After asking a few location based questions , Albert raced to Willie and Rachel's. When he arrived at Laura's he was ready to fall asleep on the floor. Now Albert felt enough energy to not sleep for a year. He called the energy god given Adrenaline. With how he acted he wasn't sure he deserved any gifts from god.
Albert made it to their house in what seemed like 5 seconds. He hollered out and Willie came to the door with a tear stricken face filled with anger. Seeing the face of his dear friend seemed to cause tears to stream down his own cheeks.
"How How is she ?!" Albert spoke in a breathless sniffle
Willie motioned for Albert to follow him so he did. Willie stopped just inside the master bedroom.
What Albert saw horrified him. Rachel was laying on their bed in apparent pain. And as his drifted down to the floor he saw two puddles of bright red blood. The only fact that comforted him was the blood wasn't a pool. But it still wasn't good. The stitch was probably ripping it just hadn't ripped all the way.
Rachel was suffering all because he wanted to take a long walk to think about how much her case was making him suffer. ?! . He felt like the most selfish man on earth. Two lives were on the line because of his actions.
Albert didn't have time to stand around and feel guilty. He quickly hollered a order to Willie to get his medical bag. Willie made a mad dash out the door.
After a quick examination it was apparent that a natural birth wasn't at all possible. The bleeding did seem to slow down but there was still drops of blood on his finger tips when he finished the examination.
Even though he looked incredibly idiotic Albert stood in the corner of the room and willed his mind to go back to the C-Section he'd seen performed in medical school. He was just starting to go back when Willie burst through the room with the medical bag.
By God's divine intervention during surgery preparation Albert started to remember everything. The only problem was this woman didn't have her cervix stitched like Rachel did. He didn't have time to think about that. He had to act.
Albert inserted a IV into Rachel and gave her medication to sedated. He kindly ordered Willie out of the room.
Then he took a deep breath and made the first incision. Once Albert was inside he took the stitches out slowly stitch by stitch and removed the rubber band. Then layer by layer he slowly opened Rachel up completely . And that's when he saw an arm reach out. Albert jumped back a few inches in shock. But then quickly composed himself. He reached down inside of Rachel's body and firmly grabbed ahold of the baby's body. He slowly pulled the baby out.
As if an angel had appeared Laura entered the room. Without words I handed the freshly born baby.
Through the chaos he somehow heard Laura pat the baby on the back and then a ear piecing newborn cry filled the room. The baby sounded strong.
He could only pray the same for Rachel.
