Before I start just wanted to say that I'm sooo sorry for the typos in the last chapter! I used voice typing (which is pretty unreliable without checking over it) and didn't have time to edit! I just looked back over it and I lost count of all the typos. :(
Aunt Gina parked the car and we walked inside nervously. We walked a good distance, and got lost a few times. This wasn't our small and easy to navigate Storeybrook hospital. We were at the nearest big hospital in Maine. We finally found the right entrance and walked in. My dad was sitting in a chair, his back to us. He seemed to be on the phone. I quietly walked over and sat beside him. He finished his conversation and turned to me.
"Lottie" he said. I leaned into him and laid my head on his shoulder. He put his arm around me.
"She's going to be OK daddy. She's a fighter." He nodded.
"That's where you get it from." I laughed. So true.
Aunt Gina came around the corner. "I'm so sorry, hook." She said and placed a hand on his arm.
LThank you, Regina."
"If you need me to stay, I am happy to."
I caught Jason about to whine and gave him a death stare.
"Actually that would be great – just until David and snow get here. I just talked to them and they'll be here in about an hour. The only reason I need you to stay is because I am supposed to go back once she is prepped for surgery, and I want someone to stay with Charlotte. "
Regina smiled and said. "Of course. Anything I can do to help." Jason grudgingly sat down next to her. I could not believe him. My mom just got in a major accident, and he was complaining about staying in the lobby for an hour? I tried not to be too rude. I knew he was going through a tough time right now, but still! After about an hour, grandma and grandpa got here. They have both me and dad big hugs. Regina decided to stay longer, she wanted to be there for all of us.
Soon, the doctor came out and we all stood up nervously.
"Calm down everyone – nothing has happened . I just came out to let you all know that she is ready for the OR, and we will begin delivery soon. She's pretty stable at the moment, so if any of you want to go see here, now is the time. Jason didn't want to go, and David offered to stay with him. The rest is quickly followed Dr. Taub back to the room. I walked through the door nervously. My mom was in a blue hospital gown, and she looked exhausted. She had at least five machines hooked up to her. I got on her head had stopped bleeding, but she still had several bloody towels under her. She lifted her head slightly but the noise of the door.
"Killian" she muttered.
"Yes, it's me love."he said and walked toward her. She leaned over and gently kissed her hand. She leaned into him. Grandma walked around to the other side of the bed.
"Hi sweetie"
She smiled a little.
"Hi mom". Grandma rubbed her hand gently. "It's going to be OK honey."
Next, Regina came around. "You can do this Emma. You are strong."
Finally I approached her.
"Hi mama "she tried to set up, but grimaced in pain. "No, don't get up mom."I said and walked over to her.
After a pause, she said "I love you Charlotte". " I love you too, mom." I replied.
Suddenly the doctors came back in and told us it was time to leave. I got one last glance of my mom before they rushed her down the hallway and into the elevator, followed by my dad. Grandma guided me back to the waiting room, where the only choice I had was to sit and hope.
Killian's POV
"Alright Emma, almost to baby number one." The surgeon announced from the other side of the barrier. I looked down at her face to see that it was blanked with fear.
"I'm scared Killian. What if something's wrong?"
I gripped her hand tighter and planted a gentle kiss on her temple.
"Then we will worry about that when the time comes. Just relax." I soothed, trying not to show the worry that I felt on my face.
"Okay! Baby number one is a healthy baby girl!"
We heard a small cry and saw another surgeon make his way over to one of the small incubators waiting for her.
"We are just gonna take her up to the NICU for observation."
I looked down at Emma to see a big wave of relief cross over her face, followed by a big smile. This made me smile as well, and I bent down to give her a peck on the lips.
"OK, timer for baby number two." After a few more seconds, he looked up. "Congratulations, it's a boy!" He handed off the baby to another doctor who quickly rushed him to a table nearby. I looked down at Emma. We both seemed to have thought The same thing.
"Why isn't he crying?" She asked frantically. There was no response. Then, all the doctors at the table grimly looked up. One of them spoke.
"I'm so sorry. His brain was deprived of oxygen for too long. There was no chance."
For a second, my world stopped. I was unable to hear all of the doctors rushing around, or the beepers monitoring my wife's heartbeat, and my whole body went numb. All I could feel was shock. Disbelief. Grief. My son had just died. Then, all of the sudden, the world hit play again, and I was back in the OR. I looked down at my wife.
"No. No no no.." She tried to sit up, which made all of the doctors rush over and hold her down.
"Mrs Jones, I know this is hard, but you cannot get up. Your own life depends on it." She laid back down and stared disbelievingly into space. Silent tears fell down her face. I felt myself get teary eyed looking at her. I reached down to grab her hand again, and for the first time I can remember, she pulled away.
