A/N: Let's start this new year off with a bang! Here is the next chapter of the continuing story of "Here Comes Forever" that is essentially here for tying up loose ends in the rest of the stories that interweave with this whole verse; and because I really do like writing Mikki and Sebastian together!
So enjoy, and always any characters you don't recognize from Glee; belong to me and cannot be used with my permission!

Chapter 4
With her final weeks of pregnancy coming close, for the time being Mikki until that of when their daughter would be a few months old; took the time away from her job to be a full time mother; and with the due date looming, and Sebastian working up till their daughter was born, before he took a few weeks off at the insisting of Victor; got home from work and after placing his work stuff near the front door, headed into the kitchen where from the sounds that were coming from that direction, indicated that Mikki was in there.
"Hi sweetie" he said, as he entered, and saw that Mikki was at the middle kitchen bench; placing into containers food the she'd obviously been preparing, so that when their daughter was born meals for the two of them were more or less done and only needed to be reheated.
"Hi" she replied, looking up to him with a smile as she took a container lid and pressed it on to the now filled one, and grabbed a marking pen to write what it contained as well as the date, before moving it to the side and so she was able to fill more of the containers she had lined up.
"Looks like someone has been busy" said Sebastian, with a laugh as he moved over to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind and resting his hands to her now large stomach.
"I have yes" replied Mikki, with a laugh. "I think we have literally enough food here for the next six months"
"Well we definitely won't be going hungry then" said Sebastian, placing a kiss to her cheek and Mikki shook her head. "But I hope you haven't been doing this all day, and have also rested"
"I don't need to rest all the time" replied Mikki, filling up the container she had in front of her with the last of the food that was in the dish of prepared one in front of her. "As sitting down, I feel like a huge whale and I really can't get comfortable since my back is killing me" she continued as she put the spoon into the dish and then grabbed the lid for the container. "Although in saying that, also standing as well not good either, since my ankles; well they're more like cankles at the moment and are swollen up like giant balloons, ache as well"
"Hmm, just think though" said Sebastian, resting his chin against her shoulder and moving his hands over her stomach. "Our little girl will be here soon, and it will be all so worth what you're undoubtedly feeling now in regards to all that; and be the best thing ever"
"She will be, yes" replied Mikki, with a small nod and taking Sebastian's hand from her stomach and holding them, turned and wrapped them around to her back and placing a quick kiss to his lips as she too wrapped her arms around him. "And I can't wait to meet her"
"Me either" replied Sebastian, with a smile to her and kissing her. "Feels like we've waited an eternity for this"
"Yeah" said Mikki, with a nod. "So how do you feel about butter chicken for dinner?" she asked with a smile to him. "Cause I literally have like twenty containers of it here"
"Sounds amazing" replied Sebastian, with a nod of his own. "And if this is one of the things that you have cooked today"
"It is" replied Mikki, with a laugh and Sebastian gave a laugh also.
"Well I then insist that I reheat it" he said. "And then you and my little girl, go wait for dinner"
"Hmm, a girl could get use to that you know" said Mikki, with a laugh and quickly kissed him. "If you're not careful, you might find that you're doing this every night soon"
"Doesn't worry me at all" replied Sebastian, with a smile to her; and again moved his hand to the front of her stomach. "I'll do anything for my girls"
"And I will do anything for you also" replied Mikki with her own smile. "So let me put this stuff that is dirty in the dishwasher, and what is in containers now into the freezer; and get you the butter chicken to reheat"
"Okay deal" said Sebastian, with a nod. "But after that is done, you are to sit down and rest up"
"I will" replied Mikki with a small laugh and nod; and the two of them continued to work together in unison with one another in the kitchen, enjoying that of what was one of maybe the last times it would just be the two of them in their house.

After having dinner, and getting themselves comfortable in the living room; Mikki who was sitting on the sofa with her legs up across Sebastian's lap, him massaging her feet and her leaning back of the arm rest with a pillow behind her back, let out a contented sigh as he applied just the right amount of pressure to the arches of her feet.
