Hello gladiators ! My apologies for falling behind on my stories. It was the holidays and then new years and then I was trying to work on our blog and everything just spiraled out of control. Now I can catch everyone up on stories until that fateful day on the 29th. But anyway…
He had been there before. He remembered holding Kim's hand when Javi came into the world. Life had surely dealt him a few hands since then. He was a soldier above all, fighting for the good of the republic. But then his government that he had served had betrayed him. Once by denying him his family and the second time was when they thought that he would actually try to kill the President. He had no family but Olivia and the gladiators.
The sweat poured down her skin and caused her hair to form into dark ringlets. Quinn had endured pain in her life before but never like this. She knew that the end result would be worth it , but still labor was its own private hell.
"Damn you , damn you to hell" she gritted through her teeth. The hand he held was not the dainty one , but one with the power to crush his muscular one. She had killed with those hands and Huck carefully eyed each instrument on the table in the delivery room. He knew she had the ability to administer everyone of them to his area to render him harmless.
"I will cut it off, you know I can do It too because you taught me well." Screamed Quinn.
The doctor on call was brought on the case since she was from Washington. Fitz made sure that she got a competent doctor .
"Mrs. Sanchez, I am Dr Hazen , now let me check to see how far a long you are." Quinn laid back down and tried to relax. With his hands in her cervix, she waited patiently for the verdict. His head popped out and he took off the latex gloves.
"I think we are ready to have a baby now." He announced. A nurse turned on the overhead lights so he could see when the baby was coming out. Huck held up Quinn's leg and supported her back . She licked her lips and wished she could have a drink. They were so dry.
"You can drink soon. Hon," Huck said softly. In a louder voice he announced. "Her name is Quinn. "
"Quinn I am going to need you to push." The doctor said. Gathering up all her strength, she began to groan . They kept looking for the head to come out , but alas nothing. She started to cry. Huck took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
"Doing great hon." He cheered. "Keep it up ."
In the waiting room sat the gladiators. They waited eagerly with news of the baby's arrival. Javi entertained himself with his phone . He had grown exhausted of the waiting for his new brother. Abby sat while David had went to get her a coffee. Harrison had initiated a conversation with one of his many women.
After a while, Huck finally came out and yelled happily "He's here!" By now, everyone from the house had arrived . Tom and Hal had to do a sweep for Olivia and Fitz when they first got there. The security chief at the hospital closed off the maternity wing to allow them to wait as well. Before long, everybody was buzzing about how the former President and First Lady were in the hospital.
A few hours later, Huck came into the waiting area and asked that Olivia and Fit follow him back to the waiting room.
Huck was very unaccustomed to making speeches, let alone communicating with people. Quinn gave him the baby and then gave her explanation .
"Since the baby was born when we came for the dedication of the library, we have decided to name him Fitzgerald Thomas Sanchez. Olivia , you have been nothing but a friend to me. Even when I didn't want to be your friend. You both have been like family to me. I wanted our son to be named after a great man and I can't think of anyone greater than you . "
Olivia went over to the bed and started to cry . "Thank you , you are my family too."
It was the nicest picture , Quinn, Huck, Javi, Kerry , and now Fitzy gathered around the bed. Fitzy was fast asleep.
