7:56 am
Jade stood on the bed with her hands on her hips staring at her mother. She swayed her hips slightly. Alex chuckled softly.
"What do you want, Miss Davis?" Alex asked tickling her side slightly.
"Pancakes ad to go outside." Jade said, "Daddy didn't male 'fast."
"Shame on daddy." Alex chuckled as she pulled her body out of bed. "I'll make you so me Mickey mouse pancakes, okay?"
"Yippee!!" Jade jumped off of the bed with a large thump. "Daddy's miss out." Alex chuckled as she took her daughter's hand.
"Yeah he's missing out, but he had to do a few things at work before Caroline comes." She said, slowly easing her way down the stairs.
"I'm a big sister." Jade grinned as she ran ahead of Alex.
"And I'm a big mommy." Alex ran her hand over her stomach; "You can set the table if you want."
"Good." Jade pushed the chair to the sink and grabbed two plastic plates from the drainer.
"Don't forget the syrup." Alex started to heat up the skillet. Mickey Mouse pancakes were so easy, but they gave jade so much joy.
"I love stirrups." Jade said throwing open the refrigerator. Alex stood there staring at the skillet. She could feel her water start to break and it began to pool around her feet. She groaned and glanced at Jade. Suddenly, a contraction tore through her body. It threw her off balance and she reached out and accidentally grabbed the skillet. She cried out in pain and slid t the ground.
"Oh fuck!" Alex moaned loudly. Jade looked at her mother with large eyes.
"Mommy?" She whispered. Alex continued to groan. Her hand was throbbing. Jade pushed the chair to the telephone and dialed 911.
"This is 9-1-1. What is your emergency?" Patti asked.
"Is daddy there?" Jade asked softly.
"Sweetie, you shouldn't be calling here. Your daddy doesn't work here. This number is only for emergencies." Patti sighed. Jade growled.
"Ya huh. Daddy is a cop.' Jade said.
"What is your daddy's name?" Patti asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Daddy Davis. My mommy is hurt." Jade said looking at Alex.
"Davis?…Is this Jade?" Patti asked.
"Yes. I'm Jade." Jade's lips started to tremble. "Mommy's hurt."
"Okay, I'm going to send an ambulance over okay?" She asked.
"O-Okay." Jade whispered and hung up the phone. She jumped down and fell into Alex's arms, "No die, mommy." Alex chuckled.
"Mommy's not going to die." She said hugging her daughter.
9:12 am
Ty ran down the hallway to the nurse's station. He had gotten the call Alex was in here right before he and Sully were going to check out a call.
"My wife's in labour. Where is she?" He panted.
"We have a lot of women going into labour here, officer." She nurse said.
"Davis. Alexandra Davis." He growled. She nodded.
"Room seven." She said. Ty bolted down the hallway. He pushed ito the room.
"Alex?" He walked up to the bed. Alex opened her eyes and smiled.
"About time you showed up." Alex said softly. Jade waved to Ty from the big chair in the corner.
"Hey, Ladybug." Ty mumbled softly as he pulled up a chair to the bedside. He took Alex's bandaged hand, "What happened here?"
"I had a contraction while cooking breakfast. My hand landed on the hot skillet." Alex chuckled, "You will be proud of your little ladybug."
"What did she do now?" Ty chuckled as Jade crawled onto his lap.
"She called me an ambulance all by herself. She made sure Doc bandaged up my hand." Alex said. A proud smiled appeared on Ty's face.
"What a big girl you are, Jade. I'm so proud of you." Ty kissed his daughter's cheek.
"Carrie made mommy fall." Jade said.
"I called our mothers and they were beyond excited. They should be here by noon or something." Alex said, "Oh, guess who called."
"Ah…Bosco?" Ty asked. Alex chuckled.
"No. She's family." She said. Ty stared at her blankly. "Gwen called. I don't know how she found out I was in labour, but she did and she wished us luck." Ty nodded trying not to get an attitude.
