DISGRACED.

CHAPTER 1: (part 4)
Sam's P.O.V:
I was pacing outside the room.
The doctor wouldn't let me come in.
I could hear her screaming, and my heart pounded.
She had to be okay. She had to live.
She screamed again, this time even louder. I pounded on the door.
"Let me in! Please!" I begged.
The screaming stopped suddenly, and I could hear heavy breathing.
The door opened up, and I saw April laying on her back.
I ran in, and grabbed her hand. She looked exhausted.
She looked up at me with tired eyes. A sad look crossed her face
"Where's the baby?" I asked quietly, forcing a hopeful smile back at her despite the feeling of panic that had overcome me.
Aprils P.O.V:
I felt my lip start to tremble.
My baby had come out too soon.
Tears started to roll down my cheeks and I gasped for breath.
Sam squeezed my hand tighter.
"the doctors took her... I don't know where..." I whispered.
My lower abdomen felt weak. And i felt my eyes starting to close.
"My baby... my baby..." I said weakly, trying to call to the doctors.
I heard the door shut, and someone walk in.
"Hi Ms. Taylors," I heard someone say, "It's Dr. Jacobs, we have some news about your baby."
I tried to sit up, and Sam placed his hand gently on my back.
Dr. Jacobs was looking at me blankly. Suddenly, his mouth broke into a smile.
"Your baby..." He said, shaking his head in disbelief, "she's a miracle."
I felt a huge grin take over my face.
My baby is alive.
Dr. Jacobs talked to us about how I was almost 6 months along, so the baby had already developed all her vital organs. She would have some breathing problems, but other than that and how fragile she was, she was fine.
"Can I see her?" I asked, smiling.
"First, you need to rest." Dr. Jacobs said, "In a while you can see her. But for now, just sleep. That was a pretty rough pregnancy and birth, and you need your sleep."
I nodded my head and Dr. Jacobs walked out of the room.
"Our baby is okay." I heard Sam say, and I looked up at him. He was beaming.
"April... we're parents."
