Nick was anxious, he couldn't wait for Julia to come. Nobody, but Sonny knew the name of their daughter. Nick had slipped it to him when they were finishing the nursery. He practically begged Sonny to not tell the squad or Amanda. Sonny agreed if Nick were to buy lunch for the whole week when he came back.

Until the baby would come Zara was at her Grandma's house as it could get ugly. Zara was disappointed she wasn't gonna be there when the baby was gonna come. She couldn't wait to become a big sister. Since Zara was on summer vacation when Amanda hit 8 months she was staying with them. Every day she'd ask Amanda if the baby would come and Amanda would simply tell her soon.

It was July and they were in the middle of a humid week. She would never forget that week or day. Amanda wasn't ready for Julia and Nick was no where to be found. Amanda couldn't sleep because it was hot and sticky. She called Sonny because he was Nick's partner.

When he heard Amanda screaming and swearing on the phone he took that as his cue to leave. He reached Nick's place in 10 minutes. Sonny had to pick at the lock because from where he heard the screams Amanda was no where near the door. He got the door opened in 2 minutes.

"Amanda!" Sonny yelled.

"In…here! …Where's…Nick?" Amanda asked who was in pain.

Should he tell her Nick went to chase a lead in the Bronx? He should, Amanda could be giving birth.

"Amanda, he's in the Bronx chasing a lead. I'll call him." Said Sonny.

"I tried, he's not answering." Amanda said before screaming in pain again.

Sonny walked towards the kitchen to call Nick. There was no way in hell was he gonna help Amanda give birth let alone be in the room. He dialed Nick's phone and it rung twice before he answered.

"What?" Nick asked sounding pissed.

"If you don't show up your girlfriend will have your child without you in YOUR house, but if your annoyed don't bother." Sonny retorted back.

"Are you serious? Shit! Alright, ask her how long the contractions are and could she make it to the hospital." Nick said rather quickly.

Sonny walked towards Amanda and asked her how far and could she make it. The second answer would scare Nick shitless. He went back towards the phone.

"Nick, they are 5 minutes apart and Amanda said there's no way in hell she'll make it." Said Sonny.

He heard Nick swear multiple times on the phone. Then he heard Olivia say something. Nick said he should be there soon and to stay with her. Sonny walked back towards Amanda.

"Hey, you want anything?" Asked Sonny.

Amanda simply shook her head. She wasn't gonna ask Sonny to look down there for her. She was gonna wait for Nick. Actually she could use some ice, crushed ice.

"Sonny?" Asked Amanda.

"Yeah." Sonny replied.

"Could you get me some ice and make it crushed." Said Amanda.

"Yeah, that's it?" Asked Sonny.

Amanda nodded. He went to kitchen to crush ice. Why does she want crushed ice at of all things? She definitely was eating strange things since she became pregnant. Like pickles dipped in peanut butter. Focus Sonny! He heard her scream again. This was 4 minutes from the last. They were getting shorter.

Sonny finally managed to crush a bowel full of crushed ice. He also had a cup. He made a bowel because he wasn't gonna leave her alone again.

Amanda saw Sonny come with a big bowel of ice. She was to glad to give a damn about the size, she just wanted ice to chew and give birth. God was this painful. Never again will Nick ever have fun without any sort of protection. When Nick gets here she definitely was gonna hurt him.

They both heard the door unlock and footsteps coming their way. Sonny pulled his gun quietly and swiftly. He was in the hallway when he muttered a couple of swears and then told Zara to come telling her grandma that he worked with Nick. Zara's grandma left saying something about an emergency.

Sonny told Zara she had to go into her room as Amanda wasn't feeling herself and even if she heard screaming she had to stay put. Zara nodded remembering what her dad had told her. She ran upstairs and went into her room. He walked back into Nick and Amanda's bedroom.

"Who was it? I heard you swearing." Asked Amanda.

"Zara, her grandma dropped her off saying she had some emergency." Sonny said.

"Shit. Call Nick and tell him if he's not here in 10 minutes I'll have locked out the house." Amanda said through gritted teeth.

He nodded, walked out into the hallway and called Nick.

"I'm almost there quit calling Carisi." Nick sounded annoyed.