"Well, that was nice of her." Ty said. Alex nodded as a contraction started to tear through her body. Her good hand held onto Ty's tightly.
"Fuck." She growled, trying not to cry out in pain. She had already scared Jade enough for one day.
"This of happy thoughts." Ty said. Alex shot him a look. "Right. Very lame."
"No shit." Alex exhaled and closed her eyes.
"You 'kay, Mommy?" Jade asked. Alex nodded.
"Mommy will be fine in a few hours." Alex said. Y leaned over and kissed his wife softly.
1:19am
Alex was glaring at Maggie and Beth. Once again the two of them were bickering. Didn't they care that she had been doing this for five hours?
"She can keep us both in here while she's pushing." Beth said.
"It'll be crowded in here." Maggie said, "It's my turn to be in here."
"You have your daughters. Be in their delivery rooms, Maggie." Beth snapped, "Alex is my only chance for grandchildren."
"Enough!" Alex cried, "You've been yelling at one another for the past twenty minutes. You haven't even noticed that I have had four god damn contractions."
"I'm sorry, but-"" Alex cut her mother off.
"Please No buts, mother." Alex snapped at her, "I want you and Maggie to stay in the waiting room with Jade. Hen Caroline is born, Ty will come get you. Do you two understand me?"
"Yes," Maggie said, "I can at east buy Jade lunch." They started to bicker again as they left the room. Alex sighed deeply. She was six centimeters dilated and she didn't want to deal with them.
"You handled that like a pro." Ty said as he walked in with some juice.
"You're evil for leaving me alone with them." Alex moaned. Ty chuckled as he patted her leg.
"But, you survived and that's all that matters." Ty said. Alex sighed softly.
"Why are they so competitive?" She asked. Ty shrugged.
"It's how mothers are I guess." Ty said.
"Not me." Alex whispered, "Not me."
3:48 p.m.
Alex was gathered in Ty's arms crying softly. She was in so much pain, but still she opted for no medication. She was a brave woman, Ty thought. He couldn't do it. That's why women gave birth and not men. Alex's body trembled as she tried to relax after her contraction passed.
"Oh God, I hate Eve!!" She moaned loudly. Ty cocked his eyebrow. He had no idea what on Earth she was talking about.
"Who?" Ty pushed her sweaty blond hair off of her forehead.
"Adam and Eve its all her fault. I'm in so much pain." Alex said.
"I suppose so." Ty said, "You could blame me of course." Alex chuckled softly.
"I do blame you." She said glancing at the clock, "Nearly eight hours of this. I hope she hurries up. I need some sleep."
"You wont be getting any sleep anytime soon sweetheart."
"I know." She smiled as Dr. White walked in, "Hey there."
"Hey." Dr White chuckled, "How are you doing?"
"I'm in pain. I want Caroline out." Alex said.
"Let me check you and I'll tell you when she'll be out about." Dr White snapped some latex gloves on and sat down in front of her. "Any more contractions?" Ty nodded.
"She just had one about a minute ago." He said. Dr. White nodded.
"You're coming along nicely." Dr white said, "You're about seven centimeters along. It won't be long now." Alex sighed.
"Four or five hours huh?" She asked. Dr White nodded.
"Could be." He said, "just hang in there."
"That's easier said that done." Alex moved slightly. Dr white chuckled softly.
"I know." He said, "I will be back soon to check on you. Take care." Alex growled as Dr. White walked out. Ty kissed her bandaged hand.
"Soon, Baby. Just hold on." Ty whispered.
7:25 PM
Adam sat on the bed, rubbing his sister's back. Her contractions were closer and Ty went to go fetch Dr. White. They had a feeling it was time. Adam kissed Alex so softly. She looked at him.
"Times like these, all my labours and my wedding, I'm glad I have you." Alex said softly, "You remind me of dad so much, Adam." He chuckled.
"Do I now?" Adam smiled, "I never really pictured dad as a feminine man before. Not even any Bi tendencies." Alex started to laugh.
"You know what I mean, dumb ass." She said. "He'd be proud of you." Adam shrugged.
