Stella's pov: today is my due date and still no signs of baby coming out yet. My doctor says everything still looks good and he'll come when you want to come. Me and Kelly are just waiting on the baby to come. We go for at least an hour walk everyday to help and I always been eating a lot of foods that can help too but so far nothing as worked. My doctor did tell me if I don't have him in the next week and half I will be induced. Because usually doctors don't want you to go over your due date more than two weeks. I just hope he comes soon because I don't think there's any more room for him to grow in this belly and mine is getting so uncomfortable.

Later on when Kelly came home from work ( Stella was sitting in the couch)

K= hey babe how you doing today
S= I'm okay but maybe you should tell your son to come out soon and I will be a lot better
K= if only he would listen for once but maybe he's trying to wait for the perfect moment to enter the world
S= Yea i guess you are right
K= wait say that again I am what
S= whatever dork I am not saying that again
K= ok but I read somewhere ( he leans in to whispered into Stella's ear) that sex might help induce labor too
S= KELLY SEVERIDE! (slaps him on his arm)
K= what I did read it somewhere that's if you are up to it
S= I feel so huge and ugly right now plus I am not in the mood to do that anymore
K= I get that totally babe but to me you are Beautiful no matter what plus it might help but that's totally up to you
S= I guess we could try it's not going to hurt so if you want us to star trying now of wait untill...

(before she could finish her sentence Kelly picked her up and brought her to the bedroom to have some fun)

General pov: over the next week they did everything they could to help start labor they took longer walks went to Mexican places every single day to eat more spicy foods had a lot of sex but nothing seemed to work until The middle of the night a week after her due date when Stella look up with really bad contraction
on March 22nd 2021

Kelly's pov: I have been asleep for almost 4 hours when I felt somebody shaking me awake

S= Kelly please wake up
K= umm what's wrong
S= I think it's time
K= really you think so
S= yeah I had this pain all day and I feel contractions every five minutes
K= okay I am awake now so what do you want me to do
S= well how about I go get changed and some comfortable clothes and get myself together while you go call your family and get the bags in the car
K= okay sounds like a plan

They both divide and conquer Kelly calls his family and they answer and they said they will meet them at the hospital. While Stella got some clothes on and brush her hair and teeth and then they both get in the car and drive toward med. they live within 10 minutes the first people they see when they walk in is Maggie and April

DR= dr. manning

NM= hey guys what's up
K= well Stella is having some contractions and we think she's in labor finally
NA= ok guys lets you too in a room while I check you out Stella so follow me guys
NM= I will page Dr. Manning
Stella and Kelly follow April into the room and April asked Stella change into a hospital gown while she goes to find Dr. Manning. April returns five minutes later with Dr. Manning with her.
DR= hey Stella how are you doing today
S= okay I think I am finally having this baby today so that means I will be better soon.
DR= I totally get it so let me check see how far you are dilated
S= okay
( dr. Manning checked her)
DR.M= so Stella it looks like you are between a 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 cm dilated so I ninja baby is on his way I'll come back and check on you in a few hours
S= ok thanks
DR= no problem
K= ( to Stella) I will be right back to see if anybody has showed up yet.
S= okay
Kelly went and seen if any of his family is in the waiting room and they were so he grab them and went back to the room.
S= hey guys can you believe his finally wanting to come out of me now
KM= yes I can't wait are you ready stella
S= yes I am
A couple hours later

general pov; Stella at least got comfortable enough to get at least an hour or so of sleep but then the contractions started to pick up. When she woke up but now it was the morning time that means they can call the firehouse family to come to the hospital because they're getting ready to get off shift at 7 AM. So he stepped out out of the room to call the chief so he can tell everybody the news and he didn't have to call every person that way. the chief picks up by the third ring

CB= hello
K= hey chief it's Kelly I'm calling to let you know Stella is finally in labor she went to labor in the middle the night and we want to wait until you guys were almost every shift before we called everybody so nobody would worry
CB= I understand that completely Kelly I will go to everybody before we all leave and we will see you soon good luck
K= thanks and see you guys soon

Boden's pov: once I'm off the phone with Kelly I want to the locker room where everybody was still is before they all leave so I can tell them the news all at once.

CB= can I have everybody's attention right now I have something to say
MC= what's up chief
CB= well I just got off the phone with Kelly and stella is in labor they are at the hospital right now
H= that's fantastic I will call Cindy right now she will be happy to meet us over there with maybe some food.
MC= all right guys let's get moving drop everything you already had planned for the day and let's go to the hospital and wait for the Wigle of the newest firemen that will be joining this family.
CB= I will meet you guys over there
H= ok Chief

Back at the hospital

Kelly's pov: once I got off the phone with chief I went into stone swimming and to check see how she was doing and how far along she came in the last couple hours

S= hey
K= hey so how are we doing here
NA= well your girl is already seven and she's been a real rockstar and does not want any epidural to help with the pain so hopefully in the next couple hours you'll have your son in your arms
K= that's awesome can't wait good job baby ( he gives her a kiss)

Stella's pov: once we arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night the pain wasn't too bad at first but it started picking up but it still wasn't so bad that I wanted pain meds so when April asked me when I was about halfway through the labors if I wanted an epidural but I said no because it's not as bad as I thought it would be and I can handle this pain pretty well. And then when she checked me and I was 7 water still didn't break so April how to break it for me when Kelly came back into the room after you called the guys he said that they should be here soon I said i can't wait. About 10 minutes later Kelly got a text on his phone that everybody was here so I said to go say hi to them and bring Brett back here so he did.