"Hmm that feels nice" muttered Mikki with a sigh, as Sebastian gave a little laugh.
"Yeah" he said, looking over to her and seeing that she had her eyes closed and smiled. "You say that always"
"Well you give the best foot rubs" replied Mikki, opening her eyes and looking to him with a smile also. "But I need you to stop for a minute"
"Everything okay?" he asked, as he stopped and looked to her; Mikki nodding her head.
"Yeah, I just need the bathroom again" replied Mikki, with a laugh. "Our little girl is pressing on my bladder in the worst way here"
"Okay, yeah" said Sebastian, with a nod; as he helped Mikki to move her legs over to the edge of the sofa, her then getting up from the sofa unassisted.
"Back in a minute" she replied with a smile to him and headed towards the downstairs bathroom, so she didn't have to walk up the stairs to their ensuite one,; and leaning over to grab his phone, from the side table to near where he was seated; Sebastian unlocked the screen and looked to see a message from Dylan. Any baby yet?! Bee said, Mikki was messaging her today and said she was starting to feel pretty uncomfortable.
Smiling as he typed back a message to his older brother, he wondered how much longer it would be before he and Mikki got to finally meet their little girl. No, nothing yet. Soon though, hopefully. I think Miks is pretty much over it all now; and I want to meet our little girl soon as well.
Hitting enter on the message to send to Dylan, he was just about to go and send a message to Jeremy, to tell him before he asked also; that there was no baby yet, he was interrupted from his train of thought, by Mikki, saying "Babe, we need to go"
"Hmmm, go?" he asked looking up to her and saw Mikki nod her head. "To where?"
"Umm the hospital" she replied with a small laugh; and he looked to her his eyes widening, before standing and walking over to her.
"Are you having contractions?" he asked, placing a hand to her stomach and Mikki shook her head.
"No" she replied, with a small smile to him. "But considering my waters broke just a moment ago, I think it would be best if we were to head to the hospital"
"Right, yeah of course" said Sebastian, with a nod and quickly kissing Mikki. "Guess I should have waited to send that reply to Dyl?"
"Reply to what?" asked Mikki, looking to him; as Sebastian put his phone into his the pocket of his jeans that he'd changed into when gotten home from work.
"He asked if any baby yet" replied Sebastian, with a laugh and taking her hand; the two of them walking towards the front door of their house. "And I said nothing yet"
"Maybe that was a good omen" replied Mikki, with a laugh as she opened the front door and Sebastian grabbed the bag that she'd packed already to take with her to the hospital, and that they had left there for when time did come needed to be going.
"Yes" replied Sebastian, and went to walk out along with Mikki to one of their cars.
"Umm babe" said Mikki, with a laugh to him. "Keys, might help"
"Right, keys yeah" he replied with a laugh also and looking to her. "I know that" he continued as he stepped back into their house and got his keys from the table they had near the front door where they would keep them.
"And I'm meant to be the forgetful one" said Mikki, with a smile to him as he walked out again, this time with keys and also the bag in hand; closing the front door behind himself. "What's your excuse?"
"Nerves" replied Sebastian, with a smile to her as they walked over to his car; since that was the first one in the driveway. "Because this is really happening now"
"Is it, yes" said Mikki, with a nod, as she got into the front passenger seat and Sebastian put the bag for her to the back seat, before getting into the driver's seat and starting up the engine of the car.
"You okay?" he asked, as he backed out of the driveway; seeing Mikki take a deep breath as he turned the car to head towards the hospital.
"Hmm, fine" replied Mikki, with a nod. "Think it's a contraction, but not painful yet. So we got some time at least"
"I hope so" said Sebastian, with a small laugh as he headed in the direction of the hospital. "Don't really want to be stopping to deliver our little girl by the side of the road"
"No" replied Mikki, with a laugh also and shaking her head. "So hurry up and drive then"
"Yeah okay" said Sebastian, with a nod as he sped up a little bit whilst making sure to keep within that of the speed limit. "Let's go meet our little girl"; and the two of them headed towards Lexington Medical Center, so that could finally happen.
#HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF#
Upon arriving at the Lexington Medical Center, just after ten o'clock in the evening; and getting placed into a room and having the monitors attached to track the progression of the contractions; it had been that of four hours since they'd arrive there, with no sign of their little girl wanting to yet make her appearance, even though the contractions were getting stronger and more frequent as time progressed.
"I swear this bloody better happen soon" said Mikki, as she took an ice chip from the cup she had a hold of. "Or I swear to god, I will be telling them to induce me"
"It will happen, when our little girl wants it too" said Sebastian, moving from the seat he was sitting in near the bed to sit on the bed next to Mikki, placing one arm around her shoulder and the other to her stomach.
"Oh, right yeah sure" said Mikki, looking to him. "Easy for you to say" she continued with a small frown. "You're not the one in pain here"
"You know I would willingly let myself be, if that means you weren't" said Sebastian, placing a kiss to her lips as she still frowned.
"And you wouldn't like it, one bit" said Mikki, shaking her head and taking a deep breath as she felt another contraction come on.
"Okay, just breath it out" said Sebastian, as he also rubbed small circles to her stomach covered now by the hospital gown she had on; and Mikki glared at him.
"What do you think, I am doing here" she said, as Sebastian gave a small laugh and placed a kiss to her forehead, as the door of the room that they were in opened.
"How's it all going in here?" asked Doctor Shannon Bieste, who for the night at the hospital was the attending obstetrician that evening; and walked over to the machine tracking the contractions to see the time between them and also that of the length of them.
"Over it" replied Mikki, with a nod, as the contraction that she was having eased away; and Doctor Bieste looked to her with a smile.
"Well the good news is that, I can tell you we can probably start having you push soon" she said, as she took a glove from the box on the wall. "I just need to check if you're dilated enough to do this, first"
"Okay, yeah" replied Mikki, with a nod. "That would be good" she continued as Doctor Beiste moved to examine if Mikki was dilated enough to start pushing.
Grimacing slighty as she felt the obstetrician examine her below; she groaned as she felt yet another contraction starting up.
"Not going to tell you to breathe" said Sebastian, with a small laugh; and Mikki looked to him as she took deep breaths like she'd been taught in the birth classes that she'd attended.
"Mikayla" said Doctor Bieste; and she and Sebastian both looked to her. "Do you maybe want to try to start pushing on this contraction, you're fully dilated so I think we can get your little girl born here"
"I can try" said Mikki, with a nod; and started to push through that of the contraction, and screaming in the process of doing so.
"You're doing really, well" replied Doctor Beiste, and looking up to the monitor. "Just stop though for a moment, until you can push on another one okay"
"Yeah" said Mikki as she lay back on the pillow on the bed; and Doctor Bieste stood up going over to the wall and with her elbow pushed the button to let know that she would be needing some extra assistance in the room.
"You're doing really great" said Sebastian, placing a kiss to Mikki's lips as Doctor Beiste returned to where she'd been.
"Nothing is happening yet exactly" replied Mikki, looking to him with a small smile as she felt yet another contraction starting up.
"Okay push Mikayla" said Doctor Bieste. "But this time really hard okay, let's see if we can get your daughter to start crowning"
Screaming as she pushed through the contraction, and squeezing that of Sebastian's hand, and repeating over and over again, "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you"; Doctor Bieste gave a laugh as she looked up to Sebastian quickly.
"If I had a dollar for every time I have heard that screamed in a room here" she said, and Sebastian looked to her. "I'd be able to retire at a very early age"
"Yeah" replied Sebastian, with a small laugh also and placed a kiss to Mikki's forehead as she continued to push. "I know Mik doesn't mean it"
"She's starting to crown" said Doctor Bieste, looking to Mikki. "But just stop for another moment and wait for the next contraction"
"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a nod and then looked to Sebastian quickly, as the door opened and one of the midwifes walked into the room. "And you're wrong, I do hate you and we are never having sex again"
"Heard that one before" she said, with a laugh and looked to Mikki. "Hi sweetie, I'm Roz"
"Hi" said Mikki with a small smile to her as Roz went over to Doctor Beiste.
