KTBEANZ : Hey up! Worried, me worried, NEVER lol. I've never actually tried the stalking thing, maybe I should – but then I'd have the problem with who to stalk, I mean you couldn't particularly stalk a friend as they'd know it was you, but just following a stranger around, could end up pretty boring – nah, think I'll pass lol. I know wasn't Portman sweet, I just wanted to put that bit in, 'cause everyone seems to ALWAYS make Portman the tough guy, me included lol. Right for my song - I KNOW YOU THINK THAT, I SHOULDN'T STILL LOVE YOU, I TELL YOU THAT, BUT IF DIDN'T SAY IT, WELL I'D STILL HAVE FELT IT, WHERE'S THE SENSE IN THAT, I PROMISE I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE HARDER, I'LL RETURN TO WHERE WE WERE, BUT I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP, AND I WON'T PUT MY HANDS UP AND SURRENDER, THERE WILL BE NO WHITE FLAG ABOVE MY DOOR, I'M IN LOVE AND ALWAYS WILL BE – Dido, White flag, ace song lol.

Chapter 18
ADAM'S P.O.V
We had been at the hospital about 6 hours now, and at just turned 5am, Connie was no further to having the babies, than she had been 4 hours ago. Her contractions had now slowed and were nearly 25 minutes apart, she was still 2cm dilated and going nowhere fast. She was fed up, and getting very irritated. The doctor wasn't much help, telling us they would only come when they were ready, and she wasn't prepared to induce her because the babies weren't in any distress.
"What about me, I'm in distress". She shouted after the doctor.
An hour later, the doctor came back, and claimed that there still was no change. This time she did however offer her some gas and oxygen – or whatever it was, by this time I was too tired to notice. She eagerly accepted it, and immediately on it's arrival, began taking big gulps of it in. After about 5 minutes of this she cheered up considerably, well that was until she had another contraction.
"Get out of me". She shouted at her belly.
When the doctor next came in 15 minutes later, she took away the gas thing, telling her she'd had too much as it was. Half an hour after that, Connie hadn't had another contraction and the doctor decided we should go home.
I finally got Connie home, who seemed rather annoyed and depressed, but headed straight to bed, to catch up on the sleep she had missed, I wasn't far behind her and within minutes of my head hitting the pillow, I was fast asleep. I awoke at about 2pm, finding Connie still fast asleep. Deciding to leave her be, I slowly and carefully climbed off the bed and headed to the living room. Remembering I hadn't called Connie's parents or my own, I decided on doing that before getting something to eat. I quickly rang Connie's parents and told them that it was a false alarm so to speak and that I'd ring them as soon as anything else happened. Next was my parents.
"Hello Bank's residence". Barney our butler answered the phone.
"Hey Barney, either of my folks knocking around"? I asked. I was probably one of the only ones in my family that treat him as a friend rather than an employee. Everyone thought it had been my dad that had taught me how to skate, yeah that was true, but it had been Barney that had bought me my very first pair of skates.
"Yes. Oh, how is Miss Connie doing"? He asked. He always called people either Master or Miss, it was just his nature and I suppose force of habit.
"Yeah she's doing ok. She started last night, but it was false alarm". I told him.
"Wait one second, I'll just get your Mother". He told me then the phone went silent.
"Honey, so have you had them yet"? My mom almost sung down the phone.
"No, it was a false alarm". I told her.
"Oh, Connie must be feeling awful. I remember I had nearly 10 false alarms with you".
"Yeah, she's in bed now. I think she's more fed up than anything else".
"Oh the poor dear". My mom sympathised. I was on the phone another half an hour with her, just chatting about the different things that were going on. "Ok, give Connie my love, love to you too. Bye". She finally said her goodbyes.
I was just about to get up and cook us something to eat, when the bed room door opened slowly, revealing Connie looking very pale and very worn out.
"They've started again". She told me.
"Ok, come sit down, how far apart are they"? I dove up and slowly helped her sit on the sofa.
"I've only felt 2, and they're about 20 minutes apart". She told me.
"Ok, just relax, there's no point rushing to the hospital if they stop again". I told her, of which she agreed.
Well for the next 2 hours, the contractions persisted and were gradually getting closer and closer, until she was having them nearly every 15 minutes.
"C'mon, let's go". I finally said, feeling this was for real.
I helped her off the chair and walked slowly down the stairs, having to stop half way for another contraction. When we got to the hospital, we were greeted by a different nurse and taken to the same room as we'd had before. Connie was soon settled on the bed and hooked up to the same monitors as before. After the current contraction, I dashed out of the room to call the ducks. Even through lack of sleep, I could hear Charlie's excitement as he told the others that were present. I went back to Connie, who was laid quite relaxed at the moment.
"How you doing"? I asked, as I sat on the bed beside her, kissing her forehead gently.
"10 minutes apart now". Was her answer, just as she began having another contraction.
"Ok, this is a big one". I warned her, as I watched the monitor intently. By the end of it, Connie was almost screaming out of pain. Small beads of sweat had settled themselves on her forehead.
"Hello Connie, I'm Doctor Foster. Let's see how far on you are shall we"? The doctor checked just about everything, before jotting something in her notes. "Right, you're about 3cm dilated, still a pretty long way to go I'm afraid, but just continue doing your breathing exercises and I'll come back and check on you in a few minutes".
"Long way". Connie panted.
"Haven't I seen you here before"? Goldberg asked as he and the other ducks entered.
"Not funny Goldberg". Connie replied.
"Connie"... A nurse entered, a little shocked at finding 11 more people in the room, but she soon dismissed them. "Doctor Foster suggested that you have a walk around, that sometimes eases labour pains". She told her, unhooking her from the monitors and helping her out of the bed.
I was about to follow when Connie told me she was ok, and that I should stay. I sat back down and rubbed my heavy eyes. I feared this was going to be one long night. It had already turned 5pm and with the doctors words running through my mind, I wasn't expecting to get any sleep until tomorrow now.
"Oh the joys of fatherhood". Averman quipped.
"Hey, someday this will happen to you, God help that poor innocent bystander of a woman, and you won't be laughing then". Luis chuckled back.
"So, are we to take it, this is gonna be a long night"? Julie asked, changing the subject.
"Seems that way. But they'll come, when they want". I replied.
"Whatever will be, will be, Que sera, sera". Averman, Russ, Goldberg and Dwayne all sung.
"There's no wonder they don't wanna come out, if they know what's waiting for them". Connie laughed as she walked back in.
So, will she have to wait long, or will they just pop out lol. Anyways please R&R!!!!
