Josh pov

I am hugging Colleen tight after I hear the baby cry. My wife has sacrificed everything for us, for me. I am eternally grateful. I see Tara walk beside us and bends down to Colleen. "Colleen you have a baby boy... Congrats" she says smiling. I look down at Colleen and start to cry from joy. "Tara her lips!" I scream. She is pale in my arms. Her lips are white. "Tara call 911. She is bleeding excessively. I can't stop it" Katie says. "Oh my god baby! Hang on ok?" I say backing away from her as Katie and Tara work on her. Rachel is sobbing holding my hand. I am in a nightmare. Rachel runs down the hall and opens the door for the paramedics. She comes running down with them as they work on her. I sit down on the floor close to passing out. Rachel is holding my face. "Josh she will be fine buddy. Come on" Rachel says. "Loosing her. Lets move" I hear a paramedic say as they put chest patches on her and start giving her chest compressions as they run out with her. "She is dying. I killed her" I mutter as my brain becomes foggy. I feel weak. "Tara! Josh is passing out" Rachel says as I lay down on the floor. "Joshua enough. Colleen needs you" Tara says sternly grabbing my shoulders. I nod and cry. She hugs me and pulls me up. "I got the baby" says Tricia. "I didn't even know you were here" I say. "I just walked in. She will be good Josh. Go!" She says holding our son. I look down at him and he is such a Ballinger. I smile. Colleen will be so thrilled. Rachel pulls my arm and knocks me out of my trance. "Lets go!" She says as we run out to our car to follow.
"She is so weak from all the blood loss. It will repair itself. Its a waiting game. We are trying to keep her system 'quiet' so to speak. She needs time to mend" the surgeon says. "We located her bleed in her uterus and removed it. She cannot have anymore children" he continues. I nod. "She is down the hall on the right, room 426" he says as myself and her entire family follow me. I walk into her room an emotional mess. She looks at me as I come into the room and smiles. She looks sleepy. "Hey baby" I say grabbing her hand. "Hi babe" she says weakly. Her parents and family all talk to her and hug her. Until finally they leave me alone with her. "Joshua, the baby... What was it?" She asks. I look at her with tears. "You gave us our second son babe" I say. She nods and cries. "He is amazing and big" I say. "What should we name him babe?" She asks me. "Brayson?" I say rubbing her cheek. She smiles and nods. "Brayson Timothy Evans... Love it" she says closing her eyes sleeping with a smile on her face.
