"Push Janelle, she is almost here! Give me one big push!" the delivery doctor excitingly shouted.
A head full of hair began to make its way into the world and out of the womb. Janelle pushed one more time and this time with all the strength left in her body. She felt a great relief as she heard the cries of her baby girl.
" Congratulations! She is a beautiful, healthy baby girl," said the doctor as she handed the baby to the new mom.
"Janiel. Her name will be Janiel Leah Rogers," said Janelle who did not seem too well.
"How are you feeling?" Asked the nurse as she began to check Janelle's vitals.
"I am feeling somewhat weak but it is normal right? Kyle was suppose to be here." Janelle replied crying.
"It's going to be okay ma'am, how about we finish here and get you and baby to your room to rest?"
Within seconds Janelle passed out. Baby Janiel was slipping out of her mother's hands as she was still in Janelle's arms. Dr.Martin quickly grabbed her. The monitors in the room started to ring off and a CODE BLUE alarm the other staff that something was indeed wrong. Doctors flooded the delivery room. Instantly the room became chaotic.
"She is not responding! We are losing her!" One doctor shouted as the team tried to control the situation.
Janelle did not respond, her heart had stopped. All of the staff in the room looked around at each other in disbelief. It was a Christmas tragedy. They had done all they could to bring her back but the unexpected death was a shock to all.
"How did this happen? What did we miss?" lead doctor, Dr. Martin asked with the new born still in her arms.
" Says here that she has Lupus, Doc. " replied nurse Jay.
"She is gone," whispered Dr. Martin.
A tear drop landed on Janiel from Dr.Martins face. Dr.Martin watched as doctors covered Janelle's lifeless body with a white sheet.
"12:45 am is the time of death." A doctor stated confirming the death.
Dr.Martin stared at the precious baby girl who had lost both parent hours apart. Janiel had the eyes of a cat and a head full for hair.
"Janiel Leah, you're a Martin now. I will protect you." she said softly running her fingers through the newborns hair.
She looked towards the deceased body one more time before turning away. She then walked out of the room closing the door behind her.
