••Johnson's POV••
"Where is she?!" I yelled as I ran into the hospital.
"The doctors with her right now." Sam assured as I ran my hand through my hair and shook my head
"W-What happened? When she left the house she was fine, what happened Sam?" I asked frustrated
"We don't know, like you said she was fine then one moment, she just, wasn't." He sighed.
"I need to see her." I said walking up to the front desk
"Are you Miss Castillo's fiancé?" A doctor asked walking towards me
"Yes, how is she?" I asked. He looked down at a clipboard and sighed.
"This is her first time being pregnant, am I correct?" He asked, I nodded
"Yeah, actually it was hard us to even have a baby." I replied
"Of course, she told me she had infertility, well the thing is Jack, her pregnancy is at risk." He said
"Wait, what do you mean?" I asked, a ball forming in my throat.
"Your fiancé and the baby are in grave danger." He replied
"Don't sugar coat it doctor, tell me." I pleaded.
"One of them might not make it." He finally said. I felt my heart stop, I felt like someone ripped open my chest and took it out, smashing it into millions of pieces.
"You have to save them doctor, please." I begged.
"We'll do everything we can." He assured. I gulped and nodded.
"I-Is it a miscarriage?" I asked
"It usually happens within the first months of the pregnancy, it's unlikely for it to happen this far ahead of the pregnancy, at least I've never had anything like this." He explained.
"But is it possible?" I asked him, he sighed
"We'll do everything to save them." He said before walking away.
"Jack? What happened?" Gilinsky asked as I walked over to them.
"I could loose one of them." I whispered
"You won't." He assured.
"You don't know that Jack!" I yelled angrily at him.
"Johnson, please calm down." Summer begged
"I can't calm down Summer, the love of my life could die!" I yelled
"I could loose her and our baby." I whispered, leaning on the wall and sliding down.
"What the hell happened Summer?" I mumbled, looking up at her. She frowned and sat next to me.
"We were shopping, and out of no where she got these pains so I tried calling you, but, I-I didn't have service, god-I'm so sorry Jack." She cried into her hands.
"Go on." I muttered lowly.
"She told me to take her to the hospital but when we got out of the store she fainted and that's when Sam came, h-he saw all the blood and we yelled for someone to call an ambulance, a couple minutes later they came and took her away, I haven't seen her since they took her into a room." She finished.
"Alex told me, if something like this ever happened that I choose David, but tell me Summer, how could I choose my unborn son over the love of my life?" I mumbled.
"If one day, Alex had to choose between you or David, who do you think she'd choose?" She asked.
"She would be stubborn and choose both of us." I sighed.
"Exactly, you love them both, so why choose one over another?" She asked
"I wouldn't, and I won't." I shook my head
"Good, because they need you, both of them." She smiled softly.
"Yeah." I whispered and nodded
"But what if I don't have a choice? What if I have t-"
"You always have a choice." She said cutting me off.
"Not always." I muttered, burying my face in the palm of my hands. The mintued seemed to pass by like hours and yet no doctors came out to tell me how my fiancé and son were doing. My brain was coming up with many scenarios and neither of them made me feel any better.

"It's been two hours, how long does it take to do whatever they're doing." I groaned, running my hand through my hair in frustration.
"They could take days if it means they save Alex and your son, Jack." Gilinksy said to me.
"I don't know what to do Jack, I'm scared, I never thought I'd be in this situation." I mumbled.
"None of us did." He replied
"Alex did." I frowned. He sighed and rested his hands on my shoulders.
"They'll be fine." He assured.
I nodded and sat back down on the annoying and uncomfortable plastic chair. I stared up at the clock, the ticking noise getting louder as I blocked out everything and everyone out. Everything inside me was scared, I didn't want to loose them, and I defiantly didn't want to choose between the two. They're my reason to live and knowing that I get to choose which of them will live breals my heart, I can't do that to them. Not to Alex and not to David. I'd die before I end any of their life's.
"Family of Alex Castillo?" The doctor finally asked coming out of a room with a nurse next to him.
"I'm her fiancé, what happened? Can I see her?" I quickly asked.
"We managed to stop the bleeding, but the baby-"
"What happened to him?" I asked, cutting him off as I stood up.
"We had to put him in an incubator, since he's a week early and can't breath by himself he can't leave the hospital." He explained, a sigh escaped my lips as Sam patted my back softly.
"So, he's alive?" I asked him
"Yes, but he's too small to leave yet." He replied, I nodded.
"C-Can I see him?" I stuttered.
"Of course, the nurse will show you to the room." He said before excusing himself and walking away. I told everyone where I was going before walking towards the nurse.
