"Your… what? I thought that you weren't due for another 2 weeks?" Olivia asked worriedly.

"I'm not but it did" Casey replied, twice as worried.

"We've got to get you to a hospital then. Mercy's the closest." Elliot said, taking up his protective nature over Casey.

"We can't El, every road is closed" Cragen said.

"It's alright guys; Huang and I are both doctors so we were both trained on how to handle a childbirth. We can take care of you until the roads clear up. "Melinda said, in a calming voice.

"But what if they don't clear up in time?" Casey asked worriedly.

There was silence in the room for a moment before Melinda spoke up.

"Then the baby will be born here."

Cragen's leadership kicked in and he began giving orders.

"Alright then. Casey, sit down, Melinda and Huang, you're in charge. Fin, go call mercy and have a bus ready as soon as possible. Olivia, Elliot, Munch, and I are gonna do whatever you two tell us." He said looking at Melinda and Huang.

"Okay then, Munch and Cragen, go get some towels or bed sheets; we'll need something soft to keep the baby warm. Olivia, you me and Casey are gonna get her settled in a bed in the cribs" as everyone went out on their assigned duties, Melinda turned to Casey. "Have you had any contractions yet?"

"Not yet" Casey replied.

"Alright. Let's get movin' before the first one comes.

Huang followed Melinda, Casey, and Olivia as they made their way up into the cribs. Once they were there, Casey doubled over in pain.

"Holy Shit!" She yelled as she grabbed her stomach in pain

"Contractions" Olivia and Melina simultaneously said.

They helped Casey into a bed and the contraction was over in about 5 minutes. At that time, Cragen and munch returned with some navy blue NYPD tee shirts.

"There's a box of 'em downstairs. I don't know who's they were, but there ours now" John said with a smile. "how's Case?"

"Fine between contractions" she answered, "and yourself?" she offered jokingly.

"I have had the worst day!" John said in a voice that was mock-seriousness. That earned him a few chuckles and a gentle slap from fin. The group joked around for about an hour while Casey had a few contractions.

"you need anything else?" Fin asked.

"get her some water" Melinda answered.

As Munch and Fin went to get some water and cragen, huang, and Elliot went to go check the roads, the girls were left alone for a while. As Casey's face winced to the pain of another contraction, Melinda noticed something. "Casey, didn't you just contract 3 minutes ago? "

"um, ya" she responded through her teeth.

"oh"

"Why?"

"Casey, do you mind if I check you, to see how dilated you are?"

"Go ahead doc"

Olivia helped Melinda get Casey's sweatpants off and they pulled a sheet that covered from her stomache to her knees and draped over the sides of the bed. She opened her legs and raise her knees.

"oh my" Melinda said

"what?" Casey and Olivia asked.

"um, well, it seems that you're about 9 millimeters dialated."

"NINE?" Casey yelled.

"you'll probably be pushing in about 2 minutes."

Casey's face looked panicked as Olivia pet her hair and tried to console her.

"shhhhh, It'll be okay case"

The men returned as melind explained her discover

"…And I'm having her push on this next contraction"

"mercy said they can get a bus here in half an hour. Could we wait?"

"that could be bad for the baby" Melinda warned

"Alright, I want Cragen, Fin, and Munch behind the bed. Olivia and Elliot, grab a leg and Huang, get over here and help we with the baby" Melinda ordered.

Everyone went to their assigned positions and Melinda spoke up when she noticed that Casey was contracting again .

"alright, you ready case?"

Casey nodded.

"ok, on the count of three I want you to push, ok?"

"ok" Casey replied.

"ok, 1,2-"

"I hate you, but thank you" Casey mumbles. No one could clearly hear what she had said, but they heard her say something.

"what?" Melinda asked

"Oh, ah – nothing"

"alright… so one, two, three"

Casey's face reddened as she pushed as hard as she could.

"I see a head!" Melinda shouted

Casey continued to push as hard as she could.

"George, take her leg. Elliot, grab some tee's."

Huang grabbed Casey's left leg and Elliot reached into the box of soft NYPD tee shirts. Casey was still pushing her hardest as Elliot formed a makeshift blanket out of the overlapped tops.

Casey let out a whimper as Melinda encouraged her on, and Melinda called Elliot over to be ready to grab the baby.

"almost there, case! Almost there! "

Casey gave one more great push as the baby's head and torso came into the world, and Melinda pulled the rest of the child out and threw it into elliot's arms that were holding the makeshift blanket. He smiled down for a moment at the child and whispered "It's a girl" a few stray tears fell from everyone's eyes, as they had just witnessed the miracle that is child birth. They all smiled.

Then it all went to hell in a hand basket.
