Chapter 11

Welcome to a new chapter....opinions in the comments when you want ;)

Andy's pov: I was twenty weeks pregnant today...that means halftime. But pregnancy stresses me sometimes. I woke up totally sad today, i dreamed of my dad then I kept thinking about the funeral a week after his death.

At the funeral a few weeks ago...

Andy's pov: We drove in a big car behind the fire trucks with his urn. Robert sat with me in the car and held my hand. Then we got to the church, one of the chiefs opened the car door. "Hey, are you ready," Robert squeezed my hand and looked at me. I couldn't speak because otherwise I would have burst into tears, so I just nodded. We got out, playing bagpipes and the whole Fire Department was there. Then we went to church. I had to sit at the very front with station 19. In the front there was a large picture of him smiling and wearing his uniform. Next to it was his urn, it was black and his name was on it. Ripley first gave a very long speech about his life, I wasn't really listening because I knew I should give mine afterwards. Now I went to the front of the podium.

Robert's pov: Andy walked slowly forward. She had a tight black dress that went over her knees, her baby bump could no longer be overlooked. She also wore high heels that weren't too high. She had her hair down. She cleared her throat, all eyes were now on her. "Captain Herrera, my dad was a person you can't describe. He always made sure that every friend or relative was doing well. He was a great long-time captain. He was always there for every team and you could always speak to him in case of problems , no matter which it was. He was a great father. He always helped me when I wasn't feeling well and had an answer for every question. He rocked me to sleep when I couldn't sleep because of nightmares. He always cooked me food when I was hungry and he could distract me from any bad thing. He would have been a great grandpa, he would have loved his granddaughter as much as he loved me then. He gave up his life for me, he threw himself into the fire so I can get out. I love him and I will never forget him ". She looked at me and a tear ran down her cheek, she was expressionless and sat down next to me again.

Andy's pov: From then on everything happened in slow motion. All I knew was that we went out of the church and got into a car that took us home. I fell into bed immediately.

Back in the present...

Andy's pov: There was no point in being sad all the time, I was alive and pregnant with a healthy baby girl, at least that's what we thought. I thought about Robert and what he had to go through, he was always by my side and always hugged me when I was about to cry. I went to him in the living room where he saw television. "Hey," he smiled when he saw me. I sat down next to him: "Thank you". "For what", he turned off the TV. "That you were there for me the last two weeks and that you always supported me". "That goes without saying, I want you and her to be fine," he put his hand on my stomach and smiled. I added mine and smiled too.
It was a busy week and I was glad that it was finally over, well almost over. We had another appointment with Carina today, but it shouldn't be exhausting. "We should come up with a name now, right?" We drove to Grey Sloan by car. "I don't want to stick to a name, when I see her then i'll know it right away", i smiled to him. He took my hand. Then we were at Grey Sloan were Caring was waiting for us. "She's developing very well", Carina smiled at us, then she continued to look. After two minutes she stopped and her smile disappeared. I immediately noticed that something was wrong: "Carina", I was going to get louder. "I just have to check it again", Caring put the ultrasound down and left the room. I looked anxiously at Robert. "I'm scared", I said to him. "Everything will be fine", but he didn't sound so convincing. After half an hour Carina came into the room with another blond-haired doctor: "Hello, I'm Arizona Robbins, pediatrician", she had such a drooping smile that you immediately felt safer. "What about our daughter?" Robert asked and grabbed my hand. "Your daughter has a tumor on her leg. It takes a lot of blood and her body has to work harder than normal. So she can't develope so quickly. We have to remove it tomorrow as soon as possible". I was totally shocked. "Wait does that mean you need to operate me", I looked at Robert, who tried to calm me down. It's minimally invasive and not very dangerous. I am familiar with it and very good". "Okay and what are the risks", I asked, there could be a bleeding and then the risk of a miscarriage, but that only happens to 2% of patients". "We'll do it", Sullivan said, nodding. "Okay, we're going to do the surgery tomorrow," Dr. Robins left the room. "Everything will be fine", Carina nodded at us and walked out of the room too.
Unfortunately, I had to stay in the hospital overnight because they wanted to keep an eye on the values. Almost everyone from our team came to see me. Maya brought me things from home and Robert stayed with me all night. But I couldn't sleep at all, I was so scared. I tossed and turned in the uncomfortable hospital bed. Rober noticed this and woke up: "What's going on", he got up. "I can't sleep, I'm so scared of tomorrow, what if she doesn't make it or something is wrong with me ...- he interrupted me:" Hey, I'm here, nothing will happen to you and her", he stroked my hair. Then he laid down next to me in bed and hugged me tightly to his warm body. Before I knew it was the next morning and I was prepared. "I can assure you that the little one is in the best of hands", Dr Robbins smiled again. "Okay and how long does it all take? "Robert took my hand and I was pushed out of the room."Oh, that's an hour and a half thing". We went to the elevator. "Okay from here we have to leave you behind", said Carina when we wanted to get in. "Okay", Robert kissed me for a long time: "I love you, you can do it", then he let go of my hand and we went up with the elevator.

