Chapter 22 A little miracle
The ambulance arrives at the hospital and a few nurses quickly came to look what they can do, "get her a bed, she's in labor," the ambulance nurse says, a nurse quickly went to get a bed for Baby, a doctor came to the ambulance, "situation?" He asks, "she's been hit on her head, she's unconscious," the ambulance nurse explains as they pull the stretcher out, the doctor looks at Jenny, "bring her to the emergency OC," he orders some nurses, who nod and push the stretcher to the room, "and her?" The doctor asks, "she's in labor." the ambulance nurse says, the nurse came with a bed, Mr. Castle lays Baby on it.
"Bring her to delivery room 2," the doctor says and the nurse nods, another nurse came to help her pushing the bed, Mr. Castle wants to follow them, "your face doesn't look so good," the doctor says as he looks at Mr. Castle's face, "I'm okay, I need to be with my daughter-in-law, please," he says, "she's getting prepared for the birth, you can go to her soon, I want to look at your face," the doctor says, Mr. Castle nods and sits down, "can I make a phone-call?"
"Of course," the doctor says as he checks on the bruises, "luckily you don't need any stitches, it does need to been cleaned up," he says, Mr. Castle only nods, "can I call first?" He asks, the doctor nods, Mr. Castle walks to the phone and dials Johnny's number, "hello?" Johnny asks, "thank god you're in your cabin," Mr. Castle says, "dad? What's going on? Is Baby alright?" Johnny asks, "no, she's in labor now, something has happened," Mr. Castle says, "spare the details for later, dad, I'm on my way," Johnny says and he wants to lay the horn down, "son, get Billy as well, something has happened to Jen as well," Mr. Castle says, "what happened?" Johnny asks, "I'll explain when you get here, please be fast," Mr. Castle says, "I will, I'll call Jake as well," Johnny says, "alright, see ya."
Mr. Castle ends the call and turns, a nurse came to him, "follow me please," she says and he nods, they went to a doctor's room to get his bruises cleaned before he could go to Baby, Colin and Peter walk inside the hospital with Mrs. Van Dyck, they look around and see Mr. Castle coming out of the room, "how are the girls?" Colin asks, Mr. Castle looks at them without a smile, he looks at Mrs. Van Dyck and sighs, she sees his face and started to get worried, "Jen is in the OC now and Baby is in labor, I need to go to her," he says, the boys nod, "thanks for coming, boys, it shows support," he says and they smile a little, Mr. Castle looks at Mrs. Van Dyck, "you want to keep an eye on them, Clarissa?" He asks, "I will." She says with a smile, he gives her a smile and went away.
Johnny had called Jake about it, he went to Billy and knocks on the door, "Johnny?" Billy asks as he opens the door and sees Johnny's concerned face, "what's the matter?" Billy asks as he let Johnny in, "we need to go to the hospital," Johnny says, "why? Something happened with Baby?" Billy asks as he gets concerned, "she went into labor, something has happened at school, dad called from the hospital," Johnny says, "what happened?" Billy asks and takes his jacket, "I don't know, dad will tell us when we get there, but something has happened to Jen as well, she's in the hospital," Johnny says, Billy got worried now, "let's go," he says and they went outside to Johnny's car, "what are you two up to?"
They look at Penny, who came closer, "we need to go to the hospital, Baby is in labor, will you please tell Max? I can't tell him now, it would take too much time, I need to go," Johnny says and hugs Penny shortly, "sure, I'll tell him, I'll cover for you," she says, "thanks, Pen." Johnny says, Billy gives her a kiss on her cheek, the guys step in and Johnny quickly drives to the hospital, hoping he won't be too late for the birth.
They finally arrived at the hospital and went inside, "there's Johnny," Colin says, Peter looks at Johnny and Billy and they stand up, Clarissa is at the toilet, "Johnny," Peter says, Johnny looks at him curiously, "you know where Baby is?" Johnny asks, "I don't know, but we came to show support," Peter says, Johnny and Billy look at him and nods, "thanks, I appreciate that, but I need to go now." Johnny says and they nod, Johnny walks to the reception desk, Billy follows him.
