Micah blinked a couple of times to let the information sink into his brain, "Your water broke?"

"Yes Micah," said Emily firmly.

"But…But…You're only 38 weeks. You're not due until the 28th," he stammered.

"Well get a grip. It's happening," said Emily bluntly.

"Well we got to get to the hospital then," said Micah as he suddenly realized what was happening and panic started setting in.

"I can drive you guys while Micah rides in the back with you," said Tyra taking over.

"Yeah we can all follow behind," said Will agreeing with Tyra.

"Okay whatever you guys think is best let's just go!" shouted Emily as another contraction hit her. Micah and Emily quickly piled into the back of Tyra's car as everyone else went to their cars.

"Just keep breathing Em, we're almost through this one," coached Micah as he breathed with her.

"Oh no! There's no we involved here!" said Emily through gritted teeth, "I'd like to see you take over!" Micah knew to be quiet then. They arrived at the hospital several minutes later where Micah and Emily went back to the delivery room while everyone else went to the waiting room.

Eight Hours Later…

"Is the epidural working babe?" asked Micah concerned. He hated seeing his wife in this much pain.

"Not really!" Emily shouted.

"Well she's almost here then," Micah nodded not furthering the conversation.

"Okay, here comes another contraction Emily," informed Dr. Jenkins, the attending OB/GYN at Denver Memorial.

"AH! You think I don't know that!?" shouted Emily.

"You really need to push on this one," she said.

"Micah?" Emily asked holding out her hand.

Micah smiled and took her hand, "Push baby push!" he coached.

"It hurts baby!" Emily yelled.

"Keep going Emily," said Dr. Jenkins, "I see her head!"

"One more baby," said Micah as Emily pushed with what little energy she had left. She let out a sigh of relief when she heard an infant crying.

"Happy birthday baby girl!" said Dr. Jenkins as she cleaned her off and handed her to Emily, "9:08 P.M."

Emily gazed at her baby girl and suddenly realized that the pain was all worth it, "Hey there little one," she smiled, "I'm your Mommy."

"And I'm your Daddy," said Micah as he stroked her light brown hair and gazed with pride into her blue eyes.

"Do we have a name?" she asked.

Emily nodded and said, "Welcome to the world Aubrey Joyce Barnes."
