Jemma was over eight months pregnant and told that she couldn't go out into the field or handle any of the samples that they needed tested; so she was forced to stay on the second floor around the rec. area and it was killing her. Skye tried to keep her company some of the time, but it seemed that if she was with Jemma she couldn't focus long enough to get her job done. So Skye had to stay down in the lab with Fitz; Jakob decided that he was going to stay with Jemma and keep her occupied so that she didn't feel that she needed to be in the lab. When Ward, Fitz, Coulson, and Skye weren't on mission they created a little room that would be Emily's room; while Jemma taught Jakob educational things and May taught him a few combat techniques.
Jemma was teaching Jakob several mathematical equations when she felt something that she never felt before; Jakob noticed that something was wrong and looked at Jemma who's figure was bent over in pain.
"Mum what's wrong?" Jakob asked worried.
"I think my water just broke. I need you to go get the others." Jemma said through gritted teeth.
"I'll be back Mum. Just hold on."
Jakob went running down the hall to the stairs that led to the lab where everyone was having a meeting to go over the last mission they were on. By time Jakob got down there to them he was a little out of breathe, but had everyone's attention; they knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong Jakob?" Ward said as he moved toward him.
"Mum…her water just broke." Jakob said as he tried to catch his breathe.
"Oh, let's go." Coulson said surprised.
"All right little man where is she?" Skye said as they all headed up the stairs to get Jemma and head to the hospital.
"In the rec. room." Jakob said as he followed Skye.
"Oh God, this bloody hurts." Jemma said as the team came running into the rec. room.
"We're here Jemma." Skye said as she took Jemma's hand and brushed some hair out of Jemma's face.
"May's landing at the hospital, we should be there in five minutes." Coulson said as he came over to them from the cockpit area. Jemma winced in pain; Skye and Ward were holding Jemma's hands to try and help her through the contractions.
"I'll go get your bag." Fitz said running over to the pods.
"I don't think I can do this." Jemma said as tears came falling down her face.
"Yes you can baby, we're here and it's going to be okay. Once you see her it will all be better. I promise. You're strong. You can do this." Skye said as she and Ward helped Jemma up; May had landed at the hospital and they had to get her inside.
"I called Dr. Riley." May said as she came over from the cockpit.
"Good. This will be quicker." Ward said as he picked Jemma up and carried her bridal style down the stairs toward the cargo ramp.
"Hi guys." Riley said as she came out of the building to meet them. "Set her down on the gurney. You guys can wait in the waiting room. Who do you want with you?"
"Skye and Ward." Jemma said quickly.
"Okay. Let's go. We'll see how dilated you are and see if we're ready to push."
Soon they were inside the hospital with Jemma, Skye, Ward, and Riley in a delivery room, while Jakob, May, Coulson, and Fitz were waiting in the waiting room for any information on how Jemma was doing. Ward and Skye were on either side of Jemma waiting for the moment that they were told that she had to push to give her support. In the waiting room Jakob and the others were pacing around waiting to hear anything on Jemma; Jakob was really worried that Emily would be born like his little brother who was still born, but he didn't want the others to think about that so he kept it to himself.
"Jemma you're ready to push." Riley said as she readied herself to catch the baby; Skye and Ward were on either side of Jemma holding on to her hands.
"I don't think I can do this." Jemma said crying and wincing in pain.
"Yes you can, baby you can do this. We're so close. She's going to be beautiful. Just a couple of pushes and she'll be here. You can do this." Skye said as she kissed Jemma's forehead.
"Be strong Jemma like I know you can. You can do this." Ward said giving her hand a tight squeeze.
"Push." Riley said and Jemma did.
"Ahh…" Jemma cried out as she pushed again.
"I see her head. On the next contraction push again."
"Nhm…"
"You're doing great. She's almost fully out one more push and she'll be here."
"Aaahh…"
"Skye would you like to cut the cord?"
"Really?" Skye said surprised.
"Yep, come here." Riley said as she held the baby.
"Okay. Where?" Skye said as she took the scissors.
"There." The nurse said.
"She's beautiful Jemma." Skye said after she had cut the cord and was back by Jemma's side.
"She's gorgeous." Ward said as he got a glimpse of Emily as they were cleaning her off.
"Here's your baby girl Jemma." Riley said as she brought Emily over to her. "She's perfectly healthy and has all fingers and toes."
"Hello." Jemma said as Emily was placed in her arms.
"You did it baby." Skye said with tears in her eyes.
"She's beautiful."
"Congratulations." Ward said with a few tears in his eyes.
"I'll let the others know that she's prefect." Riley said, "And what is her name?"
"Emily Morgan Simmons." Jemma replied.
"All right."
Riley then headed to the waiting room to inform the others that Emily was born and that she was in prefect health. When she entered the waiting room the rest of the team and Jakob were in front of her the moment they saw her.
"Is she okay?" Jakob asked first. "Is mum okay?"
"They both are great. Emily is beautiful and healthy." Riley said with a smile. "Congratulations."
"Awesome. You promise they both are okay?"
"Yes. Both are okay. It's okay."
Ward came out of the hall that Jemma was done and came over to the team and Jakob; Jakob saw Ward and went to meet him.
"Mum's good right?" Jakob asked him, "And Emily too?"
"They both are great Jakob. Do you want to go see for yourself?" Ward knew Jakob was worried he had told him the story about his little brother.
"Would that be okay?"
"Sure." Riley said after she looked at Ward.
"Come on buddy." Ward said as he put a hand on Jakob's shoulder.
"Tell Mum congrats from us." Fitz said, "And that we'll see her and Emily soon."
"Okay."
Ward then lead Jakob back down the hall and into Jemma's room.
