A Match Made in... The Walking Dead?

A Baby

Chapter 15

(Lauren's POV)

"Steven!" I yelled as he came running to me.

"What's wrong!?" He asked quickly with a look of concern on his face.

"It's the baby... I think it's coming... A month early" I slowly breathed out as I screamed in pain once more. I felt Steven pick me up bride style and quickly carry me to the car with our stuff.

"The baby can't come a month early! Can it!?" I quickly asked, scared for my baby's life.

"It can but I don't know the survival rates" he said to me with a sad tone of voice and face.

This can't be happening to me.... This has to be a dream... It has to be! Before I can say another word, I black out from being under too much stress. Or maybe it wasn't stress after all...

-8 hours later-

I kept screaming as the baby was coming

"Push Lauren, push!" Steven yelled at me as I gripped his hand. This wasn't helping.

"I'm trying!! Can't you see that!?" I screamed louder than I meant too. My heart was beatin faster and my blood pressure was going up. This can't be good.

"Just a few more pushes! I can see the head!" The doctor said as I pushed harder. I screamed on my last push and that's when I heard it. I heard the cries of our baby girl.

"It's a perfectly healthy baby girl" the doctor said as I smiled at Steven.

"Riley James Yeun" I said with a smile as Steven smiled big. He was just as happy as I was.

"6 pounds and 5 ounces" the doctor said as he weighed her.

"Do you want to cut the umbilical cord?" The doctor asked Steven as he nodded slowly. I could tell that he was nervous.

"I'm nervous. I've never done this before" Steven announced as he clipped the cord. I smiled at him as he smiled at Riley.

"Congratulations on being parents." The doctor said as I smiled.

"Do you want to hold her?" Steven asked me as I nodded slowly. I felt nauseous and I didn't fully understand why. I smiled when Steven placed little Riley James in my arms and took pictures. Our families soon arrived afterwards and started taking pictures and asking questions. This was almost too good to be true...

             -hours later-

(Stevens POV)

Lauren gained consciousness long enough to have the baby, but after she had the baby she blacked out again. She baby is perfectly fine but they want to run some tests on Lauren... I just held Riley as they wheeled Lauren down to another room where I couldn't see her.

I couldn't help but let  a few tears run down my cheeks. I love my wife so much and I want her to be ok. Hell, who wouldn't want their wife to be ok?  She didn't lose any blood or oxygen, that wasn't the reason for her blacking out. It didn't make sense... Why did she black out? She seemed perfectly healthy until everything went wrong... So wrong...

                -two hours later-

They wheeled Lauren back in and she was alert and responsive but the look on the doctors' face told me something was wrong

"What's wrong with my wife!?" I half angrily asked

"Sir, we have to tell you outside. We don't want to upset your wife"

"Upset her?? What's wrong with her!?" I asked even more frustrated as they took me outside.

(Lauren's POV)

I watched as Steven got taken outside. I heard muffled words but I could make out some stuff, such as "brain", "tumor", and "9 months". With that I assumed something was wrong... Very wrong.

When Steven came in I could tell by the look on his face that he had been crying. He had been crying hard. Just then I broke down sobbing because I knew it was bad...

I doubted that he would tell me. I didn't even want to know I had heard enough as it was.
