*Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter I greatly appreciated them. Thank you.

They rushed to the hospital and Alex got stuck calling Rosalia's husband to let him know that she was in labor. Alex didn't really want to be there she really wanted to go to Mel's party to hang out and have a few drinks but apparently Rosetta wasn't going to allow that to happen. They arrived at the emergency entrance and Alex helped Rosalia out of the car. "I NEED A WHEELCHAIR!" yelled Rosalia.

Alex rolled her eyes and got her a wheelchair and had her sit down. Alex pushed her inside and said, "I don't know if this is a good idea," said Alex.

"Why?"

"What if we get stuck with my ex-boyfriend's dad?"

"Does he deliver babies?"

"No."

"Then don't worry about him. Just get me up to labor and delivery! It hurts so much!" Rosalia let out a loud scream as a contraction passed.

"Do you have to scream?" asked Alex as she pushed her onto the elevator.

"I'm sorry, Alex are you the one that's having a baby?"

"No Thank God." answered Alex.

Rosalia grabbed Alex's shirt and pulled her close to her causing Alex's breasts to be exposed and said, "And don't ever have one! It hurts like hell. You tell Dave you don't want to have a baby."

"Um," said Alex, "can you let go of my shirt? My girls are kind of being exposed."

"Sorry but remember what I said. It hurts!"

"Um. That's okay. That's what epidurals are for. You'll be fine once you get one." Alex said as she adjusted her shirt.

"BUT THIS PAIN IS UNBARABLE!" she screamed. She was having another contraction.

"How far apart are your contractions?" asked Alex.

"They are coming about every minute and a half. And I have amniotic fluid all over my legs."

"Well, I have it all over my jeans and my foot and it's not even mine," said Alex as the elevator doors opened. "It's all so messy," said Alex as she pushed her over to the desk.

"Hi, my name is Rosalia Giatti. I am in labor."

"How far apart are your contractions?"

"They're coming every MINUTE AND A HALF!" yelled Rosalia. "And my water broke. This baby is coming and she's coming now!"

"All right, Mrs. Giatti, please calm down. We're going to take you to a room and then the doctor will come in to check on you."

"DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BABY IS COMING NOW!"

"Mrs. Giatti, I'm sure you still have time," said the nurse as she took the wheelchair from Alex and started pushing it to the room.

"Really? Because it really feels like she's ready to come out now."

"You'll be fine," said the nurse.

Alex rolled her eyes. She didn't understand what it was about that hospital but she hated it with a passion. It was like no one really cared about the patients and were only there for a paycheck. It was frustrating her. Especially when Rosalia was probably right it wouldn't be long before the baby got there. "You'll be okay," said Alex as she took Rosalia's hand. "Just breathe through the pain."

"Alex, you're pretty good about this whole labor thing. Are you sure you're not pregnant?" asked Rosalia as she breathed through another contraction.

"I'm sure," said Alex. "I actually just do some research on labor and delivery. Did you have your bloody show yet?"

"I think I did earlier this morning. I've been having contractions since last night."

"And you didn't tell anyone?" asked Alex.

"I wanted to have my baby shower but right now I'm thinking that was a bad idea because this baby is ready to come."

The nurse wheeled her into the room and helped her out of the wheel chair. She handed her a gown to put on and said, "The doctor will be in shortly."

"Okay," said Rosalia.

"I hate this place," said Alex, "Everyone is so unfriendly around here."

"I know," said Rosalia. "That lady apparently doesn't understand it's not a good idea for her to mess with a pregnant woman that is in labor."

Alex's cell phone started ringing. She pulled out her cell and looked to see that it was Dave calling. She answered the phone, "Hey, Baby. I think I'm going to have to call you back."

Rosalia screamed through a contraction. "What is going on, Alex?"

"I'm at the hospital with Rosalia. She went into labor."

"So why are you there?"

"Because she asked me to come. I think her baby is going to be here in the next hour or two judging by the way she's going. Her water broke already."

"Are you sure it was her water?"

"It's all over my jeans and my foot. I'm pretty sure. I'm never wearing these flip flops or jeans again."

"Well, tell her I said congratulations and call me back when you're done with her."

"Okay. I love you," said Alex.

"I love you too," said Dave. "Bye, baby."

"Bye," she said with a smile and hung up the phone.

"Was it Dave?" asked Rosalia.

"Yep. He said congratulations."

"Tell him I said thanks and I mean it Alex do not let him get you pregnant. The pain is out of control."

"Just relax and breathe through your contractions. You'll be done soon and you'll have your baby in your arms."

"I hope so." She said as she sat down on the bed. Alex helped her up.

"Do you need anything?"

"Yes. To get this baby out of me!"

"I can't help you there. IN fact as soon as Antonio gets here I'm out."

