~TWO MONTHS LATER~
Jared was in the middle of his Bio exam when he felt a sharp pain below his abdomen. He took a couple deep breaths and tried not to focus on the pain. As soon as he finished his exam he sent a text to Jensen: "Just wanted to let you know I've gone into labor. It's not bad butif it gets worse I'll call you."
Jensen texted him back a few minute later: "Okay baby. Be careful and I'll see you soon"
He turned in his exam and sat back down to wait for Jen to finish when another sharp pain hit him. He whimpered a little and took some deep breaths.
~*~J2~*~
Jensen had been in class when he got Jared's text. Now he had a break between classes and he was a wreck. Danni, whose class let out the same time as Jen's, stared at him.
"Jen, what's going on?"
"Jay. He texted me during class. He's gone into labor."
"Wow, he's early isn't he?"
"A few days," Jen nodded.
~*~J2~*~
After Bio, Jay and Gen headed for the cafeteria. Jay didn't want to eat but Gen made him.
"You have to eat Jay. You need your strength. Are you sure you don't wanna go to the hospital?"
"Yes. It's way too early to head to the hospital."
Gen sighed and nodded as she handed Jay a juice.
~*~J2~*~
"Did you hear that?" Mike said looking at his companions. "It's almost time."
"Yeah, but how are gonna get in there?" Tom asked.
Chad grinned, "Leave that to me. His mother thinks we're still friends."
Tom frowned, "Guys, I don't know if we should do this."
Mike frowned, "Do not tell me you are having second thoughts."
Tom frowned, "Well no, but-"
"Good."
~*~J2~*~
By the time 3:30 rolled around Jared's contractions had intensified, but not by much. He still felt it was too early to head to the hospital.
"Hey baby, how are you feeling?" Jensen asked when he picked Jared up.
"Okay, I guess. Contractions are getting a little stronger."
"Think we should head to the hospital?"
Jared shook his head, "Too early."
Jensen sighed, "Okay. I'm gonna take you back to my place, just like we planned and then call your parents."
Jared nodded as Jensen drove. Once inside the house, Donna whisked Jay into the kitchen to fix him a snack while Jensen talked to his boyfriend's mother.
"Do not argue with me Jared Padalecki. Giving birth is no easy task. You need your strength."
Jared whimpered as another contraction hit him. Jensen was by his side in an instant and rubbed his back.
"Relax baby, just breathe. Hey, wanna watch a movie or something?"
Jared nodded. Jensen took Jared upstairs and popped in a movie.
~*~J2~*~
When Donna and Sherri went to check on the boys around 6:30, they found them both sleep. Sherri noticed the sheen of sweat on her son's forehead and knew he was in pain.
"Moje biedne dziecko," she murmured.
"What did you say?" Donna asked.
"My poor baby," Sherri replied as she shut the door behind her.
"Yeah, I hope he's okay."
"Jensen takes good care of him."
"That he does," Donna smiled.
Jared woke up when another contraction seized him. He buried his head in Jensen's chest to muffle his cry of pain. Jensen immediately wrapped an arm around him.
"Shh, its okay. You're okay."
"Jen," Jared cried.
"I'm here baby. What do you need? You wanna go to the hospital?"
Jared whimpered and shook his head, "No. Too early. Contractions are still too far apart."
Jensen nodded, "Okay. Want me to get you something?"
"Apple juice?"
Jensen nodded and went to get Jared some juice.
~*~J2~*~
Everyone sat down to dinner around 8:30. Jared was just too uncomfortable and in too much pain. Jensen frowned unsure of what to do to make him feel better.
"Have him take a shower," Sherri suggested.
Jensen looked at Jared, "Wanna try a shower baby?"
Jared nodded and Jensen took him upstairs to the shower. He let Jared stand under the warm spray as he soaped and washed his body. All of a sudden a really sharp pain hit Jared and he cried. Jensen crushed their mouths together kissing him passionately so to help Jared not think of the pain. When the need for air came, Jay pulled back.
"Jen?"
"Yeah baby?"
"My water broke."
"I'm guessing now you wanna head to the hospital," Jensen said as he rinsed them off before shutting off the water.
"I don't know. I mean the contractions are still kinda far apart."
"I think we should go."
Jared nodded. Jensen led him into the bedroom where they dressed and headed back downstairs. Jensen explained what happened and what was going on. That's when Jared started to panic.
"Jay, calm down. We've gone over this plenty times."
"But Jen…"
Jensen sighed shaking his head as he helped Jared into the truck, "But nothing. Call Dr. Wyatt and focus on breathing Jay."
Jared sighed and did as he was told. By the time they reached the hospital, Dr. Wyatt was already waiting for them. They had just gotten Jared in a wheelchair when he was seized by another contraction. As soon as the contraction subsided they got Jared on the bed and administered the epidural. Dr. Wyatt waited for it to take effect before measuring him.
"Well you're only dilated 3 centimeters. You've got a long wait ahead of you since you need to be at 10 centimeters."
Jared sighed and Jensen stroked his hair, "Why don't you try sleeping more, babe."
Dr. Wyatt nodded, "That may help speed the process and also walking helps," She said before excusing herself to check on her other patients.
~*~J2~*~
By midnight, the epidural had fully worn off and Jared was in a lot more pain and he'd only dilated 5 centimeters. He had tried walking but that wasn't helping. Before Dr. Wyatt had taken off for the night she suggested that they head back home because he still had a long wait ahead of him. Jared didn't want to.
"Jen," Jared whined.
