Panic
The hospital was long and white and bustling with activity when Ray and Liz brought Jane in. A doctor with indie-boy spiky brown hair and big bright blue eyes wearing an open doctor's coat, jeans and ratty sneakers, who looked amazingly like Elijah Wood came up and immediately took control.
"How far along is she?"
He asked as he took her temperature.
"Um, she's 8 ½ months so far"
Liz informed him and looked down at Jane who didn't look exactly happy with the situation at all.
"Alright Mrs.Alden, you're friend will have to wait in the lobby, but if you'd like, you're husband can come right in"
Jane sat up like a bullet.
"Wait he is not my husband. Lizzie call Eddie"
Liz nodded and watched as Dr.Elder wheeled Jane away as 2 nurses scrubbed in. Liz sat next to Ray on the hard plastic chairs and pulled out her cell to call Eddie. When she put her phone away, she was reduced to trying to have a conversation with Ray.
"How do you think Jane's doing?"
He asked when he caught Liz's glance.
"You don't have the right to ask"
Ray rolled his pale blue eyes and sighed.
"I didn't think that Jane would have such a big deal with-"
"No Ray. The deal is you didn't think. Or maybe you do only you 'think' with your dick"
Ray was about to respond with harsh and bitter words, which were on the edge of his cheating tounge, until Eddie burst through the door. His hair was mussed; eyes wide and face a little flushed, and Liz decided he never looked sweeter.
"Where is she?"
Eddie asked franticly, hardly paying attention to Ray. Liz smiled kindly and took Eddie's arms to sooth him. The doctor who identified himself as Dr.Trevor Sullivan came from behind the doors, sweat was already beading on his forehead, but there was a happy satisfied gleam in his eyes.
"This must be the husband then"
He said as he shook hands with Eddie.
"Yeah. I'm Eddie Alden. Is she alright?"
Dr.Sullivan nodded and smiled.
"Yes, your wife is fine. She's doing wonderful. Nurse Mary is tending to her right now. After the baby is born she'll been experiencing some bruising and irritability, but that's do be expected after passing some withering thing the size of a watermelon through that little hole-"
At this, Liz interrupted.
"Right. How much longer do you think it'll be till the baby is born?"
Dr.Sullivan cast looks between Eddie, who was looking worried and frazzled. And to Ray who looked like he couldn't be more uncomfortable if he were a plump pig being lead to the slaughterhouse.
"Probably not much longer. Which means I should probably really be getting back"
But before he left, he looked again at Eddie with an approving gleam in his undeniably beautiful eyes. An hour, 2 hours later, who knew? They took turns sitting uncomfortably in the stiff chairs and pacing the tangerine carpet until a path was tread into it.
Not long after, a very Irish nurse with wild curly fiery blonde hair and storm green eyes ventured out with a smile on her full lips. She introduced herself as Mary O'Shea and affectionately shook all their hands. She turned to Eddie and nearly engulfed him in a hug.
"You have a beautiful baby girl. I don't get paid to say that. She is truly one of the most gorgeous babies I've ever seen"
Eddie grinned his very special grin and rushed into the room where they had wheeled Jane. When he saw her, her dark hair was damp, but her doe brown eyes were bright with love and amazement.
"Eddie, meet our daughter Desi Marie" Eddie reached out his arms and Jane carefully placed the small bundle that was wrapped in marshmallow pink cotton in his arms. His eyes were wide and Jane could swear she saw tears begin to brim in them.
"Welcome to the world, Desi Marie Alden"
With a watery sigh that Eddie would tell you is from stress, he leaned over and kissed Jane, holding their daughter between them.
