"Sweety, everything is fine, we knew this was probably going to be the case and it's best for you and the baby.” “But, everything’s okay right? She’s going to be okay?” Sarah asked from the hospital bed, anxious but not worried. The nurse didn’t answer this time. Dr. Sun could be heard speed walking down the hall, yelling at someone, “I told you this was a bad idea, we can’t keep taking chances like this!” But the instant she rounded the corner to enter the room her face was the epitome of calm and focus. “Sarah, how are you doing?” She asked right away but didn’t wait for a verbal response, getting her answer by reading Sarah’s face. “This is gonna be like rolling out of bed in the morning. You just relax and Jackie will have you feeling nice and numb here.” Then to the nurse, “Why did you wait so long?” again not giving a chance to reply, “Doesn’t matter, she’s prepped? Were we able to get the *flavi* test back yet?” Jackie, “No, but, it’s pretty obvious isn’t it, I mean,” speaking quietly, “It’s 6 diviations above normal, I’ve never seen anything like this, have you?” “We’re gonna need to put Sarah under, the shock might be too much and I don’t want to have to foricalby sedate if it comes to that.” “Doctor, she’s, she’ll find out eventually,” but Dr. Sun cut the nurse off. “Just get Gabrial in here and make sure she's prepped in 5. I’m gonna check on that *flavi*.” Sarah strained to hear and was quickly moving from anxious to concerned, “Nurse, we okay right? She’s gonna be okay right?” Jackie spoke in her sweetest drawl, “Ah, sweety, you and baby are gonna be more than okay, you gonna be perfect. Now your **only** job is to get comfy and try to relax, the doctor is gonna have you under for this one, she thinks--” “Under? Like, like put under, why? I don’t need that, I need to be awake to, to see my baby. To make sure she’s okay.” Sarah pleaded. “Honey, it's for the best, doctor knows what she’s doing, it's just gonna feel like going to sleep and when you wake up your baby will be right here with you, just like magic.” Jackie tried. “That’s not what we talked about, that’s not what I want. Where’s Jim? I need to talk to my husband!” “Sweety, I’m sorry it’s too late, we already put the pento in your IV, you just need to try and take a deep breath--” “Jim! JIM!!! I need to see my husband. Jim!” Sarah’s breath was becoming larbord, her vision was going. On an exhale she managed to get out, in just above a whisper, “Evelyn.” She breathed in, then out, “Call.” In.
