I have a bad habit of getting to certain points in stories and then just not finishing them, so this is a 5-shot, got a little longer then I thought. All 5 parts are written so this will definately get complete and I am almost certain it will stay a 5-shot!


"Tom" Peri called, walking the best she could to the stairs before another immense wave of pain came over her "Tom, For go...Ah T-TOM, get d..own here..." Tom came rushing down the stairs as she was yelling in agony for him "TOM, it's hap... A..H, I think... coming" she managed as she leant onto the banister for support and started panting knowing how ridiculous and unattractive she looked but she didn't care; she was in labour!

Tom's face drained of all colour as he looked at his girlfriend "They said it was awhile yet" he said hurriedly as he made his way towards her.

"I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAID" she snapped as another shock of pain flashed through her "I've been to the antenatal classes, I think I know when the baby's coming"

"Aren't you glad Leela made you go to them now?" Tom questioned causing Peri to glare sharply at him.

"TOM" she shouted.

"Right..." he said jumping into action, walking in the direction of the kitchen before turning back to Peri whose back was towards him, she was bent forward using the banister for support "What do I do?" he asked.

With her back towards him she rolled her eyes slightly as the pain had now stopped... for now anyway.

"Call my Mum" she snapped, turning as best she could to face him.

"Shouldn't I call an ambulance?" he asked hesitantly causing her to roll her eyes yet again before feeling another pain shoot threw her.

"You asked..." she panted as she looked up at his face "You asked what you should do, so call my Mum" she was about to speak again as she felt the tickle of hot liquid flow down her legs.

They looked at each other with identical expressions of their faces "Did you just pee yourself?" Tom asked.

"No, you moron, my water's just broke" she shouted "Call Leela Tom, I want my Mum" she said on the verge of tears "Tom, I'm scared" she whispered as she looked at him, fear and pain written all over her face "OW..wwwAhhhhhH"

"I'm calling your Mum baby, it's going to be alright, I promise"

"No...Oww D...Don't leave me" she said as more contractions overcome her small frame.

"Baby, I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here, see" he said as Peri held her hand out for him to take so he rushed forward and took it.

The phone he held to his ear rang three times before Leela answered and as he explained what was happening Peri concentrated on making the pain stop.

"Help me to the couch" Peri breathed, not caring he was speaking on the phone.

Tom did as she asked and helped her to the couch, lowering her to a sitting position.

"Is she coming?" Peri asked with a shaky voice "Because I need my Mum, I know I'm a cow to her most of the time bu..." Tom interrupted her with reassurance "Hey, hey, it's okay, she's coming" Peri seemed to sigh with relief before moaning in pain again.

"I'm going to get your baby bag" Tom went to get up but a force held him back ascshe gripped his hand like a vice.

"TOM, YOU ARE NOT LEAVING ME" she spat through gritted teeth.

Before he could reply Leela came through the door "I called an ambulance on the way over here" she said in a rush as she went to her daughter's side.

"Mum..." Peri said, looking up at her Mum with tears in her eyes before the pain started again causing her to squeeze her eyes tightly shut wishing it would stop.

The ambulance finally sounded outside.

"The ambulance is here" Leela announced as she went to stand up.

"Don't leave me" Peri said in a panic "I need you "she said before looking at Tom who was rubbing circles in her back trying to comfort her.

"I'm not going anyway" Leela reassured her baby girl as two paramedics came through the open front door with a wheelchair, Peri looked at them with fearful eyes as she breathed through her growing contractions.
