Kate had been in labor over 15 hours. When they last checked her she was only about 6 centimeters. Seth barely if ever left her side. This was breaking Seth's heart watching his wife in so much pain not really from the contractions as much as the sharp stabbing pain in her back that they were trying to relieve by having her on her side and trying many different positions over the last several hours. Right now they had her laying on her side with Seth massaging her lower back.
"Does that feel any better baby?" Seth asked as he continued to massage her lower back and putting another cool rag on Kate's forehead.
"Yes. It's relieving the sharp pain hmmmm." Kate whimpered in pain as she held tight to the bed rail breathing through another contraction.
"Breathe baby slow deep breathes." Seth coached breathing with her as she continued to breathe and whimper in pain.
"Can I have some ice please?" She asked softly.
"Of course baby." Seth told her giving her some ice as she was chewing on it.
"I'm sorry I am being such a wimp." She said chewing on her ice.
"Listen Kate Lynn you are anything but a wimp. You are one of the strongest women I know You are having our baby!" He said softly rubbing her belly.
"I love you Rollins." Kate said looking up at him.
"I love you too wife." He said kissing her lips softly as he held her hand as they just stared into each others eyes for a few minutes.
"Seth hmm" She said softly. "I … I think I need to push!"
With out even thinking twice Seth hit the call button for the nurse. They had a Nurse named Nina who was beyond amazing with them.
"Hey Kate. How we doing sweetie?" She asked coming into the room washing her hands.
"I feel like I need to push. Ahh." Kate said feeling another contraction.
"I am just gonna have you roll on your back and we'll just take a look and see where we're at alright?" Nina said in her calm sweet voice as she put on some gloves. As Seth helped Kate roll on her back. Nina watched the monitor and waited for her contraction to end before checked her cervix making Kate flinch a little bit. "Guess what?" Nina smiled.
"Please tell me I am 10 centimeters or I am gonna leave." Kate said.
Seth and Nina both chuckled.
"How far do think you are gonna make it darling?" Seth asked with a smirk.
"Hey no one asked for your lip Rollins. I will F5 you." She said sticking her tongue out at Seth.
"Think you can in your current condition?" He joked.
"Hey I know a guy." Kate said.
Nina laughed at the exchange between the married couple.
"Well good news. No one is leaving and no F5's will be needed because you my dear are 10 centimeters full effaced and ready to push." Nina smiled.
"Really?" Kate said a little overwhelmed hearing that.
"Really. I am gonna page Dr. Miller and we are gonna have this baby." Nina smiled.
Kate looked up at Seth as she gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. Nina page Dr. Miller and another nurse to help assist. They began to get everything set up.
"Kate, Seth this is Jane and she is just gonna help us alright?" Nina said introducing Jane. "Dr. Miller is on his way right now and he did want me to kind of sit you up in an up right position to push this is gonna relieve a lot of the pain in your back alright." Nina explained.
Kate nodded as Nina raised the bed up just a bit and Jane took off the end of the bed as they were getting Kate into the most comfortable safest position they could. Nina gave Seth directions on where to stand and how he could help Kate.
"Alright sweetie when you feel that next contraction I want you to push." Nina told her.
When Kate felt that next contraction she started to push.
"Great Kate. That was great." Nina said as she had Kate do this several more times.
"You've got this baby!" Seth said kissing Kate's head.
"Looks like it's time to have this baby!" Dr. Miller said smiling at Kate and Seth as he came into the room getting ready and getting into place. "Alright Kate on that next contraction I want you to give a big big push." He said.
When she felt that next contraction that is just what she did. She started pushing with everything in her. Seth held her hand supporting his wife. Seth had seen some pretty cool things in life but nothing would ever compare to the birth of his daughter. The strength and pure love he was witnessing made him love his wife even more.
"Wonderful Kate." Dr. Miller said as Kate kept pushing.
"You've got this baby she's almost here. Keep pushing." Seth said hanging on to his wife's hand.
