Carla is now 9 months pregnant and a week before her due date. It's a Friday night the day before her birthday and she's going to visit Michelle in the factory as she does every Friday night.

"Hey Chelle" Carla said as she waddled into the factory

"Hi Car just in here" Michelle said from the office Carla walked in getting very out of breath and sat herself down on her chair.

"So a week to go how you feeling" Asked Michelle logging of the computer.

"Don't know nervous, excited" Carla said smiling and standing up to look in the filing cabinet for some paperwork she could do herself.

"OUUHH" Carla suddenly shrieked.

"What's wrong love" Michelle said standing up and running over to her.

"Nothing I've had them a few time past half hour" Michelle looked at her with wide eyes

"Chelle I'll be fine just go sit back down and don't worry" Carla said finishing looking for the paperwork.

"Do you want a brew" Carla asked walking towards the door

"No you go sit down I'll make them" Michelle said standing up and making sure Carla went back to her seat. Michelle walked out and went to put the kettle on so Carla stood up again annoyed at how everyone was fussing over her and went for the cupboard to check on the fabrics. She took about 2 steps and then suddenly she started to pee and she couldn't stop it.

"Fuck Chelle come ere a minute something's happening and I don't know what" And Michelle ran back into the office where she saw Carla standing with her legs spread a bit and a puddle under her.

"Oh Car sit down I'll call Peter for you" Michelle said raiding through Carlas bag for her mobile.

"Chelle what's happening" Carla asked now with tears starting to run down her cheek.

"Your waters broken those were contractions you were having earlier it coming today or tomorrow" Carla looked at her and shook her head.

"No no it's not due for another week"

"It's just coming early that's all love it's going to be fine"

"Where's Peter" Carla was now in tears and needed to be somewhere comfier.

"He's just coming just bringing the car over to take you back in so you don't have to walk home ok" Michelle said giving her best friend a big hug. And then Peter ran in.

"PETER" Carla screamed

"It's going to be ok baby now me and chelle will carry you out to the car ok"

"I can't do this Peter im not ready" Carla said as she struggled in his arms as he carried her outside and gently put her in the back of the car while Michelle got in beside her and Peter drove round to their flat before once again carried her upstairs to the flat and ran through to their bedroom where he lay her down he left Michelle with her and ran through to the bathroom and got as many towels as he could manage.

"Have you called an ambulance" Peter asked Michelle

"No they don't do anything till she's in birth"

"I'll phone them anyway" And Peter ran out the room

"Chelle how long is this going to last I just want it out now" Carla said and started crying again. Michelle went and sat next to her

"It depends it took Ryan Ohhh about 10 hours in labour and 2 giving birth so it took me 12 hours but some can be really quick"

"12 hours" Carla said grabbing hold of Michelle who just stroked her hair.

"No you're right they don't do anything till she's in birth" Peter said coming back in and sitting down beside Carla

"Do you want me to get you into something comfier?" Peter asked not sure what he should be doing.

"Yes" Carla said gritting it through her teeth as she was in so much pain.

"Em I'll just go get some cushions and stuff" Michelle said walking to the door

"No stay It's fine there's nothing to hide"

"Here you go" said Peter striping her of her normal clothes and giving her a shirt that was well to big for him so it covered most of her up.

"Do you want to get under the duvet make you self as comfortable as possible you don't know how long you'll be" Michelle suggested so Peter lifted her a little and Michelle pulled back the duvet and Peter placed her down again. Michelle and Peter both plumped her pillows and moved them so she was her most comfiest..

"So have you thought of names" Michelle asked taking one of Carla's hands.

"Well we thought Lucy for a girl and Ross for a boy" Carla replied smiling at Michelle.

"ARRGGGGG GGOOODD" screamed Carla squeezing Peters hand so hard it went bright red.

"What's wrong beautiful" Peter asked leaning into Carla and giving her a kiss on the head.

"Their getting sorer" She said out of breath.

3 hours past and it was now Carlas birthday day.

"Peter I need to push NOW" She said getting annoyed that they weren't letting her.

"Ok well if your sure you want to the ambulance is on its way" Peter said helping her up onto her knees and michelle moved the towels under her.

"Right push on the count of 3 Car 1 2 3"And at that Carla pushed really hard and screamed really loudly and then the paramedics came and michelle ran down to get them they immediately ran up and gave Carla pain relief gas to take the pain away and the other one looked up her to see how far away the baby was.

"Right Carla when you feel you need to give me one big push. And Carla gave one big push which popped the baby's head out.

"Ok now you need to be quick" The paramedic said and then Carla pushed again really hard and squeezed Peters hand again so there were now hand marks on it

"Right Carla in more big push for me and your baby will be out" So she took another breath of pain relief and pushed really hard screaming as she did and then the baby came out and the paramedic cut the umbilical cord and Carla collapsed in a heap on the bed out of breath.

"Well done you have a little baby girl" The paramedic said handing the baby over to Carla who instantly hugged it in her arms.

"It's perfect Peter it's so beautiful" she said looking up at him with a big smile on her face

"Takes after her mum then" He said kissing her and the baby on the head.

"Em sorry to interrupt be we must take mum and baby to hospital to get cheeked over" Said the other paramedic who had bought up a wheel chair. Carla passed the baby to Peter who tried to calm her down and Michelle helped Carla button up her shirt and get into the wheel chair.

"Does anyone want to come" Asked the Paramedic.

"Eh yea I'll come, Michelle would you be okay driving there with some spare clothes and the travel seat" Peter asked

"Yea sure you two go off I'll just get some stuff and then be over" Michelle said giving Carla a quick hug and her new niece an quick kiss.
