JOC : Hey! Glad you liked it. I know wasn't Adam sweet, I don't think I could possibly make him like his dad, I'm not that cruel lol. You see I go threough stages where in some of my stories, I really like him, but others I don't, weird huh? All those questions you asked, you'll just have to wait for the answers won't you lol. Patience is a virtue lol. Luckiy for you, when you said you'd had an ultrasound, I never once thought it was for being pregnant, see I've had a few in my time, mainly for water infections and once because I thought I had kidney stones I think, but I was so young lol. I think my moms more relaxed on the whole child front, mainly because I can't stand kids, so she knows I won't get pregnant lol. Right for a song - I said "go if you wanna go, Stay if you wanna stay", I didn't care if you hung around me, I didn't care if you went away, And I know you were never right, I'll admit I was never wrong, I could never make up my mind, I made it up as I went along, And though I treated you like a child, I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life, All I need is a miracle, all I need is you, All I need is a miracle, all I need is you, All I need is a miracle, all I need is you – Mike and the mechanics, All I need is a miracle, ace song.

Chapter 17
ADAM'S P.O.V
Soon months turned to weeks, and weeks turned to days. Connie was due give birth anyday soon. I had been watching her like a hawk for a while now, and NEVER left her alone. If I had got to go anywhere, I left her with one of the ducks. Luckily, it was the Easter break, so other than working, no-one seemed to have got anything on. Connie was huge and getting more and more depressed about it. She was fed up and continually hot, she was hardly sleeping at night, unable to in the humidity she felt more than others.
"Adam". I felt someone lightly shaking me.
"Huh". I mumbled.
"Ahhhh". I woke up immediately to see Connie breathing heavily, grasping the bedside table, almost doubled over in pain. "Adam, I think my waters just broke". She wept.
"Ok, Ok. I got the bag". I leapt out of bed, pulling a pair of pants over my boxers and a shirt.
"Keys". Connie told me. I grabbed for them.
I helped her down the stairs, and toward my car was parked. I felt panicked, how could she be so calm. I sped along the streets, trying to remember the quickest way. I had practised so many times in my head and on the way home from the grocery's, which was the best route, but now, I could hardly remember a thing.
"Adam, just stay calm will you. I'm not going to have them for a while yet". She said through her breathing.
Eventually, I pulled into the car park, and ran in, to get her a wheelchair. By the time I came back out, she was already half way across the car park. I eased her gently into the chair before pushing her speedily inside. We were taken into a private room, where Connie was immediately hooked up to a monitor. The nurse showed me how to read it and tell Connie when the contractions were nearly over. At the moment they were about 15 minutes apart, which the nurse said was a good start, but would probably take a while. After the next contraction, I quickly dashed outside, to ring some of the ducks and both our parents. First I rang Charlie, and he said he's ring the others and they'd get down there as soon as possible. I rang Connie's parents next, but there was no answer, so continued in calling my parents. They too were out, so I left them a message on their answering machine, before heading back to Connie. She was just finishing another contraction.
"Hey, how you going"? I asked, taking a seat next to her, and lifting her hand to my lips before placing a kiss gently on the top.
"Ok". She caught her breath.
"So, I let Charlie know, he's gonna tell the others, your folks weren't in, so I'll try again later, and I left a message for my folks". I told her.
"Hello, Miss Moreau, I'm Doctor Weinberg, lets' see how your doing, shall we"? She looked at the print outs the monitor was continually feeding out, then checked how far dialated she was. "Ok, we're doing pretty well here, your 2cm dialated, your contractions are getting closer together, and are about 15 minutes apart at the moment. So just hang in there for a while and I'll come back and check on you in a while, ok". And with that she had disappeared.
"She seemed nice". I said.
"I don't think I can do this". A few stray tears strolled steadily down her soft cheeks.
"You can Con, you are the strongest"... I began but was interupted by another contraction. I felt her hand tighten around mine. "Breath, ok, slowly going... nearly gone... Gone". I told her.