After several minutes of pushing.
"I can see her head." Dr. Miller said. "Kate I need you to stop pushing."
"What? Why?" Kate asked freaked out as she looked at Seth.
"Take a few slow deep breathes." Nina encouraged.
"Breathe baby!" Seth said kissing the top of his wife's head.
As Kate did so breathing softly.
"Now Kate on this next contraction I want you to give me a slow strong push." Dr. Miller explained.
Kate looked up at Seth as their eyes locked on one another. Seth didn't need to say anything as he just squeezed her hand as she gave a slow powerful push.
"Heads out." Dr. Miller smiled.
With a few loud grunts Kate gave two more big pushes when she laid her head back on the pillow and the sweetest sound of their baby crying filled the room.
"Happy Birthday little lady." Dr. Miller Said. "She's here Kate you did it." He said cleaning her off a little and placing her on Kate. "Congratulations Dad."
"Oh God! She's here!" Kate said over come with emotions as she was crying and shaking.
Seth was staring at his daughter as he had never witnessed anything so magical and special like that before in his life. He was chocked up with emotion as tears filled his eyes.
"We have a daughter." Seth said chocked up. "I love you so damn much Kate Rollins."
"I love you too. She's really here." Kate said in tears.
Seth kissed her lips softly as they couldn't take their eyes off the precious baby in front of them. Seth stared at his daughter his love for her was indescribably how could you love some one so much you just met.
Kate's body was still shaking a bit.
"Here let me take this little lady and get her all cleaned up." Jane said. As Kate watched them take the baby over to get cleaned up she motioned for Seth to follow the baby.
When Kate whimpered softly and flinched in pain.
"Kate I need you to just take a few deep breathe for me." Dr. Miller said as she was bleeding a little more than he would have liked. As he was massaging her lower abdomen.
"Kate babe?" Seth asked concerned as Kate's face grew a little paler.
"She's here." Kate smiled at Seth.
"Is something wrong?" Seth asked that Dr. Miller said something to Nina.
"Just some extensive bleeding." Dr. Miller said focusing on Kate.
"Does baby girl have a name?" Jane asked.
"Ella." Kate said softly.
"Ella Kate Rollins." Seth said as he noticed Nina putting something in Kate's IV as he was getting more concerned.
"Dr. Miller is everything thing alright?" Seth asked with concern.
"Everything is now. There was just some extensive bleeding but we got that under control and I delivered the placenta. I pushed some IV meds." Dr. Miller said relieved.
When nurse Jane brought Ella back over and handed her to Kate.
"Thank you so much Dr. Miller." Kate said looking at him for a moment then back down at her daughter.
"No need to thank me at all you did all the work." He told her.
"For real Doc. Thanks." Seth said shaking his hand. Then went right back to focusing on Kate and Ella.
"HI my little Ella. You are so loved and so wanted. I love you Seth so much. Thank you." She said looking up at her husband as they both still had happy tears of emotion in their eyes.
"No Thank you Kate. You did this you gave us a little girl." Seth said kissing her lips in a sweet soft but romantic kiss.
"We! We did this. She was created out love!" Kate said as looking down at her daughter who she could already tell had some of Seth's facial features.
A few days later.
Kate and Baby Ella were finally home and just enjoying time the three of them. Dr. Miller had her stay a whole extra day to make sure he had the bleeding under control and to get her seen by a chiropractor because of her back issues as the pregnancy had caused her spine to get a little out of wack.
Kate was sitting on the couch feeding Ella when Seth came in with another thing of flowers.
"Goodness who are those from?" Kate asked.
"Hunter and Stephanie." He chuckled.
"I guess put them there." She pointed trying not to move as Ella was finally latched and eating. "Next to the ones from Shane."
"Well the ones from Vince and WWE are still in the dinning room." Seth said. "Our house looks like a jungle."
"Yeah well at least the one from Hunter and Steph came with a pink bear and a balloon."