"I'm here because my fiancée is in labor," Johnny says, the receptionist looks up, "what's her name?" She asks, "Frances Houseman," Johnny answers a little anxious, he wants to be with Baby, "she's in delivery room 2, it's on the third floor at the right," she says, "thanks." Johnny says and the two of them quickly went to the stairs.
They arrive at the door and Johnny wants to open the door, "hold on, who are you?" A nurse asks as she sees them, "is Frances Houseman in this room?" Johnny asks, "yeah, but someone is already with her," the nurse says, "I'm her fiancé, can I please be with her?" Johnny asks, her eyebrows went up, "give me a moment." she says and went inside, Johnny and Billy wait outside.
"Her fiancé has arrived," the nurse says, they look at her, Baby smiles, "let him in," she says, the nurse nods, "I'll be outside, Baby," Mr. Castle says, "okay, keep an eye on news about Jen, please," Baby says, "I will, now," he starts and leans in to give her a kiss on her forehead, "you deliver this miracle, I'm proud of you." He says and Baby only smiles, Mr. Castle walks to the door on the moment Johnny walks inside.
"Dad," Johnny says as he sees his father's face, "son," Mr. Castle says and hugs Johnny tightly, "what happened to your face?" Johnny asks, "I'll explain later, be with your fiancée, she's ready to give birth," Mr. Castle says with a smile, Johnny nods and starts to smile as well, "good luck." He adds and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him, Johnny quickly went to Baby's side.
"I'm so happy you're here," Baby says and takes his hand, he leans in and gives her a kiss, the doctor looks at them with a smile, he has prepared Baby, "let's do this," he says and they look at him, "push when I tell you," He says, Baby nods and puffs a little as a contraction came, "push," the doctor says and Baby did, Johnny holds her hand and watches her face.
Mr. Castle sees Billy and hugs him, "uncle, what happened?" Billy asks worried, he has seen Mr. Castle's face as well, "come, let's sit down, then I can explain," he says, Billy nods and they walk to the waiting area, "there's a party at school, to celebrate the end of the schoolyear and the start of summer holiday," Mr. Castle says, Billy keeps quiet and is only listening to his uncle, "the girls were having fun with Chris, I don't know exactly what happened to Jen," he says with a deep sighs, Billy looks at him, "please, uncle, I need to know," Mr. Castle looks at him, "there are was a bang and a scream, Chris found Jen, laying unconscious on the floor, he called for me and Clarissa called for an ambulance, she's with Peter and Colin."
"Go on," Billy says, being really worried, "Clarissa and I stayed with her, Chris went to look where Baby was, I had told him not to lose her out of his sight," Mr. Castle says and closes his eyes, "I don't know what exactly happened in the hallway before I got there, Colin came to get me and I quickly went to look and I saw that Dave was there," Mr. Castle says, Billy got angry when he heard that name, "Chris had fought with him, I went to stop it but Baby was in so much stress that her water broke," Mr. Castle says, "have you fought with him, uncle?" Billy asks, Mr. Castle looks at Billy's face, he nods after a moment and looks down again, "I never should've done that," he says, "you defended Baby," Billy says, "yeah, but it wasn't good anyway."
"Colin or Peter had called the cops, they came and took Dave with them, they said he was wanted, Chris went with them to explain the whole situation," Mr. Castle says, Billy sighs deeply, "Chris is a great friend," Billy says after a moment, "he is," Mr. Castle says, "I like him, where's Jen now?" Billy asks as he stands up, "she's in the emergency OC now, we need to wait," Mr. Castle says, Billy sits down again, "I hope it's nothing worse, I don't want to lose her," Billy says, Mr. Castle lays his arm around Billy's shoulder, "she'll be fine again, I'm sure."
After what feels like hours, a doctor walks to the waiting room, "is someone here for Jenny Jones?" She asks, Billy quickly stands up and went to her, she looks at him, "I'm her fiancé, how is she?" Billy says, "she's back to conscious, but she's asleep now," she answers, Billy exhales deeply, "the wound on her head wasn't deep, though she has a few stitches, she'll be having a concussion, so she needs rest," the doctor explains, Billy nods as he listens, "can I see her?" Billy asks, "you can, I'll keep her here for a few days, you can stay with her," the doctor says with a smile, "thanks, doc," Billy says and extends his, she shakes his hand, "follow me." Billy nods and follows her to the room where Jenny is laying.
