Kristie's POV
I was trying to control my breath thinking if I should do another test to be sure. Rachel and I have been trying to get pregnant for a little while after a miscarriage six months ago. I didn't want to get her hopes up, she was so good to me and I failed her.
"Babe? Kris, are you here?" I heard her arriving to our department. I had to make a choice, after all we promised to be together in the whole process. I couldn't take moments like these from her and I knew I needed her comfort, she was the only one who could calm me down. I sighed while I rushed to the toilet to throw up for the third time in the morning.
"Here Rachie, in the bathroom" I said in a weak voice, knowing she will hear me anyway.
"You don't look too good babe, do you want me to call the doctor for you? What about a tea?" It warmed Kristie's heart how much her fiancé cared about her. Once again, she understand she meant everything to Rachel and the feelings were mutual.
"I think I might be pregnat babe" She felt how Rachel hug her and help her clean up while making a call to their specialist to see what were the results.

Rachel's POV
Rachel was mad at herself for being so overprotective. Kristie was 5 month pregnant with their baby and couldn't understand how essential was to rest for her and the baby. Sure, she understand how her fiancé was anxious and needed to kick some ball to distressed herself but it was getting too much for her and it was visible how much Kristie was struggling to keep up. She was pushing herself and that wasn't good.
"Baby, why don't you sit in the sidelines for scrimmage, you don't look so good and the heat isn't helping" It was true. The Houston heat was way hotter than usual and everyone seemed drained, she hoped Kristie would buy it and sit for a couple of minutes.
"Don't worry Rachie, I will take it easy" Kristie said with a hand in her stomach. The English girl sighed and nodded, trying to avoid a fight with her hormonal partner. She caressed her girlfriend's womb and gave her a peck, trying to keep herself calm for her fiancé's sake.
The scrimmage was intense, which wasn't something Rachel expected because of the weather. Everything was going smoothly until Kristie got a ball and someone tackled her without meaning to. She fell on the side of her belly and let out a yelp showing how much it hurt her.
"KRISTIE!!" Rachel ran to her fiancé's side grabbing her hand trying to console her while the medical staff examined her.
"Everything looks okay but no more training for her Rachel, we have to take on count a fall like this can be dangerous for both of them" Kristie was silently crying while her girlfriend grabbed her hand trying to keep her calm and at the same time reassuring myself that both of the most important persons of my life were okay. I told Coach practice was over for us and helped my fiancé out of the field an into the dressing room knowing that the team still had 45 minutes of practice to go. I help Kristie on some comfy clothes and we made our way to the car. Kristie didn't speak, but I knew she felt guilty about the whole situation. On the top of everything she was still sobbing on the way home not matter what I said, she was destroyed. Once we got home we went to our room and cuddled.
"Babe, the baby is okay. You are okay, you are both here with me, it's okay Love, it was bad luck. Why don't we get some sleep, hmm?" I told her in a soothing voice while kissing the top of her head and rubbing her belly with my hand. She seemed crushed and it wasn't good for any of them to be feeling that way.
"But if something happened it would be all my fault Rachie, you told me to be careful and stop and I didn't think of the baby. I was selfish and I'm sorry. I'm going to be an awful mother" Kristie said letting her thoughts out while I hugged her tighter.
"But you guys are okay. I love you guys. You are going to be an amazing mommy babe" I told her while I soothed her to sleep for the time being
" We love you Princess Rachie" Kristie whispered while falling asleep with her face in the crook of my neck. They are all I need.

Rachel's POV
I was changing after a game and Kristie was waiting for me outside in the stands, our little boy could be here at any minute now and I was amazed by my fiancé and our future son. Of course I was a nervous wreck 95 percent of the time but that was just me being overprotective. Our game today was against North Carolina so we were going for super with Sam. Kristie was super excited about seeing her sister, since the last four months prior she didn't even travel with us anymore. She got scared and we all understand her after the other failed pregnancy.
"DALY COME HERE QUICKLY I THINK KRISTIE'S WATER BROKE!" An extra energetic Sam enter to the changing room yelling making everyone gasp and making me anxious all of the sudden.
"What do you mean her water broke??? Fuck, lets go!!" I ran as fast as I could with my car keys and cellphone only and saw Kristie trying to remain calm after every contraction with Abby's help. I quickly thank while helping my girlfriend into the car. Sam and Aby got in the back and I rub my girlfriends hand while driving. Until I noticed she was bleeding. That couldn't be good. When I looked at her, her eyes were closing and that's when I started panicking.
"Babe?? Love, keep your eyes open for me would you? Kristie we are going to meet our son. I need you to stay awake for us" She tried to look at me and gave me a little smile. Her hand didn't hold mine as strongly as before and I was terrified of losing the love of my life.
"I love you guys. Take care of him, Rachie" Her eyes closed and tears were streaming down my face by now. I couldn't grasp the whole situation. Abby and Sam were saying a lot of stuff but I judt had one objective and was getting my fiancé to the hospital.
Once we got to the ER everything started happening in a rush. They took Kristie out of my arms and I couldn't stop the pain in my heart.
"They are going to be okay Rachel. We Mewis never give up" Sam told me with a little smile through her own tears. I had to keep myself strong for both of them.
An hour passed when I saw our doctor walked in and quickly stood in front of him prepare for the news. Abby and Sam were making the calls knowing I wouldn't want to missed the opportunity to see them.
"Rachel... I don't know how to say this" My mind went blank. Kristie was my everything. She is my everything. We are having a son together. Dexi was waiting for both of us at home. I learned about Football for her. She tried tea because of me. We helped each other grow up in Houston. She is the love of my life.
"Say what Doc?" I didn't want to hear it but i needed to know how they were doing. Him making dramatic pauses between his speech was making things worse for me.
"Your son is in the NICU but Kristie is in surgery.. we don't know if she's going to pull through. She lost a lot of blood. It was inevitable, you guys did nothing wrong I want you to know that. Kristie asked me to tell you to take care of Archie for her." I was sobbing while noding my head trying to grasp what was happening. Kristie was dying but our little guy was okay. I needed to be with him until Kristie got out of surgery. That's what she wanted me to do and that was what I would do.
A nurse took me to the NICU and I immediately knew who was my baby. The tiniest baby with blonde hair and green eyes. I felt the warmest kind of love in my heart and a rush of emotions came to me. Archie. Kristie wanted to call him Noah but I argued telling her that he was half british so Archie Daly-Mewis was a great name. She couldn't leave us alone.

"Love! Be careful, you could've waited for me. Those things are too heavy for you." It was the first day I had to go training after Archie was born. Kristie had a lot of complications but a week ago she was finally realease from the hospital.
"I know Rachie but I wanted to help and Archie was sleeping so I got bored" my stubborn girlfriend said while pouting at me.
"Kristie, I almost lost you. I'm not risking my everything for a few bags that I could carry. I love you nush. Always" I said while I got closer to giver her a little peck.
"I love you more nush"
Everything is perfect if my family is with me.
