A/N: Sorry this took sooo long to get up. When you read it you'll see why.
It took me forever!
Baby preparations took over the remaining months of Holly's pregnancy. As her due date grew nearer, she grew rounder. Normally a petite woman, Holly looked very different with a big round belly. Everyone loved to pamper her. Kevin would run around after her, waiting on her hand and foot.
At 6 am on November 18th, 19 days before her due date, Holly's sharp cry rang out through out the Kinkirk home. Kevin awoke with a start and rolled over to see his wife crying hysterically. He got up quickly and ran around to her side of the bed. He took her in his arms.
"What's wrong?" He asked with alarm.
"My-my water broke." Holly sobbed.
"Why are you crying?" He asked, confused.
"I'm scared Kevin!" She yelled. "I woke up and was all wet and then I felt the contractions. I was going to wait until our alarm went off at 8 to have you take me to the hospital-you've been up late a lot so I didn't want to make you lose even more sleep. But Kev, the contractions-." She paused and leaned forward, obviously in silent pain. "Are getting really bad. I'm sorry. I really am. I-" Kevin cut her off with a kiss.
"Holly, it's fine. You should have woken me up the second YOU woke up. How long have you been having contractions?" He asked her.
"Since I woke up at 11." She said quietly. Kevin gasped when he looked at the clock
"Seven hours?" He yelled. "Holly, you should have woken me up. We need to get to the hospital. Now." Holly cried uncontrollably as Kevin lifted her out of bed. He carried her down the hall. As he walked, Chrissy shot out of her room.
"What's going on?" She asked with concern.
"Holly's in labor. Stay here. When every one's up tell them we're at the hospital. Joe can drive you there if he's willing." He said. He kissed her on the head, then hurried out of the house with Holly in his arms. He lay her in the back seat of the car and ran for the driver's seat. When he started the car, she let out a low moan.
"Kevin?" She asked.
"Yeah?"
"Hurry." She said. Kevin drove as quickly as he could with out getting a ticket down the road. When they were about half way to the hospital, Holly screamed.
"Kevin! Kevin, OW! I think it's time. Oh Kevin help me!" She cried painfully. Kevin began to panic.
"Can't you make them wait?"
"It's not that easy!" She yelled. She cried out in pain once more. Kevin said, unable to help her, in pure panic.
A light came on in Kevin's head. Lucy's brother, Matt was a doctor and he delivered babies. In panic, he pulled out his cell and dialed Matt's number. He explained the situation, and Matt told them to get to his house. They were close so Kevin turned off onto the road leading to his ex brother- in-law's house.
When they pulled up, Matt was outside. The men carried Holly inside and lay her on the sofa. She was completely panicked. Here she was, about to give birth, in the home of her husband's first wife's brother's house. Great.
"Kevin get her pants off." Matt said, taking Kevin off guard. He didn't know that he liked this, but he did as he was told. Matt came in front of Holly and Kevin held her hand.
Sarah, Matt's wife, had already called the hospital, and an ambulance was on its way.
Matt put on new plastic gloves from work and checked Holly. "The baby's head is right there, Holly. I want you to push." He said. Holly cried out in agony as the baby was delivered. Matt held the small, gooey figure up.
"It's a boy." He said. Sarah came over and took the baby. She washed him off and wrapped him in one of the blankets that was their sons when he was small. She sat by with the baby, and another blanket in hand, waiting.
Kevin kissed his wife. She looked at Matt nervously as he leaned down and moved her legs apart.
"Ready to do that again?" He asked.
"Do I have a choice?" She asked. Matt shook his head.
"Push!" He said. Holly cried out again and she pushed. It seemed to take hours until she heard "It's a girl!" And she relaxed. Her entire body ached, but she didn't care. She was done.
The doorbell rang and Matt let the hospital people in. They ran to Holly and began asking her questions and giving her a check-up. A few other people took care of the babies, making sure they were all right. Kevin looked at Matt with pure gratitude and hugged him.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." He said. Matt smiled and put his hand on Kevin's shoulder.
"Lucy would be proud." He said. "Congrats."
"Thanks."
Holly was placed on a stretcher and wheeled out of the home into the awaiting ambulance. Another person brought the twins, and Kevin followed. He got into the ambulance and they were off to the hospital.
