Week 40
Randi had a quiet 39th birthday. The kids had baked her a wonderful cake. Dave gave her another charm for her charm bracelet.
"I'm coming!" Randi called out as the doorbell rang. She ran down the stairs.
"Hurry up." Elizabeth called out.
"Lizzie?" Randi chuckled as she opened the door, "Today's your due date."
"Yeah I know." "She said walking into the house, "Ella said you baked brownies."
"Last night yes." Randi said.
"Can I have some?" Lizzie asked.
"You came all the way over here to ask for brownies?" Randi asked.
"That and I had to get out of the house." Elizabeth sat at the kitchen table. Randi grabbed her a couple of brownies, "Drew is treating me like I've never done this before."
"But you have." Randi handed her the brownies.
"God thank you." Elizabeth groaned.
"Let me tell you, I am very happy I'm not having any more." Randi sat down with a cup of tea.
"You just need to wait to become a grand mum." She chuckled. Randi groaned loudly.
"I figure I have a good twenty years before that happens.' She said.
"That's what you think. It'll probably happen in ten." Elizabeth said already finishing off the brownies, "So, when does Dave go back to work?"
"Next week hopefully. She took back her charges, but there's still red tape." Randi said. Elizabeth nodded, The women sat there in silence for a moment.
"Guess what." Elizabeth said with a slight groan.
"What?" Randi asked.
"My water broke." She said. Randi's eyes widened.
"Don't joke. I just washed the floor." She said.
"I'm not joking." Elizabeth groaned, "I'm in labour."

Randi was pacing back and forth. Anderson and Daisy followed behind her, making every move she made. She ran her hand through her hair. They ran their hands through their red hair.
"Sit." Dave chuckled, "It's going to be a while yet."
"I know." Randi sat down, "I'm nervous."
"What for? You've given birth before." He said bouncing Jett on his knee.
"I've never been on this end before." Randi said. "When Sonny came, I was in labour with Daisy. With Misty having the girls, I was busy with the new line."
"I know, but I've been here five times." Dave chuckled, "You get used to it."
"Who do you think will be the first kid to give us a grandchild?" Randi asked picking up Gage. Dave chuckled.
"Jett probably." He said.
"Jett? Why?" Randi asked.
"Well, Landsie will be too busy filming and winning Oscars. Rickie will also probably be too busy being a doctor to have a love life. Pregnancy would throw off Lori's balance and she wouldn't be able to have one until she retired." Dave chuckled, "Daisy will be locked away in her room composing.
"What about Gage?" Randi asked.
"Gage is going to be a bachelor." Dave said. Randi chuckled.
"You're dreaming. She said kissing Gages head. Wouldn't that be great.
3:34 pm
"here you go." Dave handed his wife a cup of coffee. She smiled gratefully.
"Can we have dinner soon?" Ireland asked.
"We can order pizza." Ella said, "They deliver here." Randi chuckled softly.
"Ten people,. Three large pizzas?" She asked. Dave nodded.
"That should be fine." He said.
"Ella!" Rachel came walking down the hall.
"Finally." Ella ran to her big sister, "We're ordering pizza."
"Sounds great. We haven't eaten." Rachel said, "How's your mother?"
"Still pregnant." Ella said. Randi looked at the man next to Rachel. There were three kids that looked exactly like her.
"Rachel, hello." She smiled.
"Randi! hi!" She gave her a great big hug, "It's been what? Ten years?"
"About that I think." She chuckled softly.
"I don't think you've met my family. This is my husband, Anthony." Rachel grinned broadly, "And our rug rats. Marco is five. Lorenzo is three and this pumpkin is Gia. She's one."
"I'm six. I'm older than you." Sailor grinned. Marco shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know you so-" He stuck out his tongue. Randi chuckled as Drew came out.
"hey man." Dave said, "How you holding up?"
"Fine." He said, "She's eight centimeters."
"Anytime now." Randi said. Drew nodded.
"She wants to see you, Ella." he said. She smiled.
"Okay." She walked with Drew into the room.
"I better go order five pizzas now." Randi said going to the phones.
6:07 pm
"Caroline." Ella said.
"Charlotte." Ireland said.
"Emily." Rachel said.
"Heather." Lyric said. Randi chuckled softly.
"I say Jessica." She said.
"Samantha." Sailor said.
"Violet." Dave chuckled, "You know if we get it right, It'll be amazing."
"I know." Randi said.
"What do you think Lizzie will name the baby, Marco?" Sailor asked.
"Clara." He said.
"That's a very pretty choice, Son." Rachel smiled
"IT'S A GIRL!!" They heard Drew yelling from inside the room. Everyone cheered.
"It's good to know ultrasounds are still reliable." Dave said. Randi grinned brightly. She loved the miracle of Birth.
"I'm a big sister again." Ella beamed. Drew opened up the door holding a gorgeous pink bundle.
"Eight pounds, eight ounzes, and twenty inches long." He said. Everyone crowded around to see her large hazel eyes and soft wisps of red hair.
"how precious." Randi said, "What's her name?"
"Audrey Caroline." Drew beamed. Ella grinned brightly. She got the middle name.
"How perfect." Randi said watching Audrey yawn. She smiled. God, she loved little babes, but she was glad it was all over for her.
