It is always good to hear that your baby is healthy. Their daughter was strong and with the doctor telling them she'll see them on the scheduled day had Helga taking in several breaths. She'll be here soon. Arnold hovered around her and while she didn't mind his company, she did chew him out when she became uncomfortable again. Her bear attitude was heavier now then ever before.

The day of, Helga wearily made her way downstairs with him guiding her. They only paused long enough for her to kiss him. "We'll be meeting her soon."

Arnold grinned as he placed another kiss on her. He meets a unique, beautiful woman, falls in love, eventually dates her, and now here they were. She was making his dreams come true. There were so many days he would wake up and look beside him just to study her. It always astounded him. Even with that gaping scar on her, she was so beautiful.

Helping her into the van, Arnold ran off to the other side so he could secure her belt. Starting the vehicle up, they soon were on their way. There was the light sound from the radio along with the sound of them driving. Hearing her hum he recognized the song instantly: Dandelion. With her eyes meeting his, Arnold's heart pounded.

Getting inside the hospital and doing all that was needed to do, Helga laid there as her nerves increased. "Will you be in there with me?"

"I asked if I could, remember? I'm allowed just as long as I don't interfere." He replied gently as their doctor came in to greet them. She explained what will happen and what to expect. Arnold listened to her, as did Helga.

Hearing the nurse say it's time, Helga squeezed Arnold's hand. "I love you."

"I love you too. I'll be in there with you. Just know it." Arnold assured her.

Nodding her head, she was soon wheeled out of there. For Arnold he followed the doctor as his stomach jumped.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A lot of them were now in the waiting room. Bob tried to push the memory away of the smells in the air. Miriam couldn't believe her own baby was having a baby of her own. Stella grasped Miles hand as the thought of Arnold's own birth. Lanie, in one of her rare times of being up early was there sitting beside Brainy. Brainy already had all his patients re-scheduled for today. Gerald and Phoebe wanted to come down badly but their own jobs wouldn't allow it. Harold was the same story as Gerald and Phoebe while Sheena was down there for a little while before answering a page.

"I didn't want to go and perform any surgeries myself. Imagine accidently turning everyone into the Joker from Batman? I'd get my license pulled." Curly blurted out.

"Just as long as you don't run around naked to ease the tension then I'm pretty cool." Brainy told him.

"Yeah, don't do that." Bob grumbled. "I'm not into your type of early Christmas decoration."

Everyone chuckled at that as Lanie started singing. "Jingle balls, jingle balls, jingle them all the way. Oh what fun it is to show this pole all through out the day."

More laughter chimed out as Curly stood up happily. "Mind if I steal that this Christmas, Lanie?"

"Fine, just don't show their child your pole don't want to stunt the poor kid for life."

Miriam looked around the waiting room wanting to pass the time. "Do you want kids one day, Curly?"

Curly turned his head to look at her. "I do, but June is at that age where she deems it will be difficult. She wouldn't mind trying adoption."

"Adoption is good. What about you Brainy?"

Brainy met Lanie's eyes. "I would like kids one day. My own or adoption."

Lanie squirmed just wishing to not have the question asked of her, but felt there was no escape when Miriam asked her. "Adoption all the way for me."

"Oh? Why not?" Stella inquired as thoughts of more babies entering the world sounded great.

"After 7 miscarriages I have been deemed... Well my body has been. I can get pregnant, but my body rejects it. It's sad, but I always got it in my head to want to adopt when I was a young kid." Lanie answered as she looked away.

"I'm sorry sweetheart. Adoption is very noble."

"Yeah I know. Those kids need love too, and blinders just in case they see Curly streak across the heavens." Lanie added quickly winking in Curly's direction.

"Hey! I have a beautiful body. No girl has complained about it. Want me to prove it, I will." Curly argued before jumping when he felt a pair of arms encircle him. "Oh crap!" Pulling away he looked directly at Steven. "You! You've seen me enough that way."

Sitting down on the other side of Lanie, Steven grinned at him playfully. "True, but I believe Arnold's body is better than yours."

"Well in the terms of his pole dancing compared to just running around naked, yeah it has to be Arnold. Hands down." Brainy added. "Arnold when drunk was daring that way. Takes more courage than running around all willy nilly."

"Great choice of words there, Brainy." Lanie chuckled. "Hey Steven, I hope you didn't just run from the airport."

"Hey cutie and yes. I couldn't wait to get here." Steven said. "Hey everyone. Nice to see you again Bob and Miriam."

