A/N: Hello again, everyone!

My apologies if I made any mistakes but enjoy the chapter!

Get ready for the arrival of Baby Boy Bastien-Reid!

"Okay, mmph…" Élise sighed as she felt another contraction coming and was on her phone. "Thanks. Love. Bye…ahhh!" Another contraction came, causing Élise to make another groan.

In the driver's seat, Reid tried to assure Élise as they were on their way to the hospital. "We're under three minutes and…"

"Ahh…!" Élise cried from another contraction. Leaning her head back against the front car seat, she panted for a few moments before deciding to do her breathing exercises. "Hee-hee-hoo. Hee-hee-hoo. Hee-hee-hoo. Hee-hee-hoo. Hee-hee-hoo…"

Reid praised, "You're doing good. You're doing good, honey…"

"Quiet!" Élise snapped before she continued her breathing techniques.

Reid pressed his lips in a straight line and kept on driving.

Finally, they made it to Georgetown University Hospital. Reid pulled the car neared the hospital entrance. With assistance from Reid and a parking attendant, Élise slowly got out of the car and sat down in a wheelchair. Élise continued her breathing as she was wheeled inside the hospital.

A familiar-looking nurse with warm blonde hair caught their attention as they arrived at the reception desk.

"Ms. Bastien!" Her hazel eyes broadened. "Dr. Reid! It's been far too long."

A mentally tired Élise waved at Nurse Taylor and clutched to her belly. "Hey…ahh!"

Nurse Taylor came from behind the desk and placed her hand on Élise's belly. "Ooh. Let's get you two set up."

Nurse Taylor went around the desk again as they heard a familiar voice.

"Élise! Dr. Reid!" It was Dr. Patterson stepping off the elevator, and she had a sincere smile on her face. "How are you doing?"

Élise panted, trying to joke, "He was supposed to be due next week, but I guess our boy couldn't wait to see me…eeh!"

"Mmmm!"

Dr. Patterson chuckled, "You must be excited that your son wants to see you, dad."

Reid waved his restricted hand back and forth after Élise squeezed it too tightly. "That reason as well, too."

"Let's get you two settled in," Dr. Patterson had the couple follow her to their hospital suite.

Élise sighed and tried to relax her mind and body. "Let's just try and have a nice relaxing experience like we did last year."

Reid and Élise settled in their private suite and set up a private waiting room.

"OOOH!" Élise bellowed as she was in her bed; she felt the sweat in her forehead, hungry and grumpy. "HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN IN LABOR?"

Reid calculated, "Four hours, fifty-seven minutes, and six seconds and counting. Nine seconds…ten seconds…"

"STOP COUNTING!" Élise screamed and slammed her balled-up fists against the bed. "Oh!"

Reid backed up a bit and tightened his mouth.

Dr. Patterson entered the suite and asked, "So, how are we doing?"

"I want this boy out of me!" Élise whined loudly and wiped her eyes. Sniffing, "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

Reid kissed the top of her head, "It's going to be okay…"

Élise grabbed Reid by his neck; Reid yelped in fear. She snared; he didn't blink, "If you get me pregnant again, I'm going to have your mother scratch your eyes out. And then I'm going to take care of you."

Élise released him, and Reid nervously fixed himself up. "We're doing good, doctor."

Dr. Patterson giggled before clearing her throat and prepping Élise's legs up before starting the examination. "For second pregnancies, your labor might go faster this time."

"When do I get to see him?" An impatient Élise asked the doctor.

"Okay." Dr. Patterson finished the examination. "Your dilation had just reached seven centimeters, so there's a chance you'll be seeing him at the stroke of midnight."

"Yay!" Élise cheered and clapped her hands; Dr. Patterson had just left the room. She was talking to her belly. "You here that, little guy? We better see you at midnight."

Reid stroked circles on Élise's palm. "So, is there anything I can do for you, love?"

"Actually, there is," With a loving smile, Élise pulled Reid closer to him. "Get out." She snarled and lowered her eyes.

Reid nervously tugged against his collar and fanned himself, "Did I do something…"

"Please get out and go see if any family members came." Élise politely ordered him, pointing him to the door.

Reid took Élise's hand and kissed it before puckering his lips for her to kiss them back.

With a toothy grin on her face, Élise grabbed his lips, "Now or I'll..."