"Well, Amanda said if you're not here in 10 minutes you're being locked out the house and Zara's here as well." Sonny said quickly.

"Is she serious and my mother dropped Zara off? Did she say why?" Asked Nick.

"She it was an emergency and left saying something in Spanish." Sonny said.

Nick groaned. How could he forget! She was getting ready to leave for Florida. He was in a sticky situation.

"Open the door I'm outside." Nick said.

Sonny went to the door and opened it. He told Sonny to stay and keep Zara company and bring food. He didn't want Zara to see Amanda the way she was. He walked into the bedroom towards Amanda.

"Hey, how you feeling?" Asked Nick.

"I feel like I'm gonna kill you after I give birth." Amanda said through gritted teeth.

"Amanda, I'm asking a serious question. No games." Nick said.

"Pain, I just want her out of me. These ice chips Carisi made me are make me feel a little better when I eat some. My water broke 4 hours ago, but since you left this morning I've been in pain." Said Amanda

"Your telling me you decided to call Carisi when your water broke?! Amanda you should have told me you were pain when I called earlier." Nick said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want it to be another false alarm so I didn't bother telling you." Amanda said before chewing on some ice.

"Let me call Melinda and ask her for a little help. I don't know if your ready or not." Nick said.

Amanda nodded as he was walking out. He dialed Melinda's number.

"Amaro, you better have a good reason to call." Melinda said.

"I need your help. Amanda is in labor, but I don't know if she's ready." Nick said.

"Ok, you need to check to see if the head is crowing she's ready. When it's her next contraction she will need to push. I gotta go call if anything goes wrong." Melinda said before hanging up.

Nick sighed. Was really gonna deliver a baby? He need to get materials first with Sonny's help. He got a couple of towels, a pair of scissors, gloves and napkins. He dropped the stuff in their room and ran to Zara's room grabbing Carisi and telling Zara to stay put until one of them got her. He explained to Carisi how it was gonna work.

They went into the room, Carisi went towards Amanda to help her sit up while Nick put the gloves on and checked. He was muttering swears left and right. He looked up at Amanda, it was now or never.

"You ready babe?" Asked Nick

Amanda nodded squeezing Carisi's hand lightly then tight. She was gonna do it here with Carisi watching. She was glad it was him at the moment. She found a new respect for him, but now wasn't the time to worry about him.

Zara heard screaming and was scared. What are they doing to Amanda? If that what having a baby did she didn't want any. Then the screaming stopped. She heard crying, then someone running upstairs. Sonny came into her room and asked her if she wanted to see her new baby sister.

Zara practically ran down the stairs, but waited for Sonny to give her permission to enter her dad's room. He nodded and she entered. Her dad was sitting next to Amanda who was on the bed. What was it about a baby that them happy? She walked towards her dad and she when was next to him he put her on his lap to get a better view.

"What's the baby's name?" Asked Zara.

"Julia June Amaro." Amanda said.

"Can I hold her?" Asked Zara.

"No, ella es demasiado pequeña para que usted mantenga princesa." Nick replied.

"Eso no es justo , sólo quiero abrazarla." Zara said back.

"Zara, it doesn't matter. Ask Sonny to go play with you while I help Amanda with something." Nick said.

Sonny took Zara and brought her to the living room. He understand parts of what they both said. Sonny was the youngest out of his siblings so he didn't know how she felt. He went to the kitchen got the tub of ice cream with two spoons and ate some with her.

"I called Melinda, she said when she stops by later she'll bring some papers for us to sign." Nick told Amanda.

She nodded. Amanda was in awe of their little girl. She was perfect, had her eyes and brown hair like Nick. She was small and smelled so nice. She was glad Nick had washed her off and put her in some clothes.

Julia was a miniature version of her and Nick. She couldn't believe it, her and Nick were parents. Were they ready to handle child? To hard to believe in such a thing.

TBC…


A/N: This to me is probably the longest I ever wrote. I changed my mind about making them 2 chapters when I could have made it 1 huge chapter which I have done. The birth part to me seems cheesy idk I tried. I'm almost done writing this whole story all together and I'm proud. I might do another story from when they're older by like a couple of years. Sonny helping out Amanda was really nice and how she changes her view on him was ok. Anyway I shall stop writing. Till next time! Review.