"Do you know how my fiancé is doing?" I asked the nurse as she led the way.
"Unfortunately I don't know." She frowned, I nodded
"He's the last one on the second row, I have to go take these to the doctor but I'll be back ok?" She said as she stopped in front of a room that was filled was about ten babies, mine included. I looked at her and nodded
"Congratulations." She smiled
"Thank you." I whispered as she nodded and started walking away.
"Wait!" I called out, she turned around
"A-Are all the babies like mine? I-I mean were they born too early?" I asked her, she smiled softly and nodded
"There's seven babies, eight with yours. With the right treatment, you can take him home." She assured.
"Thank you." I nodded
"Anything else?" She asked, I shook my head. She bid goodbye before walking away again. I took a deep breath as I grabbed the cold grey knob and twisted it open. I slowly walked over to where David laid and stopped in front of it. I stared at him for a while, he was so tiny and fragile. Yet I couldn't believe that me and Alex made him.
"You're so tiny." I finally blurted out, as I traced the box he was inside of.
"God, you're really here." I chuckled, a tear rolling down my cheek.
"I don't know where your mom is, but I promise that you'll meet her, and she'll love you just as much as I do." I smiled softly as he started to move around, but he didn't wake up. It scared me seeing him inside there, it killed me not being able to carry him but I knew it was for the best, at least until he's able to breath by himself and not have machines connected to him all the time.
"Jack?" Someone asked, I looked up to see Summer standing by the door.
"Is that him?" She asked, I smiled and nodded as I motioned her over.
"Oh my god." She smiled widely as she saw him
"Baby David." She cooed
"He looks so fragile." I whispered
"He is, but he'll be ok." She assured
"Any news on Alex?" I asked her, she sighed and shook her head.
"What if she's gone and they're waiting for the right moment to tell us?" I asked her.
"They wouldn't do that, Jack if something would've happened to her they would've told us by now." She said sternly. I sighed and stared at David, he started moving more and slightly opened his eyes. I smiled as I stared into his light blue eyes. Surely Alex will be happy about this, he got my eye color. It didn't take long for him to drift back to sleep, leaving us again, with a room full of eight sleeping babies. Just then Summer's phone started ringing, she excused herself and walked out.
I don't know how long I stayed in that room, just staring at my new born son as he slept, it felt like hours but in reality it could've just been a couple of minutes, I know that because the nurse said she would be back and I doubt she'd take hours just to give a doctor some papers. But either way, I cherished every second I got to spend with him, even if I've known him for a couple of minutes, I loved him more than words can explain, he's finally here, not the way I hoped he would, but he's here, and I know he's gonna make it to meet his mother.
Alex, god I hope she's ok. I can't raise him without her, it'll be too hard. He has a little of both of us, and seeing him everyday without her around along will be hard. She's his mother, my fiancé, the girl I love more than anything in this planet, I can't be without her in my life. She makes me complete, she makes me smile every time I've had a bad day, no one could do that besides her, she's my light, my reason to live, now along with David, they're my everything
A couple more minutes passed before the nurse came back and told me I had to leave the room. I frowned but nodded as I turned to David.
"I'll be back tomorrow." I whispered
"I love you." I sighed before following the nurse back to the waiting room.
"Any news yet?" I asked Gilinsky as I walked towards them.
"They won't tell us anything, not even Summer." He frowned.
"That's fucking bullshit." I spat, clenching my jaw.
"I know, but what if they're doing everything to save her?" Sammy asked, I scoffed
"If they were they would've told us by now, we deserve to know." I replied, running my hand through my hair in frustration
"My baby can't be without a mom." I frowned
"And he won't, you guys will be a family." Summer assured. I shook my head and looked down.
"You don't know that." I mumbled
How could a day that was so amazing turn into this? Just this morning I had Alex in my arms while she slept, and now? She's in this hospital, in a room I don't even know. My son is in an incubator because he's too small to breath by himself and I'm left here clueless as to what's going on with my fiancé. God, if I knew this was gonna happen I wouldn't have let Alex go out with Summer today, and maybe, just maybe things would be different and I'd be able to see Alex, to hold her and tell her how much I love her.
Now I don't even know if I'll ever get the chance to say it to her again. I'm scared beyond belief, I don't want to loose her. I remember all those times she would tell me that she was afraid that she would loose me one day, that I'd choose another girl over her. I would always tell her that she wouldn't, because there's no other girl in the entire universe that I want besides her, she's the first girl I've ever loved and the only girl I'll ever love. But, now, I'm the one that's loosing her. Literally.
