"You can do this, Erin." Mary Ellen almost cheered from the foot of the bed as her younger sister got ready to push.
"PAULLLL!"
"I'M OUTSIDE, HONEY!"
Toni looked flustered as she bustled about with wet towels. "Oh goodness, it's gonna be my turn soon."
The sound of a newborn baby filled the room and Paul pushed past Toni and Emma. A little girl was held in Erin's arms and the new parents looked at each other with love. After four years of marriage, they had their first child in their arms. Susan Erin Northridge.
"Oh, Erin, she's gorgeous." Emma said softly before taking Clay from Mary Ellen and Katie from Toni. The family was full of babies recently.
It was now summer of 1949 and Toni was due any day. John Boy had promised to come home with his new girlfriend, Janet, and introduce her to the family. So, when Toni went into labour while visiting at the house, it would have been harsh for him not to have arrived.
"Hey all-" John Boy stopped, grabbing his girlfriend's arm. "Toni, are you in labour?"
"What do you think?" Toni groaned as Jason and Olivia helped her into Ben and Emma's room. "Jason, why the heck did I agree to getting me pregnant?!"
