I DO NOT OWN HATFIELDS AND MCCOYS
After the wedding, Jed and the happy couple returned to the Graham home. When they arrived, they heard painful moans coming from the house.
"Alifair!" Jed shouted as he ran into the house. When he stormed in, he found his wife on the floor, holding her stomach.
"What's wrong darling?" Jed asked in fear.
"The baby's coming?" She groaned as Johnse and Roseanna stepped inside. This was it, Jed's baby was coming and he was not prepared.
"Alifair's in labor!" Jed exclaimed. "Johnse, go get Doc Rutherford, Roseanna, help your sister." Johnse got on his horse as Roseanna got down next to her sister and acted as midwife.
"It's OK sissy, ya gonna be just fine." Roseanna said as she began coaching her sister through her labor pains. She seemed like she knew how to do it. Probably because she had seen Sally give birth time and time again. Alifair went through pains for about half an hour until Johnse returned with the doc.
"All right, Roseanna, I'm gonna need you ta help me with yer sister." Doc Rutherford said as he took out his supplies. "You boys best wait outside." they nodded as Jed kissed Alifair's forehead.
"Ya gonna be fine honey." He assured as Johnse and him went out to the front porch to wait on his baby.
The next couple of hours were painful to sit through as Alifair kept screeching in pain. Finally, the groaning stopped and the cries of a baby replaced them. Jed and Johnse stormed Doc Rutherford as he exited the cabin.
"How's Alifair?" Jed inquired.
"She's all right, she just needs bed rest fer a few days ta get over the labor."
"And the baby?"
"Ya got a healthy baby boy." the doc said as Jed laughed in happiness.
"I'm happy fer ya." Johnse said as he embraced his brother in law. The two men went in where they saw Alifair and Roseanna cooing over the baby.
"Sissy, he's so beautiful." Roseanna admired as Jed came over.
"I got a son." Jed said in amazement as Alifair offered him up.
"Ya wanna hold him?" She asked as Jed took the baby in his arms.
"We gonna name ya Randall. Randall Johnse Graham." Jed decided as Johnse looked pleased at the name.
"Ya giving him my name?" He asked in surprise.
"If ya don't mind, figured he should be named after the two strongest men I ever known: His grandpa and his uncle." Jed then offered the baby to Johnse who took him gingerly.
"Hi there buddy, it's ya uncle Johnse." He said as Roseanna moved closer. "And this ya aunt Roseanna."
"Ya such a cute little baby." Roseanna said as she caressed him. As Jed and Alifair embraced each other, they felt a happiness like they had never previously known.
