"One last push Mary," the doctor coaxed Mary on.
Mary pushed with all her might and let out a loud scream. There was a distant cry in the background.
" Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Rivera, you have a beautiful baby girl."
" Did you hear that Mary?" Carlos questioned giving her a kiss on the cheek, "We're parents."
" What is this little bells name?" The nurse asked handing the baby to Mary.
" Savannah," she said kissing her daughter, "Savannah Ria Rivera."
" Hey baby," Carlos said walking over to Mary and giving her a kiss.
Mary stirred a little and then opened her eyes to see Carlos standing there, "What happened?"
"You fainted," He placed a bouquet of flowers on the table, "And you've gone into labor."
"How long was I asleep?"
" Almost all day."
"And the baby's ok?"
"She's perfect."
Mary nodded, "I love you Carlos."
"I love you too Mare."
Everyone else sat in the waiting room of the hospital. Simon and Brianna talked happily and Matt, Sarah, and Annie sat talking about the baby. Lucy and Kevin sat talking amongst themselves, and Sam and David worked on homework with Ruthie.
" Kevin, do you want a baby?" Lucy questioned turning to Kevin.
"Yes, I would like to have a baby someday, but someday, when we are ready."
Lucy nodded, "Do you think?"
"Do I think what?"
"Do you think that we'll be able to have a baby?"
"Why wouldn't we?"
"You know Kevin."
Kevin kissed her and looked at her strait in the eyes, "time will tell."
" Hello," a cheerful couple said sitting down next to Kevin and Lucy, "Is someone you know having a baby?"
Lucy nodded, "My sister."
" That's wonderful."
"I'm Gail, and this is Dave," Gail said motioning to her husband.
Lucy smiled and introduced herself also, "I'm Lucy and this is my husband Kevin."
Gail grinned and leaned in towards Lucy, "He's a hunk."
Lucy giggled a little and nodded, "Yep, he's great."
"So why are you guys here?" Kevin questioned.
"We're are adopting a baby and the mother just gave birth."
"Oh that's wonderful," Lucy said, "Is it your first?"
Gail shook her head, "Our seventh."
Lucy smiled.
"We love children, what can I say?"
"I know how it is I grew up with six brothers and sisters."
"Well we better get going."
Lucy smiled and nodded, "Good Luck."
Lucy was silent for a moment and then turned to Kevin, "Kevin," she questioned, "What do you say about adopting?"
Mary slept peacefully in the confinement of her room, a nurse stayed with her because of the slight fever she was running, but all was well.
"How is she?" Carlos questioned entering the room.
" Better."
Carlos walked over to her bed and kissed her.
"Hey honey," Mary said sitting up.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you."
"It's ok."
"How are you feeling?"
" Better."
"Only a few more hours."
Mary nodded, "I know."
"I don't know Luce shouldn't we try to have a child of our own first?"
" Kevin, think about it, do you know how many children in the world today need a home, we can be the people to give it to them."
"Lucy did you ever think about the money? The money to raise a kid, the money to adopt it."
"I'm sure we could come by it some how."
"Luce, I truly think we should try to conceive first."
" Fine."
"Push Mary, Push!" the doctor screamed a few hours later, "Only one more push."
Mary pushed with all her might and then there was a sharp cry, an infants cry.
" Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Rivera, you have a girl, a beautiful baby girl."
Mary nodded and turned to Carlos, "Did you hear that? We are parents!"
The nurse walked over to Mary and handed her the baby, "So what's her name?"
" Savannah," Mary started.
" Savannah Ria Rivera." Carlos finished looking at Mary, "We are a family!"
A/N: I'm sorry, I know it wasn't one of my better chapters, it's been so long since my last update and I just wanted to get another chapter posted. I always find it hard to write these kinds of chapters. I promise I'll try to make the next chapter longer and more descriptive. Please Review.
