A/N: Big Chapter. I hope you all enjoy it. To me, it seems kind of rushed, but I hope you all like it anyway.
Craig silently walked into the waiting room. He saw Emma and JT asleep, cuddled together. He noticed the shiny diamond on Emma's left hand. She must've said yes. He wondered why no one bothered to tell him. He saw that Sean was not with Ellie. He thought they were together, so he thought that weird. He decided to sit with the only two available people in the room.
"How's Ashley?" Marco asked. He and Ellie were sharing a bag of pretzels from the vending machine.
"She's asleep right now." Craig looked at his watch to see that it read 2:15 AM. "I wish she would hurry up and just have the baby."
"Why don't you get some sleep?" Ellie spoke. Craig did look like the epitome of an expecting father.
"Nah. I-I can't." Craig shook his head. "I need to be awake for the birth."
Marco was about to say something when Dylan ran into the room. He grabbed Marco by the hand, pulling him out. Ellie and Craig followed.
"Lydia's contractions are right on top of each other. She's going to have the baby NOW!" Craig wondered who Lydia was and why she got to be so lucky to have her baby now when his wife was moving very slowly.
Marco, being dragged by Dylan, entered the room to hear a panting Lydia. He noticed two nurses and a doctor.
"Only the father is allowed in here!" One the nurses said. Dylan and Marco looked at each other.
"They pant are both pant the father." Lydia said. The other nurse instructed her to breath in, out, hee, hee, hoo style.
While all this was going on, curious Craig, outside the door, decided to find out what was going on.
"Marco and Dylan applied at an adoption agency and a few months ago were approved to adopt a sixteen year old girl's baby. They just found out tonight that she signed the very last document, making it official. And of course, she's here tonight giving birth." Ellie smiled, looking at Craig, who had sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall, asleep. She sat down next to him.
"Push! Push!" the doctor ordered. Marco turned to see the baby crowning. He placed his hand over his mouth about to vomit. One of the nurses grabbed him before he fainted. She quickly went to the sink and got him a cup of water.
"Weak stomach?" She asked, while Marco sipped the water.
"Push!" the doctor said louder. Lydia's grip on Dylan's hand grew tighter. He thought to himself I'm a hockey player, I know pain. Lydia pushed with all her might.
"It's a girl!" Marco walked out of the bathroom the second he heard the baby's cries. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever laid his eyes on.