"How's it all going here?" she asked, and Doctor Bieste looked to her, with a nod. "All going okay, this little one is just starting to crown; so probably two more pushes and she will be out"
"Okay" replied Roz, and looked to the monitor and then to Mikki. "Think you can give us a really big one of this next one now"
"I think so, yeah" said Mikki, with a nod, and Roz looked to her with a smile.
"Okay, really big push sweetie" she said, and Mikki once again started pushing; not screaming as much as she tried to do her hardest to push on the contraction.
"Nearly there" said Doctor Bieste; and both Mikki and Sebastian looked to the doctor who was helping to birth their little girl. "Just relax for one second, and then this next contraction; I want you to push really hard"
"You got this" said Sebastian, placing a kiss to her forehead again as Mikki leaned back against the pillow on the bed, and she looked to him with a smile. "She's nearly here, for real"
"Yeah" replied Mikki with a small nod to him, as Roz placed her hand to Mikki's shoulder.
"One big push and you should have your little one" she said, with a smile, and Mikki once more started to push, screaming once more as she did; but then was stopped by the sounds of a baby's cry.
"Here she is" said Doctor Bieste, looking up to Mikki and Sebastian, with a smile; as Roz got the clip to place onto the umbilical cord.
"Did you want to cut it" said Roz, picking up the pair of scissors that were nearby and holding them out to Sebastian; and he stood up and looked to her with a nod and took them, cutting the cord; with Doctor Beiste then standing up and going over to Mikki with the little girl.
"She's beautiful" said Doctor Bieste, looking to her with a smile and placing the little baby to Mikki's chest. "And you did really well, too"
"Thanks" replied Mikki, with a smile to her as she rested her daughter against her; and Sebastian sat gently next to her again, them both looking to the little girl that was now theirs. "Hi, look at you, huh"
"She's perfect Mikki" said Sebastian, looking to her with a smile and placing a kiss to her cheek and taking that of their daughter's tiny hand very gently with one of his fingers. "And so tiny too"
"Hmm, she is" replied Mikki with a nod; as Doctor Bieste finished that of the after birth on Mikki. "And she really is here now"
"Uh huh" said Sebastian, with a nod. "Finally"
"I'll let you have a few minutes with her; and then I'll do all the checks on her and all that" said Roz, and Mikki looked to her with a nod.
"Okay thank you" said Mikki, with a smile to her, as Roz exited the room; and whilst Doctor Bieste finished up with the afterbirth on Mikki; she and Sebastian enjoyed the first few minutes of being parents, to the little girl that they had both wanted for so long.
#HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF##HCF#
With their little girl having been born in the early hours of the morning; and after the attending midwife had done all the necessary checks on her to make sure everything was okay; Mikki and Sebastian got to spend some more time with that of their daughter; and feeling around that of seven o'clock that sleep for both of them was something that they needed since they'd been awake since the previous day, and with the little girl asleep in a small hospital bassinet next to the bed; the two of them were curled up on the bed Mikki would be staying in whilst at the hospital, both asleep.
A few hours, passing by and having before they both did go to sleep; and Sebastian sending out a message to their parents, brothers and sisters, and the rest of their families; Jeremy along with Karen, and their two sons Nathan and Lucas made their way to the hospital and to the room number that Sebastian had also provided with them in the message, and getting the okay from the nurse on duty at the front counter of the maternity department; and with Karen who had hold of Lucas who was nine months old looked to hers and Jeremy's older son as the neared the door.
"Remember you got to be really quiet okay" she said, with a small smile to him. "You don't want to be scaring your little cousin"
"Promise" said Nathan, being at the age of four and able to understand what was happening.
