So it's official the baby is on the way and who knew all Bella needed was to be scared to go into labor huh lol.

Sit back read review and enjoy!

NPOV

After the initial shock wore off I rushed to my mate's side and quickly scooped her up into my arms. After telling Bekah to call Meredith for her to meet us at the house I got Bella in the car and drove like a bat out of hell to our home.

We decided that since Bella was pregnant with a hybrid that it would be better for her to give birth at home instead of the hospital bearing any complications or if we needed help of the supernatural verity.

"Niklaus Mikaelson I swear if you don't slow down I will personally drive a stake through you."

I looked over at my mate shocked and debating on whether or not I should listen and since she was pregnant and currently in labor I slowed a little thinking it wasn't worth missing the birth of my child because I was speeding.

Let's just say the car ride to the house got very interesting because my lovely mate kept snapping at me telling me to speed up or slow down and by the time we got home I wasn't sure what I needed to do.

I quickly got out the car and blurred to the passenger side to carry my mate to the room we had set up months ago for this day.

"Put me down I can walk." Bella all but snapped at me.

So I gently set her on her feet a mess of nerves by this point and held her hand as she started walking towards the house. However when she cried out in pain I quickly scooped her back up and got her quickly to the the room.

Once we made it to the room I hurriedly helped her get undressed and into a dry nightgown and got her on the bed and soon I could hear cars pulling into the driveway letting me know that our family had arrived.

Meredith and Angela quickly rushed into the room and rushed to the bathroom to wash their hands. We figured we may need Angela's assistance with her being a witch and with my blood we were hoping things would work out perfectly.

"So how's our patient doing?" Meredith asked calmly.

"Good although I am starving. Sweetie it was a great surprise but do you think you could have waited until after I ate lunch to scare me?"

I looked at Bella scared to say anything with the way she has been snapping at me since her water broke. "I'm sorry love I will keep that in mind next time."

"Who the hell said there would be a next time?"

I could hear my brother's laughing as clearly they were listening in and I quickly apologized not wanting to anger my mate anymore.

"OK Nik why don't you step out for a minute and get Bella some ice and I'm going to check and see how she is progressing seeing as she hadn't dilated any when I checked her this morning it could take a while."

I walked over and gave Bella a quick peck on the forehead and made my escape before she had another chance to snap at me.

When I walked into the kitchen Charlie was already there waiting with the ice in a pitcher. "How you holding up son?"

"I'm not so sure sir one minute she is fine and the next she is snapping at me and I'm almost scared to say or do something for fear of saying or doing the wrong thing." I said truthfully.

Charlie chuckled, "sounds about like how I was when her mother was in labor with her and to be honest I didn't know if I was coming or going. What I do know is that Bell's loves you like crazy so just be by her side throughout the entire process and continue to take it. It will all be worth it in the end I promise and she will apologize eventually but until be prepared for it to get ugly."

I must have had a look of complete horror on my face because Charlie burst into laughter. I took the pitcher of ice and got a empty glass to take to my mate.

When I made it back to the room Bella was sitting up watching tv and talking to Angela. "So how are things going?" I asked Meredith.

"Well she has started dilating but it could be a while or it could go quickly since this is the first baby of this kind it's hard to tell an exact time frame. Why don't I get the guys to bring in some of the gifts from the baby shower and maybe that will help pass time by because all we can do is wait at this stage in labor?"

I nodded my head, "that sounds like a good idea that's Meredith."

I walked over to Bella and sat with her on the bed and gently took one of her hands in mine happy when she gave me a bright smile.

Bekah and the guys made quick work of getting the gifts inside and bringing them to the room for Bella to open.

"I'm sorry we scared you into labor love so we thought it would be a good idea for you to open some of the gifts from the shower and help pass the time by." I said while kissing the back of Bella's hand.

Bella started opening some of the many gifts while Bekah wrote down the names so Bella could write thank you cards and after a couple of difficult hours of me being blamed for all of her pain Bella's labor started progressing more quickly.

"OK Bella I'm going to check you again to see how far you've dilated and you may be ready to push." Meredith said calmly.

"Meredith if you want to keep your hand I suggest you don't stick it anywhere near my vagina seeing as how I'm feeling a lot of pain and pressure and I can't promise I won't cut it off."

Meredith quickly and smartly moved her hand back and said, "well pressure is good it means that it's time to push but if I don't check you to be sure it could cause more harm then good. Nik why don't you give Bella a bit of your blood not much seeing as I'm not sure if it will heal her but just enough to distract her."

I quickly bit into my hand putting it to my mates lips as Meredith prepared to check her. Once Meredith confirmed that it was indeed time for Bella to push I was told to sit behind Bella so that Meredith and Angela could have the room necessary to help Bella.

To say I was amazed and scared at some of the things coming from my mates mouth is an understatement and I've been alive for centuries. Soon Angela called Bekah in and she blurred in with a mirror in hand and held it up so Bella and I could witness our prince or princess make their grand entrance into the world.

I continued to coach and rub and talk Bella through the pain and finally we both smiled when we saw the beginnings of a head full of blond curly hair and after a few more pushes Bella let out a breath of relief and we both looked into the blue eyes of our handsome baby boy.

We both looked at each other with so much emotion on our faces and so happy. I gently kissed my beautiful mate on her lips as Meredith laid him on Bella's chest, "welcome into the work Shannon Bailey Mikaelson." Bella said kissing him on the head.

I was so happy and I could hear my brothers cheering in the next room as I cried out "it's a boy!"

The cheering suddenly stopped though as Meredith said "uh-oh how did I miss this?"

My heart dropped as I looked into the panic stricken face of Meredith.

So another cliffy I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. What do you think is wrong if you guess correctly I will let you know if you are right or not.
