*~*Chapter 8*~*

When Lainie got to the hospital Natalie was in a room and Taylor and Diana was with her. Tara, Walker, and Ike were in the waiting room on Zac's floor. Lainie walked in.

"Momma," Tara said and started crying.

"Baby, it's okay." Lainie said.

"Walker, Ike, this is my mom Lainie." Tara told them.

"It's nice to meet you, you have an incredible daugher. You know she jumped in freezing cold to save someone that she didn't know." Walker told her.

"But she does know him." Lainie then said.

"Yeah, she knows him, but she didn't know that it was him who fell in the water." Ike explained.

"Oh...OW!" Lainie exclaimed and touched her stomach.

"My water just broke." Lainie said.

"You too!" Tara exclaimed and looked at the floor. "Ew." Tara got a nurse to bring her mom down to a room.

"Sweety, why don't you go with your mom. Zac won't be out of surgery for 40 minutes." The nurse told her.

"Will you come and get me 10 minutes before you think they're done, just incase if they get done faster than we think?" Tara asked.

"Of course I will." The nurse told her.

Tara went in her mom's room and sat down in a chair where you can lay your legs out. She started crying and fell asleep.

"Miss," the nurse shook her.

"Hmm, oh my gosh, I fell asleep!" Tara freaked for a second.

"Zac is about to get out of surgery." The nurse told her.

"Thank you so much." Tara said standing up and then looked at her mom who was asleep. The doctor gave her a shot to numb her.

Tara walked out of the room and then saw Diana and Taylor walking out of the room next to her. They went to the waiting room on Zac's floor.

About 3 minutes later, the doctor walked in.

"Zac, seems fine and we are putting him in the I.C.U.. We are predicting that he will wake-up in about a week." The doctor told them.

"So he's going to be okay?" Diana asked.

"He will be fine, but we still need to keep a close eye on him, just incase." The doctor walked out of the room.

About an hour later, the five of them went to see Zac.

"I'm sorry, but this is family only." A nurse told Tara.

"It's okay, she's his fiance'." Diana said putting her hands on Tara's shoulders.

"Aren't you two a little young?" The lady asked.

"Miss, you don't have to know our life story. Come on sweety," Diana took Tara's hand.

"Thank you," Tara told Diana and walked in his room. She stood beside him and took his hand. Diana, Walker, Ike, and Tay left the room. Tay went to be with Natalie and the others went back to the waiting room to sleep.

"Hey, Zac, it's me, Angel. I didn't mean for us to be together again like this. I have never felt this way before in my life. You mean more than anything else in the world to me. You have to wake up soon." Tara told him. She held his hand and then fell asleep.

"Sweety, wake-up, your mom is going to have her baby in 5 minutes. She wants you to be in there when she has it." Diana told her.

"Okay." Tara replied and they ran to the elevator. "What about Natalie?"

"She's fine, she should have her baby in about 5 minutes too." Diana laughed.

"That is so crazy." Tara smiled.

"Do you smile a lot?" She asked.

"Yeah," she replied.

"You are a beautiful girl, but when you smile, you look even more beautiful." Diana told her.

"Thank you." Tara smiled real big. She changed into some blue doctor type outfits and went into the emergency room.

EW! This is the grossest thing ever!---Tara thought to herself.

"Go look," Lainie told her.

"You must think I'm f**king crazy and perverted if you think that. Gross." Tara made a disgusted look knowing her mom would laugh. "You really scare me at times."

Lainie laughed, "I needed that." Lainie laughed.

"Stop laughing it might shoot out!" Tara exclaimed and she laughed again. Lainie squeezed Tara's hand real hard and pushed one last time. Her baby brother was born. He weighed 8lbs and 6 oz. Tara walked out and to see what was going on with Natalie.

"She had a boy!" Diana came out and exclaimed. "Too bad her parents weren't here for this."

"Yes they are," Natalie's mom smiled walking out and took off the little mask thing she had to wear.

"Oh my gosh!" Diana exclaimed. Tara was taking off the blue clothes that were covering her own. She went upstairs to see Zac.

She has not left the hospital in 4 days. Lainie hdd brought Tara's clothes to the hospital the 2nd day so she could take a shower and change.

Tara was sleeping early the 5th morning and she felt Zac's hand move. She sat up immediately and heard a groan.

"Zac," Tara said standing up and sitting beside him on his bed.

"Angel," he cried and she leaned down and hugged him as he wrapped his arms around her. They were both crying hysterically. "I love you so much!"

"I love you too!" She cried.

"Wait, where am I?" He asked.

"You're at the Washington Hospital and DC. Do you remember what happened that night?" Tara asked.

"All I remember was some guy tapping me on the shoulder and then punched me really hard." He then said.

"So you didn't get robbed or anything?" She asked.

"I might have been after I got knocked out." He said softly. "How did you know I was here?"

"Well, I was walking through the park and I heard some guy screaming so I ran over to the bridge and saw some dude in the water. I jumped in, pulled him to the bank and then did C.P.R. When the ambulance got there and we got inside and realized that the guy was you. I never meant for us to be together like this." She told him and then started crying. "I was so scared that I had lost you!"

"You didn't lose me, it's okay now." Zac told her.

They both looked at the door and saw Walker, Diana, Ike, and Tay standing at the door in tears.
