Jermaine POV
It's 12 noon and I'm holding Janet's hand my baby was in labor and has been pushing for over two hours she been in labor for over 24 hours it moved slowly but now she was finally able to push I knew my baby was exhausted
Jermaine: you've got this baby *he kisses her head*
Doctor Ed: push janet big push
Janet bears down and pushes the best she can
As she pushes the nurse ( her name will Ashley)notices something
Nurse Ashley: doctor
Doctor Ed: yes
Nurse Ashley: her heart rate is dropping and so are the babies
Doctor Ed: stop pushing Janet
She stops pushing
Doctor Ed: we are going to have to take a different route you've been in labor a long time and you've been pushing for two hours and I know your exhausted*he looks at them*
Jermaine: what do you suggest doctor
Doctor Ed: she's not going to be able to push them out and their heart rate and hers is dropping we need to do an emergency c section right now
Janet looks at Jermaine
Jermaine: it's going to be okay baby *he holds her hand*
Doctor Ed: Jermaine will you come with me I'm going to give you a suit to put on

They wheel janet into the operating room while Jermaine changes
After 10 mins Jermaine and doctor  Ed and his team come in

They numb janet so she can't feel anything

As they start the c section Jermaine rubs Janet's head trying to keep her calm
After a few minutes they pull the first baby out
