I stared at him and watched his own baby blues widen. The only thing going through my mind was that we might have just had an earthquake and the hospitals are going to be packed. And well, that I'm not due for another four weeks.

"Don, the hospitals are going to be packed." I told him as he looked around for Mac.

"Just hold on." he told me. He grabbed some girls arm and pulled her to me. "She's in labor. Stay with her for like five minutes." he told her. She nodded and helped me sit down.

"I'm Ashley. Do you need anything right now?" she asked sweetly. I shook my head and looked around. "I can't believe this happened." she muttered, also looking around.

"Yeah, earthquake in New York. Thought that was just a movie." I laughed. She looked at me confused.

"This wasn't an earthquake." she told me. It was my turn to be confused.

"What was it?" I asked. She shook her head and looked down.

"There was an explosion in one of the tunnels. Somehow the sub system went down and two trains collided." she told me. I felt panic course through my veins.

"Your kidding right? Oh my god!" I winced as I felt my stomach tighten. I looked at her and frowned. "I'm not going to be able to have the baby there. All the hospitals are going to be crazy." I told her. She shook her head.

"No, it's ok. We'll get you taken care of." she promised. I nodded and looked for Don or Mac. I waited a few mor minutes and Don's figure weaved through the crowd.

"It wasn't an earthquake." he told me breathlessly.

"I know that now. Don I'm in labor what am I gonna do?" I asked worried.

"Take you to the hospital." he told me. I shook my head and winced as another contraction came over me.

"The hospital's are going to be busy. She's already having contractions. They won't be able to see in her time." Ashley told him. He sighed and stood up.

"Hold on." he said and ran off. I watched him leave and come back with Hawkes.

"How far apart are they, Sara?" he asked. I took a few breaths and looked at him.

"About 7 minutes." I breathed. He looked at Don and stood up.

"I know a delivery doctor. He works at a Women's Center. If we hurry we can get there in time." he told me. I nodded and let Ashley help me up.

"Okay, well let's go." I said. We made our way out with few interruptions. We took Don's squad car and he flipped on the lights. "You don't have to do that, ya know?" I told him. He looked in the rearview and stared at me.

"You're in labor in the back of our squad car. Yes, I do." he reminded me.

"I need to call everyone." I said to no one in particular. Hawkes looked back at me.

"We'll get every informed. You just sit back and try to relax." he told me. I nodded and leaned on Ashley's shoulder.

"You didn't have to come." I whispered to her. She smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Call this my good deed for the day." she laughed. I was quiet for the rest of the ride but right as we got there, I started to get irritable.

"Don, hurry." I whined. He sighed and pressed the gas.

"I'm trying babe. I'm trying. Is it this turn?" he asked Hawkes.

"Yes. I've already got a wheelchair out waiting." he said. Don turned and pulled into the parking lot of the center and stopped at the entrance. Ashley opened my door and helped me out. I turned to Don and stared at him.

"Hurry." I begged him. He nodded and drove off to park.

"How far are the contractions?" the nurse asked.

"About 3 minutes." I told her. She nodded and rolled me into the center.

"When was your due date?" she asked pushing me to the back. I looked back and saw Don running up with his call phone to his ear.

"I'm not due for another four weeks." I told her while looking at Don. He hung up and rubbed his face as we walked in the delivery room.

"I finally got a hold of Mac. The crash was horrible. They called in everyone to help." he told me. I stared at him and panicked.

"Don't tell me you have to leave. I can't do this by myself, Donnie. Please, don't go." I fumbled. He ran over and grabbed my hand.

"No, no, no. Calm down. I'm not leaving. Capt. gave me a pass. Stella and Danny are getting your mom. Mac said he couldn't get off. But he'd be here as soon as he can." he told me. I nodded and laid back onto the bed. The nurse hooked an IV up as the doctor walked in.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Richards. I'm glad Sheldon called me. It would be hectic trying to get you into a hospital on time." he told me. "Let me just take a look and see how much you're dilated." he said. He moved my feet into the stirrups and Don turned around. The nurse laughed.

"It's nothing you haven't seen, sir." she smiled. I bit my lip and waited for his response.

"I have seen it plenty of times, just not on her." he replied. The doctor and nurse looked up confused.

"He's my partner. My husband passed away when I was two months. He's been helping me." I cleared it up for them. They nodded.

