One night, Maggie's phone rang.
"Hello?" Maggie asked.
"Hey it's Reagan." Reagan said.
Maggie sat up, "Hey what's up?"
"Wanna go to dinner tonight?"
"Me and you or me and you and the boys?"
"All of us."
"You do realize I'm 8 months pregnant and ready to go into labor any second now, right?"
"Ok fine. How's pizza and a movie at your place?"
"Sounds fine. I will tell Garrett."
"Ok. How does 30 minutes sound?"
"Sounds good. Text me when you are on your way."
"Ok. I'll see you later."
"Bye."
Maggie hung up her phone and went to her mom's room.
"Mom, Reagan and Hunter are coming over for pizza and a movie." Maggie said.
"She does know that you're 8 months pregnant right?" Juliet asked.
"Yes. That's why we are staying in tonight. I don't want to be away from you when I go into labor."
"Have you had any Braxton-Hicks contractions?"
"A few last night. Does it get worse?
"Yes."
"Damn. How long were you in labor with me?"
"Not long at all. Maybe a few hours."
"How long were you in labor with Aaron?"
"Long time. Labor started early that day before we had him, so 13 hours."
"Oh great. I'm scared mom."
"It's going to be fine. Do you want me in there with you or no?"
"I don't know. I know Garrett will want to be in there, but let me see how I feel."
"Ok. You just think about it."
"Thanks mom."
"You're welcome, sweetie."
Maggie left Juliet's room and went down to the basement and saw Garrett.
"Hey baby." Maggie said.
"Is it go time?" Garrett asked.
"No. Reagan and Hunter are coming over for pizza and a movie."
"What time?"
"She just texted me, so they're on their way over. Can you order pizza for us?"
"Yeah. How are you feeling?"
"Fine. I have these little contractions, but they aren't close together yet."
"When do we head to the hospital?"
"When the contractions are 5-7 minutes apart."
"Ok. Let me order the pizza."
"Ok, thank you love."
"You're welcome."
Maggie went upstairs and grabbed a few bags of popcorn and brought them down to the basement. She got down to the basement and as soon as she shut the door to the basement, the doorbell rang.
"That's them." Maggie said.
"Want me to get them?" Garrett asked.
"Sure. I need to get in some pajamas, I'm exhausted."
"Do you want to reschedule?"
"Garrett I'm just tired. I'll be fine. I promise."
"Ok. I love you."
"Love you too."
Garrett went upstairs and opened the door for Reagan and Hunter.
"Hey guys." Garrett opened the door.
"Hey. Where's Maggie?" Reagan asked.
"She's downstairs getting into some pajamas."
"Is she ok?"
"Yeah. You can go down there."
Reagan left the boys and went downstairs to see Maggie.
"Maggie…" Reagan said.
"Can you go grab my mom?" Maggie asked.
"Everything ok?"
"Just go get her please."
Reagan ran back up the stairs and ran to Juliet's room. She knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mrs. Juliet, Maggie needs you." Reagan said.
"Is she ok?" Juliet asked.
"I don't know. She told me to come get you."
Juliet got up and ran down to the basement.
Garrett saw Juliet run to the basement and followed her.
"Maggie, baby. Where are you?" Juliet asked.
"Bedroom." Maggie said.
Juliet went into the bedroom and shut the door behind her. "What's wrong?"
"Sharp pain and it hasn't gone away in about 10 minutes."
"Do you want to go to the doctor?"
"Do you mind?"
"Of course not. I'll tell dad to get the car ready."
"Ok. Where's Garrett?"
"Right on the other side of the door."
"Bring him in."
Juliet opened the door and let Garrett in.
Garrett walked in the bedroom and sat down next to Maggie, "Everything ok, baby?"
"We are going to the hospital." Maggie said.
"Are you in labor?"
"No, there has been a sharp pain that hasn't gone away for 10 minutes."
"Why didn't you tell me this?"
"I thought it would go away."
"Ok. Just go upstairs and I'll grab the bag for you."
Maggie nodded.
Maggie walked upstairs and sat on the couch.
Shawn came down the hall and saw Maggie.
"Hey, you ok?" Shawn asked.
"Did mom tell you?" Maggie asked.
"Yeah."
Shawn went over to the couch and sat down next to Maggie, "You know, you got this. You're a Spencer. Are you scared?"
"I'm terrified. What if I'm not a good mom? What if she doesn't like me?"
"Maggie, slow down."
"Dad I'm serious."
Garrett heard their conversation and walked upstairs, "Maggie, you're going to be a terrific mom. You have the best mom ever."
Juliet came down the hall, "Ready to go?"
Maggie nodded.
Everyone got up and went into the car and Shawn drove to the hospital.