Carina's pov: After making myself sterile, I entered the operating room. I went to Andy and smiled at her, she was not under anesthesia yet because the anesthesiologist was preparing everything. "Are you ready," I asked her. She nodded: "Wait, if something happens to me ... save the little one", she looked at me. "It won't come to that," Arizona joined us. Then Andy was put under anesthesia. An hour later Arizon was almost finished and she removed the tumor: "There it is, we need a biopsy of it and then we can finish it", she smiled at me through the mask: "I heard you will get married in six weeks". "Wow, I didn't know you knew," I laughed nervously. "Oh come on, the ring reveals everything, besides, I'm happy for you. But really only when I'm invited," she looked at me. "Okay, please. The invitations will be sent out in two days, I'll let Sullivan know that everything went good", I took off my gloves and went back into the washroom.

Robert's pov: "It's been taking too long, something is wrong," I said to Maya who had come half an hour ago. "They would have come a long time ago if something had happened". "Hey, I came in as fast as I did, is she already out," Vick just came in too. Then Carina came: "Everything went well, no complications". We all breathed a sigh of relief. "She will have to spend another day in the intensive care unit, you can see her," Carina looked at me. Then we took the elevator up and she let me into a room where she was, she was still asleep. "She has to wake up soon, Dr Robbins will come for a visit later," then she left me alone.

Andy's pov: My mouth was very dry and the light blinded me. But Robert sat by my side and smiled at me: "Everything went well, they were able to remove everything and there were no complications, you are fine". I smiled weakly: "Well, otherwise I would have murdered Carina", I laughed: "Ouch, that hurt". He took my hand and kissed it: "Everything will be fine now".
He was right about that, after three days we can go home again. My wounds healed wonderfully and our little one was feeling better than ever. Nevertheless, everything still hurt five days after the operation, but I was infinitely happy. The wedding invitations arrived today, they were wrapped with white ribbons and written with glitter. "If the wedding is as cheesy as the invitation, I'm not going," I told Maya the next day. I was allowed to slowly start working again, which I was really happy about because it was so boring at home. "Don't worry, we'll keep it simple, and we'll celebrate in the restaurant run by Vick's parents, it's going to be a small but nice thing".
"What do you think about this", Robert sat at his laptop and showed me a picture of forniture for a baby's room, it was pink and grey. I was eating a cookie with salsa sauce! "That looks good, but I don't want that pink", I took that laptop and searched  for more: "Oh, want that buggy that's cute and a fluffy blanket". "We should focus on the important things, Andy", he looked at me. "These are very important things".  "Okay just tell me which colors are pretty and the I'll look for more", he stood up gave me a kiss and took the laptop again. "But at first we need to find a dress for the wedding", he took my hand and we went to our bedroom. "But I don't have dresses that fit, I'm a whale you know", I sat down on our bed, because my feet hurt. "You do have a lot of things in your closet, maybe we'll find a good one". I tried a lot of dresses on, some fit very good but therse were unsuitable for a wedding. "Uhg, I have no idea what am I going to wear", then got an idea. I put my pink wedding dress out of my closet. "Your weddind dress? Are you sure", he smiled at me. I nodded and tried it on, it fit perfectly. "You look awesomein this dress", he came up to me and kissed me. Then we started to dance some salsa, he swung me around and held me tight in his arms. "I love you", I whispered and smiled.
It was the evening before the wedding. Maya and Carina cooked a dinner for our whole team in theire apartment. We all were in a very good mood. So we were the next morning. "Hey, can you sit up my dress", I came into our bedroom where Robert was doing his shirt. "Yes of course. You know, I'm happy that both of you are healthy now, I was really worried, especially of you". I turned around and kissed him: "I'm ok, we're okay. Nothing is gonna happen now", I smiled at him. "Okay come on we're going to a wedding.
