Chapter Four | Birthday

Before you knew it you were being rushed off of the base in an ambulance to the nearest hospital with an OB unit, Finn and Rey in a car not too far behind you. Just as the day you found out you were pregnant you had the two disks strapped to your belly, one green jagged green line measuring your baby's heart beat and one more stable black line measuring your contractions. You had gone into early labor, way early labor, contractions and everything. The doctor assessed you and when she found out she had you rushing out the door and into an ambulance, not listening to your pleas and cries to keep you on the base, although you knew it was for the best.

Once inside and settled, both of the lines making frequent sharp and tall valleys and peaks, you borrowed the doctor's phone to give Finn a call.

"Good evening Dr. Paige, how are you doing?"

"Hey, Finn. It's, um. It's me, it's y/n." You had composed yourself by the time the doctor had made it to your house, acting brave and like nothing was happening, like you hadn't spent the last 20 minutes sobbing and mourning the loss of your still alive child. But now, speaking to Finn for the first time since everything started, you could feel your seams tearing one by one.

"Y/n? What are you-wait, no. Is everything okay?"

"No, not really."

"Why did you call me on the doctor's phone? What's wrong?"

"Well um...it's the baby." You had to stop yourself right there as two tears fell from your eyes, your doctor was sitting not too far from you on a stationary bench in the back of the ambulance. She was staring off into the empty space pretending like she wasn't listening to the conversation you were having on her phone. She had her hands balled against her mouth, you could tell she was stressed out.

"The baby? What's wrong with the baby? Do I need to come home?"

"Well you don't need to come home, you need to-" You had to stop speaking for just a second while you were hit with another contraction. As it hit you the black line spiked, confirming your uterus had contracted just as it had been for the past hour or so. "Y/n? Y/n?!"

"Sorry! No, I'm not at home. I'm in an ambulance." Your voice cracked, reality hit you once more and the beginnings of sobs left your throat and seeped through the mouth piece of the phone.

"You're in an ambulance? Going where?" Finn was panicking, his voice was rising and you could hear his coworkers in the background asking if everything was okay.

"The hospital, I'm-I'm going to the hospital they took me to when I passed out at the zoo." You wiped your eyes as Finn told you he'd be leaving work immediately and heading down to the hospital. Rey just so happened to be visiting him too so she'd be tagging along. You didn't care, the entire base could be on their way to your hospital room for all you cared. You just wanted you and your baby to be safe.

After arriving at the hospital a nurse and a midwife watched your charts intently, no one else on the planet mattered more than you and your baby. You were never alone, between Finn and Rey and the nurses and the midwife someone was always in your room with you. You never had the option to cry by yourself. Your outcome was never good, the midwife never gave you any good news. She started out telling you that you were, indeed, in labor ten weeks early. They couldn't tell you what happened, what went wrong to have you start contracting, but their one and only goal was to stop it before you had to deliver.

You got steroid shots, you had to lay as still as you could in the hospital bed on your left side, you drank several glasses of water and were forced to empty your bladder into a bedpan to avoid getting out of bed.

But nothing stopped it. Your contracts were coming and coming, refusing to let up. You looked desperately on at the midwife as she checked your cervix for the third time during your three hour hospital stay. Her face fell extremely flat as she explained things were getting bad, you were six centimeters dilated and when you came in you were only 1.
