Lu and Peter walked back into the apartment, he sat her bag down by the front door as Lu walked into the bedroom without saying a word. Peter paused for a few moments before following walking down the hall to their bedroom. He opened the door to see Lu lying on the bed, softly crying. He walked over to her and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Lu, it's okay" He said comforting her
"no it's not" she snapped
"yes it is, lots of women have false alarms, it's nothing to be upset about"
"I know but, those other women aren't doctors" Lu started to cry a little harder
"You think I would know the difference between Braxton Hicks and real labour pains, after all this isn't my first baby."
"Honey, it's been 15 years since you had Marc"
"but, you never forget a pain like that"
Peter wrapped his arms around her and in no time she drifted off to sleep.
A few hours later Lu awoke, feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen. "Peter" she screamed.
Peter bolted straight up in the bed, "Lu, what's wrong?"
"I'm in labour, for real this time" She adds
"okay, calm down, I'll get dressed and then we'll go to the hospital"
"hurry" Lu replies.
Lu and Peter arrive at the hospital about 15 minutes later, they go up to labour and delivery into the same room they were in earlier.
After being there only a few minutes Dana pops through the door, "are we ready this time?" she asks
"yes" Lu said through pain.
"okay, let's check your dilation" Dana said as she put on a pair of gloves.
"deja voo" Dana said to herself.
Dana grabbed a stool as Lu breathed her way through contractions, with Peter's natural influence, Lu had decided to have a natural birth.
Dana pulled the sheet back down over Lu. "congradulations, you're at nine centimeters"
"nine?" Peter questioned
"yes", nine centimeters" Dana repeated again.
"how did I go from false labour to nine centimeters in less than four hours?" Lu asked
"well, I guess you dilated in your sleep" Dana said, giving Lu the only logical answer she could think of.
"okay, I'll buy that" Lu agreed
"I'll go get into some scrubs and you should be ready to deliver when I get back" Dana said as she walked out the door.
"can you believe it?" Lu asked Peter
"what?" Peter asked
"that were going to have our daughter today"
"it's amazing" Peter agreed.
"Peter" Lu gasped through contractions
"yeah?"
"could you call Marc?" she asked
"of course" Peter replied.
Dana quickly returned back to Lu's room, "okay, let me take another look".
"Marc's on his way" Peter said as he hung up the phone.
"great" Lu responded
"ten centimeters" Dana announced.
"I can push now?" Lu desperately asked
"yes" Dana answered
After thirty minutes if yelling and screaming and huffing and puffing, Dana held up a tiny baby girl.
"she's beautiful" Dana said
Lu took a relieving breath, "I can't believe she's here"
"me either" Peter agreed
Lu began to softly cry as Peter cut the baby's cord. Dana wrapped her in a blanket and laid her on Lu's stomach.
"does she have a name?" Dana asked
"Ella" Lu answered
"Ella Riggs" Peter said proudly.
Marc arrived to find his Mother holding the tiny baby. "Hey" Lu said weakly
"hey" Marc responded as he walked towards her, "looks like I missed it".
"the only thing you missed was a whole lot of yelling and screaming" Peter joked.
Marc laughed as he stepped closer to Lu, "may I?" he asked
"of course" Lu said as she handed the baby to him.
"watch her head" Lu responded
"okay, what's her name?" he asked
"Ella" Peter informed him.
"Ella, I like it" Marc said as he held his sister in his arms.
"Marc, honey, why don't you take Ella outside, Lana and the others are waiting" Lu responded.
"alright" Marc said as he took the baby out of the room"
"You did great" Peter said as he kissed Lu on the forehead
"I couldn't have done it without you" She replied
Peter leaned down and lightly kissed Lu on the lips.
"Hey, I got a question for you" Lu said looking up at him
"what's that?" he asked
"will you marry me?"
"Lu" was all he could say
"Peter, I demand an answer" Lu said through giggles.