Reagan and Hunter followed Shawn to the hospital, so they could be there for their best friends.
Shawn got to the hospital and dropped Juliet, Maggie, and Garrett off at the door.
Juliet ran inside and asked for a wheelchair.
The nurse on-call ran outside with a wheelchair and told Maggie to sit down. The nurse walked inside the hospital and took Maggie to a room where Juliet and Garrett joined her.
"What seems to be the problem here?" the nurse asked.
"I'm having my first baby and I have this sharp pain in my stomach and it hasn't gone away in about 20 minutes." Maggie explained.
"When are you due?"
"In about 3 weeks."
"Ok, you could be having this baby tonight or very soon like next day or two."
"Oh God. Can we see if I am?"
"Sure. Can I do the exam in front of these people?"
"Yeah. He's my husband and she's my mom."
"Ok."
The nurse did the exam and said, "Ok, yeah you're water just broke while I was doing the exam."
"Ok." Juliet said.
"You ready, baby?" Garrett asked.
"Well we can't go back now." Maggie said.
"We are just going to get you into labor/delivery." the nurse said.
"Ok."
The nurse wheeled Maggie into a labor/delivery room.
Shawn saw the nurse and Maggie and went up to them.
"Is everything ok?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah, we are having this baby." Maggie said.
"Ok, let me call Emily and tell her to watch Trey."
Maggie nodded.
Shawn went and called Emily and told her to watch Trey.
Maggie got settled in her room around 8 that night.
Hunter and Reagan knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hey guys." Maggie said.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Hunter asked.
"Eh…nervous."
"She'll be here soon."
"God I hope so. I can't wait to meet her."
"Mom, did you put the carseat in?"
"Yeah." Juliet said.
"Ok thank you. We need to get everything ready."
"Babe, everything is ready. We got it ready last month." Garrett said.
Two Hours Later
It was 10 that night and Maggie woke up with contractions 2 minutes apart.
Juliet shot up off the couch and ran to get the doctor.
The doctor followed Juliet and saw Maggie going through another contraction. The doctor did the exam and confirmed that she needed to push.
"Ok Maggie, you're ready to push. Who is going to be in here with you?" the doctor asked.
"Just my husband." Maggie said.
"Are you sure?" Juliet asked.
"Yeah, we got this. We're partners in crime and you know that."
"Ok. I love you so much."
"Love you too, mom."
Juliet left the room and went out into the waiting room.
Shawn looked up and saw Juliet, "Is she here yet?"
"Nope. She kicked me out. Garrett will come out when she's here." Juliet said.
With Garrett and Maggie
"Are you ready baby?" Garrett asked.
"Yeah. Are you?" Maggie asked.
Garrett nodded.
"Ok Maggie, you are ready to push." the doctor said.
"Wait, where's Dr. Case?"
"He is out of town."
"I can't do this without him."
"Yes you can. I'm right beside you." Garrett said.
Maggie smiled.
"Ok, on 3 push." the doctors started. "1,2,3…"
Maggie gave the first push.
"Good, good, good. Just a few more."
7 pushes later, Maggie gave the last push and then she heard the baby cry.
"Congratulations. She's beautiful." the doctor said.
When Maggie heard that first cry she put her head on the pillow and cried.
"Dad, would you like to cut the cord?" the doctor asked.
"Yeah." Garrett said.
Garrett cut the cord where he was told. As soon as it was cut, it was tied and Morgan was wrapped in a blanket with a hat on her head.
"What's her name?" the nurse asked.
"Morgan Juliet Borne." Maggie said.
"Pretty name for a pretty girl."
"Thank you."
The doctor handed Morgan to Garrett and Garrett sat down next to Maggie.
"Look what we did, Maggie." Garrett said.
"She looks just like my mom." Maggie said.
"Want me to go get them?"
"Not yet. Just give me an hour."
"Can I go let them know?"
"Absolutely."
Garrett gave Morgan to Maggie and went out into the waiting room.
Waiting Room
Garrett walked through the doors and rounded the corner with a big smile on his face.
"Guys." Garrett started.
Everyone looked up at Garrett with hopeful eyes.
"I'm a daddy." Garrett said.
Shawn and Juliet got up and went and hugged Garrett.
"What time was she born?" Juliet asked.
"10:45. She is 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and 21 inches long. Mom and baby doing great."
"I need to go see her."
"She told me about an hour, ok?"
"That's fine. How is she feeling?"
"Tired. We are actually going to try and feed her right now. Did you guys use formula?"
"Yes. It's easy. Although breast feeding is better, it was easier for our schedules. You should try it."
"Ok. I'll go talk to her."
"Ok. We love you."
"Love you too."
Garrett went back into the room and walked in.