"That's a good man then." the nurse smiled. Don held up his hand as a thanks.

"Looks like you're at 8cm." the doctor informed me putting my legs down. Don slowly turned around and looked over at me.

"What's that mean?" he asked.

"That means that I will hopefully be having this baby soon." I told him. He nodded and looked at the nurse.

"Will the baby be okay? She's not due for another month." he asked. She smiled.

"Everything seems okay. Some babies are born earlier or later. But by this time they are near full development. She will be a week premature but so far it looks good." she told him. He nodded and sat down.

"Are you hurting?" he asked after a few minutes. I lifted my arm up and smiled.

"Not really. I can still feel them but it's only slightly uncomfortable." I told him. He shook his head and looked at his phone.

"Stella and Danny were about 10 minuets away last time I talked to them but traffic is bad." he informed me.

"I hope they make it. Stella and mom were supposed to be in here when I have her. I don't wanna do it alone." I said softly. He grabbed my hand and rubbed the top of it.

"You won't have to do it alone. I'll make sure of it." he promised. I smiled and squeezed his hand. About 5 minutes later the nurse came back in to check me. Don turned away as she looked at me. She popped her head up and smiled.

"Let me get the doctor." she said and walked out the room. I looked over at Don and felt nervous for the first time. He looked just as nervous.

"Is it time?" he asked. I nodded slowly and bit my lip. "Quit. It's okay." he told me. I let my lip go and watched the doctor and two nurses walk in. I looked over at Don.

"They're not here." I whispered. He looked at his phone again and sighed.

"Who's going to be in here with you?" the doctor asked. I shook my head.

"They're not here yet. So I guess it's us." I told them sadly. They nodded and took the stirrups out.

"I'm staying." Don declared when the nurse pointed him to the door. I stared at him as the staff smiled.

"Don, you don't have to. I'll be fine." I told him. He shook his head and took his coat off.

"I promised you I wouldn't let you do it alone. I've never broke a promise to you." he said untying his tie.

"I'll forgive you." I laughed. He shook his head and looked at the doctor.

"I'm staying. Now what do I do?" he asked. I smiled and grabbed his hand.

"Just hold my hand." I whispered. He nodded and looked at the doctor.

"If you want to see the baby we'll have the sheet over her knees far enough that if you look a little you'll only see the baby and not her, well her stuff." he doctor smiled. Don nodded and looked down at me.

"You ready, Bear?" he asked. I nodded and lifted my feet in the straps. One nurse stood behind the doctor and the other went to my other side.

"Okay, so when you feel a contraction we need you to push hard for us. And we'll be counting back from ten slowly as you do. When we stop counting, stop pushing. Don, you got that?" he asked. Don nodded. The nurse looked over at the monitor and squeezed my hand.

"Alright, here's the first one. Now push, Sara." she coached. I sat up and pushed down as hard as I could. I felt Don rubbing my back as everyone counted from ten.

"5...4...3...2...1. Stop pushing." they said in unison. I dropped back onto the bed and breathed hard. The nurse wiped my head and I squeezed Don's hand.

"I can't." I whispered. He kissed my head and rubbed my hand.

"Yes, you can." he said.

"Another push, Sara." the doctor called. I sat back up and pushed.

"10...9...8...A little bit more...7...6...5...Almost there...4...3...One big push, Sara...2..." they were cut off but the sound of a baby crying. I dropped back on the bed and closed my eyes.

"Good job, Sara. She was ready." the doctor smiled. I looked down as the doctor passed the baby to the nurse and cut the cord. I looked up at Don.

"Go see her." I told him. He smiled and walked over to the nurse. The doctor finished with me and set my legs down. I watched as they cleaned her up and wrapped her in a blanket.

"You wanna see her now?" the nurse smiled. I nodded and sat up a little. I reached out and scooped her from the nurse. Don sat next to me and smiled.

"She looks exactly like you." he told me. I peeled the blanket from her neck and looked at her better. I laughed as I saw my green eyes and my light blonde hair on her head.

"She does. She even has my nose and lips." I smiled.

"You sure Jason had any part of this?" he joked. I laughed and shook my head.

"Doesn't look like it." I told him.

