Ch. 25 New Life
We got to the hospital at warp speed. Gabriel looked at the nurses who were tending to me with murderous glare for even touching me. Erin had to remind him that the kind of had to look at me in order to help me. He eased up a bit after that.
"Ouch" I shrieked. I was in a lot of pain.
"Your contractions are coming closer and closer together" The nurse said.
"How much longer" I asked.
"You have enough time for a epidural" The nurse said
"I'll take it" I said quickly. Gabriel came back with my over night bag.
"You doing ok Gabby" Gabriel said. I nodded.
"The contractions are awful" I said. He kissed me on my forehead.
"I missed you" I said.
"Don't scare me like that ever again" Gabriel said taking my hand.
"I thought I could trust Nate" I said.
"You thought I could trust Nate" I said.
"You thought you could help him. You're a sweet person for doing so. That is what I love about you" Gabriel said.
"Gabby!" My Grandma said.
"Grandma you made it" I said cheerfully. My grandma started crying when she saw me.
"Congratulations to you both" She said. She hugged Gabriel.
"I meet you sister outside" She said.
"I'm so sorry" I said.
"It's ok. She seemed really quiet" Grandma said.
Suddenly it hit me. I was having a baby. I couldn't help but worry if the baby was healthy. What if the baby had Gabriel's ability? Either way in a few hours we were going to be parents. Peter came in to visit.
"Gabby, you look like hell" Peter said smirking.
"I'm in labor. What's your excuse" I retorted.
"Ouch" Peter said pretending to be hurt.
"How was the epidural?" Peter asked.
"I was a godsend" I said.
Two hours later I was ready to deliver. After an intense thirty minutes we were parents. Elle, Erin and Gabriel were all in the room with me. It was excited to hear the baby's first cry.
"Congratulations! It's a boy" The doctors said.
"Hello Noah Anthony Gray" I said.
Everyone came in to see the baby. Everyone thought little Noah was a doll.
"He's beautiful Gab" Erin said.
"I see he has Gabriel's hair" Elle said.
"He has Gabby's eyes" Peter said.
"What is with that look Peter" I asked him.
"I knew it" Peter said.
"I owe you 50 dollars" Noah asked. Peter put out his hands.
"What" I asked.
"Noah and I had a bet" Peter explained.
"That it was going to be a boy" I asked.
"Yeah. Noah said it was a girl" Peter said
"Can I hold him?" Jade asked.
"Ok" I said giving her Noah.
"He's really sweet" Jade said. I looked at her.
"I know that I have to go back to the company" Jade said.
"What did you do to Cypher" I asked.
"Well Arthur wanted me to watch over him. I got a bit closer then what I was comfortable with" Jade said.
"Typical. Your always hurting people" I said.
"Gab, I will never change. I don't want to. I'm a bitch. I'm ok with that. We are who we are" Jade said.
"Gabriel changed" I reminded her.
"That's because he wanted to." Jade said.
"You always hated him" I said.
"He's my brother-in-law. I don't exactly have to like him" Jade said.
"I hope you enjoy the company. I said" Jade said.
"I'm sure I won't. Call me sometimes" Jade said.
"I don't think I will" I admitted.
"You never do" Jade smirked. Noah and the Haitian were waiting for her. Finally it was just me and Gabriel. Gabriel fed Noah.
"Gab, I think I'm going to take the job at the Company" He said.
"Why" I asked shocked.
"Frank Miller convinced me that it is a good decision" He said.
"I think you should take the job as head of the Company" Gabriel said.
"Why" I asked.
"It's a good job. If Noah has an ability, we can help him more" Gabriel said.
"I'll think about it" I said.
"You seem really comfortable with a baby in your hands" I comment. It was an adorable site.
Right away we went to home. Except this time we had someone new living with us. Thank goodness Gabriel can get bye with little slip. I might be over 200 years old but I am worthless without at least seven hours of sleep. We loved our new addition to our family. Claire stopped by to see him. Elle had to practically pry Noah out of Claire's hands. I finally made my decision about the job at the company.
Two weeks after Noah was born Erin and Elle had dinner at the house.
"I called Frank Miller" I said.
"What for" Elle asked me.
"To tell him I wanted the job at the company" I said.
"Wow what made you decides that" Erin asked.
"I figured I had been doing it for hundred years, why not have help" I asked.
"You're going to be great at it" Elle said.
"They want you and Mohinder to help with the hospital their building for special people" I said.
"A hospital" Elle asked.
"Yeah, that was one of the conditions I asked for" I said. Noah began to cry.
"It's ok my Noah" I said rocking him.
"I never thought I would see that" Erin said.
"Me with a baby" I asked.
"No you with your baby" Erin said. I kissed little Noah's forehead. He grabbed hold my finger.
"The company still looking for Nate" Elle asked.
"Yes. They said it would be easier because they know who he is now." I said.
"I still can't get over the fact that he use to date Jade" Erin said.
"You two obviously like the same type of men" Elle said.
"She didn't really care about him" I said.
"Maybe she wouldn't be so grouchy if she had a boyfriend" Erin suggested.
"I don't think that would help" I said. I hadn't thought of my sister since she left. It was good to have a little break from all the problems. I know that I would have to think about it, but for know it was Me, Gabriel, and our little man.
