Callie POV 

I was in a  hospital room, I saw nurses rushing around the room. Brandon stood across the room watching them, he looked so scared. another pain took over my body. I cried out in pain, the nurse came over and adjusted my IV then I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up and saw Brandon sitting next to my bed, holding my hand. he watched me wake up, my eyes adjusted tot the light.

Brandon- hey

Callie- whats going on?

Brandon- just relax okay

Callie- Brandon.. what.. what's happening.. my baby

Brandon- shh.. its okay.. the baby's okay

the doctor came in

Doctor- how you feeling Callie?

Callie- what happened?

Doctor- you were going into labor Callie, you were having contractions

Brandon- but its way to early, shes only six months..

Doctor- yeah it is too early, the baby couldn't survive at this point.. that's why we are doing everything we can to keep you from delivering

Callie- but everything's okay now?

Doctor- we stopped the labor for now, we need to keep you here for awhile and make sure your stable

Brandon- why did this happen, what made her go into early labor?

Doctor- no one knows for sure what causes early labor, but it could be anything from over working, stress..

Brandon POV

I followed the doctor out to the hallway. I could tell he had more to say but didn't want to upset Callie.

Brandon- how serious is this really?

Doctor- Callie is in a very fragile state right now, she could be fine and carry the baby to term, she could just as easily go into labor again

Brandon- if she goes into labor again can't you just give her more drugs to stop it?

Doctor- we can't do much more, if we give her too much it will hurt the baby 

Brandon- oh God

Doctor- look I know this isn't a good time but we need you to sign this consent form

Brandon- what is it?

Doctor- it gives us permission to do an emergency c-section on Callie if her condition gets worse

Brandon- you can't, the baby won't survive

Doctor- we have too

I flashed back to a  conversation I had with Callie earlier

Flashback

Callie laid in the hospital bed, propped up a little. I sat next to her, she was so fragil right now but still fighting with me.

Callie- I mean it Brandon!

Brandon- Callie..

Callie- don't Brandon! no matter what happens don't you sign any papers!

Brandon- we can always have another..

Callie- no! I want this baby.. don't sign anything! promise me

Flashback ended

the doctor held the form out to me but I didn't take it

Brandon- what.. what happens if you don't do the c-section?

Doctor- if she goes into labor again we have to do the c-section.. or we lose Callie

I took the papers from him and signed them
