Birth of A Unicorn Princess

After the events that had happened after Ray Finkle’s arrest and incarceration, a pregnant Lieutenant Lois Einhorn was in her office at the Miami-Dade Police Department. She was around 34-35 weeks along but considering her entire pregnancy (which was achieved by artificial insemination and a sperm donor) had been high risk, she knew the baby could come any day. She’d been working on making sure Finkle couldn’t get out of the SuperMax facility in which he’d been imprisoned and according to the inmates, being there was a fate worse than death or hell on earth as they put it. She smiled to herself as being held hostage for seven years or so had been hell on earth so she did not care if being in a SuperMax prison was hell for Finkle. 

A twinge in her abdomen made the young Lieutenant wince in pain. She’d been expecting this. Was it labor exactly, she wasn’t quite sure yet. Inhaling sharply, she collected herself and began reciting her breathing, hoping that this was a one-off. Her suspicions were soon confirmed as she was overcome by a sharp contraction. Damn it.... She knew she needed to call for help. 

Rising to her feet, she groaned as she inched her way across the office floor to the door. Her hands were shaky as she grabbed the door knob and thrust open the door. The officers, detectives, and Sergeants all turned in surprise to see their Commanding Officer doubled over.

“Someone please call an ambulance...”

She pleaded in a whimper.

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Aguado said as he immediately grabbed the phone receiver and dialled 911.

Everything was a blur after that because before Einhorn knew it, she was being bundled into an ambulance on a stretcher and rushed to the nearest hospital. This was bad. It was more than likely time to deliver but that did not mean it would be an easy delivery. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived at its destination. 

There was commotion as the Police Lieutenant was rushed inside, through Triage and to Labor and Delivery. Sounds were overlapping as Lois tried to make sense of everything. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears as she was hooked up to a fetal monitor. She bit back a scream as another contraction rippled its way through her. Soon enough she could hear the familiar voices of Ace, Emilio and Aguado. Fair enough, there was a chance the donor had been either Ace or Sgt. Aguado. Emilio was there to support his friends. She was dating the now famous Ace Ventura Pet Detective after all. 

Hours passed and the pains became stronger as her body contracted in labor. She could hear the doctor and nurses as well as the others urging her to push which she did. Finally, after 37 hours of labor, she delivered a tiny, fussing baby girl who was considered premature at around 35 weeks. 

“Please let me see my baby...”

She asked in a soft voice. The crying child was placed in her arms. Marvelling at the preemie’s miniature beauty for a moment, she caressed the downy soft brown hair atop the baby’s head as she provided skin to skin contact to boost the immune system. 

“Shhhh.....Lois Kathryn.... Mommy loves you, my little Kitten...”

She cooed in a soft voice, kissing the preemie’s forehead. 

“I’m so proud of you, love. You did it.”

Ace was heard saying as he pressed a kiss to her temple, beaming with pride as tears stung his eyes.

“I love you...”

Lois said, as she kissed the Pet Detective. However all was not well in paradise as there was yet more commotion. The baby was swiftly moved from her mother’s arms as the doctor told Lois she was bleeding out and needed surgery to save her life. The next few minutes were a blur once more as she was prepped for surgery and put under. All she could think about was her daughter as everything went black.

When the Lieutenant came to in the recovery room, she noted a bag of blood attached to an IV pole. Following the catheter, she looked at her hand ...And then it hit her. She’d needed a transfusion as well. Once she was awake enough, she was brought to her room in the Maternity Ward. She was told that both she and her daughter had pulled through. Of course neither were out of the woods yet, but that was something at least. Lois Kathryn Einhorn had arrived... The Unicorn Princess.
