SEVEN WEEKS LATER
Michelle and Josh had slowly adapted to having a new baby in the house. DJ and Stephanie were great aunts who babysat whenever Michelle needed them. DJ was three days away from her due date now, Stephanie eight weeks from hers. One night Michelle had just finished nursing Jack when there was a knock on the door. She followed Josh to the front hall, Jack still in her arms, and stood behind him as he opened the door. On the front step stood Michael, DJ, and Stephanie.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Michelle asked.
"I'm in labor, and I want you to be at the hospital with me," DJ smiled. Michelle turned to Josh.
"Can you keep an eye on Jack for me? There are bottles in the fridge if I don't get back by his next feeding time," she said.
"Sure, go for it," Josh replied. "Good Luck Deej, and Michelle make sure you call me when the baby is born," he added.
"I will!" Michelle replied, kissing Josh goodbye and then following Michael and her sisters down the driveway to the car. They got the hospital ten minutes later and DJ labored for only three hours before she was ready to push. Stephanie and Michelle stood on either side of DJ holding her legs while Michael held her hand and coached her through the pushing. After only three pushes the baby's head was born. The doctor suctioned the baby's mouth and then DJ pushed again and the baby was born.
"It's a girl!" Michael announced. Baby Hannah weighed in at seven pounds four ounces. Michelle found a payphone and called Josh and her father. She went back to see DJ and found the baby already nursing for the first time. When she was finished she was passed to Stephanie and Michelle. Soon after Michelle had to go back home to Josh and Jack, and Stephanie had to put Allison to bed and help Anthony with some small chores. DJ and Michael fell asleep together in DJ's hospital bed, little Hannah sleeping beside them in her hospital bassinet.
