Olivia *4/11 ch. 14: Hope for a Better Future, is up*
MissBubbles:
“She’s waking up!” I heard someone say through the cloudy darkness, my eyes fluttering open. Brightness. People all around me. I shut my eyes again.
“Honey, can you tell me your name?” I heard somebody say.
I answer. “Hailey Fellows.” Wanting to get away from the brightness and the pain. Am I dying? What happened? Where was Collin? Was he okay? Was the baby okay? Were they calling my parents at this moment, only to get their voicemail? Did the doctors know my parents were already here, for another child?
“We’re losing the baby, we need to operate NOW!” I heard someone yell, not to me. What? They couldn’t… To soon, too soon for him to be born. I hadn’t even picked out a name. What if he died like Becca’s little girl? What would happen if he died? Would I end up like Becca, bitter and depressed? All these questions roamed through my head.
“Hailey, We’re putting you under anesthetics, we have to get the baby out now, or he could die.” To me this time. But what if I don’t want to be put under anesthetics?
“Liz, She can’t hear you. Put her under NOW.”
Blackness.

MissBubbles:
I regain consciousness to a flat stomach and burning pain.
Where’s the baby? Where’s my baby? Is he okay? Did he live? Where’s Collin? Is Collin okay? All of my questions better be answered soon.
“I think she’s waking up. Hailey, can you hear me?” Olivia’s sweet voice, I feel her hand on my cheek.
“Olivia, don’t touch her.” I heard my mom say, Olivia’s hand is gone.
“Put it back.” I say as loud as I can, it’s very painful and my voice is so hoarse I don’t recognize it.
“Hailey!” She says, putting her hand on my forehead, I can almost hear her silent tongue stuck out at my mom. I try to open my eyes, to be greeted by Olivia’s face.
“Hi, Sleeping Beauty.” She said, grinning.
“Hey Princess.” My mom says, grabbing my hand.
“Where’s the baby?” I ask, trying to lift my hand up to touch Olivia.
“The baby is doing fine, he’s needs oxygen, but he’s doing well. Let me call a nurse.” My mom said, pressing the button on the wall.
When the nurse came in she unhooked some tubes and checked my vitals.
“Once the doctor comes in to look at you, you can see your baby boy, would you like that?”
“Yes!” Olivia said. I smiled, then frowned because it hurt.
The doctor came in, and shook my mom’s hand.
“Hi, I’m Dr. Liz Graham.” She said, coming over and shaking my hand. “After the car wreck, when we performed an ultrasound to check on the baby, it turned out that the umbilical cord was tight around his neck, cutting off his oxygen, we had to operate immediately to save him. Ultimately, I think if you wouldn’t have come in from the car crash, he wouldn’t have made it.” She said, looking at the folder in her hand. “Our records indicate you were about thirty four weeks, and he’ll need to stay here for a few weeks so we can monitor him and keep him under oxygen, but he’s doing quite well, despite the breathing issues.” She said, closing her folder and looking at my mom.
“He should be able to come home in about three weeks, which would full term if Hailey was still pregnant. Would you like me have a nurse bring him in here so you guys can see him?”
“YES!!!!” Olivia jumped up and smiled.
“Olivia, hush. We’re in a hospital.” My mother chided, Olivia rolled her eyes.
“Mom, I know how to behave in a hospital, I’ve practically lived here since September.” My mom shut up at that.
A few minutes later a nurse came in with the baby, I sat up so I could hold him and she put him in my arms.
A few seconds later there was a knock at the door and Collin and Peter came in. Collin had a few stitches but nothing bad.
“Hailey, you’re awake! How come nobody came to get us?” Collin said, rushing to my side. He kissed my cheek, and then put his arm around my shoulder. “Hi baby.” He said, kissing his forehead.
“Hailey, have you thought about what you’re going to name the baby?” My mom said, nodding to him.
“Collin, what do you think?” I asked, looking up.
“Whatever you want to name him is fine with me.” He said, smiling at the baby.
“Taylor.” I said, kissing his cheek.