"You're not going to stay in the delivery room with me?"

"Hell no! I am not watching any baby get born even if it is family."

"Alex, please. I want you to stay in here."

"How many people are you allowed in the room?"

"Only 2."

"Your mom and Antonio."

"No, Alex, my mom doesn't want to see me in pain. She already said that. So please stay in here with me," said Rosalia.

"Why?"

"Because you're my favorite cousin. Please stay in here with me."

"I don't feel comfortable. I don't like this kind of stuff," said Alex, "Blood, amniotic fluid, placenta I just can't watch it happen."

"Alex, please! Don't make me do this alone," said Rosalia.

"Fine, Rosalia. I will stay. I'll be right here by your side but if I get sick that's all on you."

"Thank-you so much! You are the best cousin ever!"

"Thanks," said Alex. "I was supposed to go to a party tonight but I guess seeing Rosetta come into this world is more important. I'll just hit the party later."

"I'm sorry that I'm making you miss your party."

"It's okay. Just worry about focusing on having your baby."

The doctor came in the room and checked Rosalia out. "Well, you're about 9 cm dilated. It looks like this baby is ready to get here now. Do you have the feeling to push?"

"Yes," said Rosalia, "but I can't have this baby now. My husband isn't here yet."

"Well, Mrs. Giatti, judging by how far you are I have to say we're not going to be able to wait for him. Your baby is ready to come. We need to get you hooked up to the monitor as soon as possible."

"Okay," said Rosalia. "Alex, it looks like you're going to have to help me through this."

Alex groaned on the inside and said, "All right." She wasn't sure if she would be able to handle it. This kind of stuff usually grossed her out and she was surprised she was still standing after the amniotic fluid incident. "Just remember to breathe."

"Okay," said Rosalia as she smiled. The nurse came in and hooked her up to the monitor. Rosalia's blood pressure was perfect and the baby's heartbeat was beating normally. Everything seemed to be fine with her.

Her mom came in the room and said, "Rosalia, my princess! You're about to be a mommy."

"I know," she said.

"I'll be out in the waiting room because I can't watch my baby in pain. Where's Antonio?"

"He's not here yet. The doctor said we can't wait because Rosetta is ready to come."

"All right. I'll keep trying to call Antonio to get him here," said Cecilia.

"He was far from Manhattan when I called him. He was in upstate New York doing some business deal. He said he would get here as fast as he could but it could take about an hour or two once he gets through the Manhattan traffic," said Alex.

"So he won't be here to see our first baby be born," said Rosalia, "this sucks a lot. I never thought I would have to do this without him. Alex, you better make sure when you have kids Dave is there when you go into labor."

"I'm pretty sure he will be. He's all about having a baby. I'm sure he won't miss it."

"Antonio is excited to be a daddy. He just worked today. And of course it would be the best day for me to have the baby." she said as she started crying.

"Rosalia, hold yourself together," said Alex, "You have to tough this out and bring this baby into this world. I am here and I will be by your side the entire time. I promise I am not going to go anywhere. No matter how sick I may get I will stand here holding your hand. You are not going to do this alone. Okay?"

"Okay," she said.

"I Love you," said Cecilia.

"I love you too, mama. When you come back in here I will have the baby. Pray for me."

"I will. You can do this," said Cecilia.

"Thanks, Mama." Alex was a little envious of how good of a relationship Cecilia and Rosalia had. She always wished her mom and her had that same relationship but everything Alex ever did was wrong. Sylvia was never proud of Alex and sometimes Alex felt her mom hated her. She always felt she would never measure up to the standards her mom had for her and it made her feel really bad.

Cecilia kissed Rosalia's forehead and walked over to the door. Before she left she said, "Alex, it is so sweet of you to stay in here with your little cousin. Thank-you for not making her do this alone. I can't be in here and witness her go through so much pain."

"You're welcome," said Alex, "I wouldn't want her to do this alone because I NEVER want to go through it alone."

"Well, I'm going to go. As soon as she's born I want you to come get me."

"I will," said Alex as Cecilia walked out of the room.

The doctor came in with interns and residents. He put on his gloves and said, "Well, Rosalia. Are you ready?"

"Yes," she said as Alex took her hand. The doctor told her to push and she pushed. As she pushed she squeezed Alex's hand. Alex winced in pain. "I'm sorry," said Rosalia when she stopped pushing.

"It's fine. You're doing good," said Alex.

"She's right, Rosalia. You're doing good," said the doctor. "Okay, I need you to push again." Rosalia pushed and continued squeezing Alex's hand. She would start and stop pushing until she let out a loud scream. "It's okay. You're just crowning. Your baby will be here before you know it," said the doctor.

