I watched helplessly as the doctors continued to work on Bee. The medicine finally kicked in and her screaming that tortured me finally stopped. I looked on as Bee lay unconscious and the doctors continued to work on her in a hurried way. One of the doctor's working on Bee walked out of the room and stopped in front of me.

"Mr. Carter, your wife's condition is getting worse quickly and I need your permission to do a cesarean birth due to the fact that she is heavily sedated and you are her husband, so I would like your permission to start this surgery." The doctor said as he looked me straight in my eyes. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Do anything you can to save my wife and our child. But give it to me straight doc, how risky is this surgery?" I said as I took a deep breath.

"To be honest, the longer we hold off on this surgery, the riskier it gets for both your wife and the child. Right now, due to the fact that your wife is heavily sedated and her heart beat keeps fluctuating, the only way to give your child a chance at survival would be to prep for the cesarean birth. Mrs. Carter's health can't be determined as of yet, but as of now she appears strong enough to undergo this surgery and pull through." The doctor said as he looked at me and gave it to me straight. I didn't even think twice on my decision because I know that if Bee were conscious, no matter the risk for her life, she would save the life of our child.

"Do what you got to do doc. Please just try your damn hardest to bring both my wife and child through safely." I said as tears streamed down my face. The doctor nodded then turned on his heels and walked back into the operating room. I looked at Beyonce's peaceful looking face. I couldn't imagine life without her. I placed my head on the glass of the door and started to sob uncontrollably. I prayed to God that be it his will my wife and child would be safe. I prayed that he would not cut either's life short because they were still needed in a big way. I opened my eyes and stared at Bee as the doctor's began the surgery. I felt a hand rub the back of my head as I turned around with my blood shot red eyes.

"It's going to be alright sweetheart. Beyonce is strong and she will pull through this." Mama Tina said as she looked through the door at her daughter. I couldn't figure out how she was being so strong.

"How can you be so sure? The woman I love with every fiber of my being is lying there unconscious being operated on to save not only her life but also our child's. This is not how it was supposed to ing be. I was supposed to be in there with her holding her hand as she pushed and yelled at me that she would never have sex with me again. I was supposed to watch as our child entered this world. This shit right here isn't right." I said as I looked at Mama Tina and broke down. She just nodded her head at me in understanding and listened to me vent.

"Come here baby." She said as she opened her arms to me. I walked forth and collapsed in her arms crying. I didn't care that men weren't supposed to cry or about anything. All I could think about would be the void that I could not live with if something went wrong. The fame and fortune didn't mean shit to me without Bee and my child. I looked back to the window when I heard a machine beeping frantically. I peered through the window as I watched Bee's heart rate drop at a frantic rate.
