It was eight in the morning the day after Hailey was due to give birth and so far nothing was happening. Hailey was just getting more and more anxious. To keep her mind off of things she decided to start a baby scrap book. A few weeks before she had picked up supplies to make one but hadn't gotten around to doing it. She picked up scrapbook paper for backgrounds and stickers. She had ultrasound pictures, as well as pictures of her and Flack as children. She wanted this scrapbook to be something special for Kailyn to look at as she got older. She had also purchased a baby book to keep track of all the important events in Kailyn's life.

The light pink book had white polka dots all over, with a white ribbon going down the book and one going across. Hailey wrote Kailyn Molly Rose Flack across in cursive. She began the first page by putting the babies' ultrasound pictures on the page. She gasped feeling a slight pain in her abdomen but ignored it.

For the next half an hour Hailey continued with the scrapbook and started feeling more pains in her abdomen. She suddenly realized the pains were coming around ten minutes apart and knew they were contractions. Grabbing the cell phone which sat next to her on the couch she dialed Flack's cell phone number; he was at work.

Getting to the forth ring, he still hadn't picked up "C'mon pick up" she muttered to herself

"Detective Flack" he answered apparently not checking the id to see who was calling

"Flack it's me" she spoke

"Hailey what's going on" he asked

"I'm having contractions" she informed him just as another one came.

Flack was not prepared for those words. Although it was only one day after her due date he knew that more than likely she wasn't going to have the baby on that day. Before he could say anything he heard her say "Ohh shit"'

Scared he asked "What happened"

"My water just broke" she responded

"Alright just stay calm" he told her even though on the inside he was beginning to freak out. "How far apart are the contractions" he asked remembering reading the expectant father book Hailey asked him to buy.

"About ten minutes" she responded

"Okay that's good" he tells her remembering that from the book "We have plenty of time"

That seemed to calm her down and made her smile knowing he took interest in their child's life by reading the book.

"Are you at the apartment" was his next question

"Yeah" responded Hailey

"I'll be home as soon as I can" he said

"Okay" she responded and hung up the phone. She sat on the couch waiting for Flack to get home.

At work, Flack called Mac to let him know that Hailey was in labor. Mac told him to call back when she had the baby.

An hour later Flack arrived at the apartment and checked on Hailey. She told him the contractions were still ten minutes apart and that they should call her doctor. He walked into the kitchen and looked on the fridge to get the number.

"Dr. Drake" the OBGYN answered sounding professional

"This is detective Flack my girlfriend Hailey Brooks is a patient of yours" he spoke

"Hello Mr. Flack, how's Hailey" she asked

"That's why I'm calling, she's having contractions and her water broke" he informed the doctor.

"How far apart are they" the doctor asked

"About ten minutes" he replied

"Okay when they are five minutes apart for at least a half an hour I want you to call me back" she told him

"Okay thank you" Flack said hanging up the phone then walking over to the couch.

"What did she say" Hailey asked

"She said once your contractions are five minutes apart for at least a half an hour to call her back" he told her

"Oh god" she moaned "this kid is never coming out"

Flack said nothing just sat next to her rubbing her shoulder reassuringly.

A few hours later, her contractions started coming five minutes apart and Flack called back Dr. Drake.

"I want you to bring her to the hospital I will meet you there and we'll have a room ready for her" she spoke before they disconnected their call.

Flack helped her up off the couch and was ready to bring her to the car when he stopped. "Don't you need an overnight bag or something shouldn't you pack it"

"Don I've been packed for six weeks it's on my bedroom floor" she told him as he went to her bedroom to grab it. He walked back out with the bag in one hand and grabbed her hand with his free one.

"You ready" he asked

"Yeah" she responded with a smile on her face

On the way downstairs to his car, Flack called his parents to let them know Hailey was going to the hospital. They told him they would meet the couple at the hospital.

The hospital was thirty minutes away from the apartment. Once there Flack helped Hailey out of the car and inside to the front desk.

"My girlfriends having a baby" he announced to the woman

"Mr. Flack" he heard a voice call and looked over to see Dr. Drake with an orderly who had a wheelchair.

They walked over to her as Hailey sat down in the chair. "I need you to fill out some forms" the doctor informed Flack "She'll be room 203 when you are done"

They wheeled Hailey off as Flack sat down to fill out insurance information. Just as he was done filling it out he saw his parents walked in. He saw his mother carrying a small pink gift bag. They walked over to the front desk, as they hadn't seen their son.

"Ma, dad" he called walking over to the desk to hand over the information.

"Hey how is she" his mother asked hugging her oldest child

"She's good" he answered smiling "We just got her and we got a while to go"

"Well get in there" Mary exclaimed "And let us know when our granddaughter is here"

"I will" he called to them making his way to Hailey's room.

Inside the room, Hailey had changed into a hospital gown and had been hooked up to a fetal monitor. Dr. Drake checked to see how dilated she was and let her know she was only four centimeters. The doctor looked at her patient and noticed her crying.

"What's wrong sweetie" she asked

"I just wish I got along better with my mother" she admitted "when I was younger I always imagined my mom would be here with me."

"Why haven't you called her" Dr Drake inquired

"I want to be happy" she said "I don't want my daughter to come in the world in a hostile environment and I fear that's what my mother will bring"

"I'm sorry sweetie" the doctor apologized not knowing what to say

"It's alright" she said smiling through her tears

Just then there was a knock at door and Flack walked in. He had heard what Hailey said and planned on calling her mother to let her know about the birth. He also planned on having a long talk with her mother to tell her not to talk down to Hailey or berate her, that's not what she needs.

