Re: Miami/NY;Crossover continue's....The Taylor Caine Clans
When Horatio joined Calleigh she was in full labor. "Horatio, something is wrong, it don't feel right". "What do you mean love, where's the nurse"? "She's gone to get the OBGYN, oh it hurts so bad". "Okay love, hold on, just hold on", said "H" taking her hand. When the OBGYN came in she took one look at Calleigh's face, and knew something was seriously wrong. "Okay Calleigh, I'm going to have a look, just relax". As the doctor looked, she noticed the cord was wrapped around the baby's neck. "Okay Calleigh, we are going to have to do a C section, the baby is wrapped around your cord". "Nooooo, oh God, please let our child be okay". When the nurses and anesthiologist came in, they preped Calleigh.
"Okay Mrs.Caine, I need you to stay very still, while I insert the needle into your back. Once they had it done, Calleigh laid back down, and tried to breathe normally. "Horatio...she whispered, please tell me it will be alright". bending down to kiss her, he whispered, "I promise Calleigh, the baby and you will be fine". As the doctor cut, Horatio watched, as he seen his son blue and purple. "How's it look handsome, please tell me something". Horatio didn't want to alarm Calleigh, so instead he told her..."it's a boy love, a beautiful boy". "How come he isn't crying"? "Horatio, she screamed, answer me".
While the doctor's worked on reviving the child, another surgeon stitched up Calleigh, as she passed out. "Calleigh...said "H", Calleigh"! "Doctor something is wrong with Calleigh". As they checked her, they inserted a breathing tube, I think she has a blood clot, I'm going to have to ask you to leave". "Like hell, I'm not going anywhere until I know my wife and child are safe". Watching as they now worked on both the mother and child, Horatio cried. "Please God, don't take any more of my family, I beg you, please let us have some happiness".
Five minutes later, Horatio heard his son's first cries. "Thank-you God, now please, give me back my wife". Rushing the baby down to the Neo Unit, they continued to work on Calleigh. "Lt.Caine, we've got your wife stable, but it will be a while before we know if she'll pull through or not, as the clot is very close to her heart, and we are doing our best to break it up". "Thank-you doctor, may I see her"? "In about five minutes, the nurses are cleaning her up, but if you like you can visit your son".
Walking down to the Neo Unit, "H" held his son and asked the nurse if he could take him to see his mother. "Sure Lt. that's fine, I hope your wife pulls through". "Thank you nurse, thank you". When he arrived at Calleigh's room memories came flooding back, as he heard those machines beeping away. "Sweetheart, listen to me, I've brought our son to see you, you need to wake up now, and have a look at him, come on Calleigh, wake up love". Still not getting any response, Horatio placed the baby on Calleigh's right side, took her hands, and wrapped them around their son, and as the baby began to cry, Calleigh opened her eyes, and tightened her grip. "Oh sweetheart, thank God, you're awake, I thought I lost you". With a whispered sigh, she said...."Never handsome, that would never happen".
