Mary Reagan was nervous here she was eighteen barley married a year and ready to give birth to her first child. She ran her hand over her stomach. "Hey there little one." She whispered. She paced as she waited for her husband to come home from his patrol. She breathed in and she breathed out and she counted contractions. She figured she was fine that was until she felt her water break and then she panicked.
She didn't have a car. Frank had taken it with him to work. They weren't expecting baby Reagan for another two weeks. This baby seemed to have a mind of his or her own though. Mary swallowed and tried to breath as she made her way to the phone hoping her Mother in law was at home. She tiled the phone as a contraction ripped through her and she doubled over holding onto the edge of the table. She heard the ringing phone as she sent up a silent prayer. Breath she reminded herself.
"Hello.' The voice of an angel came through the phone.
"Betty." Mary let out a breath of relief.
"Mary is everything okay?" Betty asked hearing the wobble in her daughter in laws voice.
"no, my water broke and Frank is at work I don't have a car."
"Well Lord child of course you shouldn't drive yourself anyway I'll be there in five minuets I'll call Henry and have him grab Frank just hold on dear." Betty Reagan hung up the phone and grabbed her coat and purse before dialing one number.
"Chief of D's office officer Ludwig speaking how can I help you." A feminine voice came over the line.
"Hello Officer Ludwig this is Betty Reagan I need you to tell my husband that our daughter in Law Mary has went into Labor and I'm going to pick her up. He needs to collect our son and meet us at the hospital.
"Of course Ma'am" with that the call was disconnected and Mary raced out of the house and towards that shared by her daughter in law and son. She made it in what she was sure was record time and was thankful no cops pulled her over but she was sure if they had she'd see the irony in the whole thing.
She parked and jumped out racing towards the door seeing Mary sitting there with her bag all packed and ready to go. "Okay dear lets get you to the hospital I called Henry's office and he will be notified and grab Frank.
"Thank you." Mary said barely able to speak.
"That's What family is for I'll call your mother when we get to the hospital."
"my mother oh I forgot all about her." Mary said as she settled into the passenger seat. As Betty drove to the hospital Henry was getting the message about his daughter in law.
"Sir your wife called." Officer Ludwig said as the chief of D walked into the office. "Your daughter in law is in labor you need to collect your son from his precinct and meet them at the hospital. Henry seemed to freeze. "now sir."
"Right cancel all my appointments." With that Henry ran out of his office at one PP and headed to the 22nd he burst through the door and everyone came to attention he may not be the commissioner but he was still high up. He waved them aside and went to the Sargent. "Can I help you Chief Reagan?"
"Yes I need my son. His wife is in labor we need to get to the hospital."
"luckily Officer Reagan just came in from tour you may go the locker room and get him. With that Henry took off at a run again. He burst into the locker room to the shock of the men inside.
"Dad what are you doing here?"
"Mary is in Labor your mother is with her at the hospital lets go son before we miss it." Frank was shell shocked as he stuffed his things into his locker and followed his father out of the precinct and the ride to the hospital was eerily quite. The two men parked and jumped out racing to the front desk and demanding the route to maternity. They found Betty in the waiting room.
"Oh good Rose is in there with her now why don't you go in Francis dear." Frank kissed his mother's cheek before going into the room and towards a new furture. Mary looked up with relief. "You made it." She breathed.
"Of course I wasn't missing this." He kissed her and hugged Rose.
"okay I'm going to wait out with your parents Frank. Mary Dear your father will be here soon." Mary nodded and smiled slightly as Frank took her hand. Ten hours later the two of them looked down at the tiny bundle in their arms. "Daniel." Mary whispered snuggling her precious son.
"Daniel Fitzgerald Reagan. I say it fits him. The two new parents looked down at the precious bundle their new future their son. Their first child hopefully the first of many.
"I love you." Frank whispered to both wife and son. His future was bright and he couldn't wait to see where else it took their little family.
