A/N: *Phew* [Wipes brow] I've been on a writing binge for the past two days, trying to finish this story up to make up for lost time. I hope you've been liking it so far and where it's going. This has got to be the sweetest chapter I've ever written. Enjoy!
Faye sighed, sitting in the waiting room with Spike, who was reading a magazine about space ships. "I'm nervous." She said, wringing her sweaty hands.
"Why are you nervous? You're not the one who's having the baby." Spike responded, not tearing his eyes away from the rather boring magazine.
"I just am." Faye stood, beginning to pace. "My best friend in there is having a baby as we speak. God, I just --- I want all the animosity between the four of us to go away."
Spike looked up at his girlfriend from his magazine. "I believe it already has."
Faye stopped to look at Spike. He was right. They'd pretty much bonded back together again when Camilla suddenly went into labor. There was hope.
"PUSH!!! PUSH, CAMILLA!!!" Jet yelled at his wife as she tried with all her might to push the baby inside of her out into the world. Jet, who was wearing teal doctor's scrubs and a hair bonnet, was in between the doctors who stood at each of her legs, gently telling her to push with all her might.
"PUSH, BABY, PUSH!!!" The doctors who look at Jet, occasionally, as if he were out of his mind.
"I AM!!!!" Camilla screamed back in response, her entire face soaked with sweat.
"Push, sweetheart, pu --- oh, here he is." One of the nurses knelt down to Camilla's opening as a tiny head began to surface.
"Move! Let me do it!" Jet yelled, pushing the nurse out of the way.
"Well, I never!" The nurse brushed herself off and crossed her arms.
The room was suddenly filled with the cry of a baby as the child slowly exited Camilla, who was already beginning to fall back asleep.
"Here, sir." One of the doctors handed Jet a pair of scissors the cut the umbilical cord. A teary eyed Jet took them with pleasure and carefully cut the cord, releasing the child to the doctor so that he could wipe off the residue that it arrived in.
Jet walked over to his wife, tenderly rubbing her forehead and kissing it. "There's our baby." He smiled, a tear dropping onto Camilla's cheek.
"We're parents." Camilla smiled back, starting to tear up herself.
The doctor walked towards the couple, carefully delivering their new baby into Camilla's arms. "There you are, Mr. and Mrs. Black. A brand new baby girl."
"A girl?" Jet repeated, looking at the doctor with confusion.
"A girl." The doctor responded with confidence, leaving the room so that the couple could have their alone time.
"Wow. A baby girl." Camilla and Jet scanned their daughter over, checking for anything that could have been wrong with her but coming up with nothing.
"She's gorgeous. She looks just like you." Jet said, staring at his new baby girl.
Camilla gave him a knowing glance. "I'm so excited."
"Wait!" Jet ran out of the room, leaving Camilla confused.
He arrived two minutes later with some familiar faces.
"Faye. Spike." Camilla looked at the two who she had hated for the past few months and could only smile. "Look." She said, raising her daughter up a little so that they could see her.
Spike and Faye walked closer to Camilla as they peered down at her arms and stared at the baby in them.
"It's a….girl?" Faye asked, looking over at Jet who merely shrugged.
"Wow," was all Spike could say as he found himself not able to take his eyes off the gorgeous baby that lay in Camilla's arms. "She's…..she's beautiful."
"Thank you." Camilla responded, looking up at Spike, who was very amused.
"When you guys get home, I want you to take the tape off the floor."
"What?" Faye was shocked at what had just come out of Camilla's mouth.
"Yes. This fighting as got to stop. Especially with little…..Gabriella moving in."
"Gabriella….it suits her." Spike responded, playing with the baby's teeny hands.
"Gabriella…I love it." Jet said with a smile, watching from the end of the bed.
"And….I want you guys to stay."
"WHAT?!" Spike and Faye said in unison, now really REALLY shocked.
"How much anesthesia did they give her?" Faye asked Jet who merely shrugged again.
Camilla laughed. "No, really. I think you'd be an asset to Gabriella's life."
"Well, heh, I'm an asset to everybody's life." Spike said with a cocky smile. Faye playfully slapped his arm.
"So the fighting is over?" Camilla looked up at her two friends, excited about new beginnings.
"Yep. Fighting is over." Faye responded with a wide smile.
The doctor arrived in the room again with a clipboard. "So what's this beautiful little girl's name?"
"Gabriella…..Faye Black."
Faye's mouth widened as she looked at Camilla. "Camilla? Really?"
"Yeah…I really love you, Faye. You're my best friend. And I hope to see a little bit of you in baby Gabriella."
Faye was completely taken aback.
"Such a pretty name." The doctor responded, as he wrote the name down on the paper stuck to the clipboard. "Well, you'll have to stay here for a few days so that we can make sure that you and Gabriella are fine, then you are free to go."
"Thank you." Camilla said to the doctor as he exited the room.
"You guys can go. I'm gonna stay here with Cam." Jet said, sitting down in the chair next to his wife's bed.
"You sure?" Spike asked still staring at Gabriella.
"Yeah, It's just a few days. I wanna spend some alone time with my new family." Jet gave a warm smile to Camilla who smiled back in response.
"Okay." Faye couldn't help but get teary eyed at the sight of her best friend and her husband starting a family. "Come on, Spike." She said, walking towards the door. She turned around for one last glance realizing that Spike wasn't behind her but playing with Gabriella's puny feet.
"COME ON, SPIKE!" Faye yanked Spike by his collar and they exited the room.
Jet kissed his wife on the forehead as she handed over Gabriella and began to fall asleep.