Reid dashed out of the room to escape Élise's wrath, only to face familiar faces.

"Hey-hey-hey!"

It was Élise's family.

"Hey!"

Arthur and Brenda walked up to him; Brenda gave him a quick hug, "Oh, how are you?"

"I'm still alive, right?" Reid joked; he got a few chuckles.

"That's my little sister," Arthur smiled to himself before gifting Reid with a giant stuffed elephant. "For my nephew."

Reid appreciated his brother-in-law's present for his son. "Aww. Thanks, man." Reid walked up to his parents-in-law. "Hey."

Mr. Micha pulled Reid in for a manly hug. "Spencer! How's my little girl?"

"She's…"

"SPENCER!" Reid closed his eyes tightly and grimaced his face when Élise screamed for him. "GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW, PLEASE!"

Reid pouted his mouth, "She's Élise." He leads the Bastien family to the suite, where they find Élise crying, causing him to rush to her side and comfort her immediately. "Oh, what's wrong?"

Élise wept, "Oh, Spencer. I'm just so tired and so cranky and so miserable."

Reid kissed her head, "It'll be okay. It'll all be over once we see our little boy, okay?"

Élise wiped her red eyes and sniffed. "I know. But I'm so hungry." Her head against the soft pillow. "I want a s'more cracker."

"You can't have anything except ice chips," Reid fed Élise an ice chip and smiled while she grumpily sucked on it. "When this is all over, and when we get home, I'll make you all the s'more graham crackers you want."

Élise darted her eyes at him. "You better. I'm holding you accountable for that."

"Mmm…" Élise had another ice chip fed to her. "How long has it been now?"

Reid estimated in his head, "Six hours, two minutes, and fifteen seconds and counting."

Élise groaned loudly, "Ooh, I swear, this little boy can't come fast enough."

"It'll be fine, Lise," Reid assured her by kissing her head and resting against it. "No matter what…"

Their conversation was unexpectedly interrupted when someone opened the door and burst into the room.

"SPENCER!"

It was Mama Diana Reid, who had a broad smile on her face, and her eyes sparkled.

"Oh, my baby boy…" Her arms spread out when she ran to hug him. "My baby boy…!"

Reid warmly hugged her back. "Mmm. Hi, mom." Their attention turned to William Reid, who meekly entered the room. "Hi, dad."

William smiled sighingly, "Hi, son." They hugged before pulling away, and William asked, "So, how are you feeling?"

Reid exhaled sharply, "Nervous, though this was supposed to be easier the second time around."

William patted his shoulder, assuring, "It's going to be fine, son."

"I know, bu…"

The door swung open.

"SPENCER!" Ethel presented herself when she came into the room before walking to Reid and hugging him. "Hi, nephew." Pulling back, she stroked her fingers through his wavy hair. "Why does this hair of yours have to grow back so quickly?"

Reid chuckled to himself before noticing Gordon walking in. "Uncle Gordon!" Reid quickly approached him and hugged him. "How are you doing?"

"I'm good," answered Gordon as he closed the door behind him.

"Élise asked as she ate another ice chip, "So, where's everyone else?"

Ethel explained, "John stayed behind since Melissa is near the end of her pregnancy and Sabrina wasn't feeling too well. Anna and Nathan couldn't make it since they're in the UK right now before they go to South Korea."

Élise smiled dreamily and reminisced, "Remember when we went to London and South Korea?"

"Yup," Reid remembered. "They were some of the best vacations I ever took. Maybe we can go back in a year or two?"

Élise thought, "That's a good idea."

Élise looked through the sonograms throughout her pregnancy in one section of her unborn son's memory book. Reid walked in and saw Élise looking at the sonograms. They smiled at the first sonogram of their son when he was twelve weeks.

Élise shook her head in disbelief, "I still couldn't believe I was twelve weeks when I found out this little guy was growing inside me."

"Have you ever seen I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant?" asked Reid.

Élise answered, "I've heard of it, but I never watched it."

"See? Those women didn't know they were pregnant until they went into labor. Even Queen Mary I of England were said to have experienced a cryptic pregnancy."

Élise shrugged her shoulders, "True. But still…" She closed the book and gave it to Reid, prompting him to place it on the bedside. Élise began massaging between her nose with her index finger and thumb. "I can't believe we're going through this again."

