It had been 7 weeks since Tracy had gone on her honeymoon. 6 weeks ago she had her wedding. The whole of the dumping ground was invited. She then went on a 6 week cruise honeymoon. The big door creaked open. Tee and Carmen ran to the stairs. Mike greeted his fellow care worker. She said, "We're all back!" Mike said, "There were only 2 of you though."
Tee and Carmen ran down the stairs and hugged her.
Tee said, "Tell us everything!" Mike said, "You have to! One thing though. Why the thick baggy jumper in the middle of July?" She said, "Well..." She took the jumper off. Tee exclaimed, "wow Tracy!"
As she noticed the tiny bump, Carmen said, "Oh my god! Tracy!" Mike said, "Follow me!" She picked up her bag and followed him into the office. Mike had stopped the others and sent them away. He got in there. Gina said, "Hiya Tracy."
She hugged her. Mike said, "Tracy. Tell us!" Gina said, "the wedding..."
Mike said, "the other thing too!" Gina said, "What?" Tracy said, "I'm pregnant." Mike said, "Come on."
Tracy sat down and said, "Well. It was the 2nd week of the cruise I realised. I took a test and it was positive! Seth was over the moon. He bought me loads. We got back yesterday. He made me breakfast in bed and that sort of stuff."
Mike hugged her and said, "Have you gone through it all though? Expenses, space. What about work?" Gina said, "You could always bring the baby here." Mike said, "Yeah. We'd look after it. The kids won't leave you alone!" Tracy said, "I could. I'm due April 18th and Seth is away with the band from April 27th till June 30th."
Months later it was April 10th. Tracy was coming through the door. Mike said, "Come Tracy. The guys want to show you something."
He led her to the living room. They all shouted, "Surprise!" Tracy said, "wow guys thanks!"
Half way through the party Tracy was chatting to sapphire. She had a paper plate with a slice of sponge cake on. She took a bite. She suddenly put the plate down on the table and took a deep breath.
Sapphire said, "Tracy. Are you ok?" She shook her head. Mike came over. He said, "Are you ok?"
She shook her head. He led her out the room and to the office. He sat her down and said, "Tracy. What's wrong?" She said, "I don't know. I can't describe the pain. It's not labour or a kick." He said, "Should I call Cam and get her to take you to hospital?"
She nodded. A couple of days later it was April 12th. It was 10 o'clock. Mike said, "Gina. She's not here!" She said, "Don't worry. Give her time."
He said, "She should've been here 3 hours ago. The hospital cleared her!" The phone rang.
Mike answered, "Hello. Elm tree house."
Cam said, "Mike!"
He said, "Cam. What's up?"
She said, "We're at the hospital now. She went into labour around 3 o'clock this morning. Seth can't make it. He's in Birmingham on some gig. She wants you. The one the other side of town."
He said, "Okay. I'll see you soon."
He put the phone down. Gina said, "What's up?" He said, "She went into labour 3 o'clock this morning. Seth is at a gig and can't make it so she wants me. Tell the kids where I've gone." He ran out the door and drove to the hospital.
Gina went to the living room. Gus said, "Gina. Tracy was supposed to be here 3 hours ago. Why isn't she here?" She said, "She went into labour 3 this morning. Cam's with her and Mike has just left." Gus said, "What about Seth?"
She said, "He can't make it. At a gig in Birmingham and can't get out of it."
At the hospital mike ran into the reception. He said, "Maternity ward?" The nurse pointed down a corridor. He went to that reception. He said, "Tracy beaker?" She said, "Are you a visitor or birthing partner?" Cam came out. She said, "Birthing. Come on mike." He went with her to Tracy. She said, "Mike!" He hugged her. She said, "I feel really bad."
Mike said, "Worse than the worm incident with Justine? And duke's courgettes?"
She nodded. He said, "That reminds me. Justine popped in when you went in 2 days ago. She heard you were pregnant. You need to call her Cam. She wants to speak to you." Tracy said, "Mike. Are you sure I can bring the baby URGHHH..."
Mike said, "You ok?" She nodded. Cam said, "Deep breaths." A nurse came in. She said, "Are you the mother?" Cam nodded. She said, "Come."
They went outside. She said, "Name, age, any family info, when she went into labour." Cam said, "Tracy beaker. 23. I'm her foster mother. Her dad died when she was 7 and her mum left her so she was put in care and I fostered her. She went into labour 3 this morning. We brought her in 2 hours ago at 8-30." The nurse said, "Who is that man?" She said, "Mike. He's the head care worker at where she works. Elm tree house. He was her care worker when she was little. A father figure for her."
Whilst they had this conversation mike said, "So what happened today?" She said, "Well. I woke this morning at 3. URGHH." He said, "Deep breaths." She nodded and continued with, "well. I thought it was nothing so I left it. It wasn't and 2 hours later I woke again. We rang the hospital and they said ring again when the contractions were 10 mins apart. I was going to come in to work as they were hours apart. I couldn't anyway. The ambulance came at 8 o'clock and we got here at 8-30. URGHH..."
Mike said, "Deep breaths Tracy. In and out. In and out." She nodded.
Cam came in with the nurse. She said, "Both birthing partners?" Tracy said, "Yes."
The nurse said, "Contractions?" She said, "2 minutes." She then said, "Can I check?" She nodded.
The nurse checked. She said, "1 cm left!" Cam hugged Tracy. Mike rang the care home.
Tee answered. She said, "Hello elm tree house."
He said, "Hey tee. Its mike."
She said, "Hey mike! What's going on? Is Tracy ok?"
He said, "She's fine. You guys coming?"
She said, "We're working on it."
He said, "I've gotta go. Bye tee!"
She said, "Bye."
The nurse came and checked again. She said, "You're ready!" She said, "Really?" She nodded. They went through to the delivery room. There were many people in the room. Tracy, Mike, Cam, a doctor, a nurse and a midwife.
The nurse was ready with a blanket. Mike was to Tracy's right and Cam to her left. They both held her hands.
5 minutes later, Mike said, "You did it!" She was out of breath. She said, "Boy or girl?" Cam said, "Girl." The midwife had wrapped her up and given her to Cam. The doctor said, "Next one..." Tracy said, "They're twins? We only have stuff for a baby girl." He said, "Right. I can see the head. Start now!" She pushed. The doctor said, "You can't have it naturally. You have to have a C-section."