SB= hey girl how are you doing
S= i'm doing OK right now but I had Kelly bring you back here so I can ask you a question
SB= sure what's up
S= well how would you like to be in the room when your godsons born
SB= I would love that thank you for asking
S= you are welcome and thanks for saying yes

A couple hours later (April checked Stella to see how dilated she is)

NA= well Stella it looks like it's time to meet your son you are at a 10 so let me get everything prepped while I have a nurse paged Dr. Manning for me
S= ok thanks wow I can't believe it
K= me either are you ready
S= yes I am I can wait to see what our son looks like
K= me too
About 10 minutes later dr. Manning walks in the door

DR= guys ready to have this baby
Both= yes
DR= OK Stella and have you put your legs up here ( she pointed where she wanted Stellas legs to be ) and on every contraction you feel from here on out I'm gonna have you put your chin to your chest and push for 10 seconds
S= OK I think I know the drill
DR=of course you do ( everybody that is in the room laughs at Stella's statement)
S= OK here comes a contraction
( stella starts to push while everybody counts to 10 out loud)
Dr= OK great job Stella keep those coming
K= great Job babe( he leans over and kisses her temple)

She does the same thing for about a half hour

DR= good job Stella you got the head out now the hard part is next which is the shoulders so push with all you can
S= okay
K= show me how badass you are

So within the next five pushes Stella push the baby out.

DR= ITS A BOY!
Dr. Manning place the little baby on Stella's chest and then the baby started to cry so did Stella and Kelly.

S= oh my gob hey baby ( she kissed her baby for the first time)
K= hey son ( Stella and Kelly look at each other and then kiss each other on the lips) I love you
S= I love you too

As Stella and Kelly were bonding with their son Dr. Manning delivered the placenta and clean her up.

Brett's pov: One Stella gave birth I was amazed on how well she did and for one doing it without any pain meds I don't think I'd ever do that whenever I have a child so as Dr. Manning was cleaning her up I decided to leave the room and give Stella and Kelly some privacy while I go tell everybody that the baby has arrived I get to the waiting room.

H= here comes Sylvie
GD= hey Brett so what's the news
SB= The baby is here and is healthy
CH= that's fantastic So how did Stella do
SB= she did amazing she didn't have no pain meds at all she did it all naturally
H= wow such a badass Stella is she just had to show us how badass she is
SB= yes she is ( they all laugh and then a A minute later Brett gets a text message from Kelly) " Stella is all cleaned up now you can bring the gang back with you"
GD= so was that Kelly
SB= yes it was so how would you like to meet the newest family member of firehouse 51
H= hell yes lets go see our badass
CH= CHRISTOPHER( she hits the side of his arm)
MC= lets go

They followed Brett back to the room and she knocks on the door.

K= come in
They all pile into the room
CH= hey there mama you look amazing and that little guy is so adorable
S= thanks Cindy
Stella hand Kelly the baby so he can show off the baby.
K= so guys would you like to know his name
All= yes please
S= so I would like you all to me" shay Matthew severide"
K= Born at 11:11 AM and weighing in at 6 lbs. 4 oz. and was 18 inches long
GD= wow what a perfect name for this little guy and he so small I bet you Kelly came up with that name
S= no actually it was my idea gabby
MC=. That's great name I especially like that middle name
( everybody laughs)
K= of course you do buddy
S= so Jennifer would you love to be the first to hold your grandson
KM= yes please ( Kelly hand shay to his mom) oh stella he is perfect
S= thanks
BS= to me it looks like Kelly
S= that's what I said he has his eyes and his nose.
K= but he has Stella's mouth
KM= yes he does

Everybody got to hold baby Shay for a few minutes they all stayed for about two hours after they left it was just the new family of three. After they left Stella fell alseep for a while until she woke up a few minutes later when she heard Kelly talking to their son

K= (to shay) hey daddy what you might not know is how you got your name you were named after two very important people to me. One of those people if Shea which happens to be your first time she end up dying too soon but she'll be watching over you every day. Middle name comes after your uncle Matt he will love you unconditionally and take care of you like which means you got a name that you have to live up to which I think you will live up to times two. But what's most important about you is you got the best mom in the world who is totally bad ass she's the most bad ass person I know him much better at any job she does but don't tell her I said that that secret I stay between mean you because if not she will start teasing me about it later on
( Stella heard what he just said to their son and decide to speak up)
S= hey I heard that
K= uh oh Son mom is already listen in on our conversation
S= Haha very funny now get over here I want to cuddle with both of my boys
K= ok but scoot over

They just cuddled for the rest of the day and looking at their perfect little son.
