Before I restart this story, I would just like to apologise for not
updating it in so long. Originally I wasn't going to continue with it but
then I got an email asking if I was going to update it, I read the story
and suddenly realised that it meant too much to me to not continue with it.
It was one of the first story's I ever started to write and half way
through I got the dreaded "writers block". For months I didn't know how to
carry it on and then I decided to give up altogether, then I got the email,
I reread the story and this just came to me.
I hope you all enjoy it and I hope I can finish the story this time,
without getting stuck!
Bare with me, I'll try to update it as often as I can but being a student
nurse is an extremely busy life, with a lot of work to be done!

Vince rushed off to get dressed, he organised the flights and the driver's. Shane and Paul rushed to their rooms to pack. Linda dressed and literally threw their stuff into suitcases and went down to pay the bill. Linda was met downstairs by the guys. They dashed to the limo outside the hotel and got in.
It was a 10 minute drive to the airport and they rushed to their check in point at the airport. The plane ride was unbearable, Paul was prawelling around the plane like a lion in it's den, Shane chattered non-stop, Linda sat there quietly and nervously, chewing her fingernails and popping to the bathroom every ten minutes like she always did when she was nervous and Vince just complained about wanting to get their faster.
After a six hour flight to Greenwich, they landed at the airport. They rushed to get off the plane before everyone else, hoping to avoid the crowds and any fans that might be hanging around. They got their baggage and got in the limo that was waiting for them and asked to be driven straight to the hospital. Marissa phoned Paul on his mobile and said it wouldn't be too long now, this urged Paul to say some choice words to the limo driver about going faster. To which the driver responded by going faster.
After half an hour drive they arrived at Maternity and rushed to Steph's bedside.
"Where have you all been?" Stephanie demanded.
"We got here as fast as we could hon." Paul said gently stroking her face.
"Did they say how long you've got to go?" Vince asked.
"They said it shouldn't be long now. Uh oh, here comes another one. Agggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Steph screamed while holding Paul's hand.
Paul's face turned white because she was squeezing it so hard. Linda was the other side of her and stroking her face, pushing her hair out of the way. After the contraction was over Stephanie leant back against the headboard and started to cry out of desperation.
"Baby, what's up?" Paul asked.
"I can't do it any more. I don't want to push." She sobbed. "I'm so tired."
"Honey, it'll be fine." Paul tried to reassure her.
"What do you know? I don't see a baby coming out of you!!!" Shouted an angry and upset Stephanie. "You are NEVER going to come near me again. It's your fault I'm in this state."
Linda, Vince, Shane and Marissa all looked in shock at Stephanie. It was so unlike her to lose her cool like that. Paul looked a little upset, but wasn't about to cry infront of his family.
'She's just upset and tired.' He thought to himself.
"You're going to be fine." Linda reassured her daughter. "You can do this Steph, I know it's hard work but just remember, after this is all over you're going to have a little baby. And you'll get to be a mom for the rest of your life and.." Linda shook her head and tears filled her eyes. "I can't even begin to explain to you how amazing that is. To see your baby grow up into a mature young man or woman." Linda sighed. "It's the best feeling you'll ever experience. This baby is going to make you prouder of anything that you could ever achieve at work or anywhere else, I promise you."
Stephanie looked at her mother intently and smiled. "Thanks." She said in almost a whisper.
At that moment the doctor came in.
"How are you doing Steph?" Asked the doctor.
"Tired."
"I know it's hard work, but you're almost done. Another 15 minutes at the most by the look of this." The doctor said whilst checking the chart that the nurses had been keeping. "Ok, I think just the husband should be in here now."
"Ok." Shane said. "Love you Steph."
"Love you sweetheart." Said Vince.
"Seeya soon. Love you." Marissa said.
"Your going to be fine darling, ok? I love you." Linda said giving her a kiss.
