"Ok, so everything looks good." Dr. Newman stood up and walked toward the door of the examination room. "I'll see you at your next appointment, Alison. And will I be seeing you again, Mr. Kovich?"

Rafe and Alison just looked at each other nervously and then Rafe began to answer, "Well, I-..."

Alison cut him off, "Yeah, hopefully...but he's out of town...a lot."

Dr. Newman looked a bit concerned but continued, "Ok, well until next month then."

"Bye, Doctor! Thank you!" Alison called out as Dr. Newman left the room.

Rafe saw the anxious expression on Alison's face. "It'll all be okay."

"Yeah, you're not the one who's going to have to explain to her where you are at my next appointment."

"I'm so sorry, Alison...I-..."

"Don't." Alison stopped him from speaking as she placed her hand to his lips and watched as he melted into her touch. "Don't apologize for anything. I am so happy you're here with me today...even if it's just for one day. This is all I've been wishing and praying for these last months, and I don't want to waste one minute of it worrying about something we can't control."

"I love you," Rafe said as he looked into her eyes and brought her into a kiss.

"Wait!" The moment ended as Alison pulled out of the kiss abruptly.

"What's wrong?"

"How are we gonna get you home? I mean...Just like getting you here, I think we need to make sure no one sees you leaving, too."

"Alright, so you take your car and I'll...well...do my thing," Rafe said with a sly smile.

"Rafe Kovich, I think you enjoy having your magic back a little too much."

Rafe laughed, "Ok, so I'll meet you at home then in about...well...how long will it take you to drive home do you think?"

"How fast can you fly?" Alison replied in an almost daring tone.

Livvie and Jack walked into the Recovery Room and spotted Lucy sitting at a table with her back toward them. They looked confused as they watched Lucy flailing her arms and making strange noises.

"Hee Hee Hoooo, Hee Hee Hoooo..."

"Ummm...Lucy? What are you doing?" Livvie asked curiously as Lucy turned around.

"Oh, hey! How are you two? I'm just doing some breathing excercises."

"Breathing exercises?" Jack looked extremely perplexed. Then it hit him, "OH! Breathing exercises! You mean for Alison, right?"

"Of course for Alison! I'm her coach, ya know. And ya know, the coach has very important role during labor..." Lucy went on one of her rambles with that look of determination in her face, her eyes squinting as she looked hard and straight past Jack and Livvie at an invisible target, "Gotta keep Alison focused! Be strong and supportive, and help her breathe when she's supposed to breathe...push when it's time to push! I'm gonna be Alison's rock, her fortress...me, me, me! So I've gotta be well-prepared!"

Both Jack and Livvie's brows furrowed as they listened to Lucy give herself the pep talk on the importance of the birthing coach. By the time she finished Jack was half-ready to shout, "One, two, three, break!" If it was anyone other than Lucy, they'd probably say this person was a little nuts. But it was Lucy...and she was VERY nuts.

Livvie changed the subject, "So how's my dad and the girls?"

"Oh they're great!" Lucy beamed with pride as she thought of her family, and happily changed her ramble from the importance of being Alison's coach to going on and on about Kevin, Serena, and Christina.

Livvie sat down at the table and easily fell into girl-talk with Lucy.

Jack rolled his eyes and smiled, "I'll go get the drinks."
