7months and a baby girl on the way!

Daniel and Betty had been enjoying the first seven months of marriage together. They had three weeks and their baby girl would be here. Daniel had been reading everything and anything about babies so he could be prepared for the arrival. Betty thought Daniel was nuts. But lately in the last trimester of her pregnancy anything he did would drive her nuts.

Betty was fairly uncomfortable in her last trimester. New York happened to be fairly humid in may and Betty could never get cooled off enough. Daniel found himself wearing sweaters in the house and bringing extra blankets to bed. Betty would also be very cranky one minute and very emotional the next. Daniel prayed every night that the baby would come so he did have to endure any more lectures.

"Daniel where is my agenda for this summers layout that we were working on." Betty asked annoyed. She knew she put it on the desk last night in their office.

"I do not know sweetie, where you put it last?" Daniel asked her. He could see the irritation all over her face and knew she was not in the mood to answer him.

"If I knew that I would not be asking you, now would I!" Betty snapped. Daniel counted down the seconds it would take before she would start crying.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Bingo!" He counted. Five seconds and Betty burst into tears. Daniel wrapped his arms around her as she let out a muffled apology.

"I'm so sorry Daniel, I do not mean to get so snippy with you." "I love you."

"It's completely alright." Daniel said he felt like that was one thing he had been saying a lot of lately. Daniel thought about it and he was tired of saying it was alright.

"You know what Betty no, its not alright!" "I know you are pregnant but not everything is my fault and I am tired of you blaming me." Daniel stated angrily. Betty knew she deserved this it had been a whole month of getting angry and than crying. To top it off the doctor said it that she was too close to the due date to make up properly when they had an argument.

Betty let the tears fall down harder as Daniel let her have it for yelling at him. She felt horrible and her back was killing her. She felt her stomach cramp and than her water broke. Betty grabbed her stomach.

"Daniel…" Betty said quietly as Daniel ignored her interruption.

"Daniel… Please listen…" Still Daniel was to into his lecture.

"Betty do not interrupt me when I'm telling you how I feel."

"DANIEL MY WATER BROKE!" she yelled over him. Daniel stopped what he was doing and regreted his lecture immediately. He went to her side and looked concern and happy that finally the baby would be here.

"Are you ok Betty, do you want me to go get your bag while you change to go to the hospital?" He asked as he put an arm around her.

"That would be great and why you're at it can you call our family and the doctor please." Betty let out Daniel nodded his head as he kissed Betty's nose as he ran into the bedroom.

Daniel peaked his head out of the bedroom and said.

"Wow, were going to have a baby tonight!" " You've made me the happiest man alive Mrs. Meade." Daniel said as he finished getting her stuff together. Betty smiled at Daniel as he got her stuff together. Betty was a nervous wreck about the labor. She had not been practicing her Lamaze and the fact that Daniel was so calm made her even more scared to have this baby.

"Daniel, I'm scared!" Betty exclaimed.

"Betty…" "Everything is going to be alright." " There is nothing to worry about." Daniel reassured her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two hours later while they were at the hospital and Betty was gripping his hand Daniel wished he could take back what he had said earlier about everything going to be alright.

Betty had been cursing him out every time she had a contraction. Ignacio said that was normal during a labor but Daniel was not too sure about that.

"Daniel, I want more drugs please." Betty asked him for the hundredth time

"Sweetheart that can not give you more drugs." Daniel said as calmly as possible.

"Fine, you know this is your fault mister why I am like this!" Betty let out furious. "I wish you would just leave the room you're not helping me." Daniel rolled his eyes at her and let out a frustrated sigh. Hilda felt sorry for him. This was suppose to be a joyful event but Betty could not control her hormones at all. Daniel started to walk towards the door when Betty called out to him.

"Daniel do not leave me please, I can not do this alone." Betty let out with tears in her eyes.

Daniel was immediately by her side. "I not going to leave, I was just going to see it the doctor can give you more drugs for the pain." Daniel said softly as he grabbed her hand in his and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Daniel, I know I have not said that lately but I do." Betty said as she kissed Daniels hand. Daniel pressed his hand to her face and rubbed his thumb over her cheek.

"I love you too Betty!" Daniel stated as he leaned over and kissed her lips.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three hours later a beautiful baby girl was born. Betty was exhausted as Daniel cut the cord connecting their baby to it's mother. Daniel never knew he could love someone so much in his life. But looking at his wife and there new little girl he could not help but be emotional as tears came into his eyes.

Betty leaned over to see their new addition to their family and tears poured down her face.

She was so beautiful in every way. She had a full head of curly chocolate brown hair and Daniels nose. She had her eyes close so she could not see what color they were but she had betty's gorgeous full lips. She weighed seven pounds and 5 oz and she 21inches long. She was probably going to be just as tall as her father.

They named her Isabella Rosanna Meade and were going to call her Izzy. She was the perfect addition to their family and they were truly blessed to have her.

"She so beautiful isn't she Daniel." Betty gushed as she held her in her arms

"I can not believe how tiny she is." Daniel let out as he held up her tiny foot. "I mean look at this foot it so tiny."

"I know, but she's so perfect isn't she." Betty exclaimed Daniel nodded is head in agreement as he leaned down and placed a light kiss on his daughters head.

"She looks just like her mom is also just as perfect." Daniel stated with a smile on his face.

"Please I have been a real bitch lately!" Betty let out as she covered Isabella ears. Her newborn baby was not going to be subjected to that kind of language.

"Betty you were in pain and miserable it is ok!" "Look what we got out of it." Daniel said

"We have to be the luckiest parents in the world."

" You are right we are!" Betty agreed as the watched Isabella sleep.
