"There is an emergency of a pregnant woman in labor, call 911 now !"
"The Halloween celebration is ongoing and the traffic jam outside the airport is a disaster, It'll be difficult for an ambulance to get in here", retorted the second woman.
"The pregnant woman is panicking out of shock, and her waters have broken, I'm afraid If there's more delay, both the mother and child will be in danger, something needs to be done".
These conversations caused the people around the emergency room in the airport to be more apprehensive.
The airport could not find professional medical personnel for the case at hand, and the nearest hospital was at least an hour away, with the severe traffic jam, outside the airport, it could take twice the duration. The Halloween, festival is marked by children all over the city dressed in costumes, it is also a travel season, where the city is graced with visitors coming to see the famous Statue of Liberty. Tons of cars were parked outside of the airport, hence making it extremely difficult for the ambulance to get into the premises, so there was no time to risk the expecting mother.
Coincidentally Emily Maxwell just onboarded from her flight, hearing the announcement of an emergency of a pregnant woman in labour needing the attention of a medical personnel. On listening to it she rushed into the waiting area asking for the emergency room, she was directed toward it. On arrival, she announced to the security personnel by the door, "I'm a professional obstetrician, where's the patient?" Revealing her means of Identification to him.
"Please follow me quickly." The security took Emily Maxwell inside.
The pregnant woman's face was pale already, she was sweating profusely, and her eyes were tightly closed. She was gradually losing consciousness
Emily Maxwell stepped forward, first checking her pulse rate, she was doing well just that, it wasn't stable. Administer 0.5ml oxytocin into the IV, she ordered.
She needs to be induced to hasten up the process, she is losing consciousness.
The pregnant woman was very weak, she was having rasped breath. She grabbed Emily Maxwell's hand tightly and cried, "Are you… a doctor?, I'm so scared, please, save my baby!"
"Don't worry, you'll both be fine, I have experience." Emily Maxwell opened the top of the woman's clothing a little to ease her breath, and also encouraged, "I'm here, I will not let anything happen to you."
"Now, listen to me, Open your legs let me have an examination on you, and try to regulate your breathing."She checked her she was fully dilated and the baby was about to crown.
Emily Maxwell is an obstetrician and has had the experience for years, she knows how important it is for the expectant mother not to panic and conserve her energy for the delivery, only then could there be a safe mother and a healthy baby.
She comforted the pregnant woman by gently patting her on the shoulder and specially instructed the staff around, "Remember to inform the ambulance team of the need for an incubator since we're about to deliver a preterm baby.
"It has been taken note of " The staff retorted in unison.
Emily Maxwell's prowess was quite alluring and amazing, her intelligence allowed her to calmly assist the soon-to-be mother in distress, bringing hope to everyone present in the emergency to be deeply impressed by her efforts.
She firmly held the expectant mother's hand, comforting her, "Don't be nervous, deeply breath in and out, and maintain this exercise it will help with the pain and preserve your energy". You're doing great, we are almost there," she assured her.
"I want to poop!" cried the pregnant woman.
Emily Maxwell turned around to see the baby's head coming out, she instructed her to keep on the breathing exercise, And only push when I asked you to.
Ten minutes later, the baby's eerie cries filled the emergency room.
The mother successfully gave birth to a vibrant baby boy.
Emily Maxwell cleaned the baby briefly and cut the umbilical cord. Everyone in the emergency gave a deep sigh of relief.
Whoever was able to give aid during an emergency is seen as a hero.
Not before long, the paramedics from the ambulance pushed through into the room. Emily Maxwell cleaned herself up and pulled her luggage as there would be no need for her presence anymore.
A woman who had been there all through the delivery, jerked back to her reverie and dashed after her, saying "Doctor, thank you for your, assistance, could you please leave your contact information? We would like to thank you properly "
Emily Maxwell waved her hand, saying that would be unnecessary, just a line to call into duty, showing no sign of slowing down, instead, increasing her pace.
She had acted to save lives today out of medical ethics, and never thought of any commendation afterward, she would do that repeatedly wherever the need may arise.
The delivery she assisted in delayed her for an hour, despite the way it was filled an hour ago, only a few people were left in the waiting area.
A middle-aged man in a six-piece suit stood and was impatiently stomping his foot. He was the driver sent by the Maxwell family to pick up Emily Maxwell. After waiting for a while without any trace of her he had become terrified. He queried inwardly, " Could she be lost? Or she never get on the flight? This is such a waste, for making me wait. The man was the Maxwell family's steward, Tom Hadley.
The Maxwell family was a well-known, wealthy household in New York City. A lot of people wanted to establish a relationship with them.
Emily is the Maxwell family’s non-existent daughter who is never around but well known in the papers because she had always lived in a remote town and had hardly been to the Maxwell family’s residence.
This was her first official visit to the city, which marked her return to the Maxwell family.
Tom Hadley glanced at his wristwatch. It was seven-thirty already, and the plane had landed at six. He has been unable to make contact with her for a full hour and a half. Surely, the young mistress must have lost her way or never got on the plane. He snarled inwardly.
He took swift strides towards the receptionists' desk in the waiting area to ask of any lost visitor.
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice spoke "Are you sent by Joe Maxwell to pick me up?"
The head of the Maxwell family is Joe Maxwell. Tom Hadley furrowed his brow in disapproval in the city of New York who dared to call the old man by his full name with no courtesy?
Was she not given the Maxwell family values?
Displeased, he turned around, readying himself to admonish the speaker: “How dare you…”
Before he could finish his utterance, he was surprised by the person in front of him, his words got trapped in his throat.
"You You You…” Tom Hadley was so startled he began to stutter: “Are you daughter to the Maxwell family?”
As the driver of the Maxwell family, Tom Hadley had known a bit of them. He knew that Emily was in Brooklyn even before he had met her.
Brooklyn is a few hour's drive from the city, residents there are quite wealthy, but they are the rich type without an iota of taste— their tycoons drape themselves in gold chains and peacock flaunting themselves in town, eager to let the whole world know they are well to do.
However, Emily was graciously different. She is stunningly beautiful, with caramel-like skin. She has dark hazel orbs, that could make one loose in them, with blonde hair falling on her shoulders. She wore simple clothes, yet they were extremely elegant. Her calm demeanor is unshakeable, an attribute that has made her excel in her profession In times of emergencies.
"She is quite different from the cold boss in Tom Hadley's impression
Emily Maxwell nodded affirming "Yes, I am Emily Maxwell. Can we leave now?"
Tom Hadley, responded still in shock "The car is waiting at the airport entrance, this way please."
Emily Maxwell followed him outside.
She had a secret buried deep inside her heart. The real Emily Maxwell is calm, and outgoing with sympathy She, however, intends to disguise all that in the city of New York until her mission is accomplished.
Her mother, Julia Yates, loved her very much, and had been her rock from childhood giving her all the support she could offer, and her uncle, Mark Yates supports her in every way, possible.
