Terrans! How've you been? What's it been, like less than two hours Anyway, sad news, we're reaching the end of the story, but don't worry, for 2 reasons; 1. It isn't over yet, and 2, I have something that's been cooking in the back of my head for a few days now and its getting out soon.
Anyway, other than that, enjoy!
'' Ah! Jace, get me to the hospital now!'' Ally shrieked. In the last 34 minutes, Jace had not only changed from a sleep shirt and boxers into his uniform but had also commandeered one of the hospital's vacant ambulances. Right now, he had just loaded Ally onto the stretcher.
'' I'm trying! I'm trying! But you yelling at me isn't helping '' Jace remarked, loading her into the ambulance.
Trish and the twins followed after their mother but were stopped by Jace.
'' Sorry Trish, I can't let you guys come with.''
'' Why not? I'm a friend. As in the first part of friends and family.''
'' I know, but I can't let you go because those two are underage. Legally they can't be left behind on their own.''
'' Then they're coming too.''
'' What, no?! They can't, they aren't patients. Its forbidden. I could get fired and/or arrested for that.''
'' DO. IT!'' Trish shrieked, getting into he back of the vehicle and subsequently helping her godchildren in too.''
'' Fine, fine. Jesus, first half my paycheck disappears with you and soon so does my paramedic's license'' Jace sighed, jumping into the driver's seat, Trish joining him in the passenger seat.
'' Wait? Did you leave Alex and Ava in the back?!''
'' Yeah, why?''
'' Again. Illegal! God, PAtricica are you trying to get me fired?''
'' Forget your job for two seconds and drive. My best friend is having a child. So press that gas pedal and drive. I don't care how many road laws you break!''
Intimidated, Jace speed away, praying he wouldn't get fired.
In the back, Alex and ava were doing their best to keep their parent calm.
'' Breathe mommy, breathe'' Alex said, offering his hand to her.
'''Thanks rockstar-ahh!'' Ally shrieked, squeezing her son's hand, making him wince.
'' OW!"' Alex yelped.
'' Sorry sweetie. Over there, there's a rack of stress balls, bring me one'' Ally ordered.
Ava went over carefully. As she was in a moving vehicle she didn't want to fall. Grabbing the object, she handed it to her mother, who then grabbed it and let go of Alex.
'' You two are the best. You'll be great big siblings. I just hope daddy gets here soon'' Ally said, a bit calmer now.

Austin in the meanwhile, had commandeered a taxi outside his hotel, unfortunately having to use the '' I'm Austin Moon'' excuse to get possession of the vehicle from its very angry owner.
He was currently waiting for Jimmy at the exact terminal he had said to meet him at. Austin tapped his shoes impatiently. 4077 miles away his wife was in labor, and he wasn't there to help her, he couldn't stand it.
'' Austin, how are you?'' Jimmy panted. Even though the man was barely 60, he was mildly out of shape.
'' My wife is in labor, and I'm on another continent? How do you think?!"
'' Alright, calm down, look, the next flight is in 15 minutes, you should be in Miami by 12PM.''
'' What? What about the Starr jet, it can get me there by 10AM right?''
'' Yes, but its reserved for myself only.''
What Austin did next, was probably one of the riskiest things he had ever done in his entire life. He lifted Jimmy by the shirt and slammed him into a nearby pillar.
'' Listen to me you rich son of a bitch! My wife, the woman I've loved since I was 15 years old is in labor. I need to get to Miami as fast as we can. And I know how fast the Starr jet is. Get it to me now or so help me I'll spend every cent I own to buy A&A Records back, buy your house, your cars, everything you own and light it all on fire in front of you while you watch, understand?!'' Austin let the man go, he had no idea what had just happened. He had never gotten that upset before in his life. Not even when his parents threatened to never let him eat pancakes again.
'' Austin Monica Moon! What you just did is assault! Not to mention you work for me. I could take legal action! But I won't'' Jimmy said, his tone changing. '' I was absent at Kira's birth. Biggest regret of my life. So, here's what I'll do. The jet is yours-
'' Yes!-
'' But. I'm not letting you fly it.''
'' Fine, whatever, where is it?''
'' Follow me'' Jimmy smirked, leading Austin to a private area.
'' . Fuck'' Austin gasped, as he saw the Starr jet. Not only was the Starr jet, Jimmy's personal transport system, it was also one of the fastest private jets in the world. It was a striking black color, with a sleek electric blue streak going around its sides.
'' Nice huh? Check the inside'' Jimmy smiled, leading the man inside.
