It Needs to Happen

Chapter 51

Colleen POV

I wake up in the middle of the night short of breath. "Josh!" I gasp grabbing him waking him. He sits right up as he turns on the light beside him. "Baby?" He says grabbing me. "I am in pain babe" I say crying. "What kind of pain Colleen? Chest? Abdominal?" He asks grabbing his phone. "I can't breathe. I have pain through to my back" I say laying down. "I need an ambulance please for my wife with chest pains. She is 32 weeks pregnant" Josh says in his phone. "I can't ....." I say. "Colleen! Breathe sweetheart" he says staring at me. "Rachel get over here please" he yells into the phone. "Josh.... I .... Can't..." I gasp. Just then I get pains shooting below my belly. "Contractions" I whisper holding my stomach staring at Josh. "Colleen you getting contractions?" He asks wih fear written all over his face. I see Josh cry as he jumps up to get the paramedics at the door. I am gasping for air when I hear the paramedics run in. One immediately puts an oxygen mask on me as the other puts in an IV. I see Josh just watching from the foot of our bed sobbing as he tells them my history. "Baby" I say reaching for him. He can't come to my side as he will be in their way. He grabs my toes and runs his hands up my legs. I see Rachel run in and looks at me. She hugs Josh as he is falling apart. "Another one" I scream grabbing my belly. The paramedics lift me onto a stretcher as they place baby monitors along my stomach to monitor the baby. "These are strong ones Colleen" the paramedic says as they move me out of my room. "You have to stop them" I say to Josh. "Its too early to have Noah, Joshua" I say as Josh grabs my hand and we make our way out to the ambulance. "Colleen just worry about breathing" Josh says as he climbs in beside me. I nod and close my eyes. My chest feels so heavy as I hear machines start beeping. "Mr Evans please move. She is having a heart attack" the paramedic says. I barely open my eyes but see Josh crying as he slides and let go of my hand to let the paramedic  help me. My last thoughts are on Noah. Please let him be ok.
