"Hi, Ms. Knowles." My doctor said to me as he walked in with four other people behind him. I laid in the hospital bed with my parents on one side of me and Darron, Tanya, Tae, and Mariah on the other side of me. The only person missing was Jay. I had no clue where he was but I hoped he made it in time to see me give birth to our daughter.

"Hi.." I said weakly. I couldn't really talk because of the pain I was in and all the anxiety I was feeling at the moment. I knew something was wrong – everyone did. The problem was trying to figure out what's wrong.

My doctor cleared his throat and looked at me, "I don't want to talk too much because we need to get you going, but because the baby's heart rate is dropping tremendously fast, we have to operate an emergency C-Section."

"What?" My mother asked in panic, "What's about to happen?"

"Well my team here will have to wheel Ms. Knowles into the OR where she will be given an IV in her arm and an epidural as well. Things will move pretty quickly and because the baby's heart rate isn't normal, we have to get things going now. Family, you can wait out in the waiting room and we will have someone from our staff to update you guys on what is happening."

I didn't know what to do or say – it wasn't nothing for me to say. Before I could even tell my family goodbye, they were wheeling me out of the room and into the OR.

Jay's POV

I walked inside Henry Grady's hospital, instantly spotting Tanya and Tae along with everyone else. I gave Beyoncé's parents a hug and giving Darron a handshake. I gave Tanya and Tae a hug as well before taking a seat next to them two.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I'm coming from the other side of town and didn't expect traffic to be this heavy. Did they say anything? What happened?"

Beyoncé's mother looked at me, "They are performing an emergency C-Section. Said that the baby's heart rate had dropped and wasn't normal."

I could feel my heart crushing into pieces when I heard that. I at least wanted to see Beyoncé before they did anything, but I guess I was too late.

"Damn.." I mumbled to myself as I thought about my baby and how she was doing. Beyoncé doesn't like expressing herself, but I know she was scared out of her mind because I would be too.

Nearly thirty minutes later, a white woman with dark brown hair was walking towards us in her scrubs. "Family of Beyoncé Knowles?" She said. We all nodded our heads as we waited for her to give an update.

"Well, they finally started the C-Section. They ran into other complications, but things should run smoothly from here and so forth. Is Shawn Carter here?" She asked. I immediately stood up hearing my name.

She smiled at me, "You're the father, right?"

I nodded my head, "Yeah. I can go back there, right?"

"Great and yes! Ms. Knowles has been asking about you. You are allowed to be in the room while the procedure is being done, but it's all up to you."

"Oh, definitely." I said.

"Okay, well follow me." I followed the nurse down these long ass hallways. She looked back at me and smiled, "So you will have to wear scrubs while back here. It's a hygiene safety routine. Soon as the baby is born, you are allowed to be with the doctors while they weigh her and run a few tests. After that, everything should be fine. They will stitch Ms. Knowles up and she'll be moved into another room. After 30 minutes of being in the room, family is allowed to come in and visit. Sounds good?"

I was confused as hell but I nodded my head anyway. I was nervous as if I was the one having the baby. I guess the anxiety of it all. I didn't want Beyoncé to deal with this alone so I'm happy that I'm able to be back here with her.
