Hello everyone! Welcome to the last Chapter! Yes the last one. It's been fun writing this but everything always has to come to an end. But worry not. I have a sequel planned out after my crossover story is finished There's a bit more info at the end of the chapter. Hope you all like the ending and as always thank you for all the support and reviews Enjoy :)
Chloe's Pov- It was good being back at work. With my slight disability there are things that I won't be able to do but that list is pretty short. Right now I was helping set up road signs and construction lines. We were going to be redoing an old road that's seen better days.
"So does the new hardware help with your bedroom performance?" My co worker Miles teased as we started setting up a road block sign.
I smirked back and replied. "Not sure. Ask your wife next time you see her." I loved working with these guys. They might be teasing but I could tell they were all worried about me while I was gone.
He chuckled and replied. "I'm sure I'll hear a bunch of good things."
I smiled and we continued working. My mind went to the whole Brooke situation. When I told Max she was pretty beaten up by it. They might not have been good friends but she did consider Brooke a friend. It hurt her bad. But on the bright side all this bullshit is behind us and we can continue with our lives and get ready for the baby that's due soon.
It was during lunch break when I got the call. I answered my cell phone. "Hello?'
"Hello is this Chloe Price?"
"Yup that's me who's this?" I asked.
"I'm one of the nurses who's helping Max. She's in labor."
The world around me froze. It was happening. This is it. "Oh shit! Ok ok uhhh I'm on my way!" I hung up and almost tripped over myself trying to get to Alex.
"Whoa where's the damn fire?" Alex teased while sitting in the back of the company truck eating lunch.
"I have to go! Max just went into labor!" I answered frantically.
He smiled and said. "Alright get going i'm giving you four day's off. No pay."
I smiled and nodded. "I understand and thanks...Shit I got no ride!" Dana has been the one who's been taking me to work everyday.
Alex packed up his lunch and hopped out. "Get in I'll drop you off."
I sighed in relief. "Thank's I owe ya."
Alex smiled and patted my shoulder. "Just calm down ok? You need to be calm especially for Max. This is going to be very painful for her."
I chuckled. "How bad could it be?"
"Where the fuck are you Chloe!?" I heard Max yell from down the hall as I headed for the hospital room. I never heard her scream like that. It was full of pain and anger.
When I entered the room there was a nurse, doctor and my mom. "I'm here Max."
She looked over at me. Her face covered in sweat and scrunched from pain. "Took you long enough!"
I noticed my mom was trying not to laugh at how much trouble I was in. I walked over and stood by Max's bed side holding her hand. Max was taking quick breaths while squeezing my hand. "Sorry babe. I'm here now just take deep breath's and relax."
"I am relaxed!" She yelled back.
I looked over at the doctor and he said. "Don't worry this is how some new mothers react when in labor."
"How long till she's ready to give the birth?" I asked. Wishing that this can be done soon so I didn't have to see Max suffer so much.
"Well. Everyone's different. Could be five minutes from now or five hours from now. Even longer in some cases."
"Five hours! Are you fucking cereal!? Just get her out of me!" Max yelled.
The doctor remained calm. "Miss Caulfield please try to remain calm. Yelling won't make the process go faster."
Max grumbled something about the doctor getting his license from a cereal box then my mother spoke. "Max i know this is hard trust me I know."
"Hey why are you looking at me?" I asked as she glanced over at me.
She continued. "But trust me darlin it'll all be worth it in the end. Just focus your thought's on the future of your baby girl."
Max nodded and her breathing started to slow down a bit. "Thank's Joyce..Sorry for yelling at you Chloe."
I gave her a quick kiss and said. "Don't be sorry babe. We'll get through this together alright?"
She smiled. "Alright. I love you Che."
Love you to Max."
After two and half more hours Max was finally ready to pop. My mom David and all our friends were out in the waiting room while I was with Max. I was holding her hand with my prosthetic one because she squeezed the life out of my other hand. I could still feel it throbbing.
Ahhhh! Fuck it hurts!" Max yelled her body glistening with sweat. As the doctor was down there doing what he was trained to do. "Your doing good Max just a few more pushes."
"No..No more..I can't take this.." She said between breaths.
"Max we're almost there. Just a few more pushes and we'll have our little family" I said trying to coax her.
Max took a few more deep breaths and started pushing again. "Ahhhhhh! God damn it!"
"Just think Max. You can use your rewind power to relive this moment again if you want?" I teased trying to lighten the mood.
All I got was the most intense death glare I ever received. "If you suggest that again I'll remove your other hand." She growled.
Ok maybe joke's wasn't such a good idea right now.
"Just one more push Max" The doctor said.
Max took a few more deep breaths and then pushed one more time. Her yells almost breaking the sound barrier. Then I heard the most beautiful sound in the world. Our daughter crying for the first time. She was finally here.
"Its a girl." The doctor said and the nurse cut the umbilical cord.
I beamed and I could see Max was just as happy as I was. "You did it Max."
