*Too Soon Part 7*

~Irisis~

I lay in the hospital bed tears flowing down my face. Since early this morning I had been feeling contractions and I was terrified since I was only at around 30 weeks. I figured this was my punishment for nearly going through with the pregnancy termination at the start of this whole thing.

"Please God....please don't let my little girl die." I cried to myself as another pain shot through me causing me to groan out loudly.

"Its ok Irisis...im here honey. And your brothers getting here as fast as he can sweetheart." My mother replied in a hushed tone holding my hand and pushing back the stray hairs that stuck to my wet face.

"No mom....it...its not ok. Its too soon. Ohh god please help me, please don't take her from me. I'm so sorry for what I did! God....pleeease!" I prayed, tears pouring nonstop. I gripped my mothers hand when another sharper pain hit me full force.

~Taehyung ~

A little over another month had passed by quickly. I had been keeping tabs on Irisis and had already told Azalea & Jungkook all about what was going on. Azalea had tried numerous times to contact Irisis with no success.

I sat feeling hopeless on the sofa, all at once the door flung open.

"Taehyung! She's in the hospital!" Azalea came rushing inside, her eyes wide in panic.

"Wh...what?! Are you sure!? How do you know?!" I sprung up from the kitchen table.

"I got a call today that I thought was from Irisis but it was her mother and she told me that Iris had went into premature labor this morning and is in the hospital right now! The baby is coming now!" She cried out covering her mouth.

"Come on we have to go damnit!" I yelled out in a frenzy grabbing my keys and throwing the door open so hard it hit the wall with a loud thud.

The two followed close behind me out the building. Jungkook snatched the keys from my hand as soon as we got out the front doors of the complex.

"Here bro, I'll drive. Your far too upset right now to be behind the wheel." I didn't argue with him and jumped into the passenger's side as he quickly started up and whipped the car out onto the busy street.

Within 30 minute's we were pulling up in front of the hospital. I jumped outta the car before it had even stopped, rushing inside the place in hysteric's.

"Taehyung....Taehyung!" Azalea raised her voice as I stood at the nurses station trying to remember Irisis last name.

"Whaaat damnit!?" I turned staring with my brows furrowed at the girl.

"You can't just go rushing in on her Taehyung and cause her any more stress than she's already dealing with right now." She pulled me away from the nurses station as I yanked my arm away from her in anger. I didn't mean to be so cruel, it was just that my damn emotions were alover the place.

I knew she was right. But by god there was a woman I cared about getting ready to have a baby....my baby.

"Let me ask about her. If you go up there in the shape your in right now they'll call security and you dont need that. Ok." She said in a straightforward lowered tone as my brother walked over tryna comfort me.

I could feel tears right on the edge but I sucked them up and shook my head allowing Jungkook to led me away while Azalea talked to the nurse.

After she found out what floor she was on we all dashed to the nearest elevator and went up to the 3rd floor.

As soon as we stepped off she stopped me in the hallway.

"You can't go inside and risk upsetting her." I nodded my head knowing yet again...she was right.

Suddenly we heard Irisis screams of pain coming just down the hallway as a few nurses rushed out going in that direction. My heart felt as if it would jump up outta my throat and land right at my damn feet it beat so fast & hard. I wanted to run to her and tell her everything would be ok and I was there to help her....but I couldn't and my heart shattered when I heard her pityful plea's to God for our baby's life.

Tears automatically ran down my face as Jungkook wrapped an arm around me. I sucked up the tears wiping them from my face quickly trying to remain stoic.

Azalea took off down the hallway in a flash when she heard. I was glad that she went since Irisis and her had gotten so close and she could maybe provide her with some comfort.

"Its gonna be ok bro...it'll be ok." Jungkook kept repeating patting my back.

"No its not gonna be ok...it...it's too fuckin soon! Th...the baby could die!" I raised my voice running both my hands through my hair anxiously. I knew my little brother was only tryna comfort me the best he could, but his attempts were in vain.

Tears poured down Irises face as she prayed openly for God to protect her baby. Suddenly a familiar face stood in the doorway, a strangled sob leaving Irises mouth while she reached her arms out to the girl.

Azalea rushed over beside the lady she considered a best friend. Her heart broke seeing Iris struggling to cope with the pain & fear of possibly losing this baby.

Azalea bent over wrapping her arms around Irisis trying to control the heartache she felt. She needed to be strong right now and help this woman that had never failed to treat her with more love & kindness than her own father ever did.

