A/N: The spiritual appearance is in honor of "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Rest in peace, Mean Gene.
Amanda was in a hospital gown and hooked up to an IV and monitors to monitor both hers and Liam's vitals as Hiroki ran in… and tripped.
"You okay?" Amanda questioned as Hiroki pulled himself back up.
"Yeah, I'm good. Didn't know that someone tied my shoes together, but I'm guessing Chihiro did that." Hiroki explained, while looking down at them.
"To try to stop you from getting here or was she drunk like Yukie?" Finn asked as he lightly rubbed Amanda's right wrist, her right hand in his.
"Stop me from getting here. Yukie's passed out on her bed. Yukie turned up at your place?" Hiroki responded.
"And said to grab towels, scissors and gloves and that's when we really started panicking. I know she's helped deliver babies before but I assume not while drunk." Amanda explained.
"I don't think she has. How you holding up?" Hiroki responded.
"Braving this out naturally." Amanda replied as she squeezed Finn's hand and breathed in and out as tears ran down her face.
"That's great." Hiroki responded, before Baron came in with Seth, as he slammed the door onto his body.
"Mandy, are you okay?" Seth questioned, as they can hear Hiroki groaning out in pain.
"Where's that coming from?" Baron questioned.
"You guys just hurt Hiroki." Amanda responded through the pain as Seth pulled the door back and helped Hiroki up at the same time John ran in. "John…" She replied as her and John hugged for a few seconds.
"Everyone's on their way, Sis." John responded as he lightly kissed her on her forehead.
"What am I? Everyone's punching bag or cushion?" Hiroki questioned after straightening himself.
"Sorry, Hiroki." Seth responded as Finn brushed Amanda's tears away and put an ice chip in her mouth.
"Don't hold it in, you scream if you want to, love." Finn replied before they kissed.
"We're waiting til Liam's three before we try again." Amanda responded.
"How many kids do you two want?" Seth asked.
"Three." Amanda answered.
"Please don't end up with some bad seeds like Yukie and Chihiro." Hiroki responded.
"They weren't always bad, at least Yukie wasn't as a kid." John replied.
"Not til she got to be a teenager." Hiroki responded.
"Can we do this walk down memory lane another time?" Amanda asked, still out of breath.
"Do you want me to bring Yukie up here when she's sobered up?" Hiroki questioned.
"Depending on if she's angry or not, she was pissed off when she showed up." Finn explained.
"Okay then." Hiroki muttered.
"She might calm down, Hiroki." Baron responded.
"I say if she does come here, keep her in the elevator." Seth replied.
"Keep bad talking about my sister, and I'll bring her ass right here, right now. Trust me, I have her on speed dial." Hiroki warned, as he pulled out his phone.
"Enough, okay?" John responded as he, Seth, Baron and Hiroki were guided out of the room by Hunter and Shawn as a nurse checked on Amanda.
"You're doing great, kiddo, he'll be here soon."
Amanda opened her eyes and swore she was going crazy… but in the corner of the room stood the recently departed Gene Okerlund.
"She's looking in the corner…" Hiroki responded quiet.
"That means a spirit is here." John replied.
"Do you know who, Mandy?" Hiroki questioned.
"Mister 'Mean' Gene himself…" Amanda responded, Hiroki knowing that she, himself and everyone missed the legendary announcer.
At the same time, Yukie cracked her eyes open and rubbed her head.
'God… that was a weird dream I had.' Yukie thought, before she ended up heading towards the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee.
"You finally woke up."
Yukie turned to see Sumire, who had finished detailing the ends of a crocheted blanket that was in three shades of blue… sky, ocean and navy.
"Why are you making that for? I'm not even pregnant." Yukie responded.
"It's for Mandy. I'm giving it to her when Liam will be here in a few hours." Sumire explained.
"Pssh, those three can go to hell for all I care." Yukie retorted, before drinking her cup.
"Still stubborn huh?" Sumire questioned.
