"Karen Darlin' come on let's go to the hospital!"

"hmmm not yet! I can't move! Hmmm Get the kids!" She said taking slow deep breathes in an out.

"Okay!" He said as he went to get the kids.

"Daddy what goin on?" McKenna asked sitting on the couch in the room next to Jagger who was sitting there looking around holding his stuffed turtle.

"Mommy's having our baby Princess!" He told her.

"Baby sister!" McKenna smiled.

Jon was slowly massaging her lower back as Karen was laying on her side gripping the sheet so tight he noticed her hands were white. She continued to hum and breathe softly.

"Breathe Darlin' just breathe nice and slow." He said softly.

"Baby Sister Daddy!" McKenna cheered.

"That one's over." Karen said looking at Jon and then back at the kids. "Baby Brother sweetie Bentley remember?"

"Yeah Betwely." McKenna said.

"Kisses!" She smiled giving Jagger a kiss.

"How's everything going?" Seth whispered to Dean.

"Going as well as can be! Hey what's wrong with Cheyenne?"

"I think she's getting a little jealous with all this new baby stuff. I mean Reagan and now Bentley." Seth said to him.

"Poor kid I know she's going through a lot." Jon said looking at her.

"Me too man me too!" Jon said.

"Chawla pay wit me?" Jagger begged.

"HMMM." She hummed.

"I know it hurts Darlin'." Dean told her as he kissed her hand.

"I know sorry! Well great news you are 10 cm and ready to have this baby!" She smiled.