"Azaleahhh..." She cried out clinging to the girl helplessly.

"Im here Iris...im here for you." She choked out, desperately trying to hold back her tears. "You...you're gonna be fine. I'll be right here for you and I won't leave your side if you want me to." A nurse patted Azalea on the shoulder.

"You need to leave miss." The nurse replied curtly.

"Nnnoo! Nnoo! I...I want her to stay with me!" Iris cried out as another pain slammed into her mercilessly.

The nurse nodded her head moving away. Irisis mom stood on one side, Azalea on the other.

The doctor walked inside the brightly lit room to check on Irisis progress, then announced that the time was nearing and she'd need to begin pushing soon.

"Is my baby ok? Please tell me she's ok." Iris stared at the doctor with red pleading eyes. Her entire face saturated in tears.

"Your baby's heartbeat is nice and strong Iris. She just chose to come a bit early my dear. Lets go ahead and help her get here, because she is most definitely ready to meet her mother today." The doctor patted Irisis knee with a half smile on her face.

The room was filled with medical staff that waited with all the proper equipment for a premature delivery.

Azalea held one hand while Irisis mother held the other, both of them chanting words of encouragement.

"Ok Miss Irisis, when you feel the next contraction i need for you to push...push...push." The doctor instructed. Iris nodded her head in acknowledgment.

"Your doing great Iris, you can do this. Your gonna be such a great mom to this little girl and she's gonna be so very lucky to have you." Azalea spoke with positivity and a small smile on her lips, even though inside she was falling all to pieces for this woman she loved dearly.

"Ok...ok, I ca...can feel it nowwww!" Iris screamed, her face turning blood red and contorting in pain as monitors bepped and swooshed loudly throughout the room.

"Puuush Iris...puuushh! Your doing great!" Both Azalea and irises mother raised their voices coaching her through while she pushed with everything she had.

"Ok relax Iris....just relax for a minute and when you feel another, push through it....your doing really great!" The doctor replied adjusting her glasses.

An older nurse patted her thigh as she laid her sweaty head back crying her eyes out still praying out loud to God for her baby's life.

Another contraction hit quickly, and another. Then the last one came.

"Ok Irisis...this is the most important one girly. Give me all you've got sweetheart." The doctor flicked her eyes up to the red faced exhausted young lady that was trying to steady her uneven breaths as the two females held her hands and talked her through it.

"Ohhhh Goddďd pleeeease!" Iris screams echoed down the corridor reaching Taehyung's ears. He could'nt stand here any longer doing nothing.

Jungkook tried to hold his brother back, but lost the battle as he jerked away and sprinted down the hallway determined to get to Irisis and the little human that was a part of him and would undoubtedly be making an appearance soon.

Taehyung looked through the small window of the delivery room watching with his mouth hung open wide as he inadvertently witnessed the miracle of his own childs birth.

The baby's tiny fragile body slipped from between Irisis wide open legs. His breath caught in his throat as he began to weep openly at the sight. His hands covering his mouth, tears pouring down his flushed face.

He kept peering through the little window frozen in his spot as the team of nurses and a doctor worked feverishly on the tiny limp infant. He could see & hear Irisis screaming and reaching toward the baby that was so small it resembled a baby doll.

They were running tubes down the baby's nose and mouth. They quickly headed for the door as he stepped to the side when they approached.

The door swung open wide while he watched them in a frenzy, he could see it was girl. He had a baby girl. His hand reached out, fingers brushing over the soft tiny arm of the wee little body as they whizzed by him.

His own body slumped against the wall slowly sliding down to the floor with a look of helplessness. He couldn't breathe...couldn't think while a gut wrenching cry worked its way up from deep within his chest.

Irisis was screaming and trying to get up from the bed. A couple of nurse's had to hold her down and sedate her so she wouldn't harm herself. After a few minutes her wailing and fighting ceased and her body relaxed. Irisis eyes fluttered shut from exhaustion and the effects of the shot.

Jungkook walked down the corridor and stood with tears in his own eyes staring down at his emotionally shattered brother. He lowered himself to his knees reaching out his arms. Taehyung clutched onto his younger sibling for dear life. All that could be heard was the pitiful sound of a young fathers desperate sobs drifting down the legnthy hallway.

He cried out for a little bity baby girl that already occupied his heart that he feared he'd already lost.
