YES YES YES YES YES! My ginger baby suggestion was taken(: And my name is a suggestion! I like Ava and Grace the best, maybe Ava Grace? It's pretty... I'm really excited to see how Henry reacts! I hope he loves his new sister, but I'll be happy with anything. Great chapter, I loved it! Xx

- It just had to be a ginger baby. Thanks for your review!

I love reading this story. I really like the name Ava, but in the end it's your story. :)

- Thanks. I love the name Ava as well, but some people said it reminds them too much of Alex and the whole Ava spectacle.

Thank you for a great chapter! Hmmm... Maybe Henry has heard something he shouldn´t have about the fact that some mothers die in childbirth?

As for the name... Not Ava, please. Reminds me of Alex and that whole spectacle. Grace maybe? Or Abigail?

- I like that idea a lot. Thanks for reading

Hey hun,

I finally mamaged to read your newest chapter. :D

I felt so sorry for Addie and she's such a great mom, so Henry's behavior hurts her even more.

I liked the ending and really hope that Henry made a progress. I think Henry needs his mommy as much as she needs him. So I really hope he won'tbecome distance again, when the baby is born.

A ginger haired girl ... awww ... this will be sooo cute.

I really like Abigail btw ...

Great chapter! Hope you'll manage to update soon.

Love Mariella

- Thanks for reading. Hope you`ll like the new chapter. And thanks for your vote.

Chapter 29

.

.

Addison`s relationship with Henry has changed to the opposite. He was very protective over his mother and clingy. So when he noticed Addison wincing he run to her immediately.

"Mommy?" He asked frightened.

"Everything`s fine honey. Don`t you worry." She ruffled his hair and kissed the top of his head. "Why don`t you go back and play with your brother and sister?"

"I don`t want to."

"Okay. But I have to hoover now."

He kept watching her for hours and when he heard the front door open, he run to his father immediately.

"What`s wrong with mommy?" He asked and could no longer hold back the tears.

"What do you mean?" Derek got a bit scared. He knew that Addison was having contractions already but still.

"Everything`s fine." Addison put in.

"See, Mommy`ll be just fine. Don`t you be worried baby. She`ll be fine."

"How are you feeling?" He kissed her cheek.

"Okay. But I think it`s time to bring them to bed and then go to the hospital. The contractions are only 5 minutes apart and I don`t want to rist having this baby at home."

"Who`s watching the kids?"
"Sav will stay until we`re back."

"Wait, when we`re back?"

"I won`t stay in the hospital."

"We´ll talk about this later. When will Sav be here?"
"I thought, you could read them a bedtime story and I`ll call Sav and ask to come?"

"Sure." In that moment she grabbed his hands and sqzeezed them tighly while she concentrated on breathing correctly.

Henry trembled with fear tears streaming down his face.

"Would you go and get the other two and I talk to him?" Addison suggested when the contraction was over and she noticed that Henry was scared to death.

He nodded and left them alone.

"Henry honey, I know you`re scared but there`s no need to be scared. This is normal. You know, it hurts to have a baby but it`ll be fine. I`ll be fine and I`ll be back before you know it. And tomorrow, you`ll have a baby sister." She tried to lighten his mood.

He didn´t seem to be convinced but nodded.

Half an hour later, Savvy arrived and Addison and Derek went to the hospital. It took a few more hours until Addison was ready to push. And then another 28 minutes until the baby was born.

"Congratulations. You have a little girl." The midwife told them and placed the new-born in Addison`s arms.

Addison had tears of happiness streaming down her face. "She is so beautiful."

Derek was caressing the baby`s head and the baby gribbed onto one of his fingers, holding it tighly. A big smile covered his face. He was overwhelmed with love towards this little girl.

"She is beautiful." Derek was amazed by this tiny little human he and Addison had created.

"She´s perfect."

About an hour later

"Addison it´s time to move you to your room." A nurse told her.
"Oh, no I`m going home." She quickly replied sitting up to demonstrate that she`s feeling good enough to leave the hospital.
"Hon, it`s 1:30 in the morning. I think it`s better if you stay and get some sleep." Derek told her carefully.
"And when Henry wakes up in the morning and I`m not there, he`ll be even more scared."
"I`ll bring them here first thing in the morning and then we can take you home."

"Fine. I`ll stay here." She eventually gave in.

10 minutes later Addison was in her private room.

"I`ll stay for a little longer." Derek exclaimed and sat down next to Addison. "And you go to sleep." He ordered.

Derek stayed for two more hours watching Abigail sleep before he went back home.

Savvy was sleeping on the couch but heard Derek enter.

"Hey, how are they?" She asked him. "Did everything go well?"
"Everything`s fine. God Sav, we have a little girl and she looks just like Addie." He couldn`t stop smiling. "Addie did great."

"That´s great news. I better go home then or do you need me here in the morning?"

"No, I`ll take them to the hospital and then we`ll take Addie and Abigail home. How was your evening? Did they sleep alright?"
"They were fine. All fast asleep."

"Good and thanks again."
"You`re welcome. I´ll see you soon. I need to see that little girl afterall."

"Yes definitely. Come over whenever you want."
"Night Der and send Addie my best."

"Will do. Night."

To be continued…


So? What do you think?

Abigail-Grace Shepherd is born. I hope you liked the chapter. How do you imagine the kids meeting their new baby sister? Because I`m not completely sure how to write it yet. Will Henry love her or be distant?
Thanks for reading everybody. It means a lot.
