Week 14

Week 8

Elizabeth waddled to the door. Stefanie stood there. She already had a large belly. It amused Elizabeth.

"I need some sugar." She said. Elizabeth chuckled and stepped aside.

"How are you feeling?" She asked.

"I feel like I'm fourteen weeks with a ten pound baby." Stefanie said. Elizabeth couldn't help but to laugh, "I have an ultrasound in a couple of weeks."

"Maybe you're having twins again." She said as she poured some sugar into a cup.

"Doubt it. Hey, Andy told me about Ethan the other day." Stefanie said.

"Shocking I know." Elizabeth, "They'll be fine though."

"I hope so." Stefanie said as Elizabeth handed her the sugar, "Thanks. Go lay down."

"I was." Elizabeth said. Stefanie smiled slightly.

"Sorry." Stefanie walked to the door. Elizabeth stopped with a groan.

"Oh God." She moaned. Stefanie turned around.

"Lizzie, are you okay?" Stefanie asked. Elizabeth shook her head.

"Contraction." She moaned. Stefanie ran to her side.

"Contraction? Real one?" She asked. Elizabeth moaned loudly, "Okay! Let's get you into my car."

"Call Mike." Elizabeth moaned.

"I will. Lets just get you to the hospital." Stefanie said as she led her out. Andy stood up from her porch swing when she saw them.

"Is everything okay?" Andy asked.

"She's in labour." She said. Andy gasped,

"Brandon!" Andy cried.

12:15pm

Michael ran into the hospital room. Elizabeth began to cry when she saw her husband.

"I thought you would never come." Elizabeth sobbed. Michael took her hands and kissed them.

"I'm sorry. I was at a site and I didn't have my cell.' He said. Michael leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"We're having our little girl." Elizabeth smiled tearfully.

"Finally." He chuckled, "The boys are so excited." Elizabeth began to relax back against the pillows. "I think Evan is really excited to get a little sister the most."

"I know." Elizabeth chuckled, "I don't think Dylan understands that a baby is coming. He wanted a bird to come."

"He'll love Kiara." Elizabeth chuckled, "He'll be so great. He's loving."

"I know." Michael said, "We have some wonderful kids." He put his hands on her belly and pressed his lips to it. "Hopefully this one will be just as great."

"We're going to go through the sleepless nights and dirty diapers again." Elizabeth chuckled. She smirked at the look upon Michael's face. "Don't give me that look."

"What look?" Michael asked.

"You'll get up at 3 am with this baby and change her diapers. She'll be Daddy's little girl." Michael smiled brightly.

"It's going to be wonderful. My baby girl." Michael said.

"Oh god…" Elizabeth started to tense up. Michael took her hand and squeezed.

"Breath, Baby." He said.
"Shut up." Elizabeth moaned letting the Contraction run it's coarse. Through her body. She began to relax again.

"Are you okay?" Michael whispered. Elizabeth nodded.

"I will be when this baby comes." She said.

"I know." he chuckled.

3:27pm

Evan led Dylan into the room. Elizabeth brightened up when she saw her boys.

"Come here!" Elizabeth extended her arms. Dylan ran into them.

"The baby is still in there?" Dylan asked her. Elizabeth chuckled.

"It'll be a while yet until she gets out of mommy's belly." She said. Michael looked at Evan.

"How are you holding up?" Michael asked.

"I'm a Walsh. I'm pretty good." Evan said. Michael laughed as he wrapped his arm around Evan's shoulders.

"You know, I'm counting on you." He said. Evan looked at him.

"For what?" Evan frowned.

"There's going to be a brand new baby girl in the family." Michael said, "She's not going to be like Dylan. Little girls are different."

"How so?" Evan cocked his eyebrow. Michael smiled. Evan reminded him a lot of himself.

"She'll be looking to you differently than Dylan looks at you. She'll want you to protect her. She'll choose her future husband based on how you treat her." Michael said. Evan growled.

"I pity her then." Evan said. Michael chuckled.

"Promise me that you'll take care of her." Michael said serious. Evan groaned.
"I will, Dad. Geez." He said.

"Thanks, Buddy." Michael said as he looked over to the bed. Elizabeth was very pale. She was obviously trying to hold the contraction pain in so she wouldn't scare Dylan. Michael went over and picked Dylan up. "Come on Tiger. Let's go see Uncle Brandon."