"Hey babe, do you want to try breastfeeding?" Garrett asked.
"Sure. If she doesn't do it, formula is always there." Maggie said.
The nurse that was in there heard their conversation and butted in, "I can help if you would like."
"Do you mind?" Maggie asked.
"Not at all. I'm sure she's hungry now."
The nurse helped Maggie and Morgan wouldn't latch.
"Ok, I guess it is bottles." Maggie said.
"I have one plus formula in the bag."
"Can I make it?"
"I can. She should have 2-3 ounces, so I am going to give her 2.5 ounces." the nurse said.
Maggie nodded.
"Garrett, baby, go ahead and go get mom for me please." Maggie said.
"Just mom?" Garrett asked.
"Yeah."
Garrett left the room and went out into the waiting room and went up to Juliet.
"Hey Mrs. Juliet, Maggie needs you." Garrett said.
"Is she ok?" Juliet asked.
"Yeah, she wants to talk to you."
"Is she feeding?"
"She wouldn't latch, so we're using bottles."
"Ok, that's what I did for our kids."
Juliet got up and went back into Maggie's room. She knocked on the door and walked in.
Maggie looked up, "Hey momma."
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Juliet asked.
"Tired. She's going to be on bottles which is a lot better for us."
"You guys were on bottles."
"We turned out pretty good."
"Yes, y'all did."
"Wanna hold her?"
"Can I?"
Maggie nodded.
Juliet went up to Maggie and grabbed the baby and sat down in the chair across from Maggie.
"She looks just like you." Juliet mentioned.
"She looks like you. Mom she's so pretty." Maggie said.
"She's sweet. I'm going to go get dad."
"Ok."
Juliet handed Morgan back to Maggie and went out and saw Shawn.
"Baby." Juliet said.
Shawn looked up and looked in Juliet's eyes, "Yes, baby?"
"Want to come see our granddaughter?"
"You know that's right."
Shawn grabbed Juliet's hand and they walked back to Maggie's room with Garrett in tow.
Garrett knocked and walked in.
"Hey baby." Garrett said.
"Hey. Daddy hasn't held his baby girl for a while yet." Maggie said.
"Let your parents hold her first. We have all night and all day to hog her."
"We probably have guests coming up here."
"True."
Maggie looked at Morgan and smiled at Garrett.
"Can I hold her please?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah." Maggie said.
Shawn went over to Maggie and grabbed Morgan from her. He walked back over to the couch and sat down next to Juliet.
"She's a little Jules." Shawn said.
"She is a little Maggie." Juliet said.
"Yes she is. She's the prettiest baby I've ever seen." Garrett pointed out.
Garrett got out his phone and told Shawn and Juliet to scoot in closer together. He took the picture and sent it to Shawn.
Reagan and Hunter walked back to the room and knocked.
"Come in." Maggie said.
Reagan walked in and Hunter followed.
"Hey, you. How are you?" Hunter asked.
"We're good. Where are y'all going?" Maggie asked.
"We have to get up early tomorrow. We'll come by tomorrow after we get done."
"That's fine. Thank you for being here."
"We love you."
"Love you too."
Reagan and Hunter left the room.
Shawn handed Morgan back to Maggie and told Garrett to get in the bed with Maggie. He took a picture of the three of them for the first time.
"Do you want me to stay here tonight to help?" Juliet asked.
"Do you mind?" Maggie asked.
"Of course not. I will have dad run home and grab me some clothes and your computer."
Maggie smiled.
"Garrett do you want to ride with me? Leave the girls alone for a bit?" Shawn offered.
"Baby, are you going to be ok if I go with your dad?" Garrett asked.
"Yeah. I have mom." Maggie answered.
"Ok. I love you."
Garrett went over to Maggie and kissed her and then kissed Morgan's forehead.
"I love my girls." Garrett said.
"We love you too." Maggie said.
Garrett and Shawn left the hospital and went home.
With the Girls
"So what do you think about her?" Juliet asked.
"She's amazing mom. I didn't think that I was going to love her this much. I love her more than anything." Maggie said.
"Even Garrett?"
"Yeah, but don't tell him."
"You have my word."
45 Minutes Later
Shawn and Garrett walked back into the room with clothes and everything they promised.
"Thank you baby." Juliet said.
"Have a good night, baby girl. I love you." Shawn said.
"Thanks daddy. Thanks for being there today." Maggie said.
"Anytime. She's beautiful."
Juliet got up and went over to Shawn and kissed him, "Bye baby. Thank you for being here today."
"You got it. We go through this together." Shawn said.
"Exactly. I love you. Have a good night. Text me when you get home."
"Ok. Bye guys."
"Bye."
Shawn left and went home while Juliet stayed with Garrett and Maggie.