"I'm scared Adam". She whimpered.
"I know, but I'm right here. Nothings gonna happen, and I'm not gonna leave you, not for 1 second". I rest my forehead against her's and looked deeply into her eyes. She nodded gently, but I could still see fear in her eyes.
"So, how are we doing in here"? A nurse popped her head around the door. "Ok"? She quickly swept in, checked all the monitors and then left.
"Is there a Miss Connie Moreau in here"? A big bouquet of flowers entered, then lowered revealing Charlie, Dwayne, Ken, Luis, Averman, Portman, Fulton, Russ and Goldberg.
"There most certainly is". The nurse re-entered, carrying a vase for the flowers.
"Hey". Connie said, plastering a smile on her face. Each of the ducks in turn, came and kissed her gently on the cheek, before settling in spaces around the room.
"Ok, here comes another one". I told her. "Breath slowly, c'mon nearly over". I watched the little screen intently. "It's over". I told her.
"How far apart was that one"? She asked me, as she was catching her breath back.
"14 minutes". I told her.
About half an hour later, she was still 2cm dialated and the contractions were about 13 minutes apart. Julie and Guy were on their way, as Charlie had been to call them again, after not being able to reach them, earlier. Some of the ducks had just popped to the cafeteria.
"Over". I told her after, yet another contraction.
"Adam, will you go call my mom again. Tell her I'm fine and I'll speak to her later". She breathed deeply.
"Yeah, I'll be back in less than 13 minutes". I laughed giving her a little wink.
PORTMAN'S P.O.V
Somehow, I had got parted away from the ducks. Our plan had been, to give Connie and Adam a few moments alone, and get some coffee and snacks. Well since I could'nt find any of the ducks, and searching throughout the hospital, wasn't particularly an option, since I would nodoubtedly get mysef lost further, I found a vending machine, then headed back to Connie's room, not wanting to get lost any further than I already was. As I passed the door, I noticed Connie was on her own.
"Hey, where's Adam"? I poked my head around the door.
"He's um, just gone to call my mom". She replied. "Where's everyone else"? She asked, and I entered the room and sat next to her.
"I kinda got seperated from them on the way to the café, and I kinda figured I'd come back here, before I got lost anymore". She nodded in response, then immediately tensed. "Another contraction"? She nodded again. "Ok, keep breathing Connie". I stood up and glared at the screen. "How the hell do you work this thing"? I panicked slightly.
"That line... it looks like... a mountain... when it... starts... going down". She said through the pain.
"Oh, ok". I finally got the jist of what I was supposed to be watching for. "It's going... gone".
"Thanks". She caught her breath.
"You're welcome".
"I still don't know why, you haven't managed to be snapped up you know". She told me smiling.
"Huh".
"You can be quite sweet when you want to be, you know".
"Ah, but that's only because you know me, and I've let my guard down 'cause you're in pain". I chuckled.
"I'm sure it is". She giggled slightly.
"So, you tell me, how much pain ARE you in right now"?
"More than you'll ever know". She replied.
"Try me".
"Ok, imagine a hockey player being shoved up your butt, stick and all, then you have to try pushing it out, but obviously for me, it ain't coming out my butt". She giggled a little.
"Ouch".
"Exactly". She smiled. "Oh, here comes another". She leant forward again.
"It's ok, your doing good, breath deep, doing good, ok going slowly, going, gone". She sat back and caught her breath.
"God, Portman, you should thank your lucky stars that you ain't a woman".
"Yeah, but think about it. Sure you're going through all this pain right now, but after today, these two tiny things that created the pain, will create years upon years of happiness. Nothing can be more rewarding than this".
"Oh my gosh, you really are a woman". She joked.
"Whose really a woman"? Adam asked entering the room.
"Oh Fulton when he see's a spidar". Connie said quickly, then winked at me.
"I got through to your mom, she told me I have to call her again, as soon as we know anything". Connie nodded in agreement.
So, what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!
