Alison sat in the chair in the apartment putting things in boxes. They were going to get moved in before Angel came, and she was going to make sure of it. She had got up earlier than she usually did as the baby was kicking and she couldn't sleep anymore.
She put down what she was doing and grabbed her cup of tea to take another sip. She stopped in mid-sip and realized what had just happened-her water had broke. She grabbed the pillow that was supporting her lower back in the chair and flung it so it hit a sleeping Rafe in the head. "What was that for?" he said groggily.
"My-my-water broke," she was able to get out. He jumped out of the bed and came to where she was. Asking her if she was ok for the moment she nodded, and then he went and grabbed some clothes to wear.

Rafe had grabbed a wheel chair and brought Alison in. Colleen was at the desk and she told him where to go for Labor and Delivery. After they had left Ian walked by, "Rafe and Alison are on their way to Labor and Delivery," she said with a smile. He looked at her, and then made a quick call to Lucy and some others.
"It's going to be ok," Rafe said as he rubbed Alison's face as they waited on the doctor to come in. They heard the door open, but instead of seeing the doctor they wanted, they were greeted by Ian and Lucy. "Hey, glad you could make it."
"I can't stay long," she said giving Alison a hug. "I've got some errands to do today. I'll be back though as soon as I learn our little one is here. Hang in there Alison, I know it's tough, but it's so worth it. Plus you'll always remember the moment you see her for the first time," she said reminiscing about her giving birth to Serena.
As the ladies continued to talk Ian pulled Rafe over and told him what they were planning. "You don't have to do that."
"I insist. Jack and Jamal are already over at the apartment getting things together. I'm going to get off work in a few hours and go help them. Well, I better get back to work. Come on Lucy, let's leave them alone," he said ushering her out the door.

"How can two people in this small apartment have so much stuff?" asked Jack as he pulled out another handful of hang up clothes from the closet.
"I don't know, but we should stop complaining," laughed Jamal.
"Ok, we're here," said Elizabeth and Lucy together as they walked in.
"Glad to see you. When is Ian going to get here? It's the heavy stuff we have to deal with."
"He gets off in two hours. I figure that Elizabeth and I can take the clothes and dishes and knick-knacks over to the house now. Hope you two don't mind doing part of an all-nighter on getting this place together."
Jack looked at Jamal, and just went back to getting stuff out of the closet.

"Alright Alison, it's about time to push," said Dr. Middleton. It had been about eight hours since Alison's water had broke, and she was ready to get this over with. Rafe let her squeeze his hand as hard as she needed to as she leaned forward and started to push.
Five minutes into pushing Alison had to stop. Rafe put his lips on her forehead, "Come on Angel. You can't give up yet. All we've ever wanted it about to come true. Just a few more pushes, please."
She looked at him, and gave one more push. Just then she heard the sweetest sound, the sound of their little girl crying. Her eyes filled with tears of joy as she fell back onto the bed in exhaustion, "Is she ok?"
"She's perfect," said Rafe as they laid her on Alison's chest. "She looks like you."
"How can you tell?' she laughed.
"I just can," he said as all three just stayed there for a few minutes enjoying the moment. When they took Angel to the nursery for a little bit he went and called Lucy. "Hey Luce. I'm a dad," he said proudly on the phone.
"Rafe," she said already tearing up. "And you are going to be the best dad. We'll be over there in a bit," she said hanging up the phone. The guys walked just then carrying the couch. "Put that down and let's head over to the hospital. Rafe just called to let us know that Alison had the baby."
-------------
Lucy and everyone were coming out of the elevator when they saw Livvie. Pulling Jack away she asked, "Is everything ok? What are you all doing here together?"
"Alison had the baby. It's a girl. Now I need to go," he said pulling his arm out of her grasp and heading on in with the others.
"Hey there new Mama," smiled Jamal as they walked in.
"What are you all doing coming in at the same time? And why do you guys look more exhausted than I am?" she said as she held Angel in her arms.
"We look tired? I don't know why. Ian, do you know we should look tired?" joked Jack.
"Well, anyways. I want to introduce to you all, Miss Angel Rose Kovich."
"She's beautiful. Oh sweetie," said Elizabeth and she went and gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead.
"Thank you."
"Ok, before I forget. I want to get a picture of you three," said Lucy as she pulled out a camera and got ready to take a picture.
"Can it wait until morning, Lucy?"
"No, it can't. Now Rafe, why don't you try and hop onto the bed with Alison and Angel. Scoot in a little bit. Ok, perfect. Smile!"
