A\N: I'm taking fan fiction license with this as I know its pretty unbelievable.
Baby Ella
At first Gabby wasn't sure why she'd woken up; she didn't need to go to the bathroom and she wasn't in that much pain at first, "Matt!" turned to face her husband and gently hitting his chest, "Matt! Wake up!"
"Gabby," Matt rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He didn't need to ask her any questions, "I'll call Antonio and Laura," He reached for his cell phone.
"Can you help me up first?" Gabby asked as she went into a sitting position and cringes from the pain.
"Of course," Matt jumped out of bed and jogged to her side and helped her up, "Did you want me to help you get changed?"
"No," She shook her head, "Right now I don't care how I look. I just want her out," She rubbed her lower back. She was four days overdue and she'd been in a lot of discomfort and pain over the past few days.
"Right," He went back to calling his brother and sister in-law and as the phone rang he grabbed the hospital bag and searched around for something quikly to change into.
"Matt?" Antonio answered on the second ring, "Is it Gabby?"
"Yeah," Matt nodded.
"We'll be there as quick as we can," He said and then hung up.
"Alright," Matt tossed the phone onto the floor before quickly changing into a pait of jeans and shirt. He turned to look at his wife who was leaning over herself in pain, "Gabby!" Matt walked over to her, "Gabby…"
"Matt…" Gabby reached for his hand, "Matt….we….need…. to….go….." She breathed through contractions.
"We can go as soon as Antonio and Laura get here," Matt rubbed her back, "Here lets go downstairs and wait."
"Matt!" She screamed, "She's coming now!" Gabby was horrified, she'd never had a labour go this fast before. "Matt help me sit down!"
"Right!" Matt nodded and helped her back to the bed, "Gabby…."
"Just…." She breathed out, "Just get some towels and sterilize some scissors and call 911."
"911," Matt caressed her face as sweat came pouring down, "Gabby I've delivered babies before."
"GOOD!" She screamed out, "BECAUSE I NEED TO START PUSHING!" She yelled out as she experienced the worst contraction she'd had yet. She placed her hands on her knees and pushed as hard as she could; she panted at the end of it.
"Mom," Andy knocked on the door, "Dad is Mom okay? I'm not worried," The eight-year-old felt the need to clarify, as if it was babyish to be so worried about his parents, "But Ellie and Jake are."
"You're worried!" Ellie yelled frowning.
"Alright that's enough," Matt opened the door quickly and then closed it again, not wanting the kids to see anything. He realized though that they needed to know what was going on and quite possibly would need to help out, "Your Mom's having your baby sister," He looked at them, "And we don't have time to go to the hospital so she's going to have her here. Andrew go and call 911 and then go outside and ait for your Uncle Antonio and Aunt Laura. Actually give them a call now and tell them that your mother is getting ready to push. Can you do all that without making it a big deal?" He looked at his oldest; he needed to know that he could count on him.
"Yes Sir!" Andrew knew this was serious, "Come on kid," He took Jacob's hand and pulled him to the stairs, "You can help me."
"Ellie you can go and get some towels for me alright," Matt looked at the six year old, "And can you be careful with scissors?"
"I can Daddy! But can I be with Mommy? She's in a lot of pain. Please Daddy?"
Matt wasn't sure he warned his six year old daughter in that room. He didn't know if he believed in exposing children to that. But Ellie had wanted to be a doctor all her life and she was a strong girl, "Fine. But only until Auntie Laura gets here."
"Thank you!" Ellie raced into the room, "Mommy take my hand!" She grabbed Gabby's hand, "Mommy do you need anything?"
"Ellie-" Gabby looked at her husband. She's yelled at him later, "Get me a cold cloth!"
"I'll go!" Ellie jumped up and ran into the ensuite washroom and got two cold cloths, She came back to the bed and climbed on and put one cloth on her mother's forehead, "Is Ella coming soon?" She asked.
"Yeah," Gabby nodded as she closed her eyed and pushed through another contraction, "MATT!" She yelled as loud as she could. She could feel the head and she knew the baby would be coming out soon. "MATT!"
"Yeah," Matt ran back into the room after getting the scissors.
"SHE'S COMING NOW!" She cringed, as she couldn't fight the urge to push.
