It was a normal average day in the purple mansion, Lewis was currently taking a small plate and cup down to the kitchen that Vivi had had a late night snack with, stupid food cravings. He placed the cup and plate in the sink and then walked up to his bedroom.

His wife, Vivi, and best pal Arthur were out doing some occasional shopping. He had offered to get the house chores done while they were out, and so far, he thought that he had done pretty well. He just had to lay the bed and finish up the last preparations on the babies room.

Lewis and Vivi don't know what gender their ghost child was, they wanted it to be a surprise, so they had settled with painting the room a light baby blue with white clouds. The ceiling, was the last thing that needed fixing, Lewis, had secretly brought a bunch of glow in the dark stars with the money his parents had given him as a gift to help with his baby.

He had planned to decorate the top of the room with the glowing stars and planets, hoping of surprising his wife when she came home. Lewis smiled and walked up towards the babies room. The door creaked open and revealed a neatly arranged room, their was a light purple baby cot to the right of the room, Vivi had abused the inside with fluffy stuffed animals and pillows

a set of drawers to the left hand side of the room, a small play pen with a few small toys and block puzzles and finally a small sofa and carpet in the bottom right hand side of the room. Lewis smiled at the room, he couldn't wait to finally meet his son or daughter. He would always be constantly reminded his wife about this whenever the two were having a little cuddle moment.

He smiled and picked up a packet of glow in the dark stars from the top of the drawers. "I hope Vivi and the baby will like these." Lewis opened the packet and poured them onto the drawers, he picked up a star and a small tube of glue. He was about to place a small blob of glue on the star when the sound of the house phone filled his ears.

"Who could that be?" Lewis said to himself as he placed the glue and Star back down. He floated down the hallway towards the living room. He turned the corner to the small black house phone, he picked it up, on the screen it read 'Arthur'. He didn't think anything off it and answered the call

"Hello?" "Lewis!! Oh thank god you answered!!" Lewis raised an eyebrow at Arthur's worried tone "Arthur? What's wrong are you okay?" Their was a slight pause and Lewis could have sworn he heard a small groan of pain on the other side of the phone.  "Lewis, get to the hospital now!!"

Lewis froze, he mentally prayed that what he thought was happening wasn't happening. "Arthur what do you me-"
"GOD SAKE MAN ITS VIVI!!! SHES GOING INTO LABOUR!!!"

Lewis gasped and dropped the phone, he quickly zoomed into the hallway and grabbed his house keys, before shooting out of the door and down the road towards the hospital.

Lewis was sitting outside the delivery room, his head was bent over his legs and his arms were wrapped tightly around him. The mere thought of Vivi giving birth to a ghost child scared him ever so slightly, what if something went wrong during the birthing? What if something happened to the baby? What if.......Vivi didn't make it?

The thought poisoned his mind. He was snapped out of his trance when he felt a warm hand rest on his shoulder. "Lewis, she's gonna be okay....." Arthur reassured him. Lewis gave a weary smile "Thanks Arthur......you being here for me really means a lot right now......"

Arthur gave him a playful punch "Hey no worries!!! I'm sure you'd do the same for m-"

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

The two men looked to the door as a babies cry echoed through the silent halls. They both shared a glance at each other before a short haired brown lady came to the door. Lewis quickly ran over to her and was sweating nervously "How is she? Is she still alive!?"
