Skipping to October 30th
A lot has happened since that day Sophia found out about Abbie's husband. The men all stood trial for the rape and all were found guilty because they forgot to delete the video. They truly weren't the best criminals on the planet. Sophia was glad she was now free. Will and Sophia decided to take the money and add to it to buy a house. Abbie was now dating her roommate who just happened to be friends with Jay. Everyone was now on baby watch since Sophia was due any day now.
Tossing and turning Sophia couldn't get comfortable. It was now almost midnight and she had yet to fall asleep. Sighing, Sophia got up to use the bathroom like she had been all night. Just as she was about to enter the bathroom Sophia felt something gushing down her legs. Closing her eyes for a second she goes to wake Will up. "Will my water just broke." she says to a half-asleep Will. "That's great babe, the baby is coming." Will mumbles sleepily laying back down for a few seconds before sitting up wide-eyed. "the baby is coming." he says rushing out of bed almost tripping. " we got to get you to the hospital." Will says as he goes to change clothes then helps Sophia change hers. Grabbing the overnight bag they tell blue to be good then head to the hospital. On the way over there Sophia sends a message to everyone.
I just wanted to tell you that I'm on my way to the hospital. Baby Halstead should be here by the end of the day hopefully.
When they get to the hospital Sophia checks in and they get her settled into a room. For the next six hours, Sophia was able to sleep off and on. She decided not to have any pain meds and the contractions were brutal. Will was right by her side though, holding her hand through the contractions while whispering comforting words to her. At one point Will had to get his hand checked out to see if Sophia had broken it causing her to feel bad. When Will came back Sophia started to apologize tearfully. Will told her that she did nothing wrong and that he was ok. The doctor came in to see how far Sophia's labor had progressed. " Well, Sophia it looks like it's time for this little one to make its appearance. Now on the next contraction, I'm going to need you to push ok." the doctor tells her. Feeling a contraction Sophia begins to push holding onto Will's hand. After nearly an hour of pushing the doctor says " alright Sophia just one more big push and it's all over." Sophia takes a deep breath and pushes one last time only to be greeted with the sound of a baby crying. " congratulations, Sophia. " the doctor says handing the baby to the nurse so she can place her on Sophia's chest. When her baby girl is placed on her chest Sophia starts to cry because all she can see in her daughter is Will. From her full head of red hair to the way her face is shaped. Looking up at Will Sophia can see that he is also crying. "She looks just like you. She's a Halstead through and through." Sophia tells him just before he bends down to kiss her. " Dad, would you like to cut the cord?" the nurse asked him. Nodding his head Will takes the scissors and cuts the cord. "Alright, I'm going to take her and get her weight. I'm also going to clean her up a bit." the nurse tells them as she takes baby Halstead to the corner of the room and begins doing as she says before bringing her back to her parents. " Just letting you guys know you have a waiting room full of people waiting to see this little one. " the nurse tells them as she hands the baby back to Sophia. "do you want to go get my parents and your brother and bring them back here so they can meet her." Sophia asks." yeah I will be right back." Will tells her kissing her.
Out in the waiting room, everyone from the firehouse is there, Erin is there with Jay, and all of Wills's co-workers are there waiting patiently for any news on baby Halstead. when they see Will walk out into the waiting room everyone stands up at the same time. "Well," Herrmann asks. " you two want to meet your granddaughter, " Will Asks Herrmann and Cindy. "What about you Jay, you want to meet your niece." the three follow Will back to Sophia's room after Will explained that she was exhausted and just wanted family only for right now. Everyone understood and congratulated Will and left. Erin stayed since Jay was her ride.
Sophia was just staring at her baby girl when Will came back in with her parents and Jay. " let's see this grandchild of mine." Herrmann says. "say hi to grandpa." Sophia says passing the baby to her dad. "Geez, I can tell you this. You do not need a paternity test done. She looks just like Will." Herrmann says as he passes the baby over to his wife." So what's her name." Cindy asks the young couple. "Her name is Lillian Halstead, Lily for short." Will tells them "She really does look like you Will," Cindy tells him as she passes the baby to Jay. " Well lily I hate to tell you this but you have your father's looks." Jay says jokingly before handing Lily back to Will. "Well, we better let you rest sweetie. We'll see you guys later ok." "Yeah I better get going to Erin is waiting for me. Congrats guys she really is a beautiful baby." Now left alone Will goes and sits on the bed with Sophia."I'm glad she's finally here."Sophia say as she leans into Will's side looking down at Lily sleeping peacefully in his arms. "She's perfect just like her mother."