"NOW?" Matt was momentarily shocked before getting into gear, "Alright," He carefully slid down her sleep shorts and saw what she meant, their daughters head was going in and out, "I can see the head," Matt said as he laid down towels underneath her, "Alright, when you're ready push!"
"I want to see," Ellie crawled to the end of the bed, "Aw Ella's head," She reached out to touch it but Matt pushed her hand away.
"Ellie!" He looked at her sternly, "This is serous!"
"Let her touch it Matt," Gabby told him, "I want to too."
"Alright," Matt did as she asked and released Ellie's hand allowing her to reach out and ouch her baby sister's head.
"Ooh!" Ellie touched it, "It's all slimy!" She pulled her hand back just as Gabby let out another push and even more of the baby came into view. "I helped Mommy!" Ellie smiled proudly.
"Ellie! Be quiet please!" Gabby breathed out in pain as she reached down herself and felt the baby, "Is her shoulder stuck Matt?" She asked, she thought she could feel something causing the baby to be in distress but she wasn't sure.
"A little," Matt gently touched his daughter and put her back in and moved her, Gabby let out another scream of pain. "Just one more push Gabby!" Matt encouraged her, "She's not stuck anymore! You can do it Baby!"
"Yeah Mommy!" Ellie crawled back up to where she was laying and took her awry hand, "Come on Mommy!" She encouraged.
Gabby closed her eyes and barred down preparing herself for another contraction as it came she pushed with everything eh had until she felt the release.
"Oh," Matt breathed out as he gathered up their daughter into his arms. He cleaned her up as best as he could and wrapped her in a blanket and handed her over to Gabby.
"Hi baby," Gabby kissed her forehead, "Ellie do you want to help take my shirt off?"
"Why?" Ellie didn't want to take her eyes off of her new baby sister. She loved her already.
"Because the baby needs skim-to-skin contact," She attempted to explain.
"Gabby!" Laura rushed into the room, "The roads are-" She saw the baby, "Oh Gabby "she's gorgeous," She lowered her voice not wanting to startle her newborn niece "THE EMT's should be here in around fifteen to twenty minutes," She walked into the room.
"Auntie Laura Ella needs skin-to-skin contact with Mommy," Ellie explained proudly, "We need to help her take off her shirt."
"I know," Laura helped Gabby sit up as Ellie took off her shirt; Gabby laid back down and placed Ella on her bare chest.
Ella opened her eyes and looked up at her mother, she reached out and touched her breast and clawed away at it as she kicked her feet.
"She's hungry!" Ellie proclaimed happily, "Mommy she's hungry!"
"I think you're right Ellie," Gabby caressed her newborn daughter's head, "Are you hungry sweetie?" She cooed.
Ella touched Gabby's nipple with her tiny fingers.
"I think that's a yes," Gabby helped adjust her position, it took a few minutes but eventually Ella began to suck on Gabby's nipple.
"Oh she's beautiful Gabby," Matt kissed her on the lips as he watched his daughter eat, "She's so beautiful."
"Come on Ellie, let's go and tell the boys your new baby sister is here. You can tell me all about how you were a great helper," Laura reached out fir her niece's hand.
"All right Auntie Laura," Ellie nodded and left the room wit her aunt.
'Well this will be quite a story to tell her later," Matt said as he kissed his daughter's head and watched as she continued to eat, "She figured she was already late so she decided to make up for lost time," He joked.
"Matt," Gabby smiled as she saw the time for the first time in hours, "It's Valentines Day."
"Well how about that," He grinned, "The best Valentines Day Present ever," He kissed Gabby once more, seeing Ella pull away from Gabby's nipple he said, "I'll burp and change her and dress her and then put her in the bassinet. Then I'll finish cleaning everything up, you must be tired."
"Mommy!" Ellie walked into he room holding onto the EMT's hand, "I told them all about how I helped you!"
"That's great sweetie," Gabby smiled at her.
"Well lets jut have a look at everything," The two EMT's walked over to the bed and one began cleaning up the end up the bed as nest as possible while the other checked over Ella. "Well she seems like a healthy baby. However we'd still like for you to go to the hospital just to be sure."
"We'll stay here with them," Laura told Gabby and Matt.
"Thanks," Gabby said as Matt helped her stand up and walk out of the room.
"Auntie Laura I'm tired," Ellie rubbed her eyes.
"I bet," Laura lifted the six year old into her arms and carried her back to her room.
