A car came across the lights and head straight for the side of their car. Alex swerved and the other car skidded on the wet road as they narrowly avoided each other and Alex carried on driving

DIANE: ALEX YOU NEARLY GOT US KILLED!!

ALEX: Sorry

DIANE: SLOW DOWN!

Diane and Alex finally arrived at maternity after what seemed like a roller coaster ride that had lasted an eternity.

MUBBS: Ok how long have you been having the contractions?

ALEX: er.about...er

DIANE: On and off for the past two hours

MUBBS: Ok. How far apart are they now?

DIANE: Aghh!!

Mubbs smiled

MUBBS: Ok.you're going to be fine

Diane was wheeled into the delivery suite where Owen examined her

OWEN: Ok...well you've still got a while.your not fully dilated yet

Diane looked shocked and somewhat horrified

DIANE: but..

Owen smiled

OWEN: I'll be back to check on you later

DIANE: Alex I don't think I'm going to be able to do this.

Alex took her hand and gently kissed it

ALEX: Come on you'll be fine

*A WHILE LATER*

ALEX: Come on Diane you're doing great.just push!

DIANE: What do you think I'm try to do.have a picnic?!

Mubbs smiled

OWEN: Ok one last big push for me Diane

DAINE: AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

The pain could be seen on Alex's face as Diane dug her fingernails into his, now very red, hand once again.

They heard the baby cry and Alex smiled as tears welled in his eyes. Diane flopped back onto her pillow in exhaustion

OWEN: It's a girl

Rosie took her to the side to clean her up and check her over. She wrapped her up and took her back over to Diane

ROSIE: There you go. a beautiful baby girl

DIANE: You take her Alex.