The interior was almost as impressive. It had premium leather seating, a large-screen tv, a minibar, kitchenette as well as a linen closet loaded with blankets.
'' So, are you flying?'' Austin asked.
'' Me? No, I don't have a pilot's license. That's why I hired him'' Jimmy pointed to a well-dressed man with cru-cut hair who had just entered. He was wearing a short-sleeved black dress shirt, dark blue jeans as well as a pair of black shoes.
'' Austin Moon, meet Lucio Gutierrez, top of his class as flight school and licensed to fly everything from crop-dusters to Air-force 1'' Jimmy smiled
'' Nice to meet you'' Austin said, extending his hand, which was shaken rather violently.
'' I. I'm so sorry sir. I, I just never expected to meet the Austin Moon, the man who got Ally Dawson to go out with him for free, and then marry him, still for free!'' Lucio smiled.
'' Hey! I'm not bad looking'' Austin protested.
'' No Austin, you aren't. Anyway, Lucio, get this bird in the air. How far to Miami going as fast as possible?''
'' 2 hours. But I'm warning you. Afterwards, your head will be in excruciating pain, and the speed is ridiculously high level, Formula Rossa is as slow as a tortoise compared to this.''
'' I don't care. I'm not missing the birth of my own child. Lucio! Get this bird in the air, next stop; Miami Beach FLA.''

'' Alright…Ally? Holy fuck you aren't supposed to be here for another three weeks'' Dr. Vanucci said, entering the room the woman had been admitted to.
'' Well, here I am. Look, I don't know why, but this kid wants out…now'' Ally winced, feeling another contraction.
'' Mommy's in pain'' Ava spoke.
'' I can see that kid. But your mom's one of the toughest people I know. Also, where's that brother of yours?''
'' Jace took him downstairs. My poor momma's boy hates seeing me in pain.''
'' I get that. Look, before we do anything too…exciting. I gotta check ya out first. So get up and follow me to my office'' Dr. Vanucci's tone changed to one that was a lot more serious.
Soon afterward, the trio had made their way into the doctor's office.
'' Alright Allison, shirt up'' Dr. Vanucci ordered, Ally subsequently obeying.
" Holy fuck this is bad!'' Dr. Vanucci cried.
'' What? Am I ok?'' Ally asked.
'' Honestly, not really. Look here'' Dr. Vanucci pointed to the fetus. '' Ya see that rope-thing?''
'' Yes?'' Ally squinted.
'' Well, that's the umbilical cord. Looks like your kid's been doing too many somersaults in there, because that cord is wrapped around her neck.''
'' Oh my God.''
'' I know. Unfortunately, just like when this little one and her brother were born. I can't let ya give birth the normal way'' Dr Vanucci said, ruffling Ava's hair.
'' Do I have to have another-
'' C-section, yeh. Get your ass comfortable Moon, you'll be here for a good couple of hours.''
'' Mommy, are you going to be ok?'' Ava asked.
'' I'll be fine Pumpkin'' Ally smiled. I hope.
-x-
'' Why? Why did I agree to this?!'' Austin shrieked.
'' You wanted to be in Miami for your child's birth, this was the best way!'' Jimmy shouted back.
As it turned out, Lucio wasn't lying when he said that the speed was ridiculously high level. Austin had no idea where they were, he assumed somewhere just over Cuba. In fact, the trio were travelling so fast, the only way he and Jimmy could hear each other was by shouting.
'' I have to be. This is the last kid Ally and I are ever going to have!''
'' How's that?!''
'' She doesn't know this, but after I found out she was pregnant, I got a vasectomy! After what happened with the twins, I knew it was the responsible thing to do!''
'' Good for you! But what're you going to tell her when she finds out?! Your wife isn't exactly thick as two bricks!''
''I-
'' Attention! We are now within Florida airspace, switching to a lower speed!'' Lucio said, the plane's speed slowing.
'' Much better. What I wanted to say was that I'll tell her after our daughter's born. Anytime before that and she'll be furious at me for not telling her sooner.''
'' Let me guess? You're hoping Ally will be too tired to tear your head off?''
'' Here's hoping.''
'' Well you can tell her now. We landed!'' Jimmy smiled. '' Grab your bags.''
Austin did as he was told, said goodbye to Lucio, promising to friend him on Facebook and also that Ally wasn't with him for his money, lord knew she had enough of her own. The man then sped down the staircase and off of the jet.
Jimmy shook his head and smiled. '' That man is one dedicated husband.''
