Chapter 23 - 3 Months
Annie was there in less then 10 minutes, but it seemed like a lifetime. She and Bling ran through the door, followed by Zack. Annie went to Max and Logan to look her over, unwilling to believe that she was in labor, she still had another 6 months to go!
"Hey Max." Zack said coming up behind Logan, who was standing next to Max holding her hand.
"You look awfully calm, Zack." Logan said.
"Ya, why should I be upset?" Zack asked.
"Because she's in labor after only 3 months." Logan hissed.
"X-5's only carry for 3 and ½ months maximum." Logan stared at Zack with a dumb founded expression. "I got ahold of Tinga and got some info."
"And you didn't see fit to share this with us earlier?"
"I just found out yesterday."
"So my baby's ok?" Both men looked down having forgotten that Max was still there.
"Your going to have a beautiful healthy baby Maxie." Zack said with a smile. Max suddenly growled in pain.
Alright!" Annie said a little to perikiily for Max's tastes. "Time for another contraction." Zack looked at Logan who was still holding Max's hand.
"You might want to let me do that." He said indicating to Logan and Max's intertwined hands. Logan looked at him confused when suddenly Max let out a scream, and so did Logan. She was squeezing his hand so hard he thought it would turn to dust. He detangle his hand from Max's as quickly as he could, grabbing Zack's hand and placing it into Max's. He moved behind her and softly stroked her hair s he nursed his throbbing hand. Zack laughed at Logan's inability to deal with pain, before a look of pain crossed his own face, which he quickly pushed down.
The labor lasted only a little over an hour, with Logan and Zack soothing her and Annie and Bling encouraging her. Max pushed hard, and finally after the longest hour of her life, Max delivered a baby girl into Annie's waiting arms.
"It's a girl." Annie said over the baby's wailing. "And she's healthy and beautiful." Max smiled and sighed.
"Can I see her?"
"Of corse Max.' Annie came and placed the baby girl, all wrapped up in a balance onto Max's chest.
"She's beautiful luv." Logan said, kissing Max and then his daughter.
"What are you going to name her?" Zack asked quietly, not wanting to ruin the happy calm that had settled over the group.
"The first book that I read after the escape was "Little House In The Big Woods" Laura Ingells was a survivor, something you need to be in this world, so I"ve decided to name her Laura. " Logan smiled and squeezed her hand.
"It's a perfect name." Zack said with a smile.
