Vicki told Coreen to tell Gwen what was going on after she called Henry. Vicki was sitting on the couch, clutching her stomach in pain.

Gwen came rushing in to check on her. Vicki could hear Coreen on the phone.

"Me?" She squealed in a high-pitched voice.."You want ME to meet you there..drive her to you? Are you sure..."

"Yes I can handle it..jeez Henry! See you there!" and with that, she slammed her phone shut. Coreen marched over to Vicki.

"Henry wants me to meet him at the hospital, he says it would be faster." Coreen announced. Gwen looked up at her daughter who was looking rather frazzled.

"Honey, if you want me to take her, I can but you'll need to stay here with the twins." Gwen offered.

"NO!" Coreen stomped her foot, saying it through gritted teeth.

"I am perfectly capable of handling things..okay?" Gwen pursed her lips and reprimanded Coreen.

"Sweetie," she said calmly, "You need to be calm for Vicki, okay? I know you are capable, I just thought that.."

"You just thought I'm weak. Well, I'm not, come on Vicki." Coreen helped Vicki up off of the couch. She was in between contractions, for now, but they were coming rather fast. Faster than the twins. She didn't remember them hurting this bad either.

She had been having small braxton-hicks all day, she thought nothing of it.

"Coreen, you better drive like a bat out of hell..I don't think I'm gonna make it.." Vicki looked at Coreen with complete sincerity.

Coreen told her,"Then you better keep those legs together til we get there." and off they went, Coreen dragging a waddling Vicki out of the door. Gwen found the two of them comical, but was worried about Coreen's state of mind as well.

Coreen did drive like a bat out of hell. When Vicki screamed at one point, it made Coreen scream, it had scared her.

"Vicki, don't scream, just...I don't know..breathe or something." Coreen was trying to be helpful but it wasn't working.

Vicki shot her a look that told her where to go. Henry called several times to see why it was taking so long, or so he thought. When they pulled into the emergency room, Henry was there as were the staff. Henry helped Vicki out of the car.

"Henry," Vicki was struggling to talk, "I'm not gonna make it, I'm telling you, she's right.." she doubled over and yelled. Henry scooped her up, having her into the hospital in no time. They barely got her into a room, undressed and she was ready to push. Coreen called her mother for them, then called Mike and Kate to let them know. Coreen waited out in the hall for Henry to come and let her know something.

Henry came bursting through the door not twenty minutes after they arrived.

"She had her already?" Coreen said, stunned.

"Yes, she apparently had been having contractions all day, not badly I guess but the doctor said she went quick" Henry was gushing.

"It wasn't because I was.." Coreen felt guilty, the baby was four weeks early, although that was normal for them she still worried.

"No Coreen, she's fine, London's fine, come on.She wants to see you." Henry held out his hand for her to take. By the time they got back in the room, London Elizabeth Fitzroy was cleaned up and in her mother's arms. Henry stopped dead in his tracks when he saw her.

"You're breastfeeding?" Henry asked his already wet eyes welling again. Coreen was surprised too.

"Yeah, well, I figured if my mom could do it, I should give it a try huh? Besides, people change.." She looked at Coreen when she said it. Vicki looked tired, her hair was wet from sweating but she was still a beautiful mother. London had lots more hair than the twins and she looked huge compared to them, even being early. Her blonde hair was straight though, no curls. Her eyelashes were long and thick, her eyes closed in contentment while she fed from her mother's breast, her hand resting there too. Vicki wiped a small tear from her eye, Henry came over sat on the bed and kisse her. Coreen was overwhelmed with the tenderness of the moment.

"She's beautiful," Coreen said quietly.

"She looks just like Henry's mother.." Vicki said softly, brushing her hair with her hand. She did look like Elizabeth, her eyes, nose and mouth but she had the little cleft in her chin, just like the rest of the family.

"Vicki, how much did she weigh?" Coreen was still surprised at how big she looked.

"Eight pounds, eleven ounces..and I felt every last ounce." she sighed out. Henry smiled again.

"Wow! And she was early.." Coreen trailed off.

"Yes, had she been on time..ten, maybe eleven pounds.." the doctor spoke up. She had been writing down information in Vicki's chart and came over to the bed.

"Great job, mom." Dr. Morton said to Vicki.

"Thanks" Henry said, they both looked at him.

"What? I did help you know.." he said teasing both women. The doctor shook her head and left. Coreen came around to Vicki and gave her a hug.

"Congratulations. Now, I hate to run but.." Coreen started..

"Yes, you need to go. And remember what I said," Vicki told her again. Coreen nodded.

She didn't know why that pertained to her, but she would soon find out..
