Chapter 22:
A/N:Skipping around on you in this chapter sorry!
Courtney and Nikolas was asleep when they got a phone call. "Hello?" Nikolas said as he answered the phone. "Okay.I will be right there." Nikolas said as he hung the phone up. "Who was that?" Courtney asked rolling over. "Lucky. Elizabeth went into labor and I need to go get Cameron from the house." Courtney just looked at him. He was out of the bed and putting some clothes on. "The lady that lives next door has work at two and she said that she would watch him until I got there." He said as he buckled his belt. "Okay." Courtney said. "Go back to sleep." Nikolas said as he came over and kissed his wife bye.
He opened the door. "Are you Nikolas?" the lady who was in her mid-fourties asked. "Yeah." "Okay. Here is his bag and Lucky said that he would call you in the morning." The lady said. "Okay. Thank you for watching him until I got here." Nikolas said. "I would have watched him all night but I got work soon but he is such a sweet little boy." The lady said as she stood up and walked towards the door. "And I want to also congratulate you." She said. "For what?" he asked. "Liz was telling me that you are expecting one of your own in May." she said. "Yeah we are. Thanks." "No problem." The lady said as she walked out. Nikolas went into Camerons room and took the sleeping baby from his bed and took him to the car.
He put Cameron in Nathan's bed because he saw that Nathan wasnt sleeping in there and in fact Nathan was in his bed. Nikolas walked into his bedroom and took off his jeans and put on his sleeping pants and climbed in the bed beside his son. He shifted the bed causing Courtney to wake up. "Did you get him?" she asked. "No I lefted him there and left him a note saying call your uncle in the morning." Nikolas said quietly. "Is he in Nathans bed?" She asked him. He nodded his head yes and then said "Why is Nathan in our bed?" "Because after you left he woke up and instead of me putting him back in his bed I wanted to be lazy and not get up." She said as he just smiled. They talked not to much longer before they drifted off in sleep.
Nikolas woke up a second time from the phone ringing. It was Lucky. Elizabeth had a little boy and wanted Nikolas to bring everybody down there when they all woke up. They were down at the hospital by ten thirty. "Hey." Nikolas said as he knocked on her door. "Hey. Come on in." Lucky said back. Cameron was in Nikolas arms and Nathan was in Courtney's. "Hey." Courtney said. "Wheres the baby at?" "He's in the nursery getting his first bath." Liz said. "What did yous name him. "Lucas Bryant" Liz said. "Oh." Courtney responded. "He was 7,7" she said "and 21 inches long." "Thats not to bad. Nathan was 7.9 I wanna say and only 20 inches long." Nikolas said. "Cameron was actually bigger but Lucas hurt more then Cameron did." Liz said.
"Yeah. The way this one eats she'll be pushing out a ten pound baby and we will be totally skipping the newborns clothes and straight into 3-6 months." Nikolas said. "I dont eat that much." Courtney said back. "What!" Nikolas said to that. "Alright listen to this. She had fruity peebles this morning at like eight and then on our way here we are coming up on a burger king and this is what I hear "Oh Im hungry baby can we stop and get some cinnie minnies please?" she said and I learned last week that you dont tell a pregnant women no so we stopped and got some." Nikolas said as Lucky and Liz started laughing. "How did you learn that one?" Lucky asked. "I dont even want to discuss it. It bring backs not so good memories." Nikolas said. They stayed at the hospital for about an hour before they had to go. They were going to keep Cameron for Elizabeth and Lucky until she got out of the hospital.
It was the begining of May. Carly had a baby girl just two weeks ago. Her name was Kara Ann. She was 7 pounds exactly and Courtney was told she was having a boy but Carly still swore it was a girl. Courtney was putting the crib together in the nursery.
"Hey babe what are you doing?" Nikolas asked when he walked into the nursery. "Sitting on my fat ass playing with a screwdriver you?" she asked. She was annoyed that he would ask her that when it was obvious. He just shook his head. "Want help?" he asked her. They havent been on each others good side between her hormones and everything else it just havent been good. "Nope Im almost done." she said. "Why dont you let me finish it so you can go take a nap." he said. "I've been doing it for the last hour by myself. Im almost done just let me finsh it." she said. "Is there anything you want me to do for you?" He asked her. "You can leave me alone that would be nice." She said. "Is that what you really want?" He asked. "Im not sure if I want you to leave me alone or to look at the front page of tomorrows news paper and read the headlines that says 'Man was killed with screw driver by pregnant wife. She pleads insanity." she said as she held up the screw driver. "Whatever." he said quietly as he walked out of the room.
He knew that they have been on the outs but he was trying hard.They hadnt been spending much time with each other lately either. She was stressed out from work and the baby was due in like two weeks and what not. He didnt know if she was really mad at him or was it just the pregnancy but he wished he knew. He went into his bedroom. Nathan was taking his nap. Nikolas decided to read over some papers for the family business since he was by hisself now and had nothing else to do.
He was laying in bed reading his papers when he felt the bed shift. He felt hands. He looked and it was his wife. He placed his papers on the night stand and looked at her. "Im sorry." she said as she looked back at him. "I know you didnt mean it." he said as he kissed her forehead. "Its just Im stressed out from the foundation and trying to get things done before the baby gets here, spending time with you and Nathan and it all gets to me." She said as she placed her head on his chest. "And then the baby hasnt moved all day and it scares me." she said. "Did you call the doctor?" He asked her. "Yes and she told me to wait until five and if the baby still hasnt moved then I need to go see her asap." she replied. "Oh." He said as he was now playing with her hair.
