Chapter 4!

Nikki's POV

It had been almost a week since I told Seth we were having a baby and since I am 39 weeks, I go to the doctors every week now. Since Seth is on the road he can't go with me to the appointments but since Bryan is out on injury he has been driving me since I don't feel comfortable to drive right now incase my water breaks while I'm driving. ( www. polyvore cgi/ set? id= 149817502) I'm waiting right now on my front porch for him and I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable since I went to sleep last night. I woke up at around 2 feeling crampy but the doctor had told me about practice contractions so that's what I thought they were, so I ignored them but they seem to be getting worse, so I'll ask the doctor when I go in. Bryan pulls up just as I stand up and I get into the car and we head off.

"So how are you feeling today?" Bryan asked, as we head to the doctors.

"I'm okay, really crampy but I think they are those practice contractions I was telling Brie about." He nods, recalling that conversation. "I'll ask them anyway because they seem to be getting worse."

"Are you sure it's the practice contractions?" He asks, sounding concerned.

"I hope so...Seth and Brie can't make it here in time if it's time." I just hope it's not contractions, this can't happen without my boyfriend and sister here.

When we get to the doctors, they allow Bryan to come back with me so he can see the baby. They know he's the brother in law since he's come with me and Brie to an appointment before I told Seth. They do an ultrasound and tell me that the baby is dropping so I'm meeting with my doctor that will be delivering my baby. "Hello Nicole, Hello Bryan." He greets us, shaking our hands. "How are you feeling Nicole? It's almost time." He smiles.

"I know, I'm getting excited. I've been feeling a bit crampy since late last night, but I thought it was just the practice contractions, but they seem to be getting worse."

"Okay," He puts some gloves on "What time did these contractions start?"

"About 2:30am."

"Okay, Bryan I'm going to have you step out so I can check Nicole." Bryan nods and walks out into the hallway. The doctor checks me and raises his eyebrows. He removes his gloves and allows Bryan back in the room. "Okay so you are dilated about 4 centimeters." I turn to Bryan shocked and he gives me the same expression. "We are going to have you head to the hospital and get you ready to have a baby, alright?" He walks to one of his nurses and tells her to have the hospital get a room ready. Oh shit, this is going to happen without Brie and Seth.

"Bryan what are we going to do? I don't have my hospital bag and Brie and Seth aren't here!" I start to panic.

"Okay don't panic, it's not good for Hailey. We are going to grab your bag and we will get to the hospital and I will call Seth and Brie." I breath and the doctor tells us our directions and we head off.

We arrived at the hospital and as the nurses are hooking me up to machines, Bryan sneaks off to call Brie and Seth.

Brie's POV

I was sitting in catering with Nattie and the guys of the Shield. Since Seth had found out about Nikki and had gotten with her, we had become friends and frequently hung out backstage with everyone. I was arguing with Dean because he kept trying to steal strawberries off my plate when my phone rang. I saw it was Bryan and answered it. "Hey Bryan, how did the appointment go?"

"Babe we have a problem." Bryan sounded panicked so I told Dean to stop for a minute "What happened Bryan? Is Nikki okay?" That caught Seth's attention, he looked at me concerned.

"If you consider the fact she's in the hospital right now okay." He tells me.

"What do you mean she's in the hospital?" I yell. Seth's eyes look like they are going to fall out of his head.

"She's in labor Brieanna, they are about to try and break her water but she is already half way through delivery, she's 4 centimeters dilated."

"We are catching a flight now, we will be there when we can. Don't leave her Bryan, stay in that room!" I hung up and looked at Seth, I didn't even have to say the words.

"She's in labor isn't she?" He asks, and as soon as I nod my head Roman and Dean are pushing him out of his chair.

"You guys get out of here. We will go to Hunter and Stephanie and explain! Go!" We are out the door as soon as we could be and at the airport.

Nikki's POV

Once the nurses finish hooking me up and breaking my water, Bryan walks back in. "Hey did you get hold of them?"

"Yeah Brie was already with the guys, I could hear them in the background so I told her and they are on their way to the airport as we speak."

I feel the tears building in my eyes fearing they wouldn't make it for the birth. I'm already halfway there and they are 4 hours away. At least someone is here with me. "Can you go call mom for me?" He nods and I walks out of the room. I grab my phone and see a text from Seth and Roman.

"Hey we just got to the airport and we are about to board the last flight to San Diego. Try and keep Hailey in until we get there, please. I would never forgive myself for missing this."

I felt horrible reading that, so I texted him back.

"I will do my best but it's already halfway done without me even realizing. If you don't make it, don't feel guilty. We will love you either way. You are still the best boyfriend and daddy around."

I hope that helps calm him down, but I know he won't let it go if he misses it. Then I open the message from Roman, Seth must have told them.

Hey Coco, Dean and I are thinking of you! Good luck and we can't wait to meet our beautiful niece. We are catching a flight out after Smackdown and we should be there tomorrow morning. Hunter already approved. See you and Hailey tomorrow."