"Same here," agreed Reid.

Élise caressed his cheeks. "And if you make me have to push out a watermelon again within the next year, I'm gonna kick your derriere in plain French." Élise's joyful smile turned into a snarl, and her eyes flashed.

"Actually, our boy is the size of…" Élise growled; Reid whispered. "I'll just stop talking."

"There we go." Élise nodded her head and had another ice chip.

Now, the big moment was happening. Reid and Élise stripped down to medical scrubs in an operating room with a couple of other doctors and nurses, including Dr. Patterson and Nurse Taylor.

"Ahhh!" Élise screamed as she was pushing for the past five minutes. "No more! Please, no more, doc!"

Reid kissed Élise's temple, "You can do it, Lise."

"You're almost there, Élise," Dr. Patterson encouraged her. "I see his hair. And it's brown. Just one big push."

Élise glared, "When this is all over, I better get a s'more." Huffing and puffing, Élise continued pushing, gripping Reid's hand and wrist, screaming.

Dr. Patterson cheered. "Come on. Just a little bit more…"

"Ahhh!"

Dr. Patterson gasped. "It's your boy!" When Dr. Patterson presented Reid and Élise their newborn son,

Reid and Élise couldn't believe it. "Aw, look at him." Élise was all teary-eyed and fanned herself with her hand before putting it over her mouth. "So handsome."

"He got that from me," joked Reid before kissing Élise's forehead.

Soon, Dr. Patterson held a pair of scissors for the two of them, knowing they would cut their newborn son's umbilical cord. Reid and Élise took the scissors from the doctor, and they cut the cord together.

Reid smiled and cried with tears of joy as their son was being dried and placed on Élise's chest for skin-to-skin contact. He couldn't help but get a picture of it.

Élise closed her eyes for a few moments while Reid watched as the doctors and nurses examined him.

A few more hours have passed; Élise had just finished breastfeeding him and continued skin-to-skin contact with Reid beside her.

"Hello, little buddy," Élise whispered, kissing his little hand. "It's mommy."

"And I'm your daddy," Reid waved. "Mommy and I have been waiting so long for you, little guy." He playfully bopped his nose, making his son coo. "We love you so much."

Mama Diana peaked her head in after knocking on the door three times. "Can we come in?"

"Of course, mom," answered Reid, gesturing her to come in.

Diana ran to her son's side, followed by his father, Ethel, Gordon, and the Bastien family entering the room.

Diana squealed when she got a closer look at her newborn grandson. "Ooh, look at him! He's so precious."

"Hey, little guy," William sniffed.

Ethel walked over to Diana's side and began playing with her newborn grandnephew's short dark locks. "I know." Gasping. "Look at his pretty little brown hair."

Élise tugged Reid closer to him and whispered in his ear, "Get him away from Aunt Ethel."

Reid gently coaxed his son away to Élise's relatives for a few moments. "Let us see this guy." They gathered around him and fussed over him. "Look at you, big guy."

Reid and Élise got their son back just as the door rhythmically knocked on the door. Someone poked their head, and it was Rose.

"Hey!"

Élise tried to perk up. "Hey, Rose."

"May we come in?" asked Rose.

"Of course."

Rose walked in; everyone melted when Séraphine was dressed in pink and blue scrubs.

"Hey-hey, my little nurse," Reid's eyes beamed, scooping her up. "How are we doing?"

"Gad!" babbled Séraphine before she placed next to Élise on the bed, and Reid sat down next to them. Her mouth dropped when her newborn brother was placed in front of her. "Tis 'im?"

Reid chuckled, petting her head, "Yes. This is your little brother."

Séraphine giggled, "Hi, bah!"

Everyone oozed with adoration.

"So, what are you naming this little guy?"

Reid exhaustingly sighed, "We've decided, after some seriously long deliberation, to name this little guy Isaac Dylan."

Diana squealed, "I love that name."

"Awww, I love it, too," William wiped another tear.

Nurse Taylor knocked on the door before coming in. "Hi. How's everyone doing?"

"We're good." Ethel reached into her bag and took out a camera, giving it to Nurse Taylor. "If you may, may you take a few pictures for us, please?"

"Absolutely." Nurse Taylor took the camera; the family stood beside Reid and Élise and adjusted them before she asked them, "Say 'Family'!"

"Family!"