Her smile just grew and she replied between breaths. "Yeah..I..Did."
We saw the nurse bring her over after cleaning her up. The little bundle in the pink blanket wailed as she was handed over to Max. Max carefully held our daughter as if she was made of glass and to our surprise her crying stopped almost instantly. The doctor and nurses left to give us some privacy and went to inform our family and friends. She opened her little blue eyes and I couldn't help but marvel how beautiful she is. "Max...She's perfect...Max?"
Max just stared at the little bundle in her arms her smile almost turned into a frown. "I was right..She's his...She has his nose...And his darker hair."
I looked at our daughter as she played with Max's finger cooing. "Max we talked about this. This is our baby. Besides look at her. Besides the nose and hair color she's an exact copy of you. From the blue eyes right down to the freckles."
I saw Max's smile slowly returning not breaking eye contact with the baby. "Your right...Hey it's your mom. Nice to finally meet you."
I could see Max was trying hard not to cry. I leaned down closer and whispered. "And it's me your mama Chloe. We've been waiting a long while for you munchkin."
The baby cooed again happily as she grabbed one of my fingers when I went to touch her. "Got a name Max?"
She nodded and said. "She looks like a Zoey to me."
I smiled. "Zoey Price?..I like it."
Max chuckled and said. "Don't you mean Zoey Caulfield?"
I rolled my eyes and replied. "We'll fight abut that later right now lets just enjoy the moment."
Max nodded in silent agreement not taking her eyes off our daughter.
Max's Pov-It's been two days since Zoey was born. Everyone was happy and excited to finally see her. Joyce was almost overwhelmed being a grandmother. But she was happy. Dana and Juliet thought Zoey was the most precious thing they ever saw. Taylor and Ember were excited to be aunts. Ember deserved the title after being there for me and Chloe this past half year and Taylor was her girlfriend so it only seemed fitting.
Right now I was breast feeding Zoey while in the hospital room. I loved these moments. It was so...Magical. It sounded weird but breast feeding my own daughter. It's a special connection only she and I will ever share. I was in the room alone Chloe was out having a smoke with Ember. A few minutes went by and there was a knock on the door. "Come in" I said trying to be as quiet as possible.
"Hey Max sorry I couldn't get here sooner."
I smiled at the person who walked in. "Hey Kate. It' that's ok I know your a bit faraway."
Kate smiled and looked at Zoey who just got done feeding and I covered myself for modesty. "Max...She's beautiful."
Zoey cooed at Kate and I asked. "Want to hold her?"
Kate looked at me with a bit of shock. "You sure?"
I nodded. "Yeah I'm sure. Her name is Zoey by the way."
I carefully handed Zoey to Kate and she smiled holding te little baby in her arms. "Wow..She looks exactly like you." Kate said in awe.
"Yeah she does...Hey Kate there's something I want to ask you."
She looked at me and waited for me to continue. "Kate..I want you to be Zoey's godmother."
Kate smiled and asked. "Really? You sure?"
I nodded. "Yeah. Kate your my best friend. We've always had each others back. You were there to comfort me when Chloe couldn't. I can't think of anyone better for the job."
Kate blinked away a few tears and replied. "Thank you Max..Your my best friend to. And I'd be honored to be the godmother."
I was so happy right now. Zoey is surrounded by so much love.
One week later.
I woke up to the sound of crying. I groaned an looked at the clock. "1:35 in the morning? Great."
I heard a groan net to me. "Want me to get it?" Chloe groaned tiredly.
I sighed and said. "No you get some sleep you have work in the morning. I got it."
I slowly got out of bed and headed for the nursery in the next room over. I entered and headed for the crib where Zoey was crying. "Shhhh Zoey what's wrong?" I asked softly as I picked her up. And just like that she stopped and cooed once before closing her eyes. I sighed but smiled. She has been like that a lot recently. Always wanting me or Chloe's attention. As annoying as it may seem I kind of love it. It just shows that she loves us being around. Feels safe with us. I sat in the little rocking chair Ember was nice enough to get for us as a gift and slowly rocked.
A few minutes went by and I saw Chloe sneak in and quietly got on her knees beside us. "Sorry. Just couldn't help it." She whispered.
I smiled and whispered back. "It's fine."
Chloe laid the side of her head on my shoulder and whispered. "I love you both so much Max."
I quietly cleared my throat trying not to get emotional. "I love you both to."
Finally. The dream I always wanted. Being with Chloe. Having a little family in our own home. After everything I went through that week in October and everything up till now. If I had to do it all again to end up back here I'd do it in a heart beat. It will be hard I know it will. But as long as I have Chloe by my side I know we can over come anything.
And done! Once again thank you all for the support as I wrote this story. The sequel will be about Max and Chloe raising Zoey from being a baby to when she graduates high school. But right now I'll be fully putting my attention to my Life is strange and RWBY crossover. I might add a bonus chapter or two later on. See you in that story or the sequel and Have a nice day :)
