I got out of the bed and stared down in disbelief for a few minutes, then I went over to Kian's bed and shook him awake.
"What." He asked sleepily.
"My water broke, like actually for real this time." I said frantically. I didn't really research this stuff. Kian sat up quickly and grabbed the dumb bag again. I winced in pain for a second. A contraction.
"You're serious this time right?" He asked. I pointed at the bed and he looked, then nodded. I got my shoes on as quickly as I could, and then we got in the car.
I scrolled through my contacts until I got to Jc's number. I clicked the call button and it rang about 5 times before Jc's sleepy voice answered the phone.
"Why are you up so late? Are you guys ok?" he asked quietly.
"No... I mean yeah... well see the thing is that um my water broke so you should probably come to the hospital in San Fran, I'll text you which one..." I said frantically.
"Ok deep breaths now you're ok." Jc said after he sensed the worry in my voice. "Can I talk to Kian?" He asked. I took a deep breathe and handed Kian the phone, I could still hear Jc.
"Kian, I'll try to get there as fast as I can but that's 5 hours away. If I can't get there in time tell her she doesn't have to wait, and please just be there for her, you're good at that." He said anxiously, I heard him start his car.
"I've got this Jc just come as fast as you can." Kian said into the phone, then handed it back to me.
"I love you guys." He said.
"We love you too." I said, breathing heavily. He hung up.
"Ah Ow." I groaned.
"Just breathe Taylor we're almost there." Kian said as he grabbed my hand.

It's been about 4 hours since we got here and I've been laying here in pain, they have to check the position of the baby. Kian said Jc should be here soon. The doctor walked in.
"I feel like I need to push. Can I push?" I asked. The doctor checked then quickly said, "nope honey do not push."
"No? Why can't she push?" Kian asked frantically.
"Your placenta is in your uterus, covering the cervix, you're going to need an emergency c-section." She said.
"Emergency c-section. Ok, ok." Kian said, squeezing my hand. I knew he had absolutely no idea what that meant, but the way he was trying to understand was adorable. He smiled at me.
"You got it T." he said assuring me. I nodded as they wheeled me in.
-
They got me into the operating room and Kian sat next to me, holding my hand. They got the baby out, she started crying after a few seconds. "A beautiful baby girl. Born at 7:26 A.M on April 2nd." the doctor smiled.
"You want to cut the cord?" They asked Kian. He nodded and cut the cord. They gave me her and she continued crying.
"Hi baby!" I said, crying. Kian was tearing up too. I held her for awhile, I thought they were stitching me up.
"Damnit it won't stop bleeding." The doctor said quietly to the other. I knew I wasn't supposed to hear that.
"She's bleeding out, get the guy out." the surgeon said to the nurse.
"What? Wait what's going on?" Kian asked as they pulled her out of my arms, then pulled him out of the room.
"I love you Taylor. You'll be okay." he called over his shoulder.
"Don't worry honey you'll see your baby again, what her name?" the nurse asked me, taking her from me.
"Zoe Vada Caylen." I said before I passed out.

Kian POV
They dragged me out of the room. "What's going on?" I asked as they let me go.
"A perfect storm." The nurse said before going back into the OR. I waited in waiting room and worried for about 30 minutes before Jc came in. I got up and hugged him then I walked him to Taylor's room, which was empty besides an empty hospital baby crib and two chairs. I sat in one.
"Where's Taylor?" He asked nervously.
"They had to do a c-section. They delivered the baby and then said something about a perfect storm." I answered, my eyes watering.
The doctor walked in with Zoe and Jc smiled brightly. "Is that my baby?" He asked.
"Yep. Zoe Caylen." She smiled, handing her to Jc. Jc smiled at her and looked at her lovingly.
"Now about Taylor. A 'perfect storm' in medical terms means that a rare combination of things went wrong. Everything that could've gone wrong with the surgery did go wrong. They're fixing her up right now. We're doing everything we can." She said. Jc's face dropped and he handed me Zoe. The doctor walked out.
"No, Kian this cant be happening. This is supposed to be the best day of my life." He said as he furrowed his eyebrows and got up. He started pacing around the room, mumbling to himself. I got up and put Zoe in the crib, then I walked up to Jc and stopped him, putting my hands on his shoulders.
"What if she dies?" He asked me as a tear slipped down his cheek. I frowned.
"She won't." I said before hugging him. Then we both sat back in our chairs, and Jc grabbed Zoe again and rocked her in his arms. She started crying. "She's tough Jc. This isn't how your story ends."
Zoe continued screaming as Jc tried to calm her down. "Zoe I know you miss your mommy, I miss her too, but she'll be back real soon so you don't have to be sad." He said softly to her. I smiled.

2 hours later
They rolled Taylor's bed into the room, her on it, still asleep. I smiled and looked at Jc and Zoe, who were both sleeping.
I shook Jc and he opened his eyes slowly and adjusted Zoe in his arms. He saw Taylor laying there and smiled.

Taylor POV
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Jc holding Zoe in his arms. He smiled at me.
"Jc." I said quietly. He leaned forward and kissed me. This is my family. Zoe, Jc, and Kian. But there were 2 people missing.
Corey and Bobby walked in. "Look at her! She's so cute!" Bobby gushed as he walked up to Jc.
"Congratulations guys!" Corey said, looking at Zoe.
"There's someone else who'd like to see you." Corey said. I looked over his shoulder and my dad was standing in the doorway.
"Hi dad." I said with a smile.
"Hi Taybear." He said as he walked up to me through Bobby and Corey. He looked at Zoe and a tear slipped out of his eye. He took her from Jc and held her for awhile, then handed her to Bobby.
"You're a good guy Jc, take care of my daughter." my dad said with a wink, then he kissed my cheek and left.
"Bobby can I hold her for a second?" Corey asked. I smiled, they loved her already.
