Chapter 4
"What's wrong?" DJ asked following her sister up the stairs.
"I don't know. Michelle and I were putting our gifts away and she said she felt a lot of pressure coming from where the baby is and that she had cramps all afternoon while we were shopping and that they're getting worse," Stephanie explained.
"Michelle's having her baby!" DJ exclaimed. She ran into Stephanie and Michelle's old bedroom and found her sister on the bed, already in a nightgown.
"Michelle, I think you're in labor," DJ said sitting on the edge of the bed and taking her sister's hand.
"Deej, I think this baby is coming now," Michelle said, wide eyed and scared.
"It'll probably still be a while, first babies take a while to come," DJ said stroking her sister's hair.
"No, I mean NOW!" Michelle said breathing through a contraction. DJ looked between her sister's legs and sure enough a head was beginning to crown. DJ told Stephanie to get towels and a bowl and a blanket and to call the midwife. Stephanie came back with the equipment and the phone. She called the midwife and Josh, who both agreed to get to the Tanner house as soon as possible.
"Guys I'm getting another one!" Michelle wailed about 5 minutes later. DJ put the towels under her sister and put the blanket on her sister's chest.
"Just don't push Michelle, the midwife will be here any minute," Stephanie said, holding Michelle's hand.
"I have to," Michelle said, and with that the baby's head was born. DJ suctioned the baby out as much as she could. Josh came running into the bedroom just as the baby slid into DJ's arms.
"It's a boy!" Stephanie announced.
