Hey, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all the people who Read and Review this story, it REALLY makes my day. So THANK YOU! Anyway on to a new chapter-

In the Still of the Night

I sit in one of the many chairs filled in this room. Marissa in her wheel chair besides me; Summer in the bed with Seth by her side and Mom, Dad, Julie and Neil filling the other chairs scattered around the room.

Everyone one is chattering until Summer has another contraction.

We have all been sitting in this room for several hours and by the look on Summers face she is pretty ready to have this over with.

As the contraction hits Marissa wheels her chair over to the other side of Summer's bed and reaches for her hand.

Summer gives her a weak smile,

"Thanks"

She smiles at Marissa

"Where is my thanks."

Seth ask sarcastically

"Oh don't you start with me, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you."

Seth tries no to laugh-

"I know baby I was being funny haha."

"Oh don't you baby me."

In the still of the night
I held you, held you tight
cause I love, love you so
Promise Ill never let you go
In the still of the night
In the still of the night

He bends down and kisses her on the cheek and I swear if she didn't get another contraction she would have snapped him.

"Mom can you please get some ice for me?"

"Sure baby."

Seth sarcastically remarks

"So mom gets to call you baby, no fair."

This time Summer hits him.

"OW Summer."

"Don't you OW Summer me! You skinny little no arsed beanstalk, you ever get me pregnant again I swear I will chop it off."

This time I try not to laugh but I know we really don't need a rage blackout.

Marissa wheels back over to me.

"I need to use the bath room."

She whispers to me and I reach out my arm for her to support herself as she gets up, I know that it may be a little bit overboard, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

As the door closes to the bathroom mom walks back in with ice

"Here you go princess."

As she hand her the ice another contraction shakes through her.

"Mommy"

Summer whimpers as mom gives her her hand. I have never seen Summer like this before.

I hear her whisper

"Mommy it really hurts."

"I know baby, I know."

Mom sits on the bed next to her and cradles her.

I guess that over the years Kirsten has been there for all of us. The fantastic four all calls her mom including Taylor- but I guess that makes it the fab five. Mom has been really close to Summer after her own mom left her. Although I have never hear Summer call her mommy before. I haven't called her Kirsten for years and I know secretly she loves to be called mom.

I remember that night in may
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love

I turn as the bathroom door opens.

I walk over to Marissa and whisper,

"Are you bleeding?"

I am really concerned something deep inside me is so scared that something is wrong, that I'll loss her, I would never admit it though Atwood's don't show emotion. I try but sometimes it gets too much and I break.

"Just a little, but I'm okay."

I wheel her chair over to her as she sits. She wheels herself back over to Summer. Summer whispers something that I didn't catch and Marissa nods. Then I watch as mom whispers to her,

"Can I talk to you later?"

She nods again.

"Daddy, can you please get me a magazine?"

"Sure darling."

"Oh, Neil did you want me to go? So you can stay with her."

He nods

"What magazine do you want honey?"

"US Weekly would be good."

"Sure."

Julie smiles as she leaves the room.

Marissa stands up quickly and rushes back into the toilet closing the door, I follow her in closing the door behind me.

As I walk in her head is over the toilet.

Sitting behind her I hold her hair back and reach my arm around her waist so my hand is gently placed on her stomach.

Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night

"You're not okay are you honey?"

"I guess the anaesthesia is wearing off."

She gives me a weak smile and goes to stand up. She grabs my hand for support. As she stands she places her hand on her stomach

"Does it hurt?"

"A little I guess."

"What do you mean a little?"

"Well just like a really bad cramp- that's all."

"That's all?"

"Ry I'm okay, he said a bad period pain and that's what it feels like."

"So you pretty much go through this every month?"

"Yeah and you don't here me complaining then."

"Okay."

I don't want to push her so I just agree.

I kneel down and place my hand on her stomach it looks slightly swollen but I'm sure it's my imagination. I kiss her stomach gently-

"Is that better?"

"Definitely"

She say smiling

As we walk back out Julie is back and Summers doctor is there.

"You're 10 cm dilated. Who do you want to stay with you?"

He asks.

"Mom, Marissa, Julie, Seth and Ryan. Is that okay?"

"Of course it is honey whatever you want."

Neil and Dad walk over and kiss her goodbye wishing her good luck.

So before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
In the still of the night

Marissa and Seth hold her hands as the doctor tell her to push she screams and the doctor then tells her to stop. Tears and sweat trickle down her face and mom wipes them away. I stand beside Marissa and place my hand over hers holding Summer's. She gives a weak smile and as another contraction hit's the doctor again tell her to push.

"Okay Summer the head is out."

She whimpers as we all wait for another contraction.

I have never seen the look which now distorts her face, it is etched with pain and I look to Seth who has almost the same look, I look down to see his hand turning purple.

The doctor tells Summer to push she does so and it's followed by cries.

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Cohen- you have a baby girl."

Summer is now beaming as Seth is too. The doctor places the baby in her arms.

"Summer she is perfect."

Seth coo's over his little girl. The baby already looks like them- a mop of dark hair and as her eyes look around the room I notice that they are dark brown too.

"What are you going to call her?"

Seth looks at Summer and nods.

Just then Dad and Neil walk back into the room after the doctor went to get them

"Everyone this is Shila Madison Cohen"

"Sum would it be okay if held her?"

Summer hands Shila to Marissa. I watch as Marissa studies her little face and then looks up at me. All of a sudden there is a look of sadness and emptiness in her eyes, and I know that she has realised what we really did earlier this morning.

Hey the song is Boys II Men - In the Still of the Night and the name of the chapter is obviously the title of the song. I don't own it- I wish I did cause it's beautiful. Please read and review. Lovies Shar-Lyn. PS. Shila isn't an actual name -I don't think.

PPS. You know I have been thinking, I wish fanfic had the ability to have pictures cause all my stories have front covers and content pages, and you know what else would be awesome? If you could load a song to be played with the chapter so instead of putting song lyrics in the actual song plays. What do you guys think?
