The Accident

Bad news

My phone rings and I pick it up and walk away from them.

Emma: "Hello? Dr . Cordell?"

Dr. Cordell: "Hey Emma we have a few doctors in you're room I need you to bring Evalyn in."

Emma: "Okay" I say nervously

Dr. Cordell: "Emma it's okay we just need to give her some nutrients and speak with you." He says and then he hangs up.

I look down at the phone and then put it in my sweater pocket. I walk up to my dad and take Evalyn carefully from his arms. I smile at him and look up at Killian nervously. I then walk away to my room.

When I get to my room a doctor takes Evalyn from my arms and lay her down in a incubator.

I walk up to Dr. Cordell.

"Emma we all have something that you should know." He says nervously.

"Well two things actually." He corrects himself.

I look up at him "What is it?" I ask

"Emma we need to tell you that you may and probably won't be able to have anymore children..." He says

My whole world starts crashing down on me but I try to listen to what the doctor has to say.

"And we think that Maríe-Belle may only live for another few days." He says and that when I break.

I nod my head and then walk carefully out of the room tears burning my eyes. I walk back to the nursery to see my baby. I walk in and I already know tears are flowing uncontrollably out of my eyes.

I walk up to Maríe-Belle and give her my finger. She holds tightly onto it. I know tears are still flowing out of my eyes but I don't care. I pull my finger away carefully and then brush the hair out of Maríe-Belle's face.

I put my face in my hands and sigh. Then I hear a nock on the door. I wipe the tears off of my face and turn around and see Ilisa and Lana standing there. Ilisa walks up slowly and when she sees the baby she giggles.

"Emma she has you're nose and you're eyes. She has Killian's hair." She says and then brushes her hair.

I sigh and then see a monitor blink and then doctors walk in. They lift up the incubator and bring her into a special room. Dr. Cordell lets me in but he doesn't let anyone else. I watch as they give Maríe-Belle some milk and some vitamins and then they quickly put her mask back on.

I lean against the wall and watch as my baby breaths irregularly.

"Emma. Maríe-Belle is in alot of pain and I'm not sure if we can keep her for much longer." He says and then a monitor goes off and Maríe takes a few staggered breaths and then start to hyper ventilate.

I walk up to her and pull her in my arms and I watch as she takes her last few breaths. She opens her eyes and she looks deep into my heart and then she starts breathing normally on her own again. The monitor alarm is still going off because Maríe wasn't in the incubator but I didn't care anymore. At this point I know that my baby will survive. Of she can overcome her fate than I can overcome mine of having no more children.

Killian starts banging on the door and that makes the baby uncomfortable but when I rock her she calms down. Tears fill my eyes and they burn. They are tears of joy and a broken heart.

I look up at the doctors who are in shock. One of them opens the door for Killian. I look up at him and almost break down but I'm strong for my baby.

He walks up to me and puts his arm around me.

"We make beautiful, strong children. We should do this more often" he whispers to me.

I look up at him and then down at Maríe. I look up at Dr. Cordell. I walk over to the incubator and lay her down and put a mask on her tiny face to make sure she gets enough air. I look down at Maríe and I feel like in going to break into a million peices.

I hug Dr. Cordell and then walk out of the room, Killian following me from behind. I walk out of the nursery and to my room that has a balcony.

"Emma? Did I say something wrong?" He asks when we get to the balcony.

"No you didn't Killian. It's just when you said we make beautiful, strong children and we should make more I really agree with you." I say and look down at my feet.

"It's just.... they say that I can't have anymore children without risking mine and the baby's life." I say and look up at the him with tears burning my eyes.

He pulls me into his arms.

"They also said that Maríe-Belle might not live much longer but she just broke that fate." I whispered to him.

"So that means you can fight you're fate too Emma?" He says

"Ya I guess so but I'm not sure I'm as strong as Maríe-Belle." I say.

"No Emma you gave Maríe all of you're strength. But you still have some hidden." He says.

I put my arms around his neck. He puts his arms around me and pulls me closer to him. I look deep into his eyes and kiss him.
