EMILY'S POV

I'm really starting to worry about Aria. She's been complaining of a headache all night long, I've suggested we go to the hospital and get  her checked out. I wouldn't worry so much but Aria is 9 months pregnant, I'm just worried something could be wrong with her the baby or both. "EM" I hear her yell. I take off upstairs

"I'm right here what's wrong?" Something is wrong I need to go to the hospital. "Okay let's get you downstairs. Take it slow. That's it . What's wrong?"  My head it feels like a balloon. I just don't feel good. I tell her. "Okay I got the bag. Let's go."

"I've run some test and it seems that you have preeclampsia." What? I asked scared. I mean I know what it is but what's that mean for my baby? What does that mean for her? I ask starting to cry. Emily squeezes my hand. "She's going to be fine, you're full term . We just need to get her out before something does happen. The sooner the better. Id like to do a C-Section. As soon as possible. " Wait my mom and Mikes not here. "I'll call them Ari"  Emily told me. Okay I say giving consent for the surgery. "I'll give you time to make calls and go get everything ready."

EMILY'S POV

I'm out in the hallway trying to get a hold of Mike and Ella but I'm having no luck. I leave messages for one of them to get back to me as soon as possible. I head back into the room.... "Did you get them?" Uhhh no but don't worry ok I've left messages for them to get back to me as they can. Don't worry okay they'll call soon. Try not to get to worked up. Just relax. You're about to become a mommy. I say trying to comfort her. You're not alone I'm going to be right here the whole time. The doctor and nurses run in . We're ready. The nurse hands me some scrubs "put these on and I'll come and get you when we're ready. Okay I say wiping tears away. I give Aria a kiss on her cheek. I'll be with you soon. I tell her. "Thank you for being here Em" I wipe her tears away there's no place I'd rather be. I tell her as they take her away.

I get dressed into the scrubs that were given to me. As I finish my phone rings it's Mike oh thank god! I say to myself. Em what's wrong? Oh thank god you and Ella need to get here like now. Umm Aria she was really sick so um brought her in and um it had something to do with her placenta. They just took her back for emergency surgery. I'm waiting to go in. "Oh my god" I hear him running down the stairs. "MOM it's Aria! They just took her back for emergency surgery. Something to do with her placenta."Emily is on the phone. "OH MY GOD EMILY!!!! IS ARIA OKAY??" I explain what happen. I can tell she's crying. "Please give her a kiss for me. We'll be there soon, and Emily thank you".  You're welcome I have to go I'll send you pictures. I hang up.

ARIA'S POV

Everything has happen so fast. The anesthesiologist asks me if I can feel what dr Miller is doing. I tell her no. Soon after Emily comes in and sits by my side. She kisses me on my forehead. "That's from your mom. She and Mike are on their way. I pull out my phone and Aria's Camara. I get video and pictures." Start time? Dr Miller asked.  2:15 am a nurse tells me. "Aria we've started. Your baby girl will be here very soon.." Okay I can't help but cry.  Emily is doing a really good job at taking pictures and video for my mom. "You're doing so good Ari!" Em tells me. "Aria in just a few minutes you're going to feel some pulling and tugging and some pressure that's just us delivering her." Okay. I say nervously awaiting my baby girl. Seconds later I feel an extreme amount of pressure and shortness of breath Uhhhh...."you're doing amazing!" Emily tells me. One of the nurses comes to me and tells me "sweetie that's normal" she tells Emily to stand up if she wants to get pictures and video. "Head delivered at 2:34 am" a nurse said.  "Beautiful little face" dr Miller tells us. "Oh I see her Ari she's beautiful!" Emily cries. I'm beyond the point of tears. Soon little baby cries fill the room."2:35 am" a nurse says  I'm over come with such joy and emotion. Emily is snapping pictures.  "Say hi mommy and auntie!" Dr Miller says. Oh my baby I say tears streaming down my face.

Emily brings her back to me. A nurse helps her lay my baby on my chest. "7lbs 15 ounces and 19 inches long" Emily tells me. Hi baby girl I'm your mommy and I love you so much! I tell her as tears stream down my face. She looks like my baby pictures. I say proudly. Emily snaps a picture of me holding her. Then the nurse snaps a picture of the 3 of us. "Do I get to know her name now?" Emily asks with a smile. Auntie Emily I'd like you to meet Emma Shae. I say proudly. I wanted her to have a strong name. I wanted to name her after one of the strongest people that I know, but I also wanted her to have her own name. Emma is a form of Emily. You're one of the strongest people I know Em. Emily has tears threatening to escape her eyes. "I don't know what to say?"  You don't have to say anything. I tell her. I do have one more question. I tell her. Well it's not really a question. I'd like you to be her godmother. I tell her. I can tell she is speechless. "Me? Why me?" Because I trust you with my life. It's not that I don't trust the others it's just that Hanna is married she has her own life. Ali she's still having problems. I know I can trust you to take care of her. I know I can trust the others to but I can't explain it. I know you have your own life to live. "Ari stop I'd be honored!" Thank you! I say crying. "What's the meaning behind Shae?" Spencer Hanna Alison Emily Shae. "Oh my god!"
