It was way just before midnight and Rachel Barbara St James had too much on her mind. Not only her idiot of a husband was complaining that he couldn't even kiss her comfortably, she was in fact 9 months pregnant with her's and Jesse's daugther.

"Rach? What are you doing up?" Shelby asked entering the dimly lit room. Shelby and Beth(who was now 10) was staying over for the Christmas holidays

"Couldn't sleep"

Shelby chuckled "Not surprised. When I was pregnant with you, I was huge. What you watching?"

"Thumbelina, Daddy gave me the video of it when I was 3 and ever since I've loved the song "Let me be your wings". I won a singing competition with it when I was 5"

"Hm,you've always had my singing lungs,that's for sure,decided on names yet?"

"I like Hannah but Jesse likes Ava"

Just then Beth stumbled in "Mom? What's Rach doing up?"

"Beth, go back to sleep"

"I can't sleep,Pookie's snoring and Jesse just keeps farting"

"Come here" Rachel beckoned Beth to come closer

"You do realise what night it is tonight ?"

Beth then realised that it was Christmas Eve and rushed back upstairs before Santa would catch her awake

"She'll be up early,you okay ?" Shelby sounded concerned. Rachel had gripped onto the armchair and was wheezing slightly

"Contraction?"

"Yep...that's my..."she paused for a moment to think "Tenth in the past hour"

"Don't worry, once they've finished, you'll finally have a little girl"

"I know"

"Try and get some rest yeah?" Shelby rubbed Rachel's shoulder and headed upstairs.

In the morning, Jesse found Rachel lying on the couch

"Hohoho"he softly whispered in her ear

Rachel's eyelids fluttered open. As she opened them, she winced "Ouch" she muttered under her breath

"Another one?" Jesse raised his left eyebrow

"Mmm, they're getting worse each hour"

"It's gonna be alright. No worries, about a thing, cause every little thing, is gonna be alright"

Rachel smiled weakly "Shut up"

"Shut up, just shut up, shut up, shut up,just shut up shut up"He sang

"Jesse..."Rachel's voice had an edge to it

"You know I wish I had Jesse's girl, I want Jesse's girl. Why can't I find a woman like that, like Jesse's girl"

"Stop quoting songs! This is serious!"

"Okay,I won't quote songs"

"Thank you"

"I'll quote movies instead"
