"You need to push?" Steve question to her as he looked down to her. "We need to get you to the hospital."
Sam shook her head as she clung onto Steve slightly as another contraction began. "There's no time…"
"Let's get her on the mattress…" Danny commented to Steve moving to the other side of Sam. "See what we are actually dealing with."
"See what we are dealing with?!" Sam screeched looking to Danny. "I'm ready to push this kid out Danny that's what we are dealing with!"
Guiding Sam over to the mattress, he helped her down before looking to Danny. "Have you ever delivered a baby before?"
Danny looked to Steve. "No…"
"Let me ring Jade." Steve mumbled grabbing his phone. Moving onto the mattress with Sam he looked to her. "Everything is going to be okay." He told her before he pressed the speakerphone button waiting for Jade to answer, pulling off his vest before holding onto one of Sam's hand as she breathed through another contraction while Danny held the other, pulling his own vest off.
"Hello?" Came Jade's reply when she finally answered.
"Jade it's Steve."
"Have you found her?"
"Yeah…"
"Oh my god is she okay?" Jade quickly asked.
"Jade she's fine but we're in a bit of a predicament."
"What do you mean?"
"She's ready to push." Steve simply told her.
"Oh shit." Jade mumbled. "You need to get her here now…"
"Jade there's no time." Steve told her. "You're going to have to talk us through it."
"How dilated is she? She might have the urge to push but she might not be dilated enough."
"How do I know how dilated she is?"
"You look…"
Steve looked to Danny before looking to the phone. "Excuse me?"
"Steve. Whether you like it or not you're going to have to deliver that baby. Pull down her pants and tell me what you see."
Listening to her Steve nodded a little before he moved to the bottom of the mattress, grabbing Sam's lab coat from the floor he moved it over her thighs. Never in a million years did he think he would be delivering his own child. "Lift your hips up Sam." He told her as he pulled down her trousers and panties before he took a breath and took a look. This was the last thing he ever expected to be doing today.
"Steve are you still there?" Jade asked noticing the silence.
"I'm here…"
"What do you see?"
"The baby's head…"
"As in the top of the head or is the head out?"
"The top…there's a lot of hair there…" He mumbled as he went light headed but quickly snapped out of it. He had to focus. Sam needed him.
"Okay she's crowning. Steve tell Sam on her next contraction that she needs to push as hard as she can to get the baby's head out…"
Steve nodded a little before he looked to Sam who was clinging onto Danny's hand tightly. "Babe I need you to give me a big push on your next contraction, you're nearly there…our baby is nearly here…"
Hearing him Sam looked to him before she nodded a little before looking to Danny. "Sorry if I'm hurting your hand."
Danny looked down to her a smiled. "Don't you worry about my hand. You squeeze as much as you want to. And you know. Feel free to kick Steve in the face."
Sam laughed a little before she began to squeeze Danny's hand as another contraction started and she started to push.
"That's it Sam, push as hard as you can." Steve told her.
Pushing as hard as she could, Sam squeezed Danny's hand hard.
Biting down on his lip as Sam squeezed, Danny threw a glare at Steve. It should be him having his hand squeezed.
"Okay Jade the head's out…" Steve called to the phone choosing to ignore Danny's glare. He had to stay focused.
"Okay tell Sam to take a breath." Jade told him.
Hearing Jade, Sam flopped back on the mattress. It was safe to say that she was not a fan of labour, especially without drugs!
"Steve I want you to gently take a hold of the baby's head."
Steve's eyes widened as he glanced to his phone on the bed beside him. "What? What if I hurt the baby?" He asked as he glanced at the baby.
"You won't." She promised. "On Sam's next contraction, as she pushes I want you to gently pull and guide the baby out. The shoulders can be the hardest part of the delivery so she'll need your help. As soon as the shoulders are out the baby will just slide out. So you know. Don't drop the baby…"
Steve nodded a little before he looked to Sam before glancing to the phone once more. "She looks exhausted Jade…"
"I know, but it is one final push and it's done. The baby will be here. Encourage her to push best you can."