"Good point. Well the medical staff got it right. Sending us that eatable arrangement." Seth smiled.
"Dr. Chris knows what's up." Kate smiled looking down at Ella. "It's still hard for me to believe this is real. Tell me this is not a dream."
"It's not a dream baby. She is here all 7 pounds 10 oz of her. Mostly you are here too baby. Everything is perfect." Seth said kissing the top of Ella's head as she looked up at her dad with a look in her eyes. "Did she just give me the stink eye?" He asked.
Kate couldn't help but laugh. "I think so. Say Daddy I am trying to eat here." Kate smiled.
"Hey little lady those were mine before they were yours." Seth chuckled.
"Seth." Kate giggled.
"Just speaking the truth!" He smiled kissing her cheek. "But hey just know you are not dating until you are 35."
Kate just giggled. When there was a knock on the door. Seth went to answer it. It was Kate's parents coming to see them.
"Is Kate and the baby awake?" Lynette asked coming into the house.
"Yeah umm wait here. Kate's just feeding Ella and she might want to cover up." Seth said as he invited his in laws in.
When Kate was finished feeding Ella and started burping her Seth brought Ridge and Lynette into the living room.
"There is my precious grand baby." Lynette said.
"She is here she's got a fully tummy now." Kate said burping her.
"How are you feeling Katie bug?" Ridge asked kissing his daughter's cheek.
"I am on cloud nine right now Dad." Kate smiled.
"Everything is still good?" Ridge asked.
"Dad everything is great. I saw the chiropractor and he got my spine in place. I will see him in another week." Kate explained.
"That is so great to hear Katie. You and that little angel are truly a miracle." Ridge said looking around at the house full of flowers and balloons. "Are you running a flower shop around here?"
"It seems like it doesn't it. So many gifts." Seth chuckled. "She is already loved by so many for sure."
"Can I hold her?" Lynnette asked reaching for her.
"Can you wash your hands first?" Seth asked his mother in law.
"Of course." Ridge said as they went into the down stairs bathroom to wash their hands.
"Better?" Lynnette said coming out drying her hands.
"Thanks mom. We just want to cut down on any germs." Kate said hesitating but handing the baby to her mom.
"She looks just like you Katie." Lynnette told her looking down at the sleeping baby in her arms.
"I don't see it. I think she has more of Seth's facial features defiantly his nose." Kate smiled.
"Maybe." She said.
Seth sat on the couch with his arm around his wife as Ridge sat in the new recliner rocking chair Seth had surprised Kate with in the living room as Lynnette was sitting near him. They were just making small talk.
"So when do you head back to work Seth?" Ridge asked Seth.
"Monday. I have to be at Raw every week but I did get the house show loop off for the next several weeks so for now I am only gone one day and night a week. I leave first thing Monday Morning and take the red eye out every Monday night." Seth explained.
"That has to be rough on you son." Ridge said. "No way the boss lets you have Mondays off."
"Sadly no. I have to be there for TV." Seth told his father in law.
"Well at least it's only one day a week for awhile." He said as Seth nodded in agreement as Seth rubbed Kate's shoulder softly.
"What about you Katie bug how long did the boss give you off?" Ridge asked.
"I am taking the full 12 weeks. Just to make sure when I do go back I wont be on restrictions and can go back to normal." Kate told her father as he needed.
"That will be great for you to be home for the full 3 months with Ella that will be great bonding time." He said.
"Kate Lynn you're going back to work full time?" Her mother questioned.
"Yes I will be doing the Friday to Monday. As of now I wont be needed on Tuesdays any more so I can travel home with Seth." Kate explained.
"Who is gonna watch my granddaughter? It's not like you can just put her in any ol' day care." Lynnette said.
"Mom we know that and for the first few months we are back to work Holly is gonna say here and watch her for his." Kate smiled so grateful that her mother in law was willing to come in and watch her.
