Chapter 15
"Ow." Lil moaned getting up off the couch. She walked towards the fridge as Phil came in.
"Lil!" he said. "Sit! I'll get you anything you need."
"Okay, thanks." Lil said and sat back down. "I just wanted an aspirin."
"Okay." Phil said. "Why do you keep them on top of the fridge?"
"Cause Dil is too short to reach them. Remember the time he got addicted to them?" Lil said.
"Yeah." Phil said opening the bottle.
"Hi." Laura said wiping a tear away as she walked in. Lil looked at her, then at Phil. "Ooh. Lil. You got fat."
"Why you little!" Lil said getting up as they heard something. "You hear that?"
"Yeah." Phil nodded then looked where Lil was standing. "Hey, what the hell is that?" he pointed below Lil.
"I think her water broke." Laura said.
"Aw, crap!" Lil said. "I was suppose to meet Ange for lunch."
Phil, Tommy, Lil, Laura and Angelica ran into the hospital. "Um, yeah, " Tommy said to the clerk, "my wife as babies coming out of her so if you could do something, please."
"Have you had any contractions?" the clerk asked.
"No." Lil said. "What are those, again?" she whispered to Angelica. Her eyes widened as she felt pain. "Owwwww." she groaned. "Hey. That wasns't too bad."
"Hi, I'm doctor Bribes." a doctor came up. Phil and Laura giggled to his name.
"Yeah, cool." Lil said. "Now, I've got a person in me so get me in the damn room!"
"Hey guys." Chuckie ran in followed by Dil. Angelica and Laura were in the waiting room. "Well?"
"She's still in there. She's only had two contractions." Angelica said.
"Can we go in?" Dil asked.
"Uh, yeah." Angelica said. "Duh."
Chuckie and Dil went into the room. "Ow ow ow ow!" Tommy moaned as Lil squeezed his hand. "Contraction!"
"Yeah." Phil shrugged. "She's had several in the last few minutes."
"Ooh." Lil smiled. "Its gone."
"Thank God!" Tommy said holding his hand and walked out.
"So, Lillian, you nervous?" Phil asked his sister. She shook her head. "Really?"
"Yeah." Lil said. "I'm excited. I'm gonna be a mom."
"Yeah," Phil said. "And me an uncle."
"Me too." Dil said.
"Not me, but we can still call me Uncle Chuckie." Chuckie smiled.
"Hey." Angelica said as Tommy sat down next to her.
"Hey." he said. "I cant believe it."
"What?" Laura asked.
"A dad. A father." Tommy said. "Im gonna be one."
"Have you even thought of names?" Angelica asked.
"I'm so sorry I'm late!" Susie ran in. "So?"
"She hasn't had him yet." Tommy said.
"Well?" Angelica said. "Names?"
"Names. Not really. I"ve always like Tommy Jr." Tommy said.
"Uh, no. How about Til, or Lommy?" Laura asked. "Tillian! Lhomas!"
"That is so lame." Susie said. "Chase."
"Chase what?" Tommy asked.
"Chase Pickles." Susie said.
"What? Is Chase actually a name?" Angelica asked. Susie nodded. "Ooh. I should probaly go apologize to that doctor." Angelica said and walked away.
"Kile." Tommy said.
"Nah." Laura and Susie said in unison.
"Tim."
"Nah."
"Jake."
"Nah."
"Justin."
"Nah."
"Mike."
"Hmmm."
"Mikey?" Tommy asked. "Mikey."
"Hey!" Laura yelled. "Its almost like Mickey!" she said. Tommy and Susie stared at her. "Or not."
"Hmm." Tommy thought.
"Mikey Pickles." Susie said.
"I dont know, maybe. " Tommy said. "Mikey."
"Okay," Doctor Bribes said. "PUSH!"
Lil, Phil, Chuckie, and Dil stared at the man. "huh?" Chuckie asked.
"Just a practice." Doctor Bribes said. His beeper then started beeping. "Ooh. Gotta go." he said and left.
"Wait," Lil said. Another man then walked in. "Oh kill me now." Lil groaned.
"Hello." Dr. Wallace grinned. "Hi Mrs. Pickles."
"Hello Wallace." Lil groaned.
"Who are you?" Dil asked.
"Wallace is the name. Tommy's probaly told you about me." Wallace said.
"No." Phil shook his head.
"He's the snake guy!" Lil yelled.
"Oh." Dil said. "OHHH!"
"The dude with the snake and the buying and the...biting?" Chuckie asked.
"Yep." Wallace said. "Anyway, looks like we're ready to begin. We're at ten centimeters."
"Come on, T." Phil yelled.
Tommy, Susie, Angelica, and Laura ran in. "Hey!" Wallace yelled.
"AHHHH!" Tommy screamed.
"If you're not a husband, get out!" Wallace shouted. Everyone but Tommy left the room. "The little sucker's on its way."
"Okay, honey, push! Push!" Tommy said as Lil grabbed his hand. "Oh please God, PUSH!" he yelled as she squeezed his hand. "Ahwa!" Tommy shouted.
Wallace and Lil looked at him. "What the hell was that?" Lil asked.
"Sorry." Tommy shrugged. "Ah! I cant do this!"
"Hey sport." Stu Pickles walked up to Tommy who was sitting on the steps in front of the hospital. "Where's Lil?"
"Having my kid. Angelica's in there with her." Tommy said. "What are you doing here, dad?"
"Come to see my grandson." Stu said. "When he gets here."
Tommy smiled at his father. "Whats it like?" Tommy asked. Stu looked confused. "Being a dad, I mean."
"Oh." Stu said. "Well, its a hard thing to define. But, when you were born, you looked at me with your big blue eyes and you smiled. You smiled big. You used your hand and grabbed my finger and I could have sworn you hugged my finger." Tommy smiled and Stu contiunued. "Of course Dil was different. He cried when he was born. And alot. You cried, but not much."
"Tommy!" they heared Angelica.
Tommy and Stu ran in and saw Lil holding a baby boy. "When we cut the cord," Wallace said. "We thought we cut something else." he chuckled.
"But you didn't?" Tommy asked.
"No. We cut the cord, not its thing." Wallace said.
"Name. Need a name." Phil said.
"I like Mikey." Tommy said.
"That sucks." Phil said.
"I dont know. I like it, sort of." Lil said. "Little Mikey. Mike. Michael. Mikey."
