» Keep Holding On, The drama surrounding Liv's birth

Allie and I were doing a quick IM for this since the plan was that Olivia would be born premature. Blue for Bryce and Red for Miranda. This takes place on June 17, 2012. And there is alot of Drama that will ensue.

Bryce had been working hard the June heat was starting to hit him working in the kitchen of Antonio's. It was his job they needed the money. Since it was tight for them right now he had two kids and a third on the way. He could so go for a smoke right now being under so much stress. maybe on his break.
Randa was busy today... running the kids to play dates talking to rose and making plans for Olivia's birth and looking at apartments to get them out of her in-law's she finally after the kids were over at the park with Tony and his new girlfriend Sara she was able to sit down and relax
It wasn't long before the manager had told Bryce he could take a break. He took off his oven-mits and hung the apron on the hook near the break-room. He went to his locker and took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter as he stepped outside in between the buildings putting the cigarette to his lips and he lit up. He tried to avoid smoking around Miranda and the kids as much as he could. Everything that had happened the past months was hitting him.
She sighs as her phone rings she picks it up.
"Hello? Oh hi Rose yea just relaxing... no their with Tony and his girltoy... er girlfriend." she paused laughing as Livvy kicks. "okay whats wrong? Really I'll be there soon let me find my shoes." she hung up the phone and searched the living room and grunted as she heaved herself off the couch slipping them on.
As she ran out the door she grabbed her purse and keys and locked the front door going down the stairs at a faster pace as her shoe slipped off her foot causing her to slip and skid down the stairs.
"Shit!" she leaned against stairs catching her breath
He stood there leaning against the building taking a drag of his cigarette again. Bryce looked up at the sky and gazed as he let the cigarette hand from his mouth. So much had been going through his head. He glanced down at his phone and sent a quick text to Ian who had texted him before.
As she checked herself to make sure she hadn't broke any bones and ignored the pain in her back as she got up she felt a gush of fluid run down her leg. eyes going wide she sat on the step and hit her speed dial for Bryce.
Bryce had sent the text to his younger brother and was about to put the phone away when his Zelda ringtone rang out. He looked at the caller ID and noticed it was Miranda. Bryce answered it ass worried thought ran through his head.
"MIRANDA! What's wrong?"
As she waited for him to answer she felt the first pain.
"Madre de dios gracias that you answered the phone... i slipped on the steps heading out the door to rose and dannys... Bry my water broke..."
Bryce's eyes widened hearing her words. They surrounded his mind as worry overtook him. His lit cigarette fell from his mouth at the moment as he quickly snuffed it out with his shoe. It was too early Olivia would be about three months premature. Something was wrong.
"I will be there soon, I love you" Bryce said to her before hanging up.
He had to get home quickly. Something wasn't right at all. He rushed into the Kitchen and frantically told his manager what was going on. Actually it was quite surprising that the manager could make out what he was talking about. But he was allowed off work early and made his way home, quickly.
She took a deep breath through the contractions as they hit irregularly still on the stairs seeing as she didn't want to move. inbetween them she called tony to make sure he and Sara could keep the twins for a bit possibly spend the night.
"Ow ow ow ow" she squeaked as one hit rather harder than they were suppose to and looked down to see another flood of 'water' puddle on the stair.
"Damn" she said as she saw a few riverlets of blood. She hoped Bryce would be there soon.
Bryce had rushed home as fast as he could as he saw Miranda on the steps with a water puddle underneath her. As he rushed out of the car to her side he noticed blood droplets, his brown eyes widened. His worries had already gone through the roof and now they were just in outer space.
"Can you move?" He said as calmly as he could with shaky breaths. He put his arms toward her. "we have to get you to the hospital immediately!"
She sighed in relief as he pulled up and smiled painfully as a contraction hit.
"I think so" she said taking his arms in her hands and pulling herself up frowning as more water rushed out of her body. Her eyes widened as she looked at Bryce,
"Norah and Nolan are with Tony and Sara so we don't have to wor-OW!" she was interrupted as another contraction hit. "They're coming fast Bry."
"Dammit' Bryce said as he helped his wife up and lead her to the car.
She squeezed his arm as they made it to the car. "I'm scared..."
Bryce held her arm as tight as he could and got her in the car. His mind was going five thousand miles per hour.
"Me too" He finally spoke.
Bryce drove Miranda to the hospital as quickly as he could, well, without getting a ticket.
She dug her nails into the paneling as he drove... "DONT KILL US!"
"I promise I wont" Bryce said.
It wasn't long before they made it to the hospital.

