The moment Jessica and Sam saw the puddle of blood in the bed, they knew that something was not right. Their whole world shifted in a matter of seconds. With a high risk pregnancy like this anything could go wrong.

Jessica and Sam panicked as Sam tried to get her downstairs into the car. Sam woke up Olivia before they left.

"Olivia, I need you to stay here with Logan. I'm talking mom to the hospital." Sam says quickly

"Where is she? Is she okay?" Olivia says

Sam starts to tear up. "It's the baby... we have to go. I'll call you with updates." Sam doesn't waste another second. He rushes out the door and into the car to be with Jessica.

When he gets in she is bawling her eyes out. She prays and prays when she cradles her belly. She couldn't believe this was happening.

"Sam we can't lose this baby. I don't know what I'll do if I lose her.... I'm so stupid I'm so stupid!" She yells

"You're not stupid and we won't lose her. You have to relax..."

"Relax? Sam I think I'm having a miscarriage!" She cries

When they arrive to hospital nurses quickly take Jessica away on a wheelchair and get her into the room. In the mean time Sam checks Jessica in as fast as he can so he can be with her.

Luckily their doctor was on call and able to make it in as soon as possible.

They sat in the room softly crying as they waited for answers.

The doctor does an exam on Jessica. It was quite painful, on top of her contractions.

"On the phone you said that the pain I was feeling was normal and it was Braxton Hicks!" Jessica cries

The doctor was silent as he continued the exam.

"What's going on? Can you please tell us?" Sam begs

The doctor sits up and looks at Sam and Jessica with sad eyes.

"Jessica, you've gone into labor." The doctor says softly

"Labor?" Jessica says with a broken heart

"And I can't find a heartbeat." He says with even more disappointment.

Right in that moment Jessica felt a immense amount of pain in her chest. Never has she had this type of feeling of complete and utter failure. She was responsible for the life inside her. Her job was to protect this baby and she couldn't even do that.

Sam looked at her with devastated eyes and took his wife's hand. Jessica started to cry. It was loud, it was heart wrenching.

"So what do we do next?"

"Well, this will go just like any other labor and delivery..." he says

"But the baby won't be alive." Jessica sobs

The doctor clears his throat and sighs. "Yes... unfortunately. But Jessica you have the option of a c-section or you can have a natural birth. If you'd like, we can give you a epidural. You're three centimeters dilated." He says

"What do you want to do, baby?" Sam says with tears in his eyes.

"I want to have a natural birth. No epidural. I want to feel everything..." she says sternly

The doctor nods his head. "Okay. We can do that."

Back at the house:

It was seven in the morning. Olivia stayed awake all night waiting for something from Sam or Jessica. She was a nervous wreck. She saw the blood all over the sheets and immediately knew that something was wrong.

It is Logan's seventh birthday and nobody is home but Olivia. She felt so bad for Logan. Obviously his birthday wouldn't be going as planned.

Olivia took it upon herself to make Logan his favorite breakfast and try to make his birthday as good as it could get on a day like this.

"Livy? Where is mommy and daddy? Did they die?" He cries

"No! They didn't die! Mommy is at the hospital because of the baby. But they'll be home soon!" Olivia smiles trying to cheer him up

"But mommy's bed has blood everywhere! I went to go wake them up and they weren't there!" He pouts

"I know... but it's fine. Look, I'm making you you're favorite breakfast!"

"Ohhh, thank you livy!" He smiles

Olivia leaves the room to call Dorthy. She couldn't be alone right now with Logan. She was so scared. She knew that Dorthy would help make Logan's birthday special.

"Grandma?" Olivia panics

"Olivia, is everything okay?"

It has been a while since anyone has talked to Jessica's parents. She didn't want anyone calling them.

"No... mom bled out this morning and she's at the hospital. I think something is wrong with the baby. And poor Logan it's his...."

"His birthday... oh no. I'll come over right now!"

At the hospital:

"Four centimeters..." the nurse says softly

Jessica didn't react. Usually, Jessica would say it's going to slow, but right now it was going too fast. Jessica wanted to soak up all the time she had with the baby inside of her.

The pain was out of this world. Jessica has never done it naturally but the pain wasn't going to make her change her mind. She wanted to feel all the pain as a "punishment" for losing her baby. She couldn't stop beating herself up over it.

Jessica hunches over and cries in pain.

"Another strong one?" Sam asks

"Yes." She whimpers

Sam gets behind Jessica and holds her hips in place to held the pain subside.

"Logan." Jessica says

"Logan...." Sam repeats, trying to think

"His birthday, Sam!" Jessica throws her head back and cries even harder.

Today was very emotional and Jessica felt drained. She didn't know what to do. She just wished that everything was normal.

"I haven't called Olivia yet. I need to call her. Do I have them come here?" Sam asks

Jessica thinks for a moment. She thought maybe it was best for them to come for a little bit. She knew they'd give her a small ounce of happiness.

"Yes."

Olivia's POV:

She had just gotten off the phone with Sam. Jessica's heart sunk and broke into a million pieces. How could something like this happen to her mother? Jessica had been through so much, she didn't understand why god was doing this to her mother and unborn sister.

Dorthy was at the house with them and when she saw Olivia get off the phone she rushed to her.

"Honey, what's going on?" Dorthy says

"Mom is in labor... the baby doesn't have a heartbeat. She's going to be stillborn. Mom wants me to bring Logan over for a little so we can all talk." Olivia struggles to say

Dorthy was just as shocked as Olivia and she cried with her. Dorthy wanted to be with her daughter so badly.

"I'll drive you."

"Grandma, I don't know if..."

"No, I'm driving you. Your mother is my daughter and I need to be there for her. Whether she hates me right now or not."