"Maybe, but I know he'd be proud of you. He always wanted grandkids, you know." Adam said. Alex's eyes welled up with tears.
"I wish he was here." She whispered. Adam nodded.
"Me too." He said as Ty and Dr. White walked into the room.
"You doing okay?" Ty asked. Alex shrugged.
"There's a whole lot of pressure. I really need to push soon." She said. Dr. White nodded as he put Alex's legs in the stirrups.
"Well, you're ten centimeters dilated so you can start pushing while we get everything situated here, Alex." Dr. White said.
"I will leave and check on Mom and Jade." Adam smiled and kissed Alex, "Good luck, Lexi, get me a niece."
"You are." Alex groaned taking Ty's hand with her good hand. He kissed the top of her head.
"Do it. You can do it." He whispered. Alex gritted her teeth and started to push for the first time that day. Ty's hand shook as she crushed it. This was it. They were getting another baby.
"Very good, Alex." Dr. White smiled. Alex exhaled with a gasp.
"God…I nearly forgot what this was like." She murmured.
"Great refresher coarse." Ty smiled softly as he pushed her hair off of her shoulder. Alex gave him a look.
"Remember there's a no joke rule when I'm in labour." She said.
"I nearly forgot." He said looking at Dr. White.
"Okay, Alex, push as hard as you can." He said. Alex glared at him and pushed. She thought about Jade and how excited she was to be able to meet Caroline. "Wow…Good Job. She has very light brown hair." Ty beamed proudly.
"Oh fuck…Oh fuck." Alex cried loudly, "You're so going to fucking pay for this, Davis." She hissed. Ty burst out laughing.
"You're already crushing my hand, Darling." He said, "you're doing a wonderful job. One more push and you'll have her head out."
"Next time make me get an epidural." Alex moaned as she started to push again. This was easy; she just had to keep thinking that. Maybe it would wind up being easy if she did think that. Dr. White nodded as the head came out. He cleaned out her nose and mouth. He smiled at Alex.
"Good job. Want to feel her head?" He asked. Alex's lips trembled as she nodded. Ty looked between her legs and stared t the baby. He took his wife's hand and led her down.
"She's beautiful, baby." Ty whispered with his own eyes filling with tears. Alex whimpered.
"I w-want her in m-my arms." She said.
"Then push." Dr. White smiled. Alex wiped her eyes.
"Okay." She took in a shuddery breath and started to push again.
"That's it. That's it." Dr. White said. One of the nurse's grabbed a receiving blanket, "Come on, Alex, You're passing her shoulders."
"Ooooh…..Fuuuucckkkk." Alex screamed as she pushed as hard as she could. She wanted this baby out and NOW! She exhaled as she felt the baby being pulled form her.
"It's a girl." Dr. White said wiping Caroline off. Soon, cries were being heard through out the room. TY burst into tears as the baby was placed on his wife's chest.
"Sh-She's so beautiful." He sobbed. God, he was so happy.
"Perfect." Alex whispered. She looked so much like Jade, with the exception of her hair. Jade had dark curly brown hair, but Caroline had a very dark shade of blond hair. Her eyes were blue. Her skin was tanned. She was breath taking. "Thank you."
"Oh thank you." Ty leaned over and kissed her tenderly.
9:07 PM
Ty held Jade on his hip as they walked into the bedroom. Alex was holding Caroline in her arms. She smiled at Jade.
"Hey, Ladybug." Alex said.
"That Carrie?" Jade whispered. Alex nodded.
"Caroline Ruby Davis to be more exact." She chuckled, "Come say hello to your baby sister." Ty placed Jade on the bed and she crawled up next Alex. Her eyes widened looking at the baby.
"Hi Carrie." Jade whispered.
"You need to be gentle with her. She's very small." Ty said. Jade touched Caroline's forehead with her finger.
"She's real." Jade whispered. Alex nodded.
"She's very real." She said. Alex smiled at her husband. Here they were. A family. Finally the day had arrived. They were a complete family again.