She moved so she was now holding her pregnant self up with her elbows. "I hate fighting with you and threating you with screw drivers." She said. "I hate fighting with you too." He said as he kissed her. "I guess we'll think twice again before having sex after the baby is born." She said. "No we wont. We will have more kids after the two we already have. You wont be as stressed out on the next one as you were on this one because I wont allow it." He said. "More kids? How many more would you like? The way your talking you want me pregnant for the greater part of the decade and unless you start popping out some you arent getting very many more." She said. He just laughed. "I love you." He said. "I love you too." She said back to him.
It was now almost five o'clock and they were eating dinner. "Mommy?" Nathan asked. "Yes sweetie." She answered. "I'm done can I go watch Madagascar?" He asked her. "Yes you may." she said. It was just her and Nikolas left at the table. "Has the baby moved since earlier?" He asked her. "No but Im going to finsh eating this piece of steak before I go in. It'll only take me about two minutes to finish and Im not going in an empty stomache." She said looking at the steak in front of her. "Okay. I'll call Lucky and tell him to meet us at the hospital so he can take Nathan for me." "Okay." She said back.
They were almost finish when the words "Oh my god." Came out of Courtney as her facial expression changed. "Whats wrong?" Nikolas asked her. "I Im having a contraction and my water just broke." She said as she gripped the table from the pain. "Are you sure?" Nikolas asked. "No Im wrong. I just pissed all over my self and got my shirt all wet." She said as she stood up. "Alright. Go ahead to the car and I'll get Nathan ." He said right before he ran out of the kitchen. "Whatever." She said as she made her way to the car.
They got to the hospital and Monica was there. She sat with Nathan until Lucky got there to pick him up. "You excited?" She asked the little boy. "Yeah. Is Uncle Lucky coming to get me?" He asked her. "Yes he is. Just dont give uncle Lucky to much trouble because if you do he'll cry like a little girl." Monica said. She knew Lucky since he was a little kid and first moved to Port Charles said. Nathan just laughed. "Hey." Lucky said as he walked over to them in the waiting room. "Hey Uncle Lucky." Nathan said. "Hey Lucky." Monica said as she stood up. "He's all yours." "Okay. How is she doing?" He asked his Monica. "Shes in the worst pain of her life how do you think shes doing?" She asked him. "Your right sorry. Keep me posted will you?" He said as he grabbed Nathan up from the seat. "I will." she said as she kissed Nathan goodbye. "Oh and tell Liz that if she doesnt want to work graveyard tonight to call me and I can find somebody else that way you wont have three little ones by yourself" Monica said. "I told her she probably wouldnt have too but she was like 'No I'll go and besides Courtney probably wont give birth until tonight and I want to see the baby' So I was like whatever." Lucky said. "Okay then tell her I'll see her tonight." Monica said as Lucky and Nathan got on the elevator. "Can do." He said right before the doors shut.
Courtney and Nikolas where in the room when the doctor same in. It was now eight. "Okay, Courtney you are already dialted four so you only have six more to go." The doctor said. "Any questions?" He asked her. "Yes. The baby is two weeks early. How bad is that?" She asked him. "Well you ate pretty healthy for the most part and the baby looks healthy so there shouldnt be anything wrong except the baby will probably be a premie but since its only two weeks off it should be a healthy one." He said as he looked at her chat. "Okay." She said. "I'll be back in just a moment. Im sending a nurse in." He said as he walked out the door. "You okay?" Nikolas asked her. "No these contractions hurt like a bitch." She said as she felt another one coming.
It was one o'clock the next morning. It was May 4 and the baby was born. "You have a baby girl." The doctor said as he passed the baby to get cleaned off by the nusres on duty. Elizabeth was one of them. "Wait did you say a girl?" Nikolas asked. "Yes you have a little girl." Elizabeth said as she brought the baby over to Courtney so she could hold her. "She weighs six pounds and eight ounces and shes twenty inches long with a head that is eleven inches around. She has dark hair and blue eyes on which I have a feeling that wont change but then again you never know" Elizabeth said.
After she gave birth Courtney got cleaned up and they moved her to a room. Nikolas called everybody and told them that Courtney gave birth to a healthy little girl but no name was picked out yet.Nikolas and Courtney were laying in the hospital bed with the baby talking ."So what are we going to name our little girl?" Nikolas asked. "I like the name Natalie. Its close to yours and Nathan's" she said as she held the baby. "Okay then Natalie it is and what about her middle name?" Nikolas asked. "I'll let you pick that one out." She said. "Okay." He replied. He thought for a minute and then said. "What about Michelle? Its close to Michael after your dad." he said. "Okay." she said back. They fell asleep quickly, well Courtney and the baby anyway Nikolas couldnt go to sleep. He laid there all night looking at his girls thinking about how much he loves them and Nathan.
A/N: How do you like it. There probably wont be but like ten more chapters unless you's reallywant me to write more but I dout it. My writing has gotten pretty sucky lately and I realized that so yeah anyway reviews are always good and I obviously have never given birth I am only sixteen or I will be in two months anyway so I made it as real as I know it which is only what my sisters tell me (I have two nieces and four nephews) so until I have kids I wont be able to write good enough details so bear with me please!
