"We can wait"
"Until when?" I open my eyes and my vision is blurry.
"She just got out of surgery"
"But we can't hide it from her"
"Hide what?" I say wiping my eyes. I sit up and it hurts the lower part of my stomach, but not too much. I put my hand over it as I settle myself. I gasp when I realize that I'm missing something. "Why am I not fat?"
"You're awake" Dr.Dare says walking in. "They wanted to see her, but I wouldn't let them. I wanted you to hold her first."
"Hold who?" I ask.
"Your baby girl" she smiles. I look back at my friends.
"You wanted to hide her from me?" I ask.
"No-it's not-can we see her?" Eugene says from to the doctor.
"See her, yes. Hold her, that'll be more difficult"
"Why difficult?" Rapunzel asks.
"Can I have a moment alone, with Elsa?" She asks and they nod leaving except for Anna.
"She's my niece, so whatever you're telling-"
"Anna, please" I say and Kristoff walks her out.
"Do you remember anything that happened yesterday?" She asks.
"I was bleeding" I say and she nods.
"We took you in to an emergency C-section. The baby was in a lot of stress and she came out a month earlier than expected."
"Is there something wrong with her?"
"As for mental disabilities, we won't know until she's a bit older. But for Physical, the only thing is that she isn't breathing on her own" she says.
"Not breathing? Is she okay?"
"We have her in an incubator being monitored 24/7. She may start breathing, but because of everything that's been happening she might not. All we can do is cross our fingers" she says.
"Can I see her?" I asks and she nods. She brings out a wheelchair and i fall onto it.

"Here, that's the one" she says pointing at an incubator. I roll myself towards it and that's when I see her.
"She's not moving, is she-"
"She's alright, it's probably because of the tubes." I can't help myself but to cry a little. She's so tiny, and so beautiful, but the tubes that go in her make me mad at myself. Why would I bring such a beautiful and innocent human, to a world like this? She hasn't done anything to deserve this. She's bald, for now at least, and pale like me. "You can touch her" Dare says. She hands me a glove and opens a window to the incubator where i put my arm through.
I reach in and hold her small, warm hand. Her fingers barely wrap around my pointer finger. Eugene, Rapunzel, Anna and Kristoff all walk in and awe. They were wearing pink gowns, and walked over to me. "She's so cute" Rapunzel says, "I can't wait till she grows hair, I'm going to teach her how to braid all kinds of braids."
"Wonder if she's a girly girl or a tomboy, if tomboy, I got your back" Eugene says putting a hand on my shoulder. Anna silently squeals.
"I can't believe I'm a frikin aunt" she says.
"I'm an uncle" Kristoff says.
"Any names?" Dr.Dare asks.
"Oh, a ton are going through my head. But I have to wait for...Jack" I look back at them. "Where is he? Did you find him?" They look at each other unsure of what to say and I immediately know what's wrong.
"We should head back. You need some rest, and so does the baby" Dare says. I take my hand out and she closes the incubator and begins to wheelchair me out of the room and looks back at my friends with a disappointed look.

"S-so, like another coma?" I ask.
"No..not like another coma" Dr.Allen says. "I tried my best" he looks down, "but it wasn't good enough. There was too much damage near the brain stem and bleeding.." I reach over and put my hand over his. He looks up at me and even though I'm crying I give a small smile.
"It's okay.." I say. But it's not.
"We still have 4 more hours, until he is legally considered-"
"Brain dead" I say and he nods. "C-can I be alone?" I ask and they nod. Both doctors leaves the room and I break down. "Please" I cry. "Please let him be okay, please!" Hot tears fall down my face and my stomach burns from all of the movement but I don't care. "What about me?! What about me when he leaves?? Please" I whisper the last part into my pillow, "please.."
Any baby names..?
