Eduardo was right by Christopher the minute the words were out of his mouth. "She's what?"

"She's not injured, she's in labor. We need to get her back to the ship because she's having a baby like, right now." Christopher said. He delicately handed Sam to Eduardo, who instantly looked desperate to hold her, upon hearing what Christopher had just said. Eduardo gathered her in his arms, and Sam threw hers around his neck.

"Oh Sam," Eduardo said, his tone completely different, "it's alright, I'm here now. It's gonna be alright now."

"Not to interrupt or anything," Nathan interjected, "but we should probably get the hell out of here while the other part of Alan's crew are otherwise indisposed."

"I agree with Nathan," Morgan stated, "we have to get Sam back to the ship. We're all about to have a baby!"

The group agreed quickly and swiftly made their way out of Alan's room. Alan had been tied to the bedpost by Nathan, but still being unconscious, the group wasn't worried about him anymore. Sam held onto Eduardo's neck tightly as they made their way up the stairs, and headed towards their own ship. He whispered words of encouragement to her as he carried her towards the Sirius. She sobbed again as she squeezed his neck, another contraction hitting her.

They quickly made their way across the ladder that the boys had used to switch ships, and boarded the Sirius. Despite being in immense pain, Sam felt so relieved to be back on the Sirius. She was just relieved in general that they had managed to find her. She'd been terrified that Alan had done something to them after he'd taken her, and was just so happy to see all of them well. Not that she could focus too much on that, she had other presses issues at hand. While Eduardo and Christopher quickly made their way to Christopher's office, the rest of the crew busied themselves with detaching the Sirius from the Rika, and trying to get as far away from them as possible.

Christopher quickly threw a blanket over the table, and Eduardo gently placed Sam on top of it. Lying back on the table, she looked up at Eduardo, sweat continuing to drip down her face. Eduardo pulled a chair up next to her and grabbed her hand, squeezing it reassuringly as Christopher hastily grabbed some supplies off the shelves. Sam's head pushed down into the table as she cried out with another painful contraction. Eduardo was right by her side, whispering words of encouragement to her as he sat next to her. Christopher came back to the both of them, going back down towards Sam's lower end. He placed his hands on her knees as he moved away her lower garments, inspecting how far along in the delivery she was.

He looked back up at Sam, a slightly worried look on his face. "Alright Sam, it's not going to be an easy delivery for you, but we're going to get you through this alright?"

"What do you mean it's not going to be an easy delivery? Childbirth was supposed to be easy?" She screamed, squeezing Eduardo's hand.

Christopher smiled. "No, it's not. What I mean is that the baby is breach; it's turned around the wrong way. So you're going to have to push even harder."

"Breach? Is it going to be ok?" Eduardo asked.

Christopher nodded. "It'll be fine; Sam's just going to have a harder time with it. Now I can see it starting to come out, so you're going to have to start pushing Sam."

Eduardo kissed her forehead. "It's gonna be ok love. I'm right here."

Christopher held her knees further apart as he looked up at her face. "Ok, start pushing now." Sam nodded as she began pushing with all of her might. It hurt so bad that she was afraid she would pass out from it. But with Eduardo stroking her hair and kissing her forehead reassuringly every now and again, she continued on. She screamed as she gave one last final push before resting again. Her head bounced against the table as she collapsed against it, panting as she rested her body as much as she could.

"Come on Sam, don't stop, keep pushing." Christopher instructed.

Sam shook her head, sobbing. "I can't. I can't. I need to rest a minute."

"Sam I know how tired you are, I can't imagine, but you have to keep pushing." Christopher insisted.

Sam shook her head again and squeezed Eduardo's hand in hers, the pain so incredible she could barely handle it. It tore into her, and she felt as if she could rip in half at any moment. Christopher motioned for Eduardo to come closer. As Sam closed her eyes, tears trickling down her face, Christopher leaned forward to speak to Eduardo.

"You've got to get her to keep pushing." Christopher whispered.

"She says she needs to rest. Give her a minute." Eduardo replied sharply.

"And in any other time I would, and by god she deserves it. But Eduardo, she's starting to bleed out more than she can handle. Having a breach baby can do a lot of damage to her if it doesn't come out soon. Lord knows how long she was in labor on the Rika. If she doesn't push this baby out soon she's going to bleed out. Look at her face Eduardo, she's already as white as a ghost. You've got to get her to push."

Eduardo's eyes widened, but he nodded, swallowing thickly as the reality of the situation dawned on him. Going back up to his crying wife, he cupped her face in his hands, rubbing his finger tenderly across her cheek. "Come on Sam, you've got to keep pushing."

Sam squeezed her eyes shut. "I'm trying!"

"I know you are baby, but you need to keep pushing. Please baby, you can do it." He encouraged softly, stroking her face. Sam swallowed thickly as she looked up into his reassuring eyes. Nodding, she went back to pushing. Throwing her head back and resting it back against the table, she pushed with all of her might. As she screamed in pain again, she harbored her new found respect for all the mothers out in the world.

"That's it Sam! Almost there!" Christopher shouted encouragingly up at her.

Eduardo was on his feet next to her at that point, holding onto her arm and she squeezed. "Come on, you can do it Sam!"

"One last push Sam, come on!" Christopher said.

Sam mustered as much energy as she could and gave one final push, pushing with everything that she had. Screaming and shouting, she gave it everything she had, and pushed until she suddenly felt everything leave her body. Her head fell back against the table as her energy drained once again, and she slumped into the table. Her ears rang as panted in exhaustion. She could see Eduardo smiling at her, then down at Christopher, then back at her. Panting, she sobbed in relief and happiness when she heard the tiny cries of a baby.

"What is it?" Sam managed to ask quietly, still panting.

Christopher gathered the tiny baby in his arms and smiled up at her. "It's a girl."

Eduardo leaned down and kissed her on the lips firmly. She could feel hot tears fall onto her face, and she realized they were Eduardo's. She was too tired to say anything else, but looked down at Christopher, wanting to see her baby. He quickly took her over to another table to dry her off, and to clean her up a bit. Once he cleaned her, he wrapped the baby in a towel, and then handed the tiny little pink baby to Eduardo. Eduardo beamed with a glow that Sam had never seen from him before, but it seemed to suite him. He laughed wetly as he looked down at the little girl in his arms, holding her delicately as if he were afraid to break her. Sam relaxed against the table, closing her eyes momentarily to rest as Eduardo held their daughter in his arms.

"Congratulations you two. She's beautiful. I'll leave you two alone and tell the boys." Christopher said, quietly making his exit.

Eduardo sat down next to Sam, showing her the beautiful baby in his arms. "She's perfect." And as Sam looked down at their daughter, she couldn't agree more. She was beautiful. A little angel in her father's arms as she cooed quietly up at him.

Eduardo looked up at Sam, tears welling in his eyes. "She has your eyes."

Sam smiled over at him. "Beautiful little Lily."

Eduardo nodded. "It suites her."
