Memphis Moon

Chapter 14

Sam! Kol calls for the firemen to come into the house and help me. One asks how far along am I? 7 months almost 8. Please save my son, I don't care about myself! The first fireman said, calm down, we are going to take care of you. His name was Derek, Derek Haynes. He called for another fireman to come over to help. The second fireman was Demond, he brought over a case with a lot of medical equipment in it.

Kol is almost hysterical, just telling me he loves me and that he needs me. Derek says it looks like we are going to have an early baby; No, it's too early he won't.... The ambulance is on the way, don't worry just focus on the baby.

I need you to calm down and breath. Concentrate on your son. I need you to do exactly as I say ok Sam? Yes, I will do anything. Ok ready, you gonna have to push now. We need to get him out and to the hospital.

Kol please help me, I don't want him to die.... Sam, I am gonna need you to push! Baby push, we are going to be just fine, push! Sam, you are doing just fine. Push again, I can see the head. Sam, baby keep going! I can hear the ambulance! I'm going to meet them, no Kol don't leave me, I need you please!

God, this hurts so bad Kol! So much pain, I can't push anymore! Ok, baby I won't go anywhere.... Sam, push one more time! Demond asked for a big one! Ugh.... Kol, Kol the baby, why isn't he crying?

Is he? Say something! Sam, he is beautiful and smiling.... Sam, he is fine! Derek, the fireman that came in to help said, we need to get you and the baby to the hospital right now. Demond stayed in the back of the ambulance with us as we were transported to the hospital.

My son, how is he? Despite that he is so early, this little guy looks good. He is clearly a fighter. The doctor will let you know how well he is when he looks at this guy. Thank you so much, thank God for you Demond, and Derek being here tonight.

The doctor is coming in, Ms. Smith and Mr. Martin? Yes, your son is doing.... Well! Oh, my God Kol! Ms. Smith, you are also doing well despite that your pressure was quite high. All I can say is you must have been doing exactly what your doctor told you because your son is doing better than most premature babies born this early.

We of course will be keeping an eye on him for the next couple of weeks and you too. Try not to overdo it. Right now, he is being monitored and is in very good hands so get some rest. I will be back later to check in on you. Kol, can you believe it. Our son will be fine! I love him so much, I had no idea how much I did until I thought we would lose him.

We have got to call mama, the girls, and Nell! God, we came for a shower and it looks like we will be in Memphis for a while now. Will that work with your work schedule? Sam, don't worry about that now, don't worry about anything. Baby, I am just glad you are ok. I thought I was going to lose you and Chase for a second.

That was the scariest moment I have ever lived through. You were willing to just die if Chase was ok! I am so happy that I will have you both forever. Kol, I will always be yours, until the day I stop breathing. Let's go see Chase now!

You should be careful now. I don't want anything to happen to either of you. Mama! Baby! I am so happy you and the baby are ok. When Kol called me I almost fell out! Where is my grandson? He is in the NIC unit resting and doing fine!

Sam what happened? Mama, you won't believe it. Sam, baby I don't want you thinking about that right now, I need you to concentrate on getting better to go back home and take care of Chase. Mama all I can say is it involved Alisha!

Ok, I will let you rest and you can tell me all about it later. Can I go to see the baby now? You can look through the glass for now. You can't hold him yet ok? Mama will be right back. Kol? Yes mama, can I get you something son? You are a Godsend, the way you have taking care of my baby girl.... I can't tell you enough how much I love you for it.
