Alrighty. This is my first request. It's the complications scene before "New Parents."

Gale's POV

I could feel my voice becoming hysteric, "what sort of complications?" My head snapped to each concentrating nurse. "Someone answer me."

"Move back, Mr. Hawthorne." One of the nurses grabbed my arm. I fought her, bringing myself back to grab Madge's hand.

"No, Gale!" Madge screamed as nurses tried to move me around the room away from my wife.

"I'm right here." I called over one of the nurse's head. "You're going to be just fine."

"Your wife is suffering from Shoulder Dystocia, Mr. Hawthorne." I tried to move around the nurse.

"Just please." I sighed and tried to force myself out of the corner of the room again. "Is she going to be okay?" I was on the verge of screaming.

"You need to calm down, Mr. Hawthorne." The nurse soothed. I watched as they forced Madge onto her back from her original position on her knees.

"Please" She looked helpless as she was surrounded by nurses. Her face was red with pain and her mouth slackened with another gut piercing scream. I fought the nurse easily and was trying to get back by Madge's side.

"I'll escort you outside." The nurse murmured, looking back at my wife.

"No, I don't want to. Please. No. Madge! Madge." She watched me be forced from the room. Her eyes widened in fear.

"Gale!" She screamed and grabbed the nearest nurse to her.

"You're going to be fine." I screamed as the door slammed in my face. "You're going to be..." the words died in my mouth. I backed away from the closed door.

"Are you alright, Sir?" A young nurse asked, putting her hand on my shaking arm. "Do you need a chair?"

"No, I want to be with my wife." I snarled. The nurse blinked up at me, clearly surprised at the venom in my voice, and then patted my arm.

"Sorry to have disturbed you." She murmured and made her way back to the front desk. I looked around and then pounded on the door.

"Let me back in." I said looking down at the handle.

"Sir, you're disrupting the piece." A large man said, walking towards me. His white coat and shining badge showed he was a doctor.

"Please." I said, looking him square in the eye. "I want to be with my wife." The doctor glanced at the door in front of me.

"Behave," he warned jokingly and had a nurse unlock the door. I walked in with the doctor. The nurses looked tired and so did Madge.

She was holding a bundle of blankets to her chest, her eyes were fluttering open and closed. "Mm Gale." She murmured when I took her hand.

"Hi you." I smiled but my eyes lingered on the moving blanket.

"Take her..." She sighed and lifted the blanket with shaking arms.

"Her?" I smiled and eagerly cradled the baby. The girl in my arms was warm under all the blankets they had wrapped her in.

"Yeah," Madge smiled. "She's so beautiful." Her eyes drooped with fatigue. My daughter's red face poked through the blankets. I left Madge's side and collapsed into a chair.

"Hey baby girl." I whispered and drew a finger through her short dark hair. She squirmed and blinked up at me. "Look at those pretty eyes." I smiled.

"What's her name?" One of the nurses asked me carefully. They probably thought I was going to snap.

"Consult my sleeping wife." I said softly. "That's not my department."

"We'll be back in an hour." The nurse whispered and closed the shade behind Madge. I ignored her.

"What are we going to name you?" I wondered. My daughter open and closed her mouth, her eyes were wide and curious as they drifted around the room.

"How about Penny?" I smiled.

"That's a dog's name." Madge muttered.

"Meredith?" I asked looking up at Madge. "After your mother." She turned on her side.

"No..." She said.

"Are we going to continue the long line of 'm' names?" I asked her. She smiled.

"Can we?" I chuckled. Like she needed to ask. Both of them already had me wrapped around my finger.

"Of course." I looked back my daughter, her little hand had now been exposed and the fabric of her onesie was reaching towards my thumb.

"How about... Marcy?" I made a face. "Okay not Marcy." She snorted.

"Mason?"

"That's a boy's name, love."

"Right..." I gave my daughter my thumb.

"May." Madge said, dreamily.

"She was born in August..." I said and rolled my eyes.

"So?" Madge sighed, "fine..."

"Mackenzie." I lingered, hoping Madge would like it.

"Weird." She groaned. "Melanie."

"Not bad." I said. "I can call her Melly."

"Okay, no." Madge laughed.

"Meg." I said. Madge smiled softly.

"I like that." I grinned. "We can name our next daughter that."

"Next daughter?!" I cried out, "oh no." I said and stood. "We're not having another." I said and stormed around the room. "I hate hospitals now, Madison is the last. I'm sorry. I can't go through the last 9 hours again. I can't go through the last 9 months again! I gave myself headaches every day worrying."

"Madison?" Madge whispered. "It's perfect."

"Huh?" I said, trying to remember what I just said.

"You just called the baby Madison- in your loud rant that was unnecessary."

"Oh..." I said. "Hey, Madison." I smiled and handed her to Madge.

"We can shorten it to Madi if we want." Madge said and kissed the newborn's forehead.

"Maybe I should change my name in Male." Madge raised an eyebrow. "Kidding.." I smirked. "I was kidding." I grumbled.
