Julie woke up a few weeks later feeling like their son was going to burst through her stomach any second. She got out of bed and felt the sudden rush as her water broke. She looked over at John.
"We need to get to the hospital. My water broke." She said to him.
"What!" John said getting up quickly. "We need to get dressed and get to the hospital. The bag. We need the overnight bag."
"John, relax." She said with a smile. "Help me change and then we will go."
He quickly helped her change into something else and they were on their way. John called Randy and Carley on the way and told them Julie was in labor.
"I'm sorry we didn't get to married before the baby." Julie said as they drove. Her divorce was going to be final in a week. Wade had finally signed the papers.
"It's okay. We can do it after your divorce is final."
He smiled over at her. "You doing alright?" She nodded and breathed through the contraction as they pulled up at the emergency room the same time Randy and Carley came walking up.
"Ready to have this baby?" Carley smiled at her friend.
"Yes, I'm more than ready." Julie laughed.
They headed into the ER and then up to labor and delivery. John had called the doctor on the way and he said he would meet them there. John told the receptionist the name and they were shown back to a room. Julie was hooked up to a monitor and an IV was started.
"Okay, Julie, let's take a look." The doctor said examining her. "Looks like you are at five centimeters. So we can start an epidural if you want."
"Yes, give me the drugs please." Julie replied with a groan.
"Alright." The doctor laughed and headed out.
"Are you sure about drugs?" John asked.
"Are you kidding? Of course I want the drugs. I'm the one having this baby." She breathed. "When you have the next one, then you can decide." Carley laughed.
"Why don't you guys go to the cafeteria? I will stay with her."
John nodded and kissed Julie before heading out with Randy. Once the guys were gone, Carley turned to Julie.
"Men right?" Carley laughed. "Yeah. But we love them." Carley nodded.
"I'm so glad you're here. I couldn't imagine doing this without you."
"Maybe eight months from now, you can return the favor." Carley said as Julie had another contraction.
"Yeah like I wanted to do this without drugs. Has he felt this pain?" Julie said as she breathed through a contraction.
"No he hasn't felt it."
"Did you just say you're pregnant?" Julie asked.
"Yep." Carley smiled. "So, what names have you guys picked for this little man?"
"We like Ethan, Luke, Nikolas, and Mason."
"Those are good." Carley smiled.
"Have you told Randy yet?"
"Not yet."
"You should be out doing something romantic to celebrate this."
"I wouldn't be anywhere else but here." She said.
Julie smiled but it quickly faded when she had a contraction. "Oh god, can I get the drugs already?"
"Let me check with the doctor." Carley walked out and saw Randy and John. "Julie is wanting the drugs."
John laughed and headed to where the doctor was. Carley turned to Randy. "I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Alright." They headed into the waiting area.
John talked to the doctor and he headed in. The doctor gave Julie the medication and told her she was at seven centimeters and it wouldn't be long before she had the baby.
She smiled. Soon her baby boy would be there. She looked over at Carley as she and Randy had come into the room. "Go feed my God child before she starves to death." Carley smiled. "Take Randy with you and tell him." Carley nodded.
Once Carley and Randy were gone, John turned to Julie. "What was that about?"
"What?"
"Sending them away for food."
"I figured they might be hungry."
"Julie."
"Alright. Carley is pregnant and she hasn't told Randy yet so I told her to go get some food and tell him."
"Wow, that's great for them."
"I know. It's exciting." Julie smiled.
"Are you in any pain?"
"Are you kidding? They gave me the good drugs."
John laughed as the doctor came in. "Okay, let's see how we are progressing." He examined her. "Alright, you are fully dilated and this baby is ready to come."
The doctor told her to push and an hour later, Ethan Gage Cena was born. Julie smiled as the nurse handed her her son. John took a picture with his phone and smiled at the sight.
Randy sat there across from Carley as she picked at her food. He could tell something was on her mind. "Whatcha thinking about?"
"How maybe we should move the wedding up. I want to still be small enough to fit into my wedding dress." He looked at her confused.
"Why would you not be able to fit into your dress?"
"Because pregnant women gain weight."
"Pregnant? We're having a baby?" She nodded. "When did this happen?"
"One of those many romantic nights at home alone when we were mad at Julie and John." He smiled.
"God, this is the best news." He said as he leaned in and kissed her. His phone went off and he smiled when he looked at it. "Let's go tell them the news and meet our God son."
She smiled and they headed up the room. They walked in and saw Julie holding the baby. Carley headed over and took him from her.
"He's beautiful." She smiled.
"Thanks." Julie smiled.
"He is a cute one." Randy added. "So, Carley and I have some news."
"What?" Julie smiled knowing what it was.
"We're having a baby."
"Congratulations." John said hugging Randy and then Carley. "That's great."
Carley smiled. "We've decided to move the wedding up some. I still want to be able to fit into my dress." Julie laughed a little.
"A bride with morning sickness and a maid of honor with a baby on her hip." Carley laughed.
"Why don't you guys get married with us?" Randy said. The other three looked at him.
"You want a double wedding?" John asked shocked.
"Yeah it will be perfect. Julie's divorce will be final in a week."
Julie looked at Carley. "Randy, a girl's wedding day is special and is suppose to be all about the bride. She shouldn't have to share it with anyone but the groom. You and Carley deserve a day that is just about you."
"I honestly don't mind Jules. We're a family. Besides, as long as Randy and I get to spend the rest of our lives with each other, that's all that matters to me."
Julie smiled and turned to John. "Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah. I mean as long as we get married. It doesn't matter how we do it." He smiled and kissed her. "Now I think you and Ethan need to rest."
"I agree and I think Carley needs to also." Randy hugged Julie.
Carley hugged her next. "We will see you tomorrow."
Julie nodded as Carley and Randy walked out. She smiled. This was the way things should be and she was glad that they had worked out the problems caused by Wade and Ted. Now they could have the life they each deserved.
