LucreziaNoin86- I'm so glad you think my story is worth the wait! Sorry it's taken so long! I promise to pick this story up and, hopefully, have an update every week!

angeldanielle- I'm so happy you've enjoyed my series! It's nice to know that people actually enjoy my writing!

With everyone rushing, we got to the hospital in 5 minutes flat. I was the only calm person, besides the kids who had NO idea what was happening, so I took charge.

There was a wheelchair waiting outside for Liz once we got there. She was rushed in while we made our way to the waiting room. Max was frantic and it was annoying, but I didn't blame him. I was the same way when I was in labor, so was Micheal. It was only natural.

"Max, you filled out all the paperwork, why aren't you back there with Lizzie? I'm sure she wants you with her right now," I said gently.

Max looked at me with such fear in his eyes. "Maria, I don't know if I can do this! I'm flipping out! I mean, I already have a kid out there somewhere and look at how terrible of a father I've been to him! Can't you go in there? I'm not ready!"

I stood up and put my hands on his shoulders. "Okay, first off? BREATHE MAX! Deep breaths," Max followed my instructions and his heart slowed down some. "Good. Now, about that other kid you have out there. You've been trying to find him all year, Max, and if that's not a good father, I don't know what is. You are going to be a GREAT father to this baby, you are SO ready!"

Max shook his head. "Ria, please. Go in there and be her best friend. I promise I'll be there soon."

I gave him a look. "If you aren't in there in 10 minutes, I'm coming to get you," I threatened then went to see Liz. She looked exhausted; sweat dripped from her forehead. Her father was sitting beside her, holding her tiny hand in his large one. I didn't say anything, but Liz saw me and smiled, but her eyes showed me how scared she really was. "How ya doin', chica?"

Mr. Parker looked up, happy tears in his eyes. "Hey, Ria! Come to take over my job for a while?"

"Only if you want to go, but I'll be staying, too," I sat down on the other side of Liz and grabbed her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I'll just let you two talk while I go talk to my surrogate grandkids and tell them I'm gonna be a grandpa!" I've never seen that man so happy as he did leaving that room.

I turned my attention back to the pregnant girl beside me. She looked like she was gonna cry. "Lizzie? Are you okay? Are you in pain right now? Want me to get Max?"

"Maria! You're babbling! I'm fine... just scared... out of my mind! Ria, how did you do it? Better yet, how'd you do it for 3 kids!"

I pointed to myself. "Me? I'm teflon, babe. And so are you. You'll get through this. So, theres going to be pain, I won't deny that. I don't think I'd be able to because I think EVERYONE heard my cursing at Micheal. But once you hold that baby in your arms, all the pain you felt... just, disappears," I shrugged. "It's the best feeling in the world, Lizzie. Knowing that you and the person you love most in the world made this beautiful little baby. Nothing can beat that."

"You're right, Ria. I mean, when I saw you and you had your babies in your arms, you couldn't stop smiling. You were so happy, and I know I'll be the same way," Liz wiped her tears and I felt better knowing she was happy again.

"And I'll be happy, too," we turned to the door to see Max, tears streaming down his face, "Maria, that was such a great speech, so true. The look on Micheal's face is the same that I'm gonna have when Liz is having my baby. I never said it, but I was very envious of Micheal that day, but now I have no reason to be," Max took his place beside Liz and I took that as my cue to leave.

I passed by Mr. Parker, who gave me Nathan as I went by, somehow sensing I wanted to be with my whole family. I sat down next to Micheal and took Mikey from his arms, holding him close and kissing his forehead. "Thank you, Micheal."

I felt him shift his weight, as to not wake Brendan who was still in his arms, and wrap an arm around me. "Why are you thanking me?"

"You helped me create three beautiful baby boys, and a gorgeous little girl on the way," I turned to look into his eyes, not afraid to let my tears fall. "I'm never gonna be able to thank you enough for them; they are the most precious gifts you've ever given me."

Micheal kissed me softly on the lips. "I can't thank you enough for having them, or marrying me. I love you, Maria. Without you and the boys and my little girl on the way, I wouldn't be complete," he said softly, as if he was afraid of making himself cry.

"I love you, too, Micheal. So much," I replied and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt my breath start to even out and my eyes get heavy as I fell into a deep sleep.

"Maria? Baby, wake up," Micheal nudged my shoulder and I opened my eyes, slowly focusing on him. "Liz had her baby and she wants us in there."

"Well, who's gonna stay with the boys? They can't go in there, the doctors around here won't let them in!" I sat up, careful not to wake the boys just yet.

"We can take them with us, who cares what the doctors say? We'll sneak them in and they'll get a glimpse of their new cousin," Micheal said and woke them all up before I could protest. They were all very excited to see the new baby that I couldn't deny them in going.

When we reached the room Liz and Max were alone with their baby. I gave Micheal a questioning look and he said, "everyone else left. They all got a turn alone with them and now it's our turn." I nodded and looked at the new parents who were smiling at us.

"Come on in, you guys. Come look at my beautiful baby girl," Max said proudly. "Marie Isabella Evans."

I gasped and Liz said, "I couldn't of thought of a better name, besides Maria, of course. You're my best friend and I wanted her to have a part of you with her always."

I knew there were tears streaming down my face, but I didn't care. I walked over and gave her the best hug I could, careful not to hurt the baby. "Oh, Liz! I can't believe you did that! Thank you," I pulled back and she was crying, too.

I held my namesake and she looked up at me with her big brown eyes and yawned. She was one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen. I could tell that she would be an exact replica of Liz, except with Max's ears and mouth.

After about 10 minutes holding her, I gave her back to Liz and said we had to get the boys home and into bed. I found all three of them asleep on the chairs in the room. Micheal carried Brandon and Nathan with I carried Mikey and we got into the car, heading home.

The boys were all tucked in their beds and I made my way to our bed, Micheal right behind me. I snuggled into his arms, amazed as always at how well I fit there, as if we were made for each other. I smiled at the thought and kissed his throat, making my mark on his neck.

I heard him growl and I pulled back. "Baby, don't start something that we can't finish," Micheal said and kissed me passionately. I moaned into his mouth. I felt a kick at my stomach and pulled back suddenly. "Maria? Are you okay?"

I shushed him and grabbed his hand. "Feel this, baby," I placed it on my stomach and looked into his eyes. He was simply grinning like an idiot as his little baby girl was kicking his hand. "Amazing, isn't it?"

Micheal just shook his head. "You never cease to amaze me. I wouldn't expect anything less from our kid."

I smiled and snuggled back into his arms after the kicking stopped. "I love you, Micheal."

He kissed the top of my head. "I love you, baby. Get some sleep," he said and rubbed my back, helping me fall fast asleep.

Time to review, everyone! PLEASE tell me how I'm doing!