"And not just because your cousin is asleep" said Jeremy, as he opened the door to the room, and looked over to the bed and saw that Mikki and Sebastian were curled up on it asleep. "But because your uncle and aunt are also sleeping as well"
"Well that's to be expected" replied Karen, with a quiet laugh and smile to her husband. "This little one" she said, looking into the bassinet near the bed. "Was born very early in the morning"
"Yeah" said Jeremy, with a nod as he picked up Nathan, so he was able to look at his little cousin; stepping closer to that of the cot. "And thankfully" he said, with a laugh. "It looks like she takes more after Mikki, than that of my ugly ass little brother"
"Jere" said Karen, looking to him and shaking her head. "That's a horrible thing to say"
"Why?" he asked, with a smile. "Bash said that both times, our boys were born; that it is a good thing that they don't look like me. So I'm just returning the compliment"
"Even though clearly Seb or Mikki can't hear you" said Karen, with a laugh. "Because they're both asleep"
"No, I heard it" said Sebastian, from over on the bed, and the two of them looked over to where Sebastian was with one arm still around Mikki, and the other rubbing his face. "Because you don't exactly talk quietly"
"Sorry" replied Karen, looking to her brother in law with a smile. "We honestly didn't mean to wake you up"
"It's fine" said Sebastian, gently moving the arm from Mikki as to not wake her from the sleep she was in. "It's not the best bed to be sleeping on together" he said as he stood and stretched out. "Kind reminds me of college, when we'd not fit on one of the dorm room beds together"
"Well they weren't exactly designed for two people now were they" said Jeremy, with a laugh as Sebastian walked to near them and over to the cot where his daughter was; and looked to his brother with a laugh also.
"Yeah I know" he replied, with a smile as he gently picked up the little girl from the bassinet. "I just liked being close to Mik, so we made do with the small beds that they had" he continued as the little girl opened her eyes and looked at him. "And it's weird now after all this time, being on one like that again"
"Imagine it would be" replied Karen, with a nod. "So this is her, huh?" she asked looking to the little girl Sebastian was now holding and he looked to her with a nod.
"Yeah, this is her" he replied, with a smile. "And she's just perfect" he said, looking to the little girl with a smile as well, and then to Jeremy. "And you're right, she does kind of look a little like Mikki; especially this gorgeous little nose" he said, with a small laugh, and touching his daughter to it.
"She really is perfect" said Jeremy, looking to the little girl; his new niece that his brother had a hold of. "And she does look a little like a Smythe, too"
"Yeah" replied Sebastian, with a laugh. "She does" he said with a nod and smile and looking to his daughter as well. "Did you want to have a hold of her?" he asked, looking to his older brother; and Jeremy nodded lowering Nathan to the floor, with Sebastian then passing the little girl over to him.
"Hi, look at you huh" said Jeremy, taking the little girl from his younger brother's arm. "Aren't you a gorgeous little girl"
"Not thinking you and Karen want another one there?" said Sebastian, with a laugh and looking to his brother; and saw Karen shaking her head.
"Yeah maybe" said Jeremy, with a smile to his brother and looked to Karen also with one. "But I think we give it a few more years, before we try for another"
"Yes definitely" said Karen, with a nod; as Nathan tugged on the fabric of Sebastian's jeans; and he looked down to him.
"What's up buddy?" asked Sebastian, kneeling down to that of his nephew's height.
"Can I have hold?" he asked, pointing up to where Jeremy was holding the little girl.
"Maybe a little later, yeah" replied Sebastian, standing up and picking the young boy up from the ground. "But for now, you can say hi to your little cousin, like this, 'kay"
Nathan looked to him with a nod and Sebastian, took the young boys hand, gently placing it to his daughter's face. "Can you say hi to her"
"Hi, I'm Nath" he said, looking at the little girl. "I'm four"
"Yeah" said Sebastian, looking to his nephew with a smile. "And it's going to be your job as she gets older to protect her too; kind of like a big brother"
"I can do that" said Nathan, looking to his uncle with a nod. "I big brother already"
"Yep" replied Sebastian, with a laugh; and looked to Jeremy. "You'd be a better one then your dad too, I bet"
"Hey, I'm an awesome big brother" he replied, with a laugh also. "And what are we meant to call this little girl of yours, as I am guessing it's not little girl"
"Maybe they haven't come up with a name yet, they are firmly liking" said Karen, and Jeremy looked over to his wife. "It took us awhile to settle on Nath's name, since you liked it at the time and I wasn't too sure of it"
"Yeah" replied Sebastian, looking to his sister in law with a nod. "Well this little one does have a name, and it's one Mik and I both like"
"Well, tell us" said Jeremy, with a laugh and Sebastian looked to his brother, with a laugh also.
