~*~ Chapter 16 ~*~

" Mom," Carly called out to Bobbie as they walked out of the elevator.

" Carly, aren't you supposed to be at your party?"

" Yeah, but Courtney went into labor," Carly said, directing her attention back to Courtney, who was being led over to them by Jason, Sonny following.

" Ok, let me get you a wheelchair."

" Ouch, they're really starting to hurt now."

" Just take deep breathes," Jason said.

" I'm breathing just fine, thank you," Courtney replied, sitting down in the wheelchair Bobbie brought out.

" We got a room ready for you. Jason, you need to stay here and fill out some papers real quick."

" Are you gonna be ok?"

Courtney smiled at Jason.

" I'll be fine when I get some drugs, just hurry."

A little while later, Jason walked toward Courtney's door when he heard her scream. He opened the door to find her yelling at the poor nurse about drugs.

" Jason, you're here," Carly said, running over. " It's too late for the doctor to give her drugs, and she's throwing a fit."

Jason walked over to the bed and took her hand.

" Hey, Baby, how are you doing?"

" I've definitely been better. They said it's too late to get drugs, I guess I ignored the labor for too long," she pouted.

" I know, Carly told me."

Courtney yelled as another contraction hit, and Jason winced as Courtney squeezed his hand till it was practically purple. Carly stifled a laugh.

" Hey, Courtney, sweetie, try breathing like we learned at lamaze," Carly said.

Courtney obeyed and let got of Jason's had as the contraction passed.

Just then, the doctor came in.

" How are you doing, Courtney?"

" Ugh, horrible! I just want the pain to stop!"

" Well, let's see how dilated you are," the doctor said, giving Courtney an examination. " Well, it looks like you're at 10 centimeters. Let's get Jason scrubbed up, and well have this baby."

Jason kissed Courtney on the head before leaving the room to get scrubbed.

Jason walked back into the room to see that Carly had left, and Courtney was in the middle of a contraction. Jason walked over and took Courtney's hand, hoping she wouldn't break any bones.

" Ok, Courtney, on the count of three, I want you to push, ok? One, two, three!"

Courtney pushed as hard as she could before putting her head back on the pillow, panting hard.

" You're doing good, Baby. Keep breathing, you're doing great."

" Oh, shut up! You know what? Next time, you're having the damn baby!"

Jason paled a little and gulped, but remembered Carly had told him she would say things she didn't mean during labor.

" Ok, Courtney, again. One, two three."

They repeated the process a few more time, until the doctor announce that she saw the head.

" Ok, I think one more big push will do it."

Courtney nodded and pushed as hard as she could, gripping Jason's hand with all her might. She smiled with both relief and happiness when she heard her daughter cry. The doctor asked Jason if he wanted to cut the umbilical cord, which he did proudly, tears shining in his eyes. The nurse cleaned the baby and wrapped her in a blanket, handing her to her father.

" She's beautiful, Jason." Courtney said as Jason put their daughter in her arms.

" Yes, she is," Jason replied truthfully.

The baby had Courtney's blonde hair, but Courtney was surprised when she saw the baby already had Jason's beautiful eyes, whereas most newborns all have plain blue eyes.

" Have you guys picked a name yet?" the nurse asked them.

Jason looked at Courtney.

" I've always liked the name Danielle, and I was thinking her middle name could be Lila, after your grandmother."

" I think it's perfect," Jason said, kissing her and then the baby.

The nurse went to put the name on the birth certificate, and they heard a knock on the door. Carly peeked her head in at them.

" Can we come in? The screaming stopped, so we figured that my niece had come into the world."

" Of course, come in," Courtney said.

Sonny and Carly walked into the room and over to the bed.

" Aw, she's beautiful! Have you guys picked out a name?"

" Yep. Carly, Sonny, meet Danielle Lila Morgan," Courtney said, proudly showing off her daughter.
