: : Summary : : A little peek of Evelyn and Rick's diarys'. And yes, I realize that Rick wouldn't bother himself with writing in a diary, but hey, I am a dork and I want him to! I also made him kind of sappy and unrealistic, but I guess all I can say it sorry and I hope you like the story anyway.
Every so often Evelyn looks up at me with tears streaming down her face, her eyes so happy, so full, so complete. We have been content these last few months, but not complete, and now we finally are. Evelyn, Gabby, and I are finally together. I have never been so happy in my life.
Evelyn and I were together on the couch when she started to go into labor. Well, not labor, exactly, but she said that her belly hurt. I was concerned, as she was very close to her due date, and told her maybe we should go to the doctor. She declined and said that it was probably nothing. But after a few moments, I saw her eyes widen and she gasped, saying that something had just �leaked�. We stood up, expecting to see a clear liquid, as they say in the hospital, �her water broke�, but instead what we found was blood. I could see that Evelyn was getting really frightened, myself too, and so I called the doctor and told him that Evelyn had just started to bleed and she had gone to the bathroom to try and clean up. I suggested in a very stern tone that he should get over to our house as soon as possible. I�m happy to say he accepted my �suggestion�.
He arrived about twenty minutes later, carrying a black bag with him. I lead him up to our bedroom, where Evelyn was laying, trying to relax. He checked her out, and then came back outside the room to tell me what we should do. He said that we should get to the hospital immediately, because Evelyn and the baby�s lives were in danger. It didn�t take me long to decide to heed his advice. Evelyn and I were there in five minutes.
I remember the look in her eyes when I told her we had to go to the hospital. She was so scared, like a child. So I held her in my arms for a few moments before we left. I have never driven so fast in my life, never been so scared of anything. The fear I had when fighting Imhotep was nothing compared to the fear that was in my heart at that moment. Evelyn and the baby�s lives were in danger? I�d do anything to save them.
When we got to the hospital they performed what I think they called an �emergency c-section� on Evelyn, saving her and Gabby�s lives. I was so relieved. I was so scared, and then to have my fears just washed away from the moment I saw Evelyn with Gabby, I just knew everything would to be okay.
This is a strange new feeling, so be so protective over these two lives that I could not be without. I feel so much pride in Evelyn, for being so strong during her sugery. I love these girls so much it scares me. I would do anything to protect them. Anything.

**I can only write for a few minutes until Gabby will call for me, so I must be quick. But there is so much to tell! I can see that Rick already filled you in about how the birth came. I was so frightened, and I know that I could never have done that without Rick. I don�t believe I could go on without him. Honestly, I don�t think he could go on without me, either.
Anyway, Gabriella is beautiful, she�s got dark brown hair, and blue, blue eyes, just like her father. I wonder if her hair will be as unruly as mine was when I was a child. This is such an exciting time, for her to finally be here after all this waiting. There are so many things I wish I could know about her, like on her first day of school will she be scared? Will she make friends easily? Will she ever have brothers or sisters? Rick and I haven�t talked about having more children, but he knows that I want to. I believe he does too. I should make a point to ask him that, later on today, when Gabby is sleeping.
Well, there she goes. She must be hungry, I only fed her what, five minutes ago. Oh, you know what babies are like anyway!
