Chapter 26: Baby

A few months have passed and they are fixing up the bedroom for the baby. They are still unsure what the sex of the baby is. Nikita says she wants a boy because she thinks they'll be easier, than a girl will be. On the other hand Michael and the rest of the adopted children wanted a girl, only because there are already enough boys in the household. They are just lounging around in the living room spending quality time with everyone till something just changed their peaceful day to a panic.

"Michael….." She whispered feeling wetness in her seat.

"Yes?" He replied looking over at her.

"My water broke…" Nikita said looking up at him in fear.

His eyes widen in shock like he his calm switched just flipped on to panic mode of reality. Michael gathers her into his arm then stands up running towards the garage. Balthier just has seen his father run past him with his mother in his arms. Then realized what is happening then rushes to their room gathering a go bag for them both. Bathier soon rushes to his father's side after getting things together putting the go bag in the car.

"Bal, I need to contact Owen and meet us at the hospital. I'll send you the address to the private off the grid hospital. I need you to stay here and wait for us to return. Okay?" Michael ordered.

Bal just nodded, hugging his mother then returning into the house. He stands by the window in the living room watching the black bmw leave the property.

Michael pulls up to the private hospital he known for years when he was inside division. But two years ago the hospital has cut their tides with division with Nikita's help after she defied their orders to burn it to the ground. He parked getting out pulling the bag over his head on his shoulder then he lifts her out of the passenger side, closing the door with his foot moving inside the building.

Once inside he puts her on the hospital bed then the doctor and nurses starts pushing the bed to the labor room. He keeps up with then holding her hand tightly; he can feel squeezing his hand when she has contraction. Once again they get her all settled in the doctor takes peek to see how dilated she is.

"She is ready to start pushing." Dr. Mass said.

"Okay, Nikita, 1...2...3... push and breathe too." The nurse instructed her.

Nikita was breathing and pushing with everything she had. Not only that she was also squeezing and cussing at Michael for making her to go through this. He knows that she didn't mean any of the stuff she was yelling at him about, because he knows, she is going through something very painful that he can't imagine.

She heard the nurse telling her that the baby is almost out encouraging her to do one last big push. Nikita takes in a deep breath and pushes with all her might, crushing Michael's hand with hers. When she finishes with the push she heard a baby crying looking off to the direction to the sound. One nurse is cleaning her up as the other nurse cleans up the baby does a quick diagnose to make sure it's healthy one. The nurse comes back with their baby wrapped up in a pink blanket and handing her off to the father. He takes a hold of her smiling down at her.

"Congratulations! It's a girl! She weighs in at five pounds and seven inches. In a second I'll be moving you all into a room. Then you can have guest in and get some rest before your guest arrive." The nurse said moving the bed to another room with Michael following holding his daughter.

Once they were settled in a room, Michael takes out his phone texts his son giving him the address to hospital and telling him that it's a girl. As soon they both hanged up, Balthier soon gets Owen on the line, and he hears the dial tone.

Owen stretches for minute roaming his hand around looking for his phone. He grabbed a hold of his phone and answers it.

"Hello?" He answered with his sleepy voice.

"Nikita had the baby and Michael wishes you two be present there. I already sent the address to the hospital they are at." Balthier said.

"Hospital? Isn't it dangerous for them to be there when division can get a hold of the check in records?" Owen questioned.

"No it's the hospital; Nikita pulled them out of tight spot from division. Now you both should be out the door and onto the plane and be on your way to them." Bal added and hanging up the phone.

Owen idles his phone then looks over at Alex. He gently shakes her shoulder trying to wake her. Alex stirs from her slumber looking over at him. She rolls over and kisses him; he kisses her back then pulls away.

"We need to get ready to go." He said getting up putting on his pants.

"Go where?" She asked staring blankly at him.

"Nikita already had her baby an hour ago. Balthier called me three minutes ago and Michael requested our presence to be there."

Alex's eyes goes big quickly getting off the bed and bolting to the shower to get freshen up and ready. Owen shakes his head goes to the other bathroom and does the same. Once they are done with all their dilly dallying around them making their way to car and to the hanger of where his private jet is at. Telling his pilot the destination they need to go immediately.

In the hospital room Nikita is breast feeding her daughter after they both woke up from a nap. Michael looks over watches them silently. They all heard the door opening they peer over and see both Owen and Alex are here already.

"OH MY GOD, NIKITA! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!" Alex shirked.

"Michael, didn't think it was possible that beautiful baby coming you too." Owen joked around with him.

"Careful you say because the same thing might happen to you at this rate." Michael smirked looking at Alex.

"What's her name?" Alex asked.

"Riza Samuelle" Michael announced.

"That's a strong name." Alex said.

"That's to go with her strong parents." Owen added smiling at Riza.

"Owen…." Nikita blushed putting down her shirt and handing Riza over to him.

Owen takes a hold over her, supporting her little head with his hand holding her close to his chest. He keeps smiling at her. After an hour of holding her, he passes her onto Alex. Alex does the same of holding her and then passes her back to her father. They all sit in silence watching and smiling at each other. After a while the nurse came in to take Riza to the baby room, Michael stood and followed. He didn't want to lose sight of his baby girl. Back in the room Nikita asked how they were doing and of course Alex and Owen couldn't stop smiling and looking at each other. That brought to attention that everything else would be great as long they don't have to do too many missions in the near future.