"I'm here baby. Wanna try another shower?"
Jared nodded. Jensen helped him up and into the bathroom and helped him shower. After they showered and dressed, Jared lay back on the bed. Donna placed a wet washcloth over his forehead and kissed his cheek.
"Get some rest dear."
~*~J2~*~
Around 5:30am Jared bolted awake at the pressure he felt between his legs. It was time. He shook Jensen who bolted awake.
"Huh? What?"
"Get the nurse Jen, its time."
Both Donna and Sherri squealed with happiness and left the room to call the family while Jensen got a nurse who paged Dr. Wyatt and re-administered the epidural. The nurse then brought him into the delivery room where Dr. Wyatt met them. The delivery room was pretty tight with Dr. Wyatt, a nurse, Jensen, both Jensen and Jared's moms, and Tom hand insisted he be there to witness the birth of his child.
"Are you ready Jared?" Dr. Wyatt asked.
Jared nodded. Dr. Wyatt nodded and smiled at him. As she finished prepping herself, Jared screamed.
"It hurts! Jen, make it stop!"
"What's wrong, baby?"
"Something's wrong!"
Dr. Wyatt felt around the womb and put her fingers back inside the birth canal and frowned. Donna saw the doctor's look.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"I think Emilia is upside down. Jared, we're going to prep you for an emergency C-section."
"I'm losing her!"
"Shh, you're not losing her, I promise. She's just facing the wrong way which is preventing you from delivering her naturally. Now, would you like me to put you completely under?"
Jared shook his head and Dr. Wyatt nodded. Along with the epidural he had just received, the nurse gave him some local anesthesia. Dr. Wyatt drew a curtain around Jared's lower half in case they didn't want to see and set about cutting Jared open.
Jensen tried to keep his boyfriend's mind off what was happening and talked to him about how beautiful Emilia was going to be and how she was going look just like Jared. Jared smiled lovingly at him.
"Thank you," he said.
"For what?"
"Being there for me. Helping me through this. I never would've made it through without you."
Jensen chuckled, "Yes you would've, but you're welcome."
Dr. Wyatt noticed why Emilia was the wrong way. She saw that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's poor little neck and it prevented her from turning. She decided not to say anything to her young patient as she gently removed the cord so he wouldn't get scared.
As Tom watched Dr. Wyatt deliver his baby and Jared and Jensen talk about the baby like it was theirs, he got more and more angry.
Jared heard his daughter's cry and he and Jensen both perked up. That's when everything went to hell. Just as Jared was about to tell Jensen to cut the cord, Tom disappeared behind the curtain. He reemerged seconds later with Emilia in his arms and bolted out the door. Jared let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"MY BABY! EMILIA! NOOOOO!"
The nurse ran out of the room followed by Sherri and Donna. Jared tried to get off the bed but Jensen restrained him.
"My baby!" Jared cried.
"They'll get her, you need to be stitched back up," Jensen said.
It took some coaxing, but Jensen managed to get a sobbing Jared to lie back down so Dr. Wyatt could stitch him up.
~*~J2~*~
Out in the waiting room Jared and Jensen's family saw Tom running by, but they didn't notice he had the baby until Sherri and Donna came out screaming.
"Zatrzymaj go, że ma dziecko! Ma Emilia!"
"He has Emilia! Stop him!"
Alan, Jerry, Josh, and Jeff immediately jumped to their feet and took off in the direction that Tom ran. The nurse headed to the nurse's station and called security. Megan and Mackenzie followed their mothers back into the delivery room.
"It's gonna be okay Jare," Megan said hugging her brother gently. "He won't get far. The entire hospital security is after him."
Jared just whimpered and buried his face in his sister's neck.
~*~J2~*~
Tom had just made it out to his car when he was soon surrounded by not only hospital security but real cops too. He laughed as he gunned the engine and took off while holding the wailing baby in one arm as he drove. Looking out the rearview mirror, he saw the cops were chasing him. He laughed.
"They won't catch me."
He took his hand off the wheel and pulled out his cellphone to dial Chad and sat it down on speakerphone.
"This better be good Tom, I was in the middle of something, or should I say someone."
Tom laughed, "I have the baby, Chad. I got her, but I got a million cops on my ass."
Chad laughed, "Nice going! Try to ditch them and I'll see you back at my place."
Tom laughed again and hung up the phone while he drove with Emilia crying in his arms and tried to ditch the cops.
~*~J2~*~
Half an hour later Jared had been moved to his own room and had cried himself to sleep. Jensen sat next to him running his fingers through his hair. Several minutes later there was a soft knock on the door and it was opened.
"Jen?"
Jensen looked up and saw Josh standing there with Emilia in his arms. Jensen walked over to him.
"Is she…?"
"Doc said she's fine, just cried herself to sleep."
Jensen nodded and took the baby from his brother. Josh clapped Jensen on the shoulder.
"We're gonna take off. Tell Jared we'll see him tomorrow."
Jensen nodded. Josh left shutting the door behind him. Jensen walked over to the bed.
"Jay, wake up. Someone wants to meet you."
Jared opened his eyes frowned before looking at Jensen, "Huh?"
Jensen chuckled as he placed Emilia in his lover's arms. Jared broke into a huge grin as she opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Hey baby, I'm your mommy."
Just then a young woman knocked on the door and entered the room. She explained that she was the lactation nurse and showed Jared how to properly hold and breastfeed Emilia. It took several tried but eventually Emilia latched on and drank. Jensen watched Jared and Emilia and thought about how much he wanted them in his life always and forever.
