Finn was fast asleep, dreaming the best dream on Christmas night ever. It was he and everyone celebrating back home in Disney. It was perfect.
Suddenly, his dream was interrupted by someone screaming in pain.
Finn woke up with a start. He turned. It was Amanda.
"Amanda!?" Finn said frantically.
Amanda was screaming and groaning in pain. She clutched her stomach in pain.
"Mandy what's wrong!?" Finn cried out.
Amanda stared at Finn and gripped his shoulder, squeezing the life out of it.
"The-the baby!" Amanda panted. "It's…It's…it's coming!"
Finn's eyes went wide. They looked like they were going to pop right out.
His baby was ready to be born, and they were nowhere near a hospital. They had no baby delivering equipment. He didn't know what to do, and the more he panicked, the louder Amanda screamed and the harder his heart beat against his chest.
"Amanda," Finn said as calmly as he could. "A-a-a-are you sure?"
Amanda looked up at him with fire in her eyes that he only saw when she was seriously pissed off.
"Do you think I am fucking making this up!?" she yelled.
"No! No! Of course not!" he yelled.
There was no doubt about it. Amanda was defiantly going into labor, on Christmas. His baby was going to be born on Christmas.
The door burst open, startling Finn and Amanda.
They turned and saw everyone standing in the doorway.
"What's wrong!?" Jess cried. "I heard Amanda screaming."
"Jess…" Amanda said weakly.
"Oh dear lord," Charlene said. "Are you having the baby now?"
Amanda nodded weakly.
"OH MY GOD!" Maybeck cried. "What are we going to do!?"
"We need a doctor!" Jess cried. "Shit! We need a whole goddamn hospital!"
Maybeck, Charlene, and Jess were freaking out, which made Finn now freak out again as well. The more they screamed, the more pain Amanda felt in her stomach.
"QUIET!" Philby yelled at the top of his lungs.
Everyone settled down.
"Panicking and screaming is not going to help!" he yelled.
"But what are we going to do?" asked Maybeck. "We need a hospital!"
"Out of question!" Willa snapped.
"But we can't let the baby or Amanda die!" yelled Charlene.
"I have no intention of letting either one die!" Philby stated.
"Me neither!" Willa said.
"So what are we going to do?" asked Finn timidly.
Philby and Willa looked at each other and sighed.
"We have to deliver it ourselves," said Philby.
Everyone's eyes went wide.
"Do you even know anything about childbirth?" asked Jess.
"Of course we do!" said Willa. "We studied it!"
"Okay then!" Finn said. "What do we need to do?"
"First, I need Amanda moved into the living room," Philby said. "Put the futon back on the couch and lay blanket on the ground out for her. Also give her pillows for head support."
Everyone nodded. Maybeck, Jess, and Charlene put the futon back while Finn carefully picked up Amanda.
"Finn…" Amanda groaned.
"It's okay!" Finn said. "It's okay! Just breath!"
"I don't want our baby to die," Amanda groaned.
"It won't," Finn said. "I won't let it, and neither will Philby or Willa."
Jess laid out a blanket for Amanda in front of the fire. She piled up a bunch of pillows as well for her sister in labor.
"I'm about to be an aunt!" she exclaimed timidly in her mind.
Finn laid Amanda down flat on her back on the blanket. She groaned in pain again as she gripped her stomach.
Philby and Willa came in and kneeled down over Amanda.
"What now?" asked Finn.
Philby turned towards everyone.
"I need a big bowl of hot water," said Philby. "Someone go get some snow and boil it over the fire!"
"I'm on it!" Maybeck said. He grabbed a big enough for the baby to be washed off in and ran outside.
"We also need a bunch of towels and blankets," said Willa.
"I'll get them," said Finn. He started to stand up.
"NO!" Amanda yelled pulling him back down.
"What?" asked Finn.
"Don't leave me," said Amanda panting. "Stay right here!"
Finn looked at Amanda. He couldn't refuse her pleads. Not when she was about to have her baby.
He nodded and sat back down.
"It's okay Finn," said Jess. "You stay with your girlfriend, aka my sister. I'll get the towels and blankets."
She dashed off into the bathroom and attic.
"Charlene!" Philby said. "I need a pair of scissors. For cutting the umbilical cord. And there should be a pair of rubber gloves in my first aid kit that I need.
Charlene nodded. She got what they need just as Maybeck and Jess returned.
Maybeck boiled the snow until it was warm and melted. Jess placed the towels beside Amanda.
"Thank you everyone," Philby said.
Everyone nodded.
Finn smiled. Everyone was such a big help.
Amanda's screaming interrupted Finn's happy thoughts.
"Finn!" Amanda cried out. "I'm scared. Can I hold your hand?"
Finn stared at Philby.
"Is it okay to hold her hand?" Finn asked.
"Yes of course," Philby said with a smile. "Please help support your girlfriend."
Finn smiled and held out his hand for Amanda. She clasped it, SO HARD!
Finn was not prepared for the grasp she put on his hand. It almost felt like it was going to break right off.
"Just go with the pain!" Finn said in his mind.
He looked down at Amanda who was breathing heavily.
"Amanda I'm right here," Finn said, almost about to cry. "I'm right here and I'm not leaving."
"Finn…" Amanda said weakly. She then screamed again. "I…think…it's…almost time."
Finn nodded and looked at Philby and Willa. They nodded.
"Let's get her ready," said Philby.
Willa nodded. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Amanda's jeans. Amanda smacked them away.
"Either you let me do it, or we have to cut open your stomach," said Willa.
Amanda gulped and then stared at everyone.
"Tell those three to wait outside!" Amanda said. "I don't want to be seen by anyone but the "doctors" and my Finn."
Philby nodded and was about to tell Maybeck, Charlene, and Jess to wait outside, but they already heard Amanda say it.
