactly what you told Sarah." He told her as he helped her into the car.
"Now come on Rose we have to get you to the hospital." He said as he climbed into the driver's seat. "Johnathan help your mother." He told him as he looked over his shoulder at him while he was climbing in before slamming the door shut. Johnathan got in the backseat next to his mother before he shut the door and they all buckled up before driving away to the hospital.

The doctor paced the hospital lobby as Jack and Sarah rushed inside the door. "How is she what's happening? Is she alright?" Sarah asked him. "She just went into the emergency room for a C-section because the baby was losing heart rate. God I just hope that she's okay. It would kill us both if we had to lose the first daughter that we ever had." He said when suddenly the nurse walked down the hallway and over to them.
"Would your name happen to be Mr. James?" she asked him. "Yeah." He answered with a nod. "Well congratulations your wife and your daughter are both doing just fine. They're happy and healthy." She explained. "Oh, thank God." The doctor said as he breathed a sigh of relief. "They will be moved back to their room in a moment and then you can go and see them." She told him before she walked away.
"So, now that you know that she's alright what are you going to name her?" Sarah asked him. "Oh, that's going to be a surprise." He answered with a grin. Later on all three (and of course Johnathan) of them walked inside the room. Rose was looking up at them and smiling while she held a tiny baby inside wrapped inside a pink little bundle. "She just fell asleep but you can still see her." She told them. "Come on Sarah, don't you want to meet your father?" the doctor asked as he walked over to the bedside.
"Wait a minute did you just say?" Sarah began as the doctor turned around and grinned at her. "Yep, her name is Sarah Lillian James. Rose and I both agreed that would be a great way to honor both you and her late sister." He explained. "Especially since you are like a sister to me." Rose added. The doctor sat down next to her and smiled down at the baby before smiling at his wife and placing a tender kiss upon her lips.
Yes I know that was a very short chapter but I'll try to work on some more later on when I have the chance.
