Leigh groaned to herself as she was rushed into hospital. She groaned in pain as she was rushed in. She looked to tom as he took a hold of her hand as a contraction hit her. She could feel the tears roll down her face. She was scared "it's too early" Leigh said as Tom looked to her and smiled "I know but it's going to be okay, our baby is going to be okay I promise you. I am here for you and she is going to be okay" tom said as Leigh looked to him with tears in her eyes "what If I loose her, I wish my mum was here" she sobbed as Tom placed a hand on her cheek and smiled "I know, it's going to be okay though. Your going to be okay as your a fighter and she is just like her mummy and she is going to be fine" Tom said as Leigh looked to him and groaned in pain as she felt a contraction hit her

"Leigh, I need you to push at the next contraction" the midwife said as Leigh nodded. She felt the contraction hit her and pushed for a few minutes as she felt relief and frowned as she heard silence as she saw the doctors and nurses working on her baby and frowned "Is she okay" she asked as she was rushed off to the icu "Leigh, your baby is struggling to breathe on her and it's why she hasn't cried but she is going to be okay. We are rushing her off to the icu" the nurse said as Leigh nodded. Leigh could feel the tears rolled down her face. She was scared and didn't know what to do. Tom smiled to her as he pulled her into a hug "she is going to be okay" Tom said

I know that you are going to be a great mum but you need to be strong for her and we need a name for her" "I have one, maybe" "what's that?" Charlee asked as Leigh smiled "Polly, Polly-mae" Leigh said as Charlee smiled "its perfect and it's all going to be okay" Charlee said as Leigh looked to her and smiled
