Two months had past and Tommy was now sitting next to his wife who was in labor. She was in pain from the contractions that he knew, he could see it on her face. Every wince she made he squeezed her hand in reassurance. The Doctor and Nurses came in to check on her every half an hour to make sure everything was going well. Inara groaned and shifted, gripping Tommy's hand tightly."Oh man this hurts so much.." she stated wincing as she rubbed her stomach.
"It shouldn't be too long before your water breaks then it will go by so much quicker." Tommy reassured. Tommy's parents came running in about five minutes later with smiles on their faces. They were followed by Inara's father, who was just as excited for the new addition that was coming.
"Ooooohhh I can't wait!" Mrs. Oliver shrieked happily."I can't wait to see my grandbaby!"
"Calm down, darling, we are just as excited as you are." Mr. Oliver chuckled and patted his wife on the shoulder."Inara, sweety, is everything going okay?' Mr. Evans asked worriedly."I'm so sorry your mother couldn't be here she's out of town in New York for her job." Mr. Evans continued and brushed a lock of her hair out of her face. Inara smiled the best she could and nodded.
"It's okay dad.. oww. I know, and everything's fine." Inara winced and tightened her grip on Tommy's hand."How long have you been in labor, dear?" Mrs. Oliver asked.
"So far, fifteen hours and still counting." Inara responded and groaned.
The dorr opened to reveal the doctor with a smile on his face and greeted the new visitors and went to check the machines and see how Inara was doing."Well, everything looks normal so far, shouldn't much longer before your water breaks I'd give it another ten to fifteen minutes, if not sooner."
And just as the doctor predicted fifteen minutes later her water broke and now they had to wait for her to dialate ten centimeters and her contractions to get closer together before they could start.
"Oh God, when can we get started, I can't stand this much longer." the woman winced and held on even tighter to Tommy's hand, which was losing circulation and turning a slight blue color. Tommy winced and pried her fingers opened. Pulling his hand from her grasp he flexed his fingers and moved his hand around to get the blood flowing again.
The doctor came in once again with the nurses an hour later and announced that they could start and Inara sighed in relief as much as she could."Finally!"
Tommy stood up and their parents moved out of the way, but still wher ethey could see." All right dear, when we say push you push and hold it until I count to ten, okay?" the Doctor stated. Inara nodded and took a deep breath. Placing a gently kiss on her brow Tommy held onto her hand, finally getting the feeling back into it.
"Alright ready, now push!"
And that's exactly what she did, the nurse counting and when she got to ten Inara stoped pushing, her face turning slightly red from the stress."Good job, now again, push!" he said. Tommy was coaxing her, holding her hand his eyes filled with excitement and worry. he whispered gentle words and "I love you, your doing great." every few minutes.
"You're doing great, we're almost done, almost done a few more pushes and you'll be able to meet your child."
Inara continued on pushing whenever they told her and the doctor informed them that the head was crowning and soon enough the head was out and the cleared the fluids from its nose and mouth. Then, with one final push and a loud scream from inara, the baby was born. Inara let out a breath and fell backwards onto the hospital bed and smiled."Mr. Oliver, Mrs. Oliver, you have a son." the doctor announced. The nurse clamped the emblical cord and asked Tommy to clip it."Alright, Daddy, now cut here." the nurse exclaimed. Tommy took the surical scissors and cut the cord. The nurse then placed a blue blanket onto Inara's chest and placed the baby in her arms. inara smiled, tears falling from her eyes as she held her son.
"He's so beautiful." Inara sobbed and looked up at Tommy."Yes he is, he's incredible." Tommy whispered happily and laid his hand onto his son's forehead.
The doctor then took the baby and the measured him and weighed him. They got his foot prints and cleaned the baby, putting a diaper and a blanket with socks and a little hat before returning him to his parents.
"So what will you name the little one here?" the nurse asked as she handed Tommy his son.
"Tristan, Tristan Micheal Oliver." Tommy answered, giving the nurse the name they decided for their baby. Mr. Oliver grabbed the disposable camera and took a picture of the new family.
Adam and Tanya, followed by Jason and Trini rushed into the delivery room patning and with an excited look on their faces."Did we miss it!" Jason questioned, out of breath from running."Yes," Tommy laughed and motioned to the baby in his arms."Dammit! I Told you we should've left at 5:00 A.M.!" Adam glared at Jason."Oh shut your face, we couldn't find a baby sitter and we had to take the kids over to Trini's parents house."
"You could've brought them along you know!" Adam argued/"They would've gotten into things!" Jason defended."Oh shut up both of you!" Tanya and Trini shouted causing them both to shut up. Tommy leaned over to his wife and whispered." It's a yellow thing." that caused Inara to laugh. Baby Tristan opened his green eyes and looked up at Tommy."He's a spinning image of you, Tommy, only with Inara's eyes." Trini smiled as she cooed the little one.
"He's so adorable!" Tanya giggled.
"Oh, Joseph isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen!" Mrs. Oliver asked her husband.
"Indeed he is, Laura." Mr. Oliver relpied.
"He's precious," Mr. Evans smiled and placed a kiss onto Inara's forehead as she drifted off to sleep, tired from giving birth.
