Ace's POV

"Do you want to hold her?" Alex asks, looking up at me

I nod my head and wipe away the tears of happiness that had escaped my eyes. I reach out for Scarlett and hold her in my arms. She was so beautiful.

"Hi Scarlett, it's nice to finally meet you" I say with happiness

I look over at Alexandra who had been doing so well... until now.

It was like she was waiting to just pass Scarlett over to me so that she can finally stop trying to keep strong.

"Alex?" I ask as I see her start to get pale

"Ace, I don't feel too well" she says with pain in her voice

All of a sudden the nurses rush by her side and start to inject something into her IV. I call out her name but she doesn't respond.

I don't remember what happens next but a nurse takes Scarlett out of my arms and I rush by Alex's side.

"Is she okay? What's happening? Alex?" I call out with worry

I then feel Dr. Ashley grab my arm and turns me to face him

"Ace, calm down" he says

"Is she going to be okay? What's happening? Ashley tell me she's gonna be okay please"

"She lost a lot of energy Ace, we're doing everything we can to help her gain some strength back. Once she is stable, we can try and operate but right now we need to help her" he says

"Wha-what can I do to help?" I ask

"I need you to go outside and let us do our job" he says

I start to shake my head frantically

"N-no, please I don't want to leave her side" I say

"Ace, I promise she will be okay. Just give us a little bit of time" Dr. Ashley says and starts to escort me out of the room

"You also need to go with the nurses to be with Scarlett. I will call you once Alex is stable, I promise. Now go"

I let out a breath and nod my head, leaving the room.

***
Sitting in the waiting room, I realize how time barely passes when you are waiting. I felt like years were going by for each minute. Sitting there alone waiting for any update with Alex, I hear people come in.

Looking up, I'm met with Molly who was rushing in with a pink teddy bear. A bright smile was on her face until she saw me sitting.

"A-Ace, what happened? Is Alex okay? The baby?" she asks with worry

I stand up and nod my head "Yes Molly, the baby is doing great. It's just Alex lost a lot of energy. I'm waiting for an update but they said that if she becomes stable, then they might be able to operate and remove parts of the tumour." I say
