A/N: Thank you for all the reviews. I don't own 7th heaven, I do own all the new charters. I don't on the song either. George Strait does.
Ashley's POV
I have been in labor for four hours now. I can't believe I'm only three centimeters dialed. Matt finally decided it was time for me to go to the hospital. He thinks since he's the doctor he knows what's best for me. I like to see him in labor. There is only one other person I hate more right now and that is Mac for getting me in to this.
Ashley: Has anyone talked to Cody?
Ruthie: We called him. He is trying to get on the next flight back. He said to tell you he loves you and he will be here as soon as he can.
Ashley: OWWWW… God this hurts.
Ruthie: Just breath.
Ashley: I can't believe he is going to miss this. I'm going to kill him.
Mac's POV
The contraction was finally over. I knocked on the door. Needed to do something besides just sit and wait.
Mac: Can I get you anything?
Ashley: Yeah you can do this for me.
Mac: I would if I could.
Another contraction hit and She grabbed my hand. I sat in the chair next to her.
Mac: Ruthie maybe you should take over for me.
Ashley: No don't go I need you.
I looked up to see Ruthie and Mrs. Camden glairing at me.
Mac: Ash, honey I don't think I should be in here.
Ashley: I thought I could do this without you but I can't. You should be here when our daughter is born.
Ruthie: I will go then. I need to check on Kyle anyway.
Ashley's POV
I have been in labor for 12 hours now. I trying to do this naturally but I finally had to ask for epidural. I hate needles so I never thought I would be begging for one. Mac has been really good to me. My mom has been good to but she's starting to get on my nerves.
Ashley: Mom, I love you but I really want Ruthie.
Mom: I will go see if she's awake.
Ashley: Thanks.
A few minutes later a very tired Ruthie came back in.
Ruthie: Hey. How far a long are you?
Ashley: I'm at seven centimeters.
Mac: I have been trying to get her to sleep while she can. But every time she finally goes to sleep someone comes to check her or another contraction hits.
Ashley: Have you talked to Cody?
Ruthie: Yeah he got on the first flight out at eight in the morning.
Ruthie's POV
I could she how hurt Ashley was that Cody wasn't there. I felt bad but at least Mac was there. She finally fell asleep. Me and Mac talked a lot about everything. I know what Mac did to her was wrong and so does he. He wants me to help him get her back. He even should me the ring he bought her. The nurse came back in to check her.
Nurse: Well Ashley you are ready to push. Let me go get Dr. Johnson and we will get you ready.
Mac: I knew you could do it.
Ruthie: Good job the hard part is almost over with.
Ashley: You mean it gets worse?
Ruthie: Yes it does but trust me it's all worth it.
The nurse and the Doctor comes in and sets everything up.
Dr. Johnson: Okay Ashley when you feel the next contraction I want you to push just they the showed you in class.
She pushed for twenty minutes.
Ashley: Oh my god it burns.
Ruthie: Your doing really good just breath.
Dr. Johnson: One more good push and the head will be out.
Mac: Come on Ash you can do this.
Ashley: Oh shut up I hate you right now.
Ruthie: Don't worry Mac I told Martin the same thing.
She pushed and the her head was out. Mac fainted. The nurse put a blanket on Ashley stomach.
Dr. Johnson: Okay, Ashley one last push and you will be holding your daughter.
She pushed and they laid Payton on her stomach.
Ashley's POV
Oh my gosh I can't believe I'm a mommy. She is so beautiful. They wake Mac up and he walks over to us. All of us are crying.
Mac: You did it Ashley. I'm so proud of you. I love you.
Ruthie: Me too. I going to go and leave you guys alone.
Ashley: Thank you Roo.
Ruthie: Your Welcome.
They take her to weight and clean her up. She weights 6lbs. 8oz. And is 20 inches long. They hand her to Mac and he brings her back over to me.
Nurse: Do you have a name picked out?
Ashley: Yes it's Payton Lynn Davis.
Nurse: That's really pretty.
Mac: A pretty name for a pretty little girl.
Ashley: Happy Birthday Payton. I'm Your Mommy.
Mac: And I'm your Daddy.
She is so pretty. She has dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. She has my nose and mouth.