Steve nodded a little before he gave Sam's knee a gentle rub. "One more push babe and it'll be over. Baby will be here."
"I'm too tired…" Sam mumbled feeling her eyes going heavy. She was sweaty and hot and she didn't have any energy.
"I know babe but you need to push. I can't help you unless you push. Just one more."
Sam just nodded a little as she moved up onto her elbows and took a breath.
Moving behind Sam a bit more to support her, Danny smiled down to Sam. "Come on Walker. If you're going to be a McGarrett this has got to be a piece of cake for you."
Sam laughed a little hearing Danny and looked to Steve and nodded a little. "Okay…"
Steve smiled to her before he did what Jade told him and gently moved his hands to the baby's head. He was terrified he'd hurt the baby. As Sam started to push again he nodded, letting the baby slowly move into his hands more. "That's it babe. Keep going." He encouraged as he kept his eyes locked on the little life in the palm of his hands. As the shoulders came out and the rest of the body shortly followed, he scooped up the tiny baby in his hands, tears welling in his eyes as the baby started to cry. He just delivered his own baby. His own son. "It's a boy." He whispered with a grin looking to Sam and Danny.
"Okay Steve put the baby directly onto Sam's chest. Skin to skin." Jade told him hearing the baby cry.
Nodding to himself, he popped the baby gently onto Sam's chest after Danny pulled up her top and smiled to her. "You did it." He told her with a smile as he lent forward and kissed her head. He could see she was exhausted.
"Steve send me your location and I'll get EMS out to you. They'll cut the cord and sort out delivery of the placenta."
"Will do. Thanks Jade. See you soon." Hanging up the phone he quickly sent Jade the address before he then looked to Sam who was staring adoringly at their son. Moving to sit next to her he smiled. "I'm so proud of you."
Managing to tear her eyes from her new born, Sam looked to Steve and smiled tiredly to him. "Wouldn't have been able to do it without you." She looked back to Danny. "Or you. Thanks for letting me borrow your hand."
Danny smiled down to her, still letting her use him as support. "You're welcome. Not every day I watch Steve deliver a baby." He mused before he smiled to the now sleeping baby. "He's beautiful. Congratulations you two."
Steve smiled to him before he then smiled down to Sam and the baby.
"Did someone call for a ride?" Mused a paramedic as he came in and looked to Sam. "Damn Walker you cause nothing but trouble."
Sam smiled tiredly to the paramedic. "You know it Jamie."
Moving over to them, Jamie moved down onto his knees and smiled. "Congratulations." He smiled before opening his bag and popping his gloves on. "Okay then…" He looked to Steve. "Would dad like to cut the cord?"
Steve smiled and nodded. "Sure." Moving down by Jamie he took the scissors off him and cut where Jamie indicated before he happily moved back to Sam and looked to their son. He was a dad. He couldn't believe it. A day that started off a nightmare when he found out Sam had been taken to being the best day and delivering his own son.
"Right Walker, let's get you to hospital." Jamie commented as his colleague came up with a wheelchair. "Get you and baby checked out. You might have to have a few stitches in that eye."
Sam nodded a little to Jamie before keeping her eyes locked on her son. He was so beautiful. So perfect. When she first woke up and felt wet. She thought it was the mattress in general, never did it occur to her that her waters had broken and she was in labour. It was only when her contractions really started to kick in that she realised what the hell was happening and now she was holding her beautiful baby boy. After what had felt like the longest pregnancy ever she now was a mother and she felt nothing but unconditional love for this little boy in her arms. Words couldn't describe how she felt right now. And she couldn't have done it without Steve and Danny. She owed them so much.
Keeping a hold of the baby as Steve scooped her up and popped her in the chair, she couldn't take her eyes off him. He was so beautiful and he was hers. Her beautiful baby boy. He was the perfect present for Christmas.
