Here we are at chapter 8. Just so you know I will update both this story and To Be a Doyle on Saturday as apposed to updating To Be A Doyle on Sunday because I will be gone at my grand parents for 10 days from Monday until like Wednesday. Its the land of no Wi-fi, or well what Wi-fi they have is so slow its pretty much useless to use...
Eight
When they arrived at St. Mary's Derek and Rossi went up to where Emily was and the team and John took the kids to get something to eat. Derek was shaking as they neared the room where Emily was. Inside he could hear a voice speaking softly. It wasn't Emily's so he could only assume it was Matthew.
"Emily?" Derek asked as he entered. She smiled at him.
"Derek!" Emily smiled, she was wearing a hospital gown and her dark hair was tied in a loose ponytail. The gown really brought out just how pregnant she was. He bent down to hug her.
"Hey, how are you?" He asked urgently.
"I've been better." She grimaced a bit. "The contractions are coming more often and they've gotten worse."
"Has your water broken yet?" He asked.
"No, not yet but it will..." She whimpered. "Derek, this is Matthew, Matthew this is my husband Derek Morgan.
Derek turned to the man, his hair and eyes were dark but he came off as a nice person. He held out it his hand. "Its nice to meet you, you've taken good care of Emily these past few years."
"Thanks this last 36 hours you haven't done such a bad job your self." Derek chuckled.
"The fact that we're you're saying while- Emily!" Matthew yelped. Derek turned and saw that the entire lower portion of the bed was soaking wet.
"What just happened?!" Derek asked.
"Calm down its not urine," Matthew said. "Her water broke."
"Her what broke?!" He said suddenly panicking.
"Her water broke, that means –"
"Derek Morgan I am having this baby right now!" Emily yelled from the bed. "Call the damn nurse!"
"Okay!" Matthew yelped and pressed the call button.
Derek could feel the panic rising in his chest, he had no idea how to deal with this. For the first time he was entirely helpless as Emily lay on the bed half crying as various doctor's and nurses started hooking monitors to her and lifting her legs up on to braces. Matthew motioned for Derek to follow him out of the room.
"You need to calm down." Matthew said.
"How can I calm down my wife is having a baby!" Derek exclaimed. "I need to get back in there!"
"I know you do but unless you want to see them sticking a measuring tool up her vagina." Matthew said. The look on his face made Derek believe he was dead serious.
"Why are they doing that?" He asked.
"Because they have to see how far she's dialated, its probably going to be few hours until the baby is born so just calm down and go get a hot tea or something." Matthew explained.
Derek rolled his eyes and went back into the room. Emily was lying on the bed with an IV in her arm, she looked very uncomfortable. "Hey Emi."
"Hi." She whispered.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm supposed to walk around to help move things along. Where's my baby?" She asked.
"Lizi and Declan are with the team and John, I can bring them up." He offered.
"Please." She nodded.
John didn't really know what to do. He was at a hospital in Italy, with two kids, and four people he didn't know. All because of Matthew Beton, why did all problems seem to start with Matthew Benton? Declan was sitting next to him picking at some jello from the caffiteria. John sighed, he'd better ask what was wrong.
"Hey kid, are you okay?" John asked. The boy looked up at him, his blue eyes sad.
"I want to see Emily." Declan frowned.
"I know you do, I'd like to see her too." John said. "We'll see her as soon as the doctors figure out whats going on."
The was a long silence then Declan said "I'm not stupid. I know how babies are made, I know how they're born."
John was stunned into silence but he could hear Rossi chuckle softly. "Oh kid if your mother – oh never mind."
He saw Derek come into the cafetteria and pick up Lizi who'd toddled over to him on her tiny legs.
"How is she?" John asked.
"She's um, well I'd say she's fine but she is probably going to kill me." Derek said.
"Careful, if you're not you'll wake up with a gun to your crotch." John muttered.
"I'll wake up with a gun to my crotch? Can I ask how you know this?" Derek raised his eyebrows.
"You can, but because I don't want to get punched again I'm not going to answer." John said.
"Okay, well come on, the kids need to see Emily and Matthew wants to see you, I get the feeling you'll be lectured." Derek said.
"Nah, probably not, Matthew always sounds like that." He shrugged and followed him up to where Emily was.
When they got there the nurse was changing the bedding and Derek set Lizi on the ground and she toddled over to Emily. Matthew was sitting next to Emily and when he saw John his body tensed, like he was getting ready to punch something. John had a feeling he was that something.
"Stop it you two." Emily muttered. "Matthew I know that look and Johnny cut him some slack."
"But he –" Mattew started.
"I don't care, you're both adult men, you can handle without getting physical." Emily said. "Hi baby!" She reached down for her daughter but stopped and appeared to be in a great amount of pain.
"Are you okay?" Declan asked.
"Fine sweetheart. Hey how about Johnny takes you and Lizi to get some more Jello." Emily muttered looking at John her eyes clearly saying 'if you don't do this I'll kill you.'
"Yeah sure, come on kids." John said, Declan glared at him and picked up his sister and walked out of the room. "Bye Em, good luck."
"Thanks, you try shoving a baby out of your –" John cut her off by closing the door.