"Amelia Charlotte" he said, with a smile. "So there are quite a few little nicknames there that we can call her"
"Definitely" replied Jeremy with a nod. "Amelia Charlotte Smythe, it's got a nice sound to it"
"It does" said Sebastian, with a nod also, as he heard Nathan who he still had hold of trying to sound out his cousins' name. "How about we try Millie" he said, looking to him. "I think that be easier"
"Millie" said Nathan, looking to his uncle with a nod and then to the little girl that Jeremy still had a hold of and said "Millie" once more, pointing to her.
"Yeah, that's it buddy" said Sebastian, with a smile to him. "It's your cousin, Millie"
"Right" said Jeremy, looking to his son also. "And how about we let your mom, have a hold of your little cousin now" he said, and looked to Sebastian. "That is if it's okay with the dad here", as Sebastian gave a laugh and nodded, putting Nathan down to the ground again and then taking Amelia from Jeremy, with Karen then passing Lucas over to Jeremy, before taking Amelia from that of Sebastian.
"She is really gorgeous Seb" said Karen, looking to the little girl she had now a hold of. "And it does make me kind of hope the next one, if Jere and I have another; that it will be a little girl too"
"And if not" said Jeremy, with a laugh; and Karen looked over to her husband. "We can always keep trying until we do get a girl"
"How many kids you want there, Jere?" asked Sebastian, with a laugh; as he went back over to the bed where Mikki was still sleeping soundly and gently sat to the edge of it; stifling a yawn.
"One more at least, that I do know" he replied as Karen looked to him with a small nod and smile; and as Sebastian, felt Mikki's arm wrap around his middle and he turned to look at her.
"Hey, you" he said, with a smile; as Mikki moved to sit up more in the bed, giving him a smile also.
"Hey" she replied, and then looked to Jeremy, Karen and two young boys. "I didn't know we had company" she said, looking to them and then to Sebastian. "You should have woken me"
"Pretty sure, you needed the rest" said Karen, looking to her with a smile and moved over to near her sister in law; passing that of Amelia over to her. "She's really gorgeous, Mik"
"She is" said Mikki, with a nod as she looked to the little girl in her arms. "It's surreal that she is now here" she said, looking to her sister in law with a smile. "You honestly begin to think that nine months will never be over towards the end"
"Yeah" replied Karen with a laugh. "So we might head off and let you two spend some more time together" she continued, looking to Mikki and Sebastian, and then quickly to Jeremy, who nodded. "Because I am sure you will have more visitors here soon, and it will get a little crowded in here then"
"Mom and Dad did say they would be here soon" said Sebastian, with a nod. "Not long after I sent them a message" he continued. "And they will probably come with Midge and Eric too"
"And Dyl and Bee probably not that far behind either" said Mikki with a laugh. "Or even Kitty and Artie, or Rod either"
"Only one who will take a little longer to get here" said Karen, with a smile to her sister in law. "Will be Marls, since she has to get a flight over"
"Right" said Jeremy, with a nod. "And let us know when she does plan to get here; and I'll go and get her from the airport for you"
"Thank you" said Mikki, with a smile to him; and talking with them for a little bit more before they left; Mikki and Sebastian then spent some more time with their little girl, before more people arrived to meet the new addition to the Smythe Kapowski family.
End Note: Starting 2018 on a positive note I feel, and it is my aim this year (even though I do vow this every year) to write some more; because it's something I truly enjoy and love doing. So hopefully with that frame of mind, I will be able to update stories weekly!
