Chase's POV.

"Britney? Where are you, sweetheart?" I asked quietly as I went into her room to see her sitting on her bed, facing the wall as I sighed, sitting besides her.

"Baby, look at me." I told her as she turned her head towards me. "Look, some things are gonna change soon. And I need you to be OK with other people having my attention."

"Why things have to change? Why not me and you, forever, and ever, and ever?"

"Because. One day, you might get a mommy, like your cousins. You'd like that, wouldn't you?" 

"I guess." She huffed and I sighed.

"Also, baby, in a few months...you're gonna be a big sister."

"How? With no mommy, no baby...unless..." She trailed off, looking at my stomach and raised her eyebrow, making me jump and wrap my arms around myself.

"No, Daddy can't have a baby."

"Then where is baby coming from?"

"Look, sometimes, mommies and daddies aren't able to take care of babies, so other people, like me, take care of them, and they'll be your younger sibling. Do you understand?" I asked, stroking her hair as she laid on my chest while yawning, making me chuckle.

"Looks like someone needs a nap."

She crawled under her covers as I tucked her in, kissing her forehead.

"Get some rest, baby."

Skylar's POV.

Today was the day Oliver and I were finding out the gender of our baby, and as soon as Alexandra got back from her trip, she was immediately informed about Elijah, which, it turns out, Chase was wrong, surprisingly, and his lungs were not only small and underdeveloped, but there was the beginning of a infection in them, so he was now under 24/7 watch.

"Alright Skylar." Alexandra said, snapping me out of my thoughts while Oliver held my hand. "Are you two ready to find out the gender of your baby?"

We both nodded as she put the gel on my stomach and placed the doppler on it, as we heard the heartbeat, making us both smile before Alexandra announced.

"You're having a girl. Congratulations." 

I sat up, wiping the gel off my stomach before Kaz ran in there, tears evident in his eyes as my husband went to go comfort him.

"Kaz, what's wrong?"

"Elijah... He stopped breathing." He managed as I got up and we all ran to the incubator where Elijah was and Bree was on her knees beside it, crying her eyes out and tears welled up in mine as I covered my mouth.

"No..."

Chase came down a few seconds later, a smile on his face before it was immediately replaced by a face of shock.

My husband took a deep breath as he said to everyone.

"Stand back."

We all did, Kaz helping Bree up as he raised his hands in the air.

"Bois Thantios! Thantitois Bois!"

Then the Caduceo symbol appeared over his head, glowing in blue as two large streams of blue reached Elijah and Oliver started shaking, breathing labored breaths before he finally stopped and Elijah's heart monitor started again as Bree started crying in relief.

"O-oliver, how did you do that?" I asked in shock before turning around and seeing Oliver passed out on the ground, making me scream.

"OLIVER!"