Billy enters the room and went to the bed, he looks at Jenny and sniffs a bit, he sits down and takes her hand, the doctor looks at him, "if you need anything, just ask," she says, Billy looks at her and nods, the doctor went away, Billy looks at Jenny again, "I'm here, Jen, I'll be there for you, I love you," Billy whispers as he gives a kiss on her hand, he looks at her face and sighs, then he feels her squeezing softly and he starts to smile, "sleep, sweetheart, you need it, I'm staying here." He whispers and gives a kiss on her hand again.
Baby yells as soon as she needs to push, Johnny looks at her face and feels terribly useless, "you're so strong, Baby," he whispers, she squeezes his hand so hard that he winces about it, "it hurts so much, my back hurts so much," she whispers as she's panting, "I wish I could do something to take the pain away," he whispers, she turns her head to look at his face, "just stay here with me," she whispers, he tries to smile, "push," the doctor says, Baby looks at the ceiling again and starts to push, "almost there." Baby looks at the doctor.
Johnny brushes her hair out of her face and gives her a kiss on her forehead, "I love you," he whispers, "I love you too," she whispers as she pants, "but it hurts so much," she whispers, "push," the doctor says and Baby did, "the head is out, it won't take long anymore," the doctor says with a smile, Baby only nods as she pants, Johnny gives her a kiss on her hand, "everything will be alright again," he whispers, she looks in his eyes, "soon we'll be holding our little human being in our arms."
"Push," the doctor says and Baby holds her breath and starts to push, she ends her push with a yell, "one more push, and the baby is out," the doctor says, Baby nods while panting, "you're amazing," Johnny whispers, she tries to smile, she loves it that he's being so caring and trying to ease her, "push," the doctor says and Baby did, "he's out." The doctor says and made sure the baby starts to cry, Johnny starts to cry when he heard the sound, Baby looks at him and smiles, she lays her hand on his cheek.
"Come, cut the cord, dad," the doctor says, Johnny stands straight, Baby let his hand go and he went to the doctor, he looks at his son and fell in love, "here," the doctor hands him the scissors, Johnny cuts the cord, the doctor lays the baby on a towel and then did a checkup, "he's complete and looks healthy, come here then you can hold him," the doctor says, Johnny came closer as the doctor lifts the baby up, the doctor shows Johnny how to hold him and Johnny smiles as he looks at his son, Baby is watching him while she's still catching her breath, "I need to you push one last time, then I'll clean you up and can you enjoy your son." The doctor says, Baby only nods while Johnny keeps looking at his son in total awe.
In the meantime, Jake and Marge have arrived at the hospital, Jake asked at the receptionist about Baby and they went to the third floor, Mr. Castle is sipping his coffee a bit as he's waiting for some news, he sees Jake and Marge coming and stands up.
"Hey," he says and Jake looks at him, "what happened to your face?" Jake asks as they shake hands, "long story, not really in the mood to explain now," Mr. Castle says, Jake nods, Marge gets a kiss on her cheek from Mr. Castle, they went to sit down, "any news?" Jake asks, "no, she's still delivering I think, Johnny came in time," Mr. Castle says, "I hope he won't get into trouble with Max," Marge says, "I'll talk to Max, no worries, Marge." Jake says, Marge only smiles.
"I'm happy that Johnny called me," Jake says, "yeah, he told me he would do that so I could be with Baby until he arrived," Mr. Castle says, "I hope nothing bad happened?" Jake asks, the curiosity is taking over as he looks at Mr. Castle's face, "it did, Jen got hit with something on her head at the party, Baby got cornered by Dave, who was drunk, I think that the stress broke her water," Mr. Castle says, "yeah, stress is never good, but why was she at a party?" Jake asks with a stern tone, "she wanted to have a bit of fun, but she wouldn't stay too long, Chris and Jen kept an eye on her, so did I." He says.