Mac: Can I hold her before everybody comes in?
Ashley: Sure.
I hand her to Mac.
Mac: Hi princess. I'm your daddy. You have a great mommy and family. Their a little bit crazy sometimes and there's a lot of them, but they love you. I love you.
He kisses her and hands her back to me. Ruthie knocks on the door.
Ruthie: Is it okay to come in?
Ashley: Yeah.
Everybody came in.
Ashley: Everybody I would like you to meet. Payton Lynn Davis.
Mom: What happened to Camden?
Ashley: Well she is Mac's.
Sarah: Well I really like that name.
Mary: Me too.
They sing the song and when they where done. She started to cry. Everybody went to leave. When Cody came running in.
Cody: I'm so sorry baby.
Ashley: Not right now. I'm not sure I want to talk to you.
Dad: Come on Cody you guys can visit in a little while.
Cody: Okay. I love you.
They show me how to nurse her after she is done they take her back to the nursery. I finally get some much needed sleep.
Ruthie's POV
Martin comes to the hospital to see Payton. We walk down to the nursery. Mac is already there.
Martin: Hey man. Congrats.
Mac: Thanks.
Ruthie: Looks just like Ashley with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Mac: How can you love someone so much that you just met?
Martin: I don't know but you do.
Mac: I don't know if I can do this or not. How am I suppose to just see her once in a while. While he gets to see her all the time?
Ruthie: I don't know.
Martin: I'm sorry man.
I hugged Mac. I got a really good idea for him. I asked Martin to go to the store and buy a pack of onesies and pink maker.
Ruthie: Don't say anything but if I know my sister she's really hurt and will probably break up with Cody.
Mac: Are you sure?
Ruthie: I'm pretty sure. I also know that she still has feelings for her. But it's not going to be easy.
Mac: I will do whatever it takes.
Martin finally got back. I took the onesie out and had Mac write Will you Marry My Daddy?. On it. I asked Sarah to ask one of the nurses to put it on Payton before they take her back to Ashley.
Mac: Thank you, Ruthie. How did you come up with that so fast?
Ruthie: I don't know. It just kinda came to me.
The nurse agrees and puts the onesie on and takes her back in.
Mac's POV
Okay here goes nothing. God, I know I'm not the best christen, but please help me here I love her and Payton so much. Please let her say yes, Amen. I walk in after the nurse. The nurse opens the blanket a little bit So you can kind of see the writing. And hands her to Ashley. Ashley get's curious and opens it more and reads it. I get down one knee and opens the little black box before she got done reading it.
Mac: I Love you with all my heart. I know I hurt you and I would give anything to take it back. Please forgive me and let me make it up to you. Ashley Ryan Camden will you Marry Me?
Ashley: How do I know you wont cheat on me again?
Mac: I swear on my and Payton's life I will never cheat on you again.
She starts to cry. And nods her head.
Ashley: Yes, I will marry you.
I put the ring on her finger and kiss her. I didn't know at the time Cody was at the door. Watching us.
Cody: Well I guess I will be going now.
Ashley: I'm sorry Cody but I still love him.
Cody: Yeah, I got that. Don't come crying to me when he breaks your heart again.
He left. We cuddled. I sang to her and Payton to get her to go back to sleep.
Just walked down the street to the coffee shop
Had to take a break
I'd been by her side for 18 hours straight
Saw a flower growin' in the middle of the sidewalk
Pushin' up through the concrete
Like it was planted right there for me to see
The flashin' lights
The honkin' horns
All seemed to fade away
In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
I saw God today
I've been to church
I've read the book
I know he's here
But I don't look
Near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today
Saw a couple walkin' by they were holdin' hands
Man she had that glow
Yeah I couldn't help but notice she was startin' to show it
Stood there for a minute takin' the sky
Lost in that sunset
Splash of amber melted in the shades of red
I've been to church
I've read the book
I know he's here
But I don't look
Near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today
Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
She's sleepin' like a rock
My name on her wrist
Wearin' tiny pink socks
She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes
My brand new baby girl
She's a miracle
I saw God today
A/N: Thanks guys for reading. I had to bring Mac back, he is just so cute. Please Review and tell me what you think.