"Hey" Hailey greeted wiping away her tears with a tissue

"Hey you okay" he asked not letting on that he heard her conversation with the doctor

"I'm fine" she said forcing a smile

After about an hour the doctor came back in to check on Hailey to see how she was doing. The doctor found that Hailey was now seven centimeters dilated.

"Hailey your now at 7 centimeters so it shouldn't be too much longer before you start pushing" she informed her and left the room.

About forty five minutes later Hailey told the nurse she felt the urge to push, so the nurse called the doctor in and discovered that she was indeed fully dilated.

"Hailey when the next contraction hits and you feel the urge to push I want you to push" the doctor said

So when the contraction came she pushed, after a few more pushes the doctor spoke "Your doing great I can see the head"

Flack looked over to see his daughter and couldn't hold back the emotion as tears sprung in his eyes.

"C'mon Hailey just a few more pushes" Dr Drake told her

"I can't" she cried "I can't do it"

"Yes you can" Flack said in a soothing tone "Just a few more pushes. C'mon Hailey"

She pushed three more times and burst into tears when she heard her daughter crying.

"You did it" Flack told her kissing her hand as the emotions got to him and he felt tears coming down his face. He couldn't believe that he helped bring a child into this world and he never thought he would feel such love for another human being. As soon as he saw his daughter he felt that love right away.

"Do you want to cut the cord" Dr Drake asked and all he could was nod

After cutting the cord the nurses took the baby to clean her up, weigh her measure her and do an APGAR test, everything was fine. They wrapped the baby in a blanket, told the parents she was 7 lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. Hailey was given the option of whether she wanted Kailyn to stay in the room with her or in the nursery. She told them she wanted her daughter in the room with her but they had to take her to the nursery first as they finished up with Hailey and brought her to her room.

Flack walked into the waiting room to tell his parents. "Shes beautiful" he exclaimed as his mother burst into tears "Shes so tiny ma"

"How much does she way" Don Sr asked

"7 pounds 8 oz and 21 inches long" he informed them

"When can we see her" his mother asked

"They brought her to the nursery, Hailey should be in her room shortly" he informed them "I'll let you know when Hailey's in her room"

His parents walked off to go to the nursery and noticed their son wasn't with them. "You coming son" asked his father

"I have to make some phone calls first" he told them as he walked off. He wiped off his remaining tears before making those calls.

A while later the nurse brought Kailyn into Hailey's room as Flack's parents walked in a few moments later. Hailey was holding her newborn daughter looking at her with such admiration. Kailyn was a mixture of both her parents. She has a full head of black hair and big blue eyes like her father. She has her mother's nose and lips. The hospital had given her a pink onsie with A star is born written on it.

"Congratulations she's beautiful" Mary said walking over and hugging the new mother

"I tried" Hailey laughed as Don Sr. hugged her as well

"We got you something" Mary announced handing her the small gift bag

"You didn't have to" Hailey said carefully opening the bag while holding her daughter.

"Nonsense" Mary said

Hailey opened the bag to see a pink and white blanket with a flower design on the bottom.

"Thank you" she said as she unwrapped the blanket the hospital gave her and wrapped her in the new one

"Do you want to hold her" Hailey asked Mary

"Of course" she smiled as she gently grabbed the baby from her mother

"Hello beautiful I can't wait to spoil you" she said to her first grandchild

"Mary" her husband said playfully scolding her

"Don't worry she'll be getting plenty spoiled" Hailey laughed "Where's Don" she asked his parents

"I was getting you a gift" they heard Flack say

Hailey looked up shocked to see her mother and father standing at the door "How" she said

"Your boyfriend called us to let us know our granddaughter was here, why didn't you" her mother Emily questioned

"I didn't think you want to come" Hailey replied honestly

"I wouldn't miss this for the world" her mother said walking over to hug her daughter

"She's so beautiful" her mother stated

"I'm so proud of you" Anthony, her father exclaimed

Both sets of grandparents stayed for an hour. Hailey asked where her sister Gia was and her parents informed her that she was working and would be by the next morning. Once they had left Flack laid next to Hailey in the bed as he held his small daughter.

"We did a pretty good job with her" Flack said

"I know" Hailey smiled looking at her daughter.

There was a knock on the door and Flack yelled to come in. Mac, Stella, Danny, Lindsay, Hawkes and Adam all walked into the room. Stella was carrying a small pinked stuffed teddy bear. Adam had a balloon that looked like it said "It's a boy" upon closer inspection Hailey so a handwritten "not" before the word boy.

"Adam what's with the balloon" Hailey questioned her best friend

"They were out of girl ones" Adam replied as if it was an obvious answer.

"You are such a dweeb" she laughed as Flack handed his daughter to one of her godparents' Danny.

"How do you feel Hales" Stella asked

"Like I just pushed human being out of my body" she giggled "I'm sore but that's about it, it wasn't that bad"

"Ohh please" Flack laughed "I cant do this I cant do this" he mimicked Hailey

"Tell me that after you've past a kidney stone" she laughed "Which by the way is much tinier then your daughter"

"Children" Danny stated as he handed Kailyn to Adam who wanted to hold his daughter

"Why are you passing my daughter aorind like she's an object" Flack stated

"Calm down daddy" Danny joked with this friend "Everybody wants to hold her"

"Relax" Hailey said "We'll have plenty of time to hold her"

The teams stayed for a while longer, once they left the new parents were left alone with their daughter. Hailey was exhausted and was sleeping as Flack pulled a chair that was in the room next to where his daughter was. She started to cry and he quickly picked Kailyn up and began slowly rocking her.

"Shh" he said trying to soothe his daughter "Daddy's got you"

Daddy he thought to himself I love the sound of that.