She opened her eyes as they stopped and sighed then hit him on the shoulder.
"Didn't have to attempt to injure us for the second time today love... now go get the wheel chair their expecting me..."
Bryce had been flustered and just gave into Miranda's demands what else could he do? Everything was happening so quickly as his mind continued to race. He still had a huge look of worry on his face as he got the wheelchair and got her in it before explaining what was going on, frantically of course. At least the doctor knew what he was saying.
Randa grips the wheelchair as he wheels her in sighing as they entered the hospital. She didn't say anything until they got them to a room and on a monitor begging to God that their daughter would be okay.
Bryce sat by his wife's bed as the monitor beeped. He was on a chair with his head in his hands. He tried to hide it but his breathing was rapid.
"Please let them be okay" Bryce said softly.
She took his hand and smiled softly at him.
"I love you Bryce...." she whispered and winced as she felt Olivia move during a contraction.
He felt his hand being brought from his head into Miranda's. His worried brown eyes looked at her in that hospital bed. He couldn't believe this was happening, all of those issues she had before, once they settled he didn't think anything of it. Until the call he got earlier from his wife. She would be born at 27 weeks, this would just make the medical bills sore. Since she would have to remain in the hospital for a while . His thoughts settled hearing Miranda's words. A small smile spread on his face, but that didn't change his worried eyes.
"I love you too" he squeezed her hand. "Always"

*~HOURS LATER~*

"OWWWW!" she said as she pushed the tiny baby out she hoped Liv would be okay while they made her do this.
The time had passed and soon enough they were ready for their daughter to be born. It seemed so quick, being the third child it did happen like that though. Bryce held his wife's hand as she started to push. In his head he continued to pray for the survival of both his wife and daughter.
As she felt Olivia come into the world it didnt feel right. she was too tiny and not ready for the world. it didnt hurt as much as the twins did but the contractions were horrendous and Miranda didnt know what to do so she kept pushing when the doctor told her to. she started crying as soon as their tiny daughter slipped free with a weak cry and leanded against the pillows as the doctors rushed to get olivia into an incubator.
"Is she okay?"
Bryce watched as the tiny baby was born Olivia's cry was weak. He didn't get much of a chance to really see her when they rushed her to NICU. Bryce went up to the doctors wondering what was going on.
"She's 16 inches long and about two and a half pounds, her lungs arn't fully developed and neither are her retinas. She also needed help with her digestive system and she will have tobe fed through a tube"
"Is she going to be okay?" Bryce asked anxiously
"She's a very premature baby but there is a 95% chance of survival" The doctor replied before taking another call.
Miranda didn't believe that she was that tiny and just blinked owlishly at Bryce. she wanted everything to be okay and squeezed his hand. she didn't know why she was so weak and leaned back and closed her eyes. just for a moment that was all. She could barely hear the nurses call her name drifting to oblivion.
Bryce felt her hold his hand but her grip seemed weak. Bryce's heart beat rapidly as his anxiety skyrocketed. What was going off he noticed Miranda drift off and the machines beeped.
"MIRANDA!"

Miranda felt like everything was floating. The lights around her the voices (mostly Bryce's and her family) she even heard tony telling her not to quit on him and that Olivia needed her mommy to be there for her. she couldn't seem to open her eyes. they were too heavy she felt like she was light and quick and after everything she squeezed the hand ever so lightly that was in hers and hoped... hoped that Livvie was alright and Bry wasn't freaking out too much.
The doctors swarmed around her Bryce wasn't sure what to do. He felt helpless as they did all they could to save her. The world was swirling Bryce felt as if he was running a marathon without a chance to stop. He couldn't breathe his heart beat out of his chest the room swirled as he found himself with a need to sit down. The vertigo was intense. His palms were sweaty as he watched. Why couldn't he do something.
"Don't leave me Miranda!" He called out with shaky breathes.
"Oh God please, don't take her from me. Don't take Olivia either. Let them both live they have to." He prayed silently as his brown eyes watched the doctors.
Bryce reached out to his wife the hand he had been holding previously was limp. He couldn't touch her, he wanted to he had to He felt tears in his eyes.
"Don't leave me, not again"

*~THE NEXT DAY~*

Time had gone by, the doctors were able to stabilize Miranda but she had been out cold the whole night. Bryce couldn't sleep he had updated his parents and a few of his siblings on what was going on. The twenty five year old was at loss. He sat next to her the whole night, watching her praying to God that he wouldn't take her. Bryce had seen Olivia for a few moments and he just prayed for his daughter's survival as well. He wouldn't eat, he wouldn't sleep.
She squeezed the hand again in hers lightly again her body feeling alot less light and floaty as she did earlier. it felt like eternity that she was 'sleeping' and her eyes fluttered open and she winced at the light that filtered through her half open lids. "what? where?" she looked around frantically and tried to sit up worried about where she was.
The morning came and he was holding her hand still as he felt a sudden tug and Miranda's eyes fluttered open.
"Oh my God! Miranda!" Bryce said happy and nervous at the same time still clinging to her.
