One minute I was laying next to Dan and making plans for the week. The next minute it was all black and I could hear Dan screaming my name but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't answer him.

Then I woke up. I was in the hospital and I had no idea how I got here or what was going on. I started to panic and Dan was by my side holding me and telling me it was okay.

I tried to figure out what happened. I wasn't having any luck. Dan curled up beside me as I asked him what happened.

"You said you felt dizzy and then you passed out." Dan said as he rubbed my hand.

I still didn't understand. I felt fine and I wanted to go home to be with my family and friends. This place was not home.

The nurse came in and was happy to see me awake. She took blood and ran a few tests. She told me she'd send someone in now that I was awake. I got excited thinking it was Landon and my parents. But all my excitement died the minute I saw the face of my healer. It wasn't a look of happiness, it was a look of worry.

"Serena, the baby thinks its time to be born, but it's too early. We are going to keep you here and try to avoid you delivering him as long as we can." The healer paused.. "I know your pregancy has progressed quickly like you said it did with Landon. But, it's too soon."

I stared at the healer and ignored the tears that were dripping off my face. Dan put his hand on my stomach and kissed my head. I hugged him and we cried together.

"S, he will be a fighter. He will be okay." Dan said as he rubbed my stomach.

"This is all my fault. If I hadn't hurt everyone with my bad choices we wouldn't be here."

"No, that's not true. Don't say that ever again. You haven't done anything wrong. And this isn't your fault. It hurts me when you say that. It's not your fault." Dan's voice got louder. "Stop blaming yourself!"

I felt the sting of his words as I laid there. I closed my eyes and relaxed a little. "I'm sorry Dan."

"No, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get upset with you. I just hate when you blame yourself. Please don't do that anymore. We will all get through this together."

I smiled as I looked at Dan. He came and laid beside me again. As I snuggled against him I wondered where everyone was. "Does anyone know we are here?"

Dan froze. "Just Lily and Dad. They have Landon. I need to call them, I need to call everyone."

I yawned. "Yes they need to know what's going on."

"S, what do I tell them? I am sure that they won't want me to call to tell them this kind of news." Dan looked at her. "Are you sleeping?" After a few moments of holding Serena. "I need to do this." He kissed Serena's forehead and grabbed his phone. He headed outside to make the calls.
