Chapter 13

"Are you sure about this guy, Donna?" Josh asked again.

"For the final time, yes. Both Doctor Bartlet and the Surgeon General recommended him as the best OB/GYN in the area," she said rolling her eyes.

"And you…"

"Yes, I did a background check on him, and googled him. Everything came out fine. Plus, I like his name."

"Doctor Daniel Harrison? What's comforting about that?"

"I don't know! It just is! Do you really want to tempt the wrath of a pregnant woman?" she growled.

"I'm shutting up."

Josh flipped through a magazine, becoming impatient at the amount of time they had been waiting. Finally a nurse popped through the door.

"Donnatella Lyman." Donna and Josh followed the plump woman into the examining room. She proceeded to take Donna's weight and blood pressure. "The doctor will be with you shortly. You can change into this gown, there's a private room over there," she said before leaving. Donna walked over to the area.

"Need some help?" Josh asked, smirking. She glared at him. "Ok, never mind then." He took a seat and started to fiddle with some of the instruments and doctor-ly stuff around. He cringed at one particular item and put it quickly down as the door opened and Donna entered, sitting on the examining table in just the gown. She smiled at him.

"You were touching things again, weren't you Josh?" He smiled back.

"That is what got us here in the first place." She laughed and his smile grew wider.

"Smiling faces, that's what I like to see. Hi, I'm Dr. Harrison," the gray haired older man said, entering, and shaking Donna and then Josh's hand.

"Donna Lyman."

"Josh Lyman."

"Ok, let's get started," Dr. Harrison said, washing his hands and approaching Donna. Josh walked up towards her and held her hand. He knew that this was a doctor but he still didn't like any man looking at her. After a few minutes, and some cringing from both the parents, the doctor finished his exam. "Everything's fine. Why don't you get dressed, Donna, and I'll meet you two in the office?"

"Sure." Josh helped Donna up and she held onto his hand, dragging him into the dressing room.

"Now you can help me," she murmured, capturing his lips. He laughed into her mouth but kissed her back.

"I just don't seem able to keep up with you," he said when they pulled apart. "And some other guy just touched you, ew."

"Yeah, but not the way you touch me." She sighed. "But he's waiting for us, I guess we don't have enough time," she said and shoved him out of the room, shutting the door behind him. He leaned against it and groaned. She was seriously killing him.

The couple walked into the empty doctor's office and sat down. Josh stared at one of the photos adorning Dr. Harrison's desk. In it there was a smiling elderly man with his arm around, what Josh presumed to be, his beaming wife.

"Hello, again," Dr. Harrison said, walking into the room and sitting down.

"Is this woman's name Jean?" Josh asked, pointing at the picture.

"Yes," the doctor replied.

"And the man's name is Dan, right?" Donna inquired. Neither was sure how they knew the names of the people in the picture.

"Yeah…" Dr. Harrison said. "That's my grandmother and grandfather, Jean and Dan Harrison, I was named after him. Do you…know them?" he asked hesitantly.

"No," Josh answered.

"But they look really familiar," Donna said, looking even closer at the picture.

"They both died in 1959, a few days apart." Dr. Harrison smiled at the thought of his grandparents. "They were truly in love, two of the nicest people I have ever met." He looked at his patient and her husband. "They actually kind of remind me of you, the way you banter and all." The doctor's face turned a little red. "Sorry, I overheard you in the waiting room, I didn't mean to…well, let's get onto your results." Josh and Donna nodded their heads. They listened to the doctor speak, but never let the thought of the older couple leave their minds.

Six Months Later…

"Let's do this!" Josh clapped his hands together, as he rushed Donna out the door, carrying her hospital bag. Donna's water had broken a few minutes ago but the contractions were coming fast so it wasn't a surprise when Josh got to GW Hospital and checked Donna in in record time. Doctor Harrison walked through the door just as another contraction hit Donna who was squeezing Josh's hand.

"I know it hurts, babe, but really, honey, ow, my hand, I want to be able to cut the umbilical cord," Josh said, trying to get his hand out of Donna's Hercules like grasp.

"Do you ever want to have sex again?" Donna said through tightly clenched teeth. Josh nodded his head. "Then I get to hold your hand because you did this to me!"

"Hey! I wasn't the only one there!" Josh replied indignantly. Donna ignored him as the contraction finally ended and her grip on his hand loosened. He immediately ripped it out saying, "give me that!" This made her laugh, a welcome relief after the pain she had endured. Once again he beamed at her.

"Hey guys," Doctor Harrison said and they finally noticed his presence. He chuckled. "You two really are like them."

"Who?" Josh questioned.

"Sorry, my grandparents, I know I told you this before, but it's seriously uncanny." He paused as he put on rubber gloves. "Let's see how far along you are, Donna," he said pulling his rolling seat forward and taking a peak. "You're at five centimeters; once you hit six we can give you the epidural and you're nearly on your way!"

"You could never do this," she said turning towards Josh. Dr. Harrison just laughed.

Noah Daniel Lyman was lying in his mother's arms, both of his parents looking down at him adoringly.

"Thank you for this, Donna," Josh says leaning down to kiss his wife. "You're right; I never could have done this." Donna chuckled.

"We women do what men can't," she replied. "I'm just happy he's finally here."

"Me too. Healthy and handsome, just like his father."

"One day your head is going to explode, Joshua."

"As long as you're there to pick up the pieces, I have nothing to worry about."

A/N: Sorry this took so long, I was reading the new Harry Potter (amazing, you should all read it). I think there's only one more chapter to go. I hope you're still enjoying it, please review.