"Okay." Dylan said, "Bye Mommy."
"Bye…" Elizabeth whispered as she closed her eyes. The contraction was painful. The time was alone here.

5:21 pm

Michael wiped her forehead with a wet cloth. She was in so much pain.

"No more babies." Elizabeth moaned.

"Good." Michael smiled. Sure babies were cute, but three would be plenty. Dr. White walked in with a smile.

"How are you feeling, Mrs. Walsh?" He asked.
"I would really like to have this baby." She groaned.

" Okay. Let me see how much you've dilated. Alright?" He asked Elizabeth nodded.

"Okay." She whispered. Michael took his wife's hand. He hated seeing other men's hands between her legs.

"All right." Dr. White said, "You're eight centimeters dilated." Elizabeth moaned louder.

"I want to have her now." She said.

"In an hour or so all right?" Dr. White asked her.

"Okay." Michael said, "Thank you, Dr. White."

"You're welcome." He said. "I'll check on you again soon." Dr. White left. Elizabeth began to cry.

"Shhh. It'll be all right." He said, kissing her head. "He said it'll happen soon."

"I want her out now. I want to hold her." Elizabeth said, "Will She have red hair or brown? What colour eyes will she have Michael?"

"We'll find out soon enough, Lizzie. I promise." Michael said. He was so excited to see the baby too.

7:03 pm

Elizabeth was groaning loudly. She was pale and sweating. Michael stared at her.

"How are you doing?" He asked. Elizabeth could only moan, "Elizabeth?" He took her hand as Dr. White walked in.

"How is she doing?" He asked.

"I think she's ready." Michael said.

"God, yes." She moaned.

"All right. Let me have a look first." Dr. White looked between her legs, "Let's get her prepped. She's ready to push." Michaels' face brightened up.

"She can push?" Michaela sked. Dr. White nodded as he washed up.

"On the next contraction you need to push, Elizabeth." Dr White said.

"Thank God." Elizabeth moaned. Michael smiled softly as he kissed her hand.

"We're having her." Michael said as she began to groan.
"Push Elizabeth." Dr White said as he put some gloves on.

"Good." She moaned as she began to push. Michael's heart beat rapidly. This was it.

"That's it Lizzie." He whispered. "Push. Push her out."

"Shut up." Elizabeth groaned loudly.

"I'm not going to shut up. Push Elizabeth." Michael said. Elizabeth groaned and exhaled.

"God. I cant do this again Mike. Can you have her?" She asked. Michael chuckled.

"No, Darling." he said. Dr. White sat down in front of her.

"You're doing wonderfully, Elizabeth. He said, "She groaned as she looked at him.

"What do you know?" She hissed.

"I've been helping women give birth for twenty years now." He smiled softly at her.

"Okay." She whimpered. Elizabeth began to push again.

"That's it." Michael whispered.

"You're crowning, Elizabeth." Dr White said. Elizabeth exhaled.

"I need her out. Need her out." She moaned.

"Soon, Elizabeth. I need you to bear down and push as hard as you can." Dr White said. Elizabeth whispered something inaudibly.

"Come on, Baby." Michael whispered.

"Oh God." elizabeth moaned as she pushed hard. Sweat poured down her back. She held Michael's hand so tight he thought every bone would break.

"Beautiful." Dr. White said, "Suction please."

"Please Hurry." She whimpered.

"Push, Elizabeth. Her head is out. You need to pass her shoulders." Dr. White said. Michael kissed her head.

"You're doing wonderfully, Liz." He said. Elizabeth shuddered and pushed.

"No…Tired…So…Tired…" Elizabeth whispered.

"Push, Lizzie." Michael commanded. Elizabeth took in a deep breath and pushed as had as she could.

"That's it. Beautiful." Dr. White grabbed a towel. "Harder, Elizabeth. That's it." She pushed harder and Dr White gently pulled the baby the rest of the way out. Elizabeth exhaled with relief. "It's a girl."

"our girl." Michael whispered as Dr White held up the screaming baby girl. Elizabeth looked down.

"Oh!" She extended her arms.

"Here you go." The nurse wrapped her up in a pink blanket. She then placed the baby on Elizabeth's chest. Elizabeth cried gently.

"Kiara Beth…" Michael whispered. He bent down and kissed Kiara's curly brown hair. God, Michael thought his heart would burst. This was his little girl. Someone who would need him. His little princess.