Meanwhile Dave arrived in New York. He had gotten in trouble for a fist fight that he got into with Booker T. He was given a couple days off to cool down. He didn't know how he was going to tell Alex about it but he knew she was going to be upset. He decided to head straight to the hospital to meet up with Alex to wait with her while Rosalia had the baby. He headed to the hospital after he did everything he had to at the airport. He was planning on telling her on the phone about it but she seemed busy with Rosalia. He walked into the hospital and headed up to labor and delivery. He went to the waiting room to see Alex. He walked in and saw Sylvia and Cecilia sitting down but he didn't see Alex. "Dave, I thought you were in Mexico," said Sylvia.

"Yeah. I was but I need to talk to Alex. Where is she?"

"She's in the room with Rosalia."

"She's in the room while Rosalia gives birth?"

"Yes, Dave, is there a problem with that?"

"No, Mrs. Brooks," He said. "Can I sit and wait with you."

"I guess," she said. "And don't let this whole baby thing give you ideas to have a baby with my daughter. No babies until after you're married. This is what happens when people are married. They have sex and then have babies."

"Okay," said Dave as he took a seat. He sat as far away from Sylvia as he could. He picked up a sports magazine and began to read it.

"You know, Alexandra is going to be upset you're here. She's supposed to go to a party tonight."

"Okay," said Dave, "She is my fiancée I will talk to her when she's free."

"She was my daughter before she was your fiancée," said Sylvia.

"I'm aware of that," he said.

"What did you do? Did you get fired?" asked Sylvia.

"I don't think that's anyone's concern but mine and Alex's. You have to let her grow up sometime."

"Don't take that tone with me David," she said.

"Well, I'm going to read this magazine now. Okay?" he said as he picked up the magazine and covered his face. He stuck his tongue out at her but he would never let her see him do that. She would make it seem like the end of the world if she would.

Back in the delivery room the baby's head was out. "Alex, do you want to see it?" asked the doctor.

"I guess," she said. She wasn't sure if she wanted to look or not but she was curious. She looked anyway and saw the baby's head. "Rosalia, she has a head full of black hair. Definitely your own little Italiano," she said.

"Is she cute?" asked Rosalia.

"Very cute," said Alex with a smile.

"All right, give me one more push and she will be out," said the doctor.

"Come on, Rosalia, you can do it," said Alex.

"Okay," she said. She gave one more push and the baby was out.

"Here she is," said the doctor as he suctioned out her nose and mouth. Her cries filled the room. Rosalia and Alex both started crying. "Do you want to cut the cord?"

Alex answered and said, "I guess."

"Okay," said the nurse as she handed Alex the scissors. They told her where to cut and she cut off the umbilical cord. The nurse took the baby and cleaned her off and weighed her. She wrapped her in a blanket and put a pink cap on her. She walked over and gave her to Rosalia. "6 lbs 4 oz and 19 inches long," she said with a smile. "She's cute."

"Thank-you," said Rosalia as she looked at her baby girl.

"She is very bella," said Alex with a smile. "You did good, Rosalia."

"Thanks. And thanks for being in here with me. You helped me through it. And I'm sorry about everything at the baby shower. We're cousins we should get along better than that."

"It's okay," said Alex. "And she has so much hair too. I think she looks like you. She's cute."

"Thank-you," said Rosalia. "So her name is Rosetta but I don't know what middle name to give her."

"I thought it was Lynn."

"It was but I think you should pick out her middle name. You were the one that was in here with me. I think you should pick it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," said Rosalia.

"Personally, I think you should use your mom's name for her middle name."

"Cecilia?"

"Yes," said Alex.

"Rosetta Cecilia Giatti," said Rosalia.

"Sounds so Italiano," said Alex with a smile.

"I like it. So it's Rosetta Cecilia Giatti. Do you like that?" she asked the baby. "Do you want to hold her?"

"I don't know," said Alex. "I don't really like to hold babies."

"Come on," she said. "You're not going to hurt her. Here," she said handing her to Alex.

"Rosalia, I don't know about this," said Alex as she cradled Rosetta in her arms. She smiled down at the baby she was holding. "I can't believe I watched a baby come into this world. That was amazing," said Alex.

"Forget everything that I said. You definitely want to have a baby. All the pain is made up to you when you're holding the life you created in your arms." There was a knock on the door. "Come in," said Rosalia.

Antonio walked in the room and walked over to the bed and said, "I am so sorry, baby. I should have been here. I am sorry that I missed it."

"It's okay, Antonio. Alex was here to help me. She did good."

"Thank-you, Alex," he said smiling her.

"No problem. Do you want to meet your daughter?"

"Yes," he said walking over to Alex.

"Here she is. Rosetta Cecilia Giatti," said Alex as she handed her to him.

"I thought her middle name was going to be Lynn?" asked Antonio.

"Alex thought it would be better if Cecilia was her middle name. It has a better ring to it."

