Chapter 12
~1 year later~
"I can't wait till he gets old enough to start throwing a football!" Eric said as he watched his son walk to him and Natalia who were sitting on the couch.
"I'm sure you can't." Natalia said as she picked Kasen up.
"I can't. He's gonna be a quarterback, and a pitcher or catcher."
"I'm sure he will." Natalia said cleaning up his slobber.
~5 years later~
"Daddy, can we go throw the football?" Kasen asked as he walked over to Eric who was sitting on the couch.
"Yea buddy, just hang on, let me make sure mommy doesn't need anything." Eric said as he made his way upstairs.
"Hey Nat, me and Kasen are going to go out and throw the football so if you need anything, come find me." Eric said as he rubbed her forehead.
"Ok." Natalia said tiredly looking at him.
"How's my little girl doing in there?" Eric said as he ran his hand over her stomach.
"Fine. But she's wearing me out." Natalia said as she let out a yawn.
"I can see that. But just 2 more months and she'll be outta there!" Eric said with a beaming smile.
"Yea, I know."
Eric started to lean down and kiss her but got interupted.
"Daddy!" Kasen said as he walked over to Eric.
"Yes Kasen?"
"Come on, you can spend time with mommy later. I mean apparently you've spent plenty of time with her already." Kasen said as he gave Eric the "look at what I mean face."
"Kasen, you better run downstairs before I get you!" Eric said acting like he was gonna chase him so that way he would leave.
"Ahhhhhh!" Kasen screamed as he ran out of Eric and Natalia's room.
"Now then, where was I...." Eric said leaning down to her again and kissing her lips.
"I love you." Eric said as he kissed her forhead before leaving the room.
"I love you too."
~Outside~
"Ready, set, hike hike!" Kasen yelled as Eric threw the ball back to him. Eric took off running as Kasen acted like he was dodging tackles and threw the ball to Eric.
"Touchdown Miami!" Kasen said as Eric reached the end of the yard and they both started doing a dance.
Meanwhile Natalia had gotten out of bed and got a shower.
She walked out of the bathroom and walked over to the bed and leaned over it clutching her stomach. She felt a sharp pain and looked down and saw she was bleeding.
"Oh, my God." Natalia said as she ran downstairs to get Eric.
Natalia opens the sliding door.
"Eric."
"Hey, baby." Eric said as he threw the football back to Kasen.
"Eric, something's wrong." Natalia said as she hit the ground and let out a scream of pain.
Eric and Kasen ran over to her.
"What's wrong?" Eric said as he bent down beside her.
"All I know is that I'm cramping and I'm bleeding."
"Oh my God. Ok let's get you to the hospital." Eric said as he picked her up and took her to the hospital.
~At the hospital~
"Eric Delko?" The doctore said as he walked in and Eric stood up holding Kasen who was asleep.
"Is she gonna be ok?"
"She's fighting."
"Her life and the baby's life are in danger. Our only possibility to save both of them is to do an emergency C-section."
"Ok. Can I see her?"
"Yes." The doctor said as he walked Eric back.
Eric walked into the room and saw Natalia hooked up to abunch of different machines. He let a tear fall as he walked over to her side.
"Hey baby." Eric said grabbing her hand.
"E, ric?" Natalia said looking at him.
"Yea. I'm here. Listen I need you to fight. Me and Kasen both need you to fight."
"I'm trying."
"They're gonna do a C-section. They have to do it for you and the baby's life."
"Eric..."
"No, we're gonna do it. I can't say goodbye right now. We've come to far from where we used to be. I need you and that baby. Kasen needs you." Eric said as he let the tears fall.
"Are you ready?" The doctor said as he opened the door.
Eric and Natalia both looked at him.
"Yes." Eric said as he looked back at Natalia.
The doctor came over and pushed Natalia out of the room and down the hall. Eric following.
~30 minutes later~
"You've got a little girl." The doctor said as he held her up to let Natalia and Eric see.
Eric started crying as he saw how tiny she was. She wasn't that much bigger than his hand. The doctors wrapped her up in a pink blanket and ran her out.
~A few hours later~
"Mr. and Mrs. Delko?" The doctor said.
"Yes?" Eric and Natalia both said as they turned their
attention to her.
"Karsten is doing fine. She's having a little trouble breathing but other than that she's perfectly healthy."
"How long do you think it'll be until she can leave?" Eric said as he rubbed Natalia's hand.
"Well Natalia is making a good recovery and should be able to go home tomorrow, but
Karsten will probably have to stay a few more days until she can breathe on her own."
"Ok. Thank you for everything." Natalia said as the doctor came over and hugged her.
"Everything will be fine. So don't worry. And we'll be getting you a wheelchair shortly
so ya'll can go see her." The doctor said as she started to leave the room.
"Thank you."
"Mhhmmm."
Few minutes later they had the wheelchair for Natalia and they set off to see their daughter. When they entered the room Eric imediately spotted his daughter and pushed Natalia over to her. Natalia stood up slowly as she could feel the pain from the c-section. Karsten had been crying until Natalia reached her hand in and touched her.
"Hey baby girl, it's mommy, I want you to come home really bad so you need to get better. You're brother wants to play with you too. He's gonna be such an amazing big brother! You'll never find a better one. I love you so much." Natalia said as she rubbed her daughters small hand.
"Would you like to hold her?" The nurse said as she walked over to Natalia, Eric, and
Kasen.
"Yes." Natalia said imediately.
"Ok, just go sit in the rocking chair right over there and I'll bring her over to you."
"Ok." Natalia said as she slipped her hand out and Eric helped her walk over to the chair. Karsten started crying.
The nurse walked Karsten over to Natalia.
"Shhhhh..." Natalia said as she rocked her daughter back and forth.
Karsten stopped crying.
"I think she knows who her mommy is." The nurse said as she left them alone.
"She looks just like her mommy too." Eric said slipping his finger in her small hand.
"Daddy?" Kasen said as he pulled on Erics pants.
"Yea?"
"Can I touch her?"
"Sure. But you have to be really gentle." Eric said picking Kasen up.
Kasen touched her with his pointer finger and let out a gasp and smiled up at Eric.
"What?" Eric said looking at Kasen.
"She's so soft."
"Yea she is, isn't she." Eric said smiling at Natalia who smiled back him.
"I can't wait till she comes home so I can hold her!" Kasen said as he got all excited.
"Me either." Eric said.
