BONUS CHAPTER 2

THE WEDDING (Part 2)

"Lauren! What's wrong?" Lee screams!

"I..I think I'm in labour," she says quietly.

She looks deathly pale!

"Someone call 911!" I say.

"On it!" Says Chad from behind Noah pointing to his cell next to his ear.

"No! We're not waiting. Noah, help me get her to the car."

"Lee, you sure that's a good idea?" He replies.

"There's a hospital a few blocks away. It'll be a lot faster than waiting for an ambulance!"

Noah hesitates, not sure what to do.

"Noah we are wasting time! I'm not going to risk losing this baby! Now help me or get out of the way!" Lee yells, getting more and more distressed.

"Noah go! We'll be right behind you!" I shout.

Finally, they gather Lauren up and rush to the elevator. Once they're gone and the shock starts to wear off, I realise I'm still on the ground and Renee is yelling at me to get up.

"We need to go Elle!"

Then dad appears from behind her.
"Go, we will sort everything here then meet you at the hospital."

We get down to the basement carpark and jump in Chad and Renee's rental. June comes with us too.

"Someone needs to ring mum and dad," says Chad from the driver's seat.

"Oh, yeah, of course, I'll ring them now," Renee replies.

When we get to the hospital we go straight to the front desk and ask about Lauren. There's no news so we are told to take a seat in the waiting area.

"Miss, are you ok?" The receptionist asks me while looking down at my dress and for the first time, I realise there's blood all down the front of it.

"I..I'm ok, it's not mine," I say somberly.

She gives me a sympathetic smile and assures us someone will be down once there's more information. While we're waiting Laurens parents arrive, Chad lets them know what happened and I notice them pale at the sight of my dress.

A little while later Noah steps out of the elevator. We all stand up bombarding him with questions, wanting to know what's happening.

He holds up his hands to silence everyone.

"They're taking her into theatre to deliver the baby by cesarean. Lee's with her, but I'm afraid I don't know any more than that.

All we can do is wait.

"How are you?" Noah asks me, taking off his jacket and putting it over my shoulders.

"I've been better," I say, trying to smile.

"It's ok, I'll get you a new dress and...."

"Hey, hey, don't worry about that, we can get married any time, I just want Lauren and the baby to be ok," I say smiling at him.

"Man I love you so much!"

"Right back at ya," I say snuggling into him.

During the wait dad and Meredith arrive with Brad. Chad keeps pacing back and forth, his mum keeps telling him to sit down but then five minutes later he's back up pacing again. Renee is the quietest I've ever seen her and I can see the worry etched all over her face.

I wish there was more we could do, I feel so helpless just sitting here.

Then after what seems like hours, Lee finally walks through the elevator doors with a bundled up little person in his arms. We all swarm him trying to get a look at the baby, asking how Lauren is? Wanting to know if it's a boy or girl?