"Yes it does," said Antonio, "she is beautiful."

"Well, I'm going to go tell everyone in the waiting room that Rosetta is here."

"Thanks, Alex."

"You're welcome," she said before she walked out of the room. She walked into the waiting room and when she walked in she didn't even notice Dave was there. "She's here!"

"Really?" asked Sylvia.

"Yeah. She wasn't in labor very long. Rosetta was ready to come out."

"How much did she weigh?" asked Cecilia.

"6lbs. 4 oz. She has a head full of black hair. She is so cute. It was just amazing to see," said Alex. "And Antonio is here."

"Did he make it in time to see her born?"

"No. He just missed it."

Dave put his magazine down and said, "Alex."

Alex looked at him and said, "Dave, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Mexico until tomorrow."

"I know," he said walking over to her. "it's a long story. We'll talk about it later."

"Okay," she said wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm just glad you're here."

"I'm glad to be here. I missed you," he said as he leaned in and kissed her.

"I missed you too," she said with a smile before she kissed him.

When they pulled away Dave said, "So you watched her have the baby?"

"Yes and it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It was great! One of the best things to see in this world. Despite how I feel about Rosalia I am glad I got to see her daughter come into this world," she said taking his hand. They walked over to sit down. She sat down on his lap and they intertwined their fingers. "So why are you here?"

"I got into a fight, Baby."

"With who?" she asked.

"Booker T. He was running his mouth about me and then we just got into a fight."

"Did you get fired?"

"No. Vince just gave me a couple days off to cool down. I go back on Monday."

"Oh. Okay," said Alex. "Did you beat him up?"

"Hell yeah," he said.

"Good," said Alex. Dave started to touch her leg. "You do know that is the leg that got the amniotic fluid on it right?"

"Um. No," he said as he took his hand off her leg. "So when is it going to be our turn?"

"I already told you, Baby. I need to get that year out of me to party before we try."

"Your mom told me to not get any ideas from this."

"My mom needs to mind her own business. She can't control me forever," said Alex. "You know watching her have the baby wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be."

"It wasn't?"

"Nope," said Alex, "and the baby is so cute! Almost makes me want one now but I'll wait."

Sylvia walked over to them and said, "We're in public. Save that for the privacy of your own home."

"Whatever, Mother," said Alex as she got off of Dave's lap and took a seat next to him. "Better?"

"Alexandra, lose your attitude."

"I don't have one."

"Lose it," she said.

"Whatever. Anyway, Dave, Mel is having this party tonight. Do you want to go?"

"I guess," said Dave. "Does Mel want me there?"

"I don't think she would care."

"Okay then I'll think about it," he said.

"Oh and I'm going with you on Monday even though I'm off."

"Why?"

"Because I want to talk to John."

"Talk to John about what?"

"Mel. She has a thing for him."

"And John will have a thing for her," said Dave.

"Shut up, Asshole," said Alex with a smile as she hit him. "Mel is my best friend. I don't want John to use her for sex and that be it."

"John isn't like that besides I think he will like her. I can definitely see them getting together."

"Me too. If I get John and Mel together. I have to find someone for Randy."

"Good luck with that. Randy doesn't believe in commitment," said Dave. "He just likes living the way he is."

"Okay," said Alex.

Antonio came in the waiting room and said, "If you guys want to come back to see the baby you can."

They all got up and went back to the room to see Rosalia and the baby. When they walked in the room Rosalia was holding the baby. She looked up and smiled. "Everyone I want you to meet Rosetta Cecilia Giatti," she said with a smile.

"She is so beautiful," said Sylvia.

"She looks just like you, Rosalia," said Cecilia. "Can I hold her?"

"Sure," said Rosalia as she handed her to her mother.

"Congratulations," said Dave.

"Thanks," said Rosalia. "I thought you were in Mexico?"

"I was but it's a long story," said Dave.

"Oh."

Cecilia held the baby for a while and then Sylvia held her. After a while Alex said, "Can I hold her again?"

"Sure," said Sylvia as she handed her the baby.

"Thank-you," she said. She showed her to Dave and said, "Look how cute she is."

"She is very cute," said Dave with a smile. He had to admit Alex looked good holding a baby and could tell she was enjoying holding her. He had never seen her so open to babies in the time that they had been together. He figured her seeing the baby come into the world opened her eyes and made her like babies more. "You know, you look good holding a baby," he said with a smile.

"Thanks," she said looking up at him with a smile. "Do you want to hold her?"

"No thanks. I'm good," he said. "You continue holding her. You need your practice for when we have our own."

*A/n: Awww. Alex watched the birth of Rosetta. How sweet. EVen though she didn't want to be there she was nice enough to stay let's just hope Rosalia remembers this for future times. And Dave is in trouble for fighting. That's great. So what did you think? Please review.