Austin in the meantime, had burst out of the airport's doors, only now realizing that it would've been a good idea to call an Uber to pick him up. However, thankfully for him, there was an alternative; next to him was one of the private security company that worked for the airport's motorcycles.
'' It's illegal, its wrong but I have to'' Austin sighed, ignoring his morality and approaching the bike, only to be grabbed on the shoulder by its owner.
'' Hey, that's my bike'' the owner growled.
'' I'm so sorry-Facepuncher!'' Austin said, his tone changing to one of joy.
'' Austin Moon? Last time I saw you, your friend turned my championship jacket pink.''
'' Yeah well, she doesn't work there anymore. She does marketing now.''
'' Whatever. Also, what're you doing caressing my motorcycle?''
'' Ally's in labor and-
'' Your wife's in labor? Well why didn't you say so, of course you can commandeer my 60,000 dollar motorcycle.''
'' Really?''
'' No.''
'' Come on man, she could be giving birth any minute, I don't want to miss it.''
'' Forget it Moon, ever since Mad-dog went off to college this is all I have for company.''
'' Fine, how about I just borrow it, and give it back to you.''
'' You don't know where I live.''
'' We're at Wave-View memorial. Be there in 4 hours'' Austin said, ditching his bags, grabbing the fighter's keys, helmet and speeding off.
'' Wait?! I never said yes!''
Austin however couldn't hear him, he was too busy breaking the speed limit and risking injury to himself to care.
'' I'm coming Ally!'' he yelled through the helmet.
-x-
Poor Ally not only had her children had to be taken home, but she was now alone. Dr. Vanucci had told her he had other patients to see and that she'd be alone for about an hour.
What was worse however was that she was crying like her 4 year old daughter, constantly wailing about how much she wanted Austin.
'' Hey hey, guess who's spending time with their friend while she's in labor?'' trilled a voice from the doorway.
'' Trish! Dez! Hey, what happened to Alex and Ava. Did you leave them at home alone again?''
'' You leave two kids alone four times and you're branded for life. No, we forced Trent and Tilly to look after them. Tilly forced Trent to do it, because he apparently needs to work on his kid skills'' Dez explained.
'' I can believe that. Guys, I'm so scared?''
'' Why? You've been pregnant before'' Dez raised an eyebrow.
'' No, its not that, it's the fact that my child's umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck.''
'' What the fuck? Are you serious?!"' Trish shouted.
'' No Trish, I'm making this up for more attention-of course I'm serious! I'm going to have to go through this without my best friend-
'' Hey!''
'' Fine, my second best friend. I'm going to have to give birth without him there. This is not going to be a pleasurable experience.''
'' Shoving something the size of a watermelon out of your crotch, yeah, doesn't sound too fun to me'' Dez nodded.
'' Charming Dez, charming. But seriously, this is frightening. I'll have to go under, have surgeons fishing inside of me and then there's the chance that my child may…you know?''
'' Die? I know. Look, you're going to be fine. Even if Austin doesn't arrive and misses this, he isn't doing it on purpose. You know if it was up to him he'd be here right now. But Jimmy bought him out, he's stuck in Brazil- hold on I'm getting a call'' Trish walked outside and shut the door.
'' Trish De LaRosa, what do you want?''
'' For you to let me see my wife'' came a voice from behind her.
'' Austin!'' Trish hugged her ex-client. '' Why aren't you in Brazil?''
'' When you yelled at me over the phone I packed up as quickly as a could and came to Miami.''
'' But its like an 8 hour flight from Sao Paulo to here? How did you get here in time?''
'' The Starr jet. Two hours, a splitting headache later, and almost conning a professional fighter out of his motorcycle later, and I'm here.''
'' Well go in there'' Trish hissed, pushing the man inside.
'' Hey, what gives?'' Austin snapped, before noticing his wife's eyes light up as she saw him.
'' Austin!'' she shrieked as the two embraced each other in a soft kiss.
'' I missed you so much baby'' Austin smiled.
'' I missed you too buddy'' Dez responded, hugging Austin.
'' I meant my wife Dez'' Austin corrected.
'' Oh, I get it'' Dez glared.
'' So what'd the doctor say, you aren't supposed to be due for another three weeks.''
'' He said that our daughter's umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck.''
'' What? Are you serious?''
'' Of course I am! I'm going to have to go under to give birth. Also, I'm going to have to have another C-section.''
'' Oh Ally'' Austin hugged his wife closely.
Just then someone burst through the doors. '' Austin? I thought you were in Brazil?''
'' I was but I came back early. So doc, what do you think?''
'' I think, that we're a go for surgery.''