"Call us when we can come back it," said Maybeck.
They all put on their coats and went outside into the dark snowy Christmas night.
When the door closed, Willa looked at Amanda and she nodded.
Willa pulled off Amanda's jeans and underwear. She laid down flat, wearing no pants or underwear.
"Amanda, I need you to lift your legs," Philby said.
Amanda stared at Philby, embarrassed that he could see her private areas, but she knew it was necessary.
She lifted up her legs and cried out again.
"OH! I think it's coming now!" Amanda groaned.
She squeezed Finn's hand harder. He took the pain for her sake.
"Let's begin," Willa said.
Philby nodded. They both sat in front of Amanda.
"Amanda," Willa said. "Give me a push."
Amanda nodded. She breathed and pushed hard, as if she was going to the bathroom.
"OH GOD!" Amanda yelled in pain. She gave her first push.
"Take it easy Amanda," said Philby. "Just breath slowly and push when you feel it."
Amanda nodded and breathed heavily. She then pushed again.
"AGHHHHH!" Amanda yelled loudly. She pushed and pushed.
"You can do it Amanda!" Willa said. "Give us another push!"
Finn looked down at Amanda. Sweat and tears poured down her face. She was in pain. He could see it.
Amanda breathed in and gave another push.
"AHHHHHH! AHHHHHHH!" Amanda yelled, pushing harder this time.
"Again Amanda!" Philby yelled. "You're doing great."
"Easy for you to say!" Amanda yelled.
"Give us another!" Willa yelled.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Amanda shrieked pushing hard.
"One more!" Philby yelled.
"AHHHHHHGGGHHHHHHH!" Amanda yelled louder.
Willa looked down.
"I can see the head!" Willa exclaimed. "Come on! One more big push!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHNNNNNGGGGGGGGNNNNGGGGHHHHHHH!" Amanda yelled with one more thrust.
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Finn's eyes slowly opened up at the sound of crying.
He looked at Philby and Willa who were laughing and gasping happily. Amanda was gasping for breath.
He slowly looked over Amanda's crotch. He could see it. Willa slowly pulled the screaming baby out into the open, where both Finn and Amanda could see it.
Finn covered his mouth as tears rolled down his face. Amanda was already in tears.
"It's a girl," Willa said. "Amanda it's a girl!"
Amanda nodded happily, covering her mouth as well.
They watched as Philby carefully cut the umbilical cord. Willa then gave the baby a quick bath in the water to wash off blood and bodily fluids.
When the baby was all clean, Willa carefully, gently, and tenderly dried the baby with a towel and wrapped it in a blanket.
Philby told Amanda she could put her legs down. She slowly did and then Philby covered her up with a blanket.
"My baby," Amanda cried as she reached out for her daughter. "My baby girl."
She sat up and Willa gently handed her the baby wrapped up in a blanket. She held it and stared at her. She burst into tears and kissed the baby's forehead.
Finn was finally able to lay down next to Amanda, staring at his own daughter while tears rushed down his face.
Willa was on the verge of tears. Philby then put his hand on her shoulder.
"Let's give them a few minutes," he said.
Willa smiled and nodded. They put on their coats and went outside to join the others.
Finn and Amanda stared at their daughter and then at each other.
"You did it," Finn whispered.
"We did it," said Amanda.
Finn stared at the baby.
"She's perfect," he said. "And beautiful. Just like her mother."
"Oh stop it!" Amanda laughed. "I'm a complete mess right now."
Finn laughed and then he brought his lips to Amanda's. They kissed and kissed repeatedly in joy.
"Finn…" Amanda whispered after they kissed for a while.
"Yes my love?" Finn asked as he leaned in to kiss her again.
"Her name," Amanda said.
"What?" Finn asked.
"Her name," Amanda repeated. "We have to decide on her name."
Finn nodded in agreement.
"How about I pick her first name and you pick her middle name?" Finn asked.
"Okay," said Amanda.
"Good," said Finn. "How about…Amelia?"
"Amelia?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah, it as an Am in the beginning of her name and ends in an a, like Amanda," Finn said.
Amanda laughed.
"Okay then," she said. "Her first name is Amelia. And her middle name is…Lauren."
"Lauren?" asked Finn.
"Your first name is Lawrence," said Amanda. "If her first name is named off of me, then her middle name will be named off of you."
Finn smiled and nodded.
"Amelia Lauren Whitman," Finn said. "I love it! And I love her, and I love you."
Amanda smiled. Amelia made a soft baby sound, which made Finn and Amanda burst into tears again.
"Our baby born on Christmas," said Amanda. "That is the greatest gift you could ever give me."
Finn smiled happily.
"I'm glad you like it," he said.
"Hey guys?" Maybeck said from outside, knocking gently on the door. "Can we come in now?"
"Yes of course!" Amanda yelled.
Maybeck, Charlene, and Jess were the first ones in. Right when they saw Amelia the burst into tears.
"My niece," Jess cried.
"She so cute!" Charlene squealed.
"Shit!" She's goddamn amazing!" Maybeck exclaimed.
"Quiet! Maybeck!" Amanda snapped. "She can hear everything you say!"
Maybeck apologized and then bent down.
"Hi baby," he squealed. "It's your Great and Powerful Uncle Terry!"
"She has a name Maybeck," said Finn. "It's Amelia. Amelia Lauren Whitman."
"Amelia," Philby said. "I love it."
Finn had everyone surround Amanda and Amelia.
"Welcome to the world Amelia," Finn said. "I'm your father, Finn. This is your mother, Amanda. And these are our friends, the Kingdom Keepers!"
Amelia stared at everyone with her big eyes.
"As long as we're together, no matter how long we are trapped here," Finn said. "I will never let anything happen to you."
