Saved By You- A Demi Lovato Fanfiction

Chapter 74 part 1-3

Demi POV
My parents finally get here after flying in. I say hi to Maddie and Dallas and then they take the kids out of the room so that I can talk to my parents. Once the door closes I start crying, soaking my dads shirt. "It's okay." My mom says. I shake my head and blow my nose. "What did the doctor say?" My dad says as I lean against him. "He said the surgery is gonna be another four hours. He's okay for now.. The bullet went straight through his ribs... He's not gonna make it for the birth." "It's okay... He'll be awake before you know it... He's strong and he's not gonna leave you guys because of one little bullet." My dad says. I nod. "Will you guys stay in the room with me when it's time?" "Of course." They both say. I nod, feeling a little better but still nervous. Four hours left of surgery... Fours hours of potential screw ups... Four hours of not knowing if I'll ever get to talk to my husband again... Four hours not knowing if he'll ever get to meet his son... "How are you doing?" My mom asks. "Okay... Just got the epidural before you guys came in... Six centimeters along." I say. "Okay... It's getting late. Why don't you try to sleep." My mom says. "I doubt it.." She gives me a look. "I'll try... I love you guys." I say hugging them. They leave saying they'll go get the kids so they can start to fall asleep too and I lay back in the bed... Colton's strong... He'll make it through this. We all will.

Demi POV
"Another big push..." My doctor says. Five hours later and I'm finally about my meet my son. I realized at this moment it's not about anyone else but my son. I put everything aside for now and will worry about what's going on afterwards. The surgeon came in telling us that Colton was out of surgery. He's still breathing and that's all I cared about. I know if Colton could talk to us he would tell me to forget about him long enough to bring our son into the world. My dad and mom stayed with me the whole eight hours I was in labor. I ended up telling the kids about Colton. Corey was crying and Kenzie didn't really understand. They went home cause it's one in the morning and Corey just wanted to go to sleep after finding out. Dallas took them and will bring them back first thing in morning. I must say, after having Kenzie this one is easier. I know what to expect and I got an epidural for this one. I didn't with Kenzie. I hear the doctor say one more. He lets me take a minute break. I tell him when I'm ready. I give two more big pushes and then watch them lay my son on top of my stomach. Screams fill the room and I can't help but cry. I'm a softie when it comes to my kids. The doctor cuts his chord and then holds him up for us to see before taking him over to the back to get cleaned off. "Great job." My mom says. "Thank you." I say smiling a little. I watch as they clean him off and wrap him in a white blanket and blue beanie while they finish with me. I finally get to relax my legs. They bring him over and I hold him for the first time. I look down at my sleeping son in his arms. "Can you do me a favor." I ask my mom. She nods. "Can you go find the doctor and ask him when I can go see Colton." "I will but you need to rest honey..." "I know mom. I'll be fine... Please." "... Okay." Her and my dad walk out. "I'll be right back with the birth certificate." The nurse says. I nod and look at my son again, pulling his beanie up a little to reveal brown hair. I look at him and start thinking of what I really wanna name him...

Demi POV
I wake up around ten o'clock in the morning. I look around and see my mom, dad, Dallas, Maddie, Corey and Kenzie. Kenzie realizes I'm awake first. "Mommy..." She says getting up. I nod at my dad and he lifts her up to lay with me. She cuddles into me. "Good morning." I say to her. I smile at Corey. "You okay?" He doesn't say anything. I know he's upset about his dad. We all are. "When are they gonna bring him in?" I ask. "Whenever you wake up. Press the button and she'll come in." I nod and press it. Then the doctor walks in but not my doctor. Colton's. I sit up and Kenzie does too but doesn't pay attention. She play with the tips of my hair and the hospital gown. Everyone listens. "Early this morning Colton's heart monitor started to go go flat..." My heart breaks and my mom looks down at Corey and pulls him close knowing he knows what's going on. "We noticed a bleed in his brain." He says. I look at him confused. "He got shot in the ribs... Why would that affect his brain?" "We think he hit his head falling down... Good news is he's stable... And he's woken up." My eyes widen. "Bad news?" I ask. "... He doesn't remember anything." "... Anything about what happened or..." He shakes his head. "Nothing... We asked him questions and he knew nothing..." "It's not permanent though... Right?" I ask. "We're not sure for right now... You are allowed to go see him if you want. He's awake." I nod and he leaves. "Can you please... Just take the kids home..." I say. My dad nods and picks up Kenz. Corey takes my moms hand and walks out. Maddie and Dallas decide to go with them to give me some alone time. As they leave, the nurse comes in with my son... Im told that were both being released tomorrow. She hands him to me and then leaves. I look at him and start to cry knowing that he has so much of Colton's looks and traits. I look at him and smile, rubbing his hair back. I kiss his nose softly. "I love you CJ..."
