The next three months passed without incident. I was now in my ninth month.. And as big as a beached whale. We had everything ready, seeing as the baby would be coming any day now. The Cobras, Paris, Chris, Nick, Gordie, Vern, and Teddy were coming over that day to help us finish the Nursery. I hadn't seen Gordie, Vern or Teddy for awhile, so when they came they would be in for a bit of a shock. I was huge. When they walked in with Chris the three of them just sort of stared.

"I know, I know. My stomach's fat, my arms are fat, I can't see my feet, but I hear they're really fat too." I told them.

"They are..not" Chris said "That's my niece! Right here." He patted my midsection.

"When my Aunt was pregnant with my cousin, she always let me feel her stomach." Gordie told me.

"Its neat isn't it?" I asked him. Teddy looked confused.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"You've never felt a baby in it's womb before Teddy?" he shook his head and I took his hand placing it on my stomach. He looked around like Rich was going to jump out of the closet and kill him.

"I'm not to sure Eyeball wants me feeling all over his wife's stomach." He said.

"Nonsense! Rich doesn't care; he does it all the time. So do the other boys."

"Well, ok, if you sure." He said I glided his hand to the top of my stomach.

"Fell that hard spot right there?" he nodded. "That's her head."

"And you feel that little bump, bump, bump? That's where her heart is."

I glided Teddy's hand farther down and held it there. All of a sudden his eyes got even more huge behind his glasses.

"She kicked. The baby, it kicked my hand!" he exclaimed.

"I know. Isn't it amaze." I stopped because I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. "Oh! Oh, my!"

"What? Whats wrong?" Gordie asked me.

"Nothing's wrong. But I think the baby's coming." I told them.

"AUGHHHHH!!!! THE BABY? TEDDY YOUR FEELING ALL OVER MARTI'S STOMACH PUT HER IN LABOUR!!!!!! AUGHHHHHH!!!!" I can officially say Vern was freaking out. That was also the moment my water broke.

"AUGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! SHE"S LEAKING!!! IT'S A WATER BABY!!!"

"SHUT UP VERN!!!!" Chris, Teddy, and Gordie yelled.

"EYEBALL!" Chris yelled "EYEBALL, ACE YOU GUYS BETTER GET IN HERE!"

Rich, Ace, Paris and the rest of the Cobras came running in.

"What is it?" Ace asked.

"The.. baby's. ..coming.." I panted from the couch.

"THE BABY!!!!" everyone yelled. They helped me to our car.

We got to the hospital fairly quickly and before I knew it there was a doctor standing over me.

"The only people I want in this room are the patient and the father. The rest of you will have to wait in the waiting room." He ushered everyone but Rich out.

"Ok, Mrs. Chambers, I want you to push." Two hours later, he was saying the same thing.

"Come on push, were almost there. Push! Ok, I can see a head! Push!"

It was very painful. Now I knew why my mother was always going on about it.

"Mrs. Chambers, I'm going to ask you to push one more time."

"No I can't! I'll just walk around with this baby inside me forever!"

"Marti, no! It wouldn't be a very attractive look!" Rich told me.

"Ok, one more push. But that's it!"

I pushed as hard as I could. Then I heard the most beautiful sound in the world. A baby crying. My baby. When they handed me the baby, I looked at her.

"So you're the one who's been kicking me."

Everyone came in the room then. I was surprised to see. Gordie, Vern and Teddy were still there, waiting for a turn to hold the baby Rosey. When Chris held her he cooed down at her.

"Hi, Rosey. I'm your Uncle Chris. We've all been waiting for you." That was the happiest moment of my life.