I smile and text him back.

Thank you guys! She'll be so happy to meet her uncle's. See you tomorrow."

Bryan walks back in and then it's just about waiting now.

It's been about 2 and a half hours since Bryan and I arrived at the hospital and things are moving fast. I'm 7 centimeters now and I am definitely feeling the pain now. Bryan's doing all he can by being supportive but there is only so much he can do. He's been keeping everyone updated, my mom is on her way from Phoenix and should be here later tonight so I will see her probably tomorrow, and keeping Brie and Seth updated.

Another hour passes and I am nearing 9 centimeters. I am getting so scared Brie and Seth won't make it that I start to cry. "Aw Nik, what's the matter?"

"I'm just in so much pain and I am so scared they won't make it in time Bry, I can't do this without Seth here."

"Good thing you don't have too." I hear from the doorway and there is Seth smiling. "I didn't miss it, good." He shakes Bryan's hand "Thank you man, so much."

"No problem, Brie in the waiting room?" Seth nods "Alright I'll go to her, I'll see you soon Nicole."

I nod at him as another contraction starts, "Alright where are we at?" Says the doctor that's taking care of me. He checks me and says we are just about ready to start pushing. "Looks like you made it just in time daddy." Seth grins and kisses Nikki on her forehead and on the lips.

A half hour later, Hailey Rose Lopez was brought into the world. Seth and Nikki cried as soon as they saw her. "She's beautiful Seth."

"Just like her mother." Seth said, kissing Nikki then Hailey's head. "I love you baby girl."

They spent about 20 minutes with Hailey before Nikki told him to go get Brie and Bryan. He kissed Hailey one last time before leaving the room. He walked to the waiting room and as soon as Brie and Bryan saw him they stood up. He smiled "Hailey Rose Lopez, born on November 15, 2014 at 3:12pm weighing 6lbs, 4 ounces and 21 inches long." Brie squealed and jumped into Seth's arms, giving him a huge hug. Bryan and him hugged and Seth led them to the room where Nikki and Hailey were in. As soon as Brie saw Nicole she started to cry.

After Bryan dragged Brie home so they could be there when her mom arrived and since visiting hours were almost over. It was almost 8 and Nikki and Seth just wanted time with their baby. It had been a crazy day but all worth it because now she was here. Hailey was here.

It was around 12:30 when Seth woke up and hear Hailey start to stir in her basinet thing from the hospital. He quickly got up and picked her up so she wouldn't wake Nikki, he knew she deserved some sleep. He gave her a bottle and quickly changed her before swaddling her back up and walking around the room with her. He stood in front of the window looking down at her. "Hi baby, it's your daddy. I'm so happy you're finally here. I love you and you're mommy so much." I laid her back down once I was sure she was sleeping again and tried to get some more sleep since we will have more company tomorrow.

I woke up again at 3 to Nikki trying to change Hailey, but since she had just given birth she was in a lot of pain and couldn't bend over far. "Here babe, let me do it. Lay down it's okay I got her. Does she need a bottle?" I ask Nikki, putting Hailey's diaper on.

Nikki shook her head, "No I fed her already, I just can't change her. It's hard to bend."

"I know baby, don't worry." We put Hailey back to sleep then I kissed Nikki and we both went back to sleep.

I was around 11:30am the next morning and I was giving Hailey a bottle while Nikki attempted to eat her lunch, but I don't blame her, hospital food is disgusting. I laughed at her as she spit some of the sandwich out into a napkin and drank some of her water as there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Nikki said, the door opened and Brie, Bryan and their mother, Kate, walked in. Tears welled up in her eyes as soon as she saw Hailey.

"Oh my goodness it's my granddaughter." I stood up and handed Hailey to her.

"She just ate and burped, but I'll wear this just in case." I gave her a burp rag and put it on her shoulder. Soon Kate handed Hailey to Brie and Bryan both got to hold her. I smile as she was passed around and brought back to Nikki.

"I know hospital food is gross so we brought real food." I looked and saw Dean and Roman walk in with McDonalds bags. I laugh and stand to take the bags and hug them both.

"You call that real food?" Nikki laughed and they went and hugged her too and admired Hailey.

"She's beautiful man, you mind?" Roman asked Nikki, holding his hands out.

"Absolutely." Nikki handed her to Roman, and Roman smiled down at her.

"She is a beauty." Dean says, staring at her also.

"You can hold her Dean." Nikki tells him as she opens her burger.

"No I don't want to break her." Everyone laughs.

"You won't break her Dean. I promise, take her and sit down if you want." Brie tells her, giving him her seat. Since he had never held a baby before, he sat down and allowed Roman to set Hailey in his arms. Hailey stirs a bit before relaxing again and falling back asleep. "See, she likes you."

Everyone stayed and hung out until visiting hours had finished. Everyone had left and said they would see us when we came home tomorrow since they were releasing us then. We relaxed for the rest of the night and just enjoyed being parents and being a family.
