Destiny of Merida Bogo Prologue

The sirens blaring on his vehicle driving as quickly as he possibly could through traffic in Zootopia Chief Bogo of the ZPD was heading directly for the nearest hospital. Less than twenty minutes ago his wife had begun her labor, but something wasn't right. The moment it'd started Sarah Bogo could feel from the intense pain behind the contractions there was a problem.

Clutching her stomach, Sarah whimpered "Edward, how much further? Something's wrong with the baby."

"Just hold on, Sarah, we're almost there," reassured Chief Bogo even though he was getting worried himself even doubtful.

By the time Chief Bogo managed to reach the hospital the pain for Sarah was excruciating with the time between contractions being barely five minutes apart. She could barely walk so Chief Bogo had to practically carry her through the doors into the main lobby.

Fortunately, before they'd left their house, Chief Bogo had called ahead to the hospital informing them of the situation. So the instant they arrived at the hospital there was a nurse and two orderlies already prepared waiting to take them.

The entire time they traveled to the delivery room Chief Bogo never once let go of his wife's hand. Doing his best to soothe her pain. Even when she was brought into the room separating them since he needed to put on the necessary material he made sure it was brief. Soon enough the doctor was telling Sarah to push and with her husband supporting her she did so with all of her might. She was screaming so loud it was a wonder the entire hospital didn't hear her.

With one final push a healthy baby girl was born wailing as she was introduced to the world around her for the very first time.

Eyes shining in utter joy Chief Bogo looked to his wife to tell her what their baby was, saying "It's a girl! Sarah, it's a…Sarah?"

Exhausted, covered in sweat, Sarah's eyes rolled into the back of her head as she fell into unconsciousness. Chief Bogo felt her hand go limp in his own. At the same time an erratic beeping filled the room as the neighboring machines showed her vital signs completely flat lining. Immediately Chief Bogo was pushed out as more people came in converging in on Sarah. Chief Bogo protested, but he was locked out leaving him to nervously sit outside in the waiting area for news of his wife's condition.

After what seemed like hours Chief Bogo saw the doctor approach. As Chief Bogo got up he was hopeful, but that was destroyed when he caught the expression on the guys face as he shook his head.

Sarah Bogo was dead.

Chief Bogo's heart sank at the news collapsed back into the chair. His head fell into his hands as his body heaved with suppressed sobs. The doctor informed him Sarah's heart had been under too much stress and had given out after the birth. There was nothing that could've been done. The only consolation he had was she didn't suffer it was over quick. Seeing the state he was in the doctor left the newly made father alone allowing him to mourn in peace.

And speaking of him being a new father.

When the baby had been cleaned and checked over for any signs of abnormalities she was brought out to her father. Still a bit in shock over the sudden loss of his wife Chief Bogo could only stare at the tiny being he was now holding in his arms. She was so tiny, helpless, and the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

The infant started to fuss as she squirmed a bit in his arms. At her discomfort something seemed to come over Chief Bogo something he'd never felt before.

"There now," breathed Chief Bogo, softly. "It's all right Daddy's here. Daddy's got you." At the sound of his voice the baby stopped crying gazing up at him with wide curious eyes. The exact blue eyes belonging to her deceased mother. "I promise I won't let anything happen to you…Merida."
