Chapter 48
"For a Moment"
Deanna has been moved to a bio-bed Will was laying down next to Deanna. She was resting comfortably a few contractions kept her awake most of the night. Campbell administered a sedative to help her get some sleep. Will himself was exhausted, Lily was safely with her friend's parents. Deanna stirs in her sleep which causes Will to wake up. A few seconds later Deanna is awake.
"Are you okay?"
"I think I was having a contraction in my sleep. Is that even possible?"
"I'm sure it was. I will contact Doctor Campbell and have her check you out."
"No really Will, I can hardly feel the contractions. Although the magnesium is making me sick."
"Do you want something incase...well you know."
"Doctor Campbell said that the magnesium I was given could make me sick. There is a basin over there on the counter why don't you go get it for me. Just in case."
"Sure. I'll be right back don't move."
"Where am I going to go Will? I'm not aloud to move around the ship I am on strict bed rest until the baby comes. Hopefully on her original due date."
Will soon come back to the bed with the basin and hands it to Deanna, apparently just in time as the magnesium finally kicked in and Deanna vomited into the basin. Will didn't turn away instead he held her hair. When she was finished she groaned softly.
"Are you okay honey?"
"And I thought morning sickness was over with. I wish Doctor Campbell would give me something to settle my stomach."
"I could contact her if you feel that the medication is to much for you."
"No really Will, its 0400 hours she needs her sleep. I think if I can handle 25 weeks of morning sickness a few more days couldn't be that bad right?"
"I guess I just hate the way you are feeling."
"I'm okay now Will, why don't you put this in replicator and get a new one just incase I need it again."
Will nods and does as was asked. A few minutes later they both are asleep in each other's arms again, Resting their hands on their baby. Only a few more weeks and you can come they both thought.
The next day Lily comes into Sickbay to see how her mother is doing.
"How are you mommy any more contractions?"
"No sweety they stopped. The Doctor said I can come home today but I have to stay in bed."
"You mean you don't have to stay here until Emilee is born?"
"Not anymore I spoke to Doctor Campbell and she said your mommy could come home and wait until the baby comes. I have to get a few more things but I will be right back."
Lily nods as Will places her on the bed with her mother. Lily like the child she was placed her hand on her new baby sister.
"Now you stay in there Emilee you need to get bigger before you come out."
Deanna smiles as her daughter places her ear on her stomach. It was a touching moment.