Jake sighs and nods, "I'm happy that Baby isn't alone at the school," Jake says, Mr. Castle smiles a little and lays his hand on Jake's shoulder, "she was overdue, it was about time that the baby came," Jake says and the two only nod about it, "how's Jenny?" Marge asks, "she'll be fine, Billy is with her now, she'll be having a concussion, but the wound wasn't too bad," Mr. Castle says and Marge smiles with a nod, "good to hear it's not too bad," he only smiles about it, "you want some coffee?" Mr. Castle asks, "I'm good," Marge says, "me too." Jake says with a smile.
Baby is cleaned up now and sitting comfortable on the bed, the doctor smiles as he had called for a nurse, "I want to keep you at least tonight in the hospital," he says, Baby looks at him and smiles, "okay," Baby says, Johnny smiles as he's still watching his son on his arms, Baby looks at him and smiles, "he's perfect, Baby," Johnny whispers, the doctor smiles, "he's a beautiful baby, I'll let you to enjoy him for now, the nurse will come to get him later," the doctor says, "why?" Johnny asks, "he'll be cleaned and measured," the doctor answers, "thanks, doc," Johnny says and looks at his son again, "you want to me warn someone?" the doctor asks, "my father, and I think Baby's parents have arrived as well." Johnny says, the doctor nods and walks away.
"Can I hold my son as well?" Baby asks, Johnny went to her and carefully lays his son on Baby's arms, "he's perfect, Johnny," Baby whispers as she looks at the little face from her son, "he is, I'm so happy, Baby," Johnny whispers and leans in to give her a kiss, "I love you so much," Baby says, they look at their son again, both smiling happily, "I love you too, and I love our little angel," Johnny whispers as he let his finger caress the little arm a bit, "he's a little Johnny," Baby whispers, Johnny looks at her with his eyebrows up, "you want to name him Johnny?" He asks, "why not? After his father and grandfather," Baby whispers and looks at her son again, "Johnny, but we'll call him junior, I love that," Johnny whispers, "junior." Baby whispers and Johnny kisses her slowly.
Mr. Castle has seen the doctor coming out of the room and he stands up, he walks to the doctor, Jake and Marge quickly follow him, "you're the grandfather?" The doctor asks, "yeah, and these are Baby's parents," Mr. Castle says, the doctor looks at Jake and Marge and smiles, "how did it go?" Jake asks, "everything went very well, no complications," the doctor says, they shake hands with him, "can we go inside?" Marge asks, "sure, but not too long, she needs rest." The doctor says and walks away.
Jake opens the door and walks inside, followed by Mr. Castle and Marge, Baby and Johnny smile as they look up, "Mom, dad, I'm so happy you're here," Baby says, "I wouldn't want to miss seeing the first moments of our grandchild," Jake says as he leans in to give Baby a kiss on her forehead, Mr. Castle did the same, they look at the baby boy, Marge moves closer to give her daughter a kiss as well, "so, what did we got?" She whispers as she looks at the baby as well with a smile, "a grandson," Baby says with a smile, "he's beautiful," Marge says, Jake and Mr. Castle got tears in their eyes, Johnny hugs his father tightly, "I'm proud of you, son," he whispers, Jake hugs Johnny as well, "I'm so happy."
Marge went to hug Johnny as well and then she went back to her daughter, "you need rest, Baby," she whispers, "I'm alright, mom, I just want to enjoy this moment," Baby says, they look at the baby boy again, Johnny smiles lovingly at Baby, "you got a name?" Jake asks with a smile, "yeah, Johnny, we'll call him junior," Johnny says, the two men start to laugh about it, "how traditional," Mr. Castle says as he moves to Baby again to give her a kiss on her cheek, he looks at his grandson, "he's a Castle." He says and smiles.
"How's Jen?" Baby asks, she has given her son to his father, who's standing between Jake and Marge, they're enjoying the moment, Mr. Castle looks at Baby, "she'll be fine again, the wound wasn't too bad, she did got a few stitches, but she's awake again," Mr. Castle says with a little smile, "she'll be having a concussion, and she needs to stay some days, Billy is with her now," he says, "I want to tell Billy the news," Baby says, "I'll find him." Mr. Castle says.
