Chapter 17

A new beginning

Several hours had passed since Sam had gotten Kay to the hospital. Now he sat out side, waiting for his grandchild to be born. Every time Kay screamed in pain, his heart jumped. Jessica waited with him, not speaking only wringing her hands. As for Ivy and Miguel they were with Kay in the birthing room.

Sam saw Dr. Russell getting ready to go back into the birthing room and stopped her. "How's she doing Eve?

"She's doing great Sam." Eve assured him with a smile. "In fact its time to deliver the baby. I'll come get you as soon as he or she is born."

Sam smiled from ear to ear. "Did you hear that Jess?" He was as proud as any grandparent could be. Yes, at first he was disappointed that Kay was pregnant. But things seemed to be going good for her at last. Just as long as the baby was healthy things would remain great.

"I know daddy." Jessica said, smiling just as wide. "I am so excited!'

But her excitement was short lived. For at that moment, Grace, Charity and a man, well no a woman who looked like a man, came around the corner.

"Well, I see my grandchild isn't born yet." Grace observed as they sat down in empty chairs.

Sam had about all he could take. This was supposed to be the happiest day of his daughter's life, and he wasn't going to let his ex wife ruin that for her. As far as he was concerned, she was nothing to Kay.

"It's not your grandchild." Sam said through gritted teeth. "You gave up those rights when you disowned Kay. Let Charity have you a grandchild."

"Listen here buddy." The man woman said "you don't talk to my woman like that!"

Charity was bouncing up and down in her chair. "Ooh are they gonna fight? I wanna see a fight."

"How about this," Jessica said standing up. "I'll fight you. Then as you're lying on the floor crying, you can see me punching you."

"Leave her alone Jessica." Grace said, holding Charity against her. "You can't hurt my baby."

"You've lost it!" Jessica muttered and turned her attention back to her father.

Sam stared at the person before him. "Look, I don't know who you are hell, I don't even know what you are, but you will stay away from my daughters and keep your mouth shut."

Wanda or Wayne as she preferred to be called, was stunned. With nothing else to say, she [he?] sank down in a chair to wait.

"Don't forget Grace. When this proves that Miguel is the father you are out of Harmony."

"Whatever Sam."

Then she turned to Charity. "Do you remember the plan?" She whispered.

But Charity wasn't listening she was having yet another premonition. Her forehead was wrinkled, making her look even more like an alien from outer space, and her eyes were tightly closed.

Jessica knew that look all to well. But did she want to know what the premonition was? Some times, more often than not they came true. She could only hope that it didn't involve her sister or her baby.

"Charity are you having another premonition?" Grace asked, forgetting the plan.

Wanda/Wayne looked uncomfortable. Those damn premonitions were freaky. That was a part of the deal that was not bargained for. Was the love for Grace enough to withstand the perky brat? That girl had to be the most annoying person on the earth. Evil is coming blah blah blah.

Meanwhile in the birthing room.

"Its ok honey," Miguel cooed, kissing Kay on the forehead. "We're almost there."

"What do you mean we?" Kay yelled. "You passed out when I had an epidural. So how can you say we?"

Miguel shrugged. Women could be so emotional. Of course Kay was giving birth, but still he was only trying to help. Rolling his eyes, he continued to hold Kay's hand. Or rather, she continued to crush his hand.

Eve smiled. This was not an unusual scene. Well, no the fainting was not that common but the woman yelling at her man sure was. "Come here Miguel. One last push and your child can be in your arms."

Miguel smiled. He was going to hold his baby in a matter of minutes. He could hardly wait. He positioned himself at Kay's feet to the left of Dr. Russell.

"The baby is crowning." She exclaimed. She moved to the side a little so Miguel could see.

You guessed it. He hit the floor like a sack of potatoes. He didn't say a word, just fainted dead away. Eve tried her best not to laugh as she handed the newborn baby to the nurse.

"Some help he is!" Kay pouted. "Can I see my baby now?"

The nurse finished cleaning the baby ad handed it back to Dr. Russell. She ran her eyes over the healthy baby she held. What a beauty....

"Don't you want to wait till Miguel comes around first?"

Kay nodded. But in reality she didn't. He hadn't been very supportive of her, passing out every few minutes. But she loved him and it was a moment she wanted to share with the love of her life.

Miguel groaned and sat up. "I am so sorry Kay." He said slowly standing up. "Where's our baby?" He joined the woman that he loved at the front of the bed and waited for Dr. Russell to show them their miracle baby.

"Kay, Miguel, Have a look at your new..."

Cliffhanger Ha ha ha! Bet you can't wait to see what the premonition was and what sex the baby is.

Sorry I had to do it.