"Hey kiddo." Bob greeted him as Miriam seemed to just blush.

Looking back to Lanie, Steven whispered in her ear. "Want to have a child of our own?"

"You don't give up, do you?" Lanie was more stating it then asking it while Brainy gripped the chair hard.

"Why should I when you are very adorable."

Her eyes went wide as she looked to Brainy just clenching his jaw. She wanted to talk but stopped when she heard the sound of a baby. "Saved by the baby." She whispered as everyone else directed their attention towards the doors.

"Do you think that is their baby, Miles?" Stella moved forward as if ready to dash in there to see her grandchild.

Kissing her temple, Miles smiled at her excitement. "I hope so. I know I can't wait to meet her either."

"Just in time if that is the case." Bob looked once more at Curly. "Seriously kid, don't want to see it at all."

Steven looked past Brainy to speak to him. "Remember in college where Arnold got all drunk and he began to dance while this one here is running around screaming?"

Brainy huffed out some laughter as he looked over at the parents. "We found this cardboard and began writing numbers on it as both of them were doing their thing. Steven, myself, and most of the other guys were scoring them on creativity."

"And I'm certain that someone got video of it too." Miles supposed.

"You are correct, Miles. Me." Steven rose his hand up.

Miriam shook her head. "Don't want to see my son in law in the buff."

"I think of him like a brother myself." Sheena told them as she came running back in. "What did I miss?"

"Oh nothing much dear. It is just the usual thing when it comes to our Curly here." Stella answered.

"Also we are hoping that the baby we heard is the newest bundle of joy."

Hearing the door open, Arnold emerged with a huge smile on his face. "They are both doing great. I'm a dad."

Getting up everyone went to him to personally congratulate him. "When do we get to see her? Well both of them." Sheena inquired as she tried to look past him.

"Helga needs to rest and as for the baby they are going to clean her up more before even we are ready to hold her. We did get Helga up to walk around since it is good for the mother to do that after a cesarean. Helga is very tired right now." Arnold felt his mind was cloudy as he spoke. He has a family of his own and as he thought about everything it felt his ability to explain anything right now was lazy.

Stepping close to her son, Stella hugged him. "Congratulations. You both will be wonderful parents."

"You are going to spoil her aren't you?" Miles figured.

"More then likely." Looking to Steven, Arnold shook his hand. "Hey, nice that you made it."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world. You know when you guys are ready to do so I can take a nice family shot of you guys. Free of charge of course." Steven offered happily.

"Helga would love it."

Arnold felt complete love as his parents and Helga's parents offered him parenting advice. It was a natural course of events before he told him that he's going to head back again since he wanted to deliver the news.

Bob watched him move past the doors. "It is strange to say this, but now I'm glad I got hit by that car." Miriam looked at him in shock. "I know what you are thinking about, Miriam, but think about it, if that didn't happen our daughter wouldn't of met him and she would still be unhappy."

Hugging him, Miriam smiled at her husband. "I still prefer to think he magically appeared in our lives." Looks to Miles and Stella. "Thanks for bringing to life."

"Thanks for bringing Helga into our sons life. Our son loves bragging about her." Miles looked at the other set of grandparents in perfect sync right now.

"Helga is an official MILF."

Everyone looked at Curly at the same time finding a bit tasteless he said that in front of Helga and Arnold's parents.

"0.01 on the crass timing." Brainy said as he went over back to Lanie's side. "Perhaps we can all head to the maternity ward. Maybe we'll get a new shot of the newest Shortman."

With everyone agreeing to that, they all left the waiting room knowing that Arnold will be throughly busy.

Two hours later, Arnold was next to Helga's bedside unable to quit looking at her as she slept. She was completely passed out right now. Looking at where he'll be sleeping for tonight, Arnold stood up to kiss her forehead before leaving her room temporarily. He wandered down the hallway greeting the other hospital workers as he passed. He received congratulations making him swell with pride before reaching the maternity ward. He wanted to wait to see her with Helga, but his curiosity knew no bounds at times when he looked through the window to see a baby in pink with the name "Shortman" on its placard.

"I'll be there for you everyday and night." He swore. "Thank you for coming into our lives."

I'm splitting this chapter up. You'll find out the name of our bundle of joy next chapter. I will not get into the whole procedure but regional anesthesia is involved and they did make me walk after. It was a pain on my pelvis quite honestly. I hope you enjoyed at least. I hope everyone had a great Halloween.
