Summary -
Chapter Sixteen – One Month Later
The following month, Dan asked Peyton to move in with him which she agreed to and moved all of her things out of the apartment. Matt and Maddy had also decided that it was time they got their own place to live in because they felt that waking Jess, Ben and Britty Boo up every night with a screaming baby was very unfair. They chose a quaint little house near where Dan lived so that Peyton and Maddy could still see each other whenever they wanted to. Matt had also near enough disowned Ben because of his behaviour with the whole Peyton fiasco. Maddy's baby was due any day now and Peyton was waiting for the phone call that would change her life forever. She was getting quite antsy as Maddy was overdue and the baby still hadn't made an appearance. Something, which she liked to remind Dan about frequently.
"Why isn't the baby here yet?" Peyton asked Dan.
"Peyt, babies take their time. They choose when they want to be born. It'll be here before you know it and all this fussing would have been over nothing," Dan replied.
"But she was due fourteen days ago! Fourteen days! Why haven't they started her off yet?"
"Because if the baby hasn't arrived by tomorrow then they're going to start her off. Would waiting for another day really hurt?"
"No I suppose not but I'm worried that something will go wrong!"
"You need to stop worrying. It doesn't get you anywhere."
Peyton nodded and watched what was showing on the television. They stayed that way for another two hours until the phone in the kitchen rang. Dan heard it and walked into the kitchen and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Dan it's Matt! Tell Peyt she's in labour! I'm going to become a daddy at long last!"
"Great! When did she start?"
"Maddy's been having twinges all day. It started properly about an hour ago. Get Peyton here as soon as possible because we've been told to go to the hospital."
"Okay then I'll tell her now. See you soon Matt."
"See you!"
Dan hung up the phone and walked back into the front room. Peyton looked at him and smiled.
"Who was that on the phone?" she asked.
"Someone's about to become an aunt! She's also wanted by her sister. It was Matt and we have to go round their house now."
Peyton grinned and jumped up from the sofa screaming. She ran out of the house and got into Dan's car.
"Come on!" she shouted.
Dan laughed from inside the house and came out. He shut the front door and locked it then got into the car.
"Come on then Aunt Peyton. Lets go see Maddy."
Dan started the car and in record time they were at Matt and Maddy's house. They parked the car and locked it up before walking to the door and knocking on it. Matt opened the door with a grin on his face and let them in.
"She's in the front room. She keeps screaming at me!" he told them.
Peyton laughed and walked into the front room. Maddy was lying on the sofa with a pained expression on her face. Peyton rushed over to her and held her hand.
"Maddy it's okay I'm here now."
Maddy looked at Peyton and tried to smile.
"Peyton it hurts! Get it out! It's been in for far too long!" Maddy complained.
"I know I know. We'll go to the hospital soon and then we can get the baby out and you'll be a mummy!" Peyton replied.
Maddy glared at Peyton and grabbed the collar of her top. She yanked Peyton towards her and spoke.
"How can you be happy when I'm in pain?"
"Because I'm not the one that's in pain!"
Maddy let go of Peyton's collar and looked at Matt who put Maddy's bag by the front door.
"I hate you!" she growled at him.
"And I love you!" Matt replied as he picked her up bridal style.
Matt took Maddy outside and let Peyton get into the back seat of the car before Maddy. When Peyton had done her seatbelt up Matt laid Maddy across the seat and told her not to move. He then got into the car himself and started it up. The drive to the hospital was silent apart from the occasional howl of pain from Maddy. When they reached the hospital, Matt got Maddy out of the car first and quickly walked into the hospital. When he reached the reception desk he told the receptionist what was happening and waited while she got a porter to take Maddy to the maternity ward. A few moments later Maddy was settled in the ward and Peyton and Matt were having a discussion over who should be at the birth.
"It's my child! I should be there to see my first child being born!" Matt told her.
"She's my sister! My identical twin sister! We shared a womb!" Peyton replied.
"It's my child!"
"Please Matt. You can be there for the next one. Or when I pop a baby out you can watch me give birth. We're identical so you could imagine that I'm Maddy!"
"No thanks. Can't we both go in?"
Peyton shook her head then thought for something to say. She was determined to win this argument.
"Please twins go through everything together. I promised her that I would be there. I can't break a promise can I?"
Matt sighed and shook his head.
"Go in there. I'll do some male bonding with Dan while we're waiting."
Peyton squealed and hugged Matt.
"Thanks!" she told him as she walked through the door.
When Maddy saw her she smiled and was clutching the gas and air pipe. Peyton sat down next to her and held her hand.
"Peyt you should totally get pregnant! This stuff they give you is great!" Maddy told her.
Peyton laughed and tried to take the gas and air away but Maddy seemed the hold onto it harder. Peyton gave up and looked at her sister.
"Maddy you're as high as a kite. Maybe you should stop with the gas and air."
Maddy laughed hysterically and shook her head. She carried on laughing until another contraction hit. Once that hit her she screamed out in pain and started to inhale the gas and air. This seemed to carry on for hours and hours and finally the doctors took her to the delivery room to give birth. The birth itself went very quickly which the doctors said was unusual for a first birth as they usually went on for hours or days even. When the baby had been cleaned up and Maddy was holding it, Peyton went outside to tell Matt about his child.
"Matt you're a daddy!" she told him excitedly.
"What is it?" he asked.
"A boy. You have a son."
Matt whooped and hugged Peyton tightly before he ran into the room to see his wife and son. After a few minutes he exited the room holding the baby. He had a few tufts of brown hair and dazzling blue eyes which the midwife had informed him would probably change colour nevertheless he was already a doting father.
"Guys this is Kyran," he told Dan and Peyton.
Peyton smiled and took the baby from Matt.
"What's his middle name?" she asked.
"Aaron. Maddy chose his name," Matt replied.
Peyton smiled and cooed at the baby. When Maddy had been released from hospital the next day she took a few days to get used to having a baby around the house before she went to visit her family with him. Everyone was taken by the baby and a grand party had been held in his honour at her parents' home.