He moved on the bed next to me and wrapped an arm around me. We sat there and stared at the tiny baby girl in my arms. It was peaceful. New York was nearly crushed today but now it all seemed to fade as I looked at my baby. Her chest moving up ever so slightly and her eyes moving behind he closed lids, it was the best feeling. Her soft new born baby skin brushing my lips when I kiss her cheek. It was like nothing I had experienced before.

"Miss?" the nurse asked from the door. I looked up and smiled. "There are some people here to see you." she smiled and pushed the door open. I watched Stella, Danny, my mom and Hawkes walk in and smiled.

"Hey guys." I greeted. My mom covered her mouth and walked over to my other side with Stella. Danny and Hawkes stood next to Don.

"She's gorgeous." my mom gasped as I pulled the blanket down. Stells reached over and rubbed my head.

"I'm so sorry I missed it." she said sadly. Don perked up and smoothed out his shirt.

"Hey, I kept her company." he told her. Stella glared at him playfully.

"I meant the delivery." she said. I smiled and looked up at Don.

"He did." I said. They all looked at him with raised brows.

"You were in here with her?" my mom asked. He nodded his head and looked down at the baby.

"Yes, I was. But I kept my distance from the actual seeing the baby being born." he laughed. Danny patted him on the back..

"You got more guts than me, Flack. I would have fainted." he declared. I laughed. I looked around and frowned.

"Where'd Ashley go?" I asked. Right then the door swung open and I saw a bunch of flowers and balloons. The person carrying them peeked form behind and smiled.

"I'm here. I had to go get decorations though." Ashley smiled. I laughed and looked at the flowers.

"They are beautiful. Ashley I want to officially introduce you to everyone. This is Don, my mom, Stella, Danny and Hawkes. They are my family, friends and co-workers. Guys this is Ashley. Don grabbed her and made her stay with me." I laughed. They all said that hello's and turned their attention back to me.

"So give me that stats?" Stella asked. I looked at Don. He smiled and recanted the baby's stats.

"She was born at 2:12pm. She was 6 pounds 7 ounces and was 19 inches long. Pretty healthy for four weeks early." he told them.

"What are you naming her?" Ashley asked.

"Isabella Grace." I told her. She smiled and sat on the end of the bed.

"It fits her perfectly." she said. We all agreed and took turns holding her. All went smoothly until it was Danny's turn.

"I'm gonna drop her." he declared backing up from Hawkes and Isabella.

"No you won;t. Just take her. Hawkes will show you how." I told him. He sighed and held his arms out. Hawkes gently laid her in his arms. Danny moved her around a few times and smiled.

"It's not that bad." he told me. I smiled and watched him look down at her.

"You're the godfather." I told him. He snapped his head up and stared at me.

"What?" he asked. Everyone smiled and looked at me.

"I want you to be her godfather. I've wanted to ask you forever but I wanted to wait until she was here." I told him. He looked at me and smiled.

"I'd love to." he accepted. He handed the baby back to Hawkes and walked over to me. He leaned over and kissed my head. "Thank you, Sara." he whispered. I kissed his cheek and smiled.

"And Stella..." I smiled. She grinned from ear to ear and held her hands. "Would you like to be her godmother?" I asked slowly. She squealed and kissed my face.

"Oh yes! I'd love to." she smiled. We all laughed until Danny stopped us.

"Why did you pick me and not Flack or Mac?" he asked.

"Mac is her grandfather. Plain and simple." I told him.

"And Flack?" he asked again. I smiled at Don.

"He'll be more than a godfather." I told them.

"But less than a father." he finished.

We all sat there and chatted about the baby and the crash until it was nearly 10pm. Everyone had left except Don. He sat in the corner chair taking a power nap. I smiled and looked back down at Isabella. It was silent until a familiar voice broke through.

"I heard we've got another Sara on our hands." Mac said. I looked up and smiled. He had a single pink rose in hand.

"Yeah we do." I said softly. He walked over and set the rose beside me. He held his hands out and I handed him the baby.

"She's beautiful, Sara." he whispered. I smiled and wiped my tears away.

"Thank you." I whispered back. He smiled at me and nodded at me.

"No, thank you for bringing her here." he told me.

He sat next to me and we watched her sleep. She was beautiful. She was mine. And she had made me and everyone else so much closer. She finally gave us the bond that made us family. She connected us. Like we have all been connected.

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heartEverything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