"I guess I just assumed you wouldn't be going to back to work." Lynnette admitted.
"Why not?" Kate asked.
"Well Katie bug I mean just with everything." She said.
"Everything what Mom? I mean do you think I shouldn't go back to work?" Kate asked now second guessing if she should or not.
"Nothing." She said.
When they heard the front door open.
"Hello Hello?" Holly said.
"Hey Mom in here." Seth called to her.
As they heard Holly in the kitchen for a few minutes before she came in.
"I brought you over some home made dinner." Holly smiled greeting Seth and Kate with hugs and kisses.
"Thanks Mom." Seth said.
"Thank you so much but you really didn't have to do that." Kate said.
"Nonsense you need to be resting and just enjoying every minute with this little Princess." Holly said as Ridge motion to Holly as they changed places and she sat in the comfy chair to hold Ella.
Several Hours Later.
The house was quiet. Holly headed home as Kate's parents headed back to the hotel as they were heading home in the morning. Kate had put in a load of laundry and then went to go heat up the dinner Holly had brought them over. Seth was playing X box as Ella was sleeping in her bassinet beside him. When his phone started buzzing on the coffee table. He was gonna ignore it but he saw it was the coffee shop.
"Hello Rollins?" He said.
"Hi Mr. Rollins? It's Molly I was told to umm call you if that black ford car dove by. It's been driving around the block the last half hour. I just thought you'd want to know." Molly said.
"Damn it! Thanks Molly. I'll be right there." Seth growled hanging up the phone.
"Some thing wrong lover?" Kate asked. "Dinner should ready in about half hour."
" I have to run to the coffee shop real quick babe." He said getting up grabbing his wallet and keys.
"Want me and the baby to go with you?" Kate asked.
"No we just got her down. I will be real quick promise." Seth said kissing her softly.
"You sure?" Kate asked again deepening the kiss.
As he growled into the kiss. "Yeah."
Seth headed out and was gone about 10 minutes as Kate switched the laundry over and started folding some more of Ella's clothes glancing over at the precious little baby still over whelmed at this being her new amazing reality. When there was a knock on the door. Kate didn't think anything of it because they had been getting packages dropped off randomly the last few days. She slowly got up still a little swore from having a baby when she opened the door.
"Trent." She said rolling her eyes. "What are you doing here?" She asked seeing the bag from the baby shower in his hand.
"Can we talk." He asked her.
"We have nothing to talk about." Kate told him going to shut the door as he stopped her.
"Please. Can I come in?" Trent asked.
"No I'm sorry Trent. The baby is sleeping right now." Kate said.
"Can .. Can I please see her Katie?" Trent asked softly.
"I am sorry Trent. She is sleeping and Seth isn't home right now." Kate explained.
"I know." He said letting it slip.
"Wait how do you know?" Kate questioned.
"I umm I didn't see his car." Trent said with hesitation. "I am glad you're still here sweet pea. I was so worried about you and the toll being pregnant would take on you. I should have known you'd kick ass at this too and survive. You are so damn strong." He said moving closer to her and putting his hand on her face. He leaned into kiss her.
When out of no where Trent was on the ground bleeding. It took a second for Kate to register what had happened as Seth and punched Trent in the face and then attacked him.
"Get the hell away from my wife!" Seth growled.
"Get off me asshole." Trent yelled back as Seth got in several good punches before Trent landed a right hook to Seth's face.
"Seth!" Kate said going to help him. Kate was getting out her phone.
"I am calling the police. Trent you have to stop this." She said getting out her phone.
"You hit little a little bitch." Seth said rubbing his jaw.
Kate called the police. After they talked to the police it was a back and forth conversation since Seth did attack Trent first. The police just advised that he leave town and no more trespassing or they would arrest him next time.
That night Seth held Kate close to him as their daughter slept in her bassinet close to their bed.
Seth didn't know what was going on with Trent but he was damn sure not gonna let anything happen to his wife and new daughter.
