Sorry it's been so long! I have been working on my High School Musical fics and completely forgot about my other ones!

Chapter Nineteen: New Arrival

Cecilia was in the hospital once again, giving birth to baby number five. Although she had gone through this twice before, she was still a nervous wreck. Simon tried calming her down by telling her how amazing she was, but she couldn't help being scared. She hated giving birth. It was just so personal. She didn't feel comfortable with anyone looking down there, especially anyone who wasn't Simon.

As another contraction took over her tired body, she knew that it was going to be worth it. She just didn't want to wait any longer. "Simon," she said.

He looked down at her. She had finished her contraction and relaxed a little bit. He pushed back some of the hair that was in her face.

"Can I get in the bathtub now?"

Just then, her midwife came into the room and overheard what she was saying. She answered for him. "You sure can, sweetie. Let's get you in there," she said, helping her stand up.

As she stood, she felt the baby's head get lower. She put her arms around Simon's neck and moaned. "It hurts so much," she whispered. Simon wiped away a tear that was flowing down her cheek.

"I know, Baby. It'll be over soon, I promise."

Just as she got settled into the tub, with Simon sitting behind her rubbing her shoulders, she had another contraction. This one was a lot stronger than the others, and she held back the urge to push. Shelly, her midwife, decided that she should check and see how far Cecilia had dilated. She was at 9 ½ centimeters, and at the point where she could start pushing.

"Okay, Cecilia, you can push on the next contraction."

Cecilia felt the baby's head come lower with each push. She laid her head back on Simon's knee as she tried not to scream. She just wished it was over. Shelly decided to have her wait while she went to get the doctors. She had fully dilated while she pushed. Their baby was on its way.

When Shelly came back, she had a pediatrician and an OB/GYN with her just in case of an emergency. After a few more pushes, Shelly said, "The baby's crowning, Cecilia. Another big one and we might have a head."

With all of her might, Cecilia pushed again, and she felt the pressure of the baby's head. She knew that the hardest part was over now, the head was out. She pushed for another twenty minutes and finally, with the all of the energy she had left, she gave a final push. Their baby had slipped into the world.

Simon kissed her forehead. "You did it, Baby. You're all done. We're parents again!"

She nodded her head tiredly. She was worn out yet happy. Shelly made an announcement. "It's a boy!"

They looked at their son, who looked just like Gabriel. They had chosen a couple of different names, but they hadn't decided on one yet because they wanted to see him or her before they decided. They finally decided that they liked Zachery Troy the best.

Their family was now complete and they couldn't be happier. Sure, they had made a few mistakes here and there (Okay, well they were big mistakes) but everything had worked out just fine. Their children—Castle-Lynn, December, Christmas, Gabriel and Zachery—made them happier than anything else in the world. They had had their ups and downs, but God had had mercy on them and they knew that their lives were just beginning.

That's the last regular chapter, besides an epilogue. I hope you liked it! Please review!