"I'm not." Yukie retorted.
"Yes you are… and you're taking it out on a little baby who did nothing to you, Yukie." Sumire responded as she folded the blanket and put it in her bag before she grabbed her keys and stood up. "Please try to reach out to them. They miss you." She responded before she left.
"I don't want to argue with my own mother! Go take it out on Hiro who's in a nursery home, and barking at the nurses to get ass naked!" Yukie retorted angrily.
It was when Sumire reached the hospital hours later that she heard Amanda screaming in pain and saw Finn brushing Amanda hair back… and knew from the look on the 37 year old's face that he wished he could comfort his wife better.
"Everything will be alright, child. I went through it three times, and it is rewarding at the end." Sumire responded after she walked in, holding Amanda's left hand.
It was as the doctor counted to ten again and Amanda pushed one last time that they heard Liam crying loudly.
"Is he okay?!" Amanda asked, Sumire checking on the newborn.
"He's perfectly healthy, Mandy." Sumire responded as she smiled before she went into the waiting room and saw John stand up.
"Is he here?!" John asked.
"Yep, he is. Has all 10 fingers and 10 toes." Sumire replied.
"I want to see him first!" Shawn responded, still caffeinated and Hunter and Stephanie getting him to sit down.
"Relax, Shawn." Hunter replied.
After everything, Amanda was holding a cleaned off and bundled up Liam as she and Finn smiled.
"He's perfect…" Amanda whispered before they saw Seth and John walk in.
"Are you going to let us see him or what?" Seth questioned.
"One at a time." Amanda responded before Liam looked at Seth and John and babbled.
"If you keep running off-" Hiroki started to say, before he gave out a loud yell from outside of the hospital room.
"Your luck has run out!" Yukie retorted as she had broken Hiroki's arm.
"Hey, let go of my arm!" Hiroki responded.
"Unhand my damn phone or the arm goes off in front of that little brat!" Yukie warned.
Liam cried loudly as Amanda cradled him close to her and she and Finn comforted him as Seth walked into the hallway, closing the door as John pulled the curtain to a close.
"He shouldn't see that." John responded as Liam calmed down.
"What is the matter with you?!" Baron responded after pulling Yukie aside.
"That asshole dragged me to the hospital and I warned him so many times not to take me. And yet he did." Yukie explained.
"So you broke his arm in front of a newborn?!" Seth replied after walking over.
"He'll be alright, it's not like I went Ronda Rousey on him." Yukie explained with her arms crossed.
"Don't drag me into this, Yukie." Ronda responded before she went to go see Liam. "How's he doing?" She questioned after sitting down.
"Shaken but he's okay." Amanda replied as Liam saw Ronda and she lightly kissed him on his forehead.
"Welcome to the world, Liam Christopher." Ronda whispered before Yukie charged in.
"He's still a little brat, and so are you two, the perfect ass couple of WWE. Like everyone give two fucks, about Liam and you two!" Yukie retorted.
"Get out and don't bother coming around us. I honestly thought you calmed down but it's clear you haven't!" Finn responded before Yukie left, Seth closing the door after walking in.
"Fine! I don't need y'all! I'll… I'll show you two… I'll show everyone! I'm leaving Florida and never coming back, even if you want me back!" Yukie yelled before she went into the elevator.
"Yukie!" Sumire called out, as the elevator closed on her.
"Forget about her, Mom!" Hiroki responded, before everyone's eyes widened after seeing Sumire dropkick her own son.
"Sumire, how the heck…" Nikki started to ask as she helped Sumire stand up, Hiroki coughing.
"I'm 50 years old and I've still got it after so long." Sumire explained.
At the same time, John and Seth walked back in.
"What happened out there?" Finn questioned as he held Liam.
"Sumire… that woman just dropkicked her own son!" Seth responded as he laughed.
Amanda laughed as well even though she didn't necessarily find it funny.
But the pain she endured for hours on end made her feel like she needed laughter.
