Alright, here's Chapter 6. This chapter leads from Ben & Kevin's fight to the birth of Kenny. How's this going to turn out? Read on and find out and once again I'll be breaking it into parts so it'll be easier to read:

Bellwood Hospital

"It's going to be okay Kevin, you'll see," said Ben

Kevin turned around and punched Ben in the face which caused him fall back and hit the wall. Kai and the others rushed over to break up the fight. Frank and Carl held back Kevin as Kai rushed over to help Ben up. Ben had a bloody nose.

"I asked you for one simple favor and now Gwen is in the hospital because of you!" shouted Kevin

"Stop it Kevin! You're not making the situation any better," said Harvey

"SHUT UP HARVEY! MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!" snapped Kevin

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" shouted Natalie

Kevin grew quiet and so did everyone else.

"In case you forgot, this is a hospital. If you're going to yell, take it outside. My daughter does not deserve to wake up to this fight," said Natalie

Kevin broke free from Frank and Carl's grasp and stormed outside as he swore under his breath. Ben tried to follow, but his mother stopped him.

"I don't think you should speak to him right now. Here," said Sandra handing Ben a hanky for his bloody nose

"Thanks," said Ben

"Let me talk to him," said Kai

"No, I don't think that's a good idea," said Ben

"But there's something important I must tell him."

"Kai..."
"Ben, just let me talk to him. I'll only be 5 minutes."

And with that, she headed outside to look for Kevin. Everybody else waited near the big doors for any news on Gwen. Natalie started getting upset. Frank pulled her into a hug.

"Everything's going to be alright. Our daughter is strong," he said

"I just wish that they wouldn't take this long," said Natalie

Suddenly, Max rushed in.

"I just found out. How's Gwen and the baby?" he asked

"We don't know yet dad," said Frank

"They're still running test," said Carl

Ben felt guilty and he knew that Kevin was right. If only he had escorted Gwen and Kai somewhere safe before he took on that alien, none of this would have happened. Meanwhile, Kai was browsing around outside the hospital until he found Kevin sitting on a bench that was on a corner.

"Kevin," said Kai approaching him

"Go away, Kai," he responded

"I need to tell you something."

"What?"

"Look, that alien attack was unexpected. Ben was just trying to do his job."

"By getting my wife involved and endangering our son?"

"You know why she fought Kevin?"

"Why?"

"Because she wanted to prove to you that she can handle anything, no matter what the situation is."

"What?"

"Look, I know you meant well protecting her from harm, but it went too far and Gwen was feeling helpless."

"But Ben shouldn't have let her fought."
"He tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. Gwen never takes orders from Ben, you know that."

"Alright, I get it! Please go back inside, I need some time to myself."

Kai got up slowly and headed back inside. She sat next to Ben who was still holding the hanky against his nose.

"How did it go?" asked Ben

"I told him what he needed to know. Now he's just thinking about it," said Kai

10 minutes passed and Kevin came back inside and sat by his mother. She grabbed his hand and looked at him, but he didn't look at her. Kevin looked like he was lost in his own thoughts. Suddenly, a doctor came out from behind the double doors and asked for Kevin. He immediately shot up from his chair and rushed over. The others followed.

"How's Gwen? Is she alright?" asked Kevin

"Don't worry, she's going to be okay," the doctor replied

"What about the baby?"

"The baby's alright too."

Kevin sighed with relief and so did everyone else. Just knowing that they were okay helped them relax.

"However, whatever Gwen was doing put a lot of stress on her and the baby which made her experience something called 'pregnancy hypertension.' She's lucky because it could have been serious," said the doctor

"Can I see her?" asked Kevin

"Yes, we just put her in her room. She should be awake too."

Kevin was given Gwen's room information and he was on his way over. Natalie wanted to go with Kevin, but Max stopped her.

"We should give them sometime alone. They need to talk," he said

"Alright, but I get to visit Gwen next," said Natalie

Gwen's Hospital Room

Once Kevin found Gwen's room he rushed in and then stopped. He just looked at Gwen and started to feel his heart grow heavy. Gwen still wore the oxygen mask and had two different kinds of machines attached to her. She also looked a bit pale with slight dark circles under her eyes. Gwen opened her eyes and looked around the room. She then turned her attention to Kevin.

"Kevin?" Gwen said in a groggy tone

Kevin immediately rushed to her side. He took her hand and then tears started forming in his eyes. Kevin then leaned over and pulled Gwen into his arms and just held her.

"Thank God you're okay, both of you. I was so scared," he said as tears streamed down his face.

"I'm so sorry Kevin. I didn't mean for this to happen," said Gwen

"No, I'm the one who's sorry Gwen. It's my fault."

"Well, what did the doctor tell you?"

"He said you experienced something called 'pregnancy hypertension'."

"Well that's funny, because you won't let me do any work around the house."

"Gwen, you and I both know that it was caused by overusing your powers."

"Well you were right about that. I shouldn't have done that because I could have hurt our baby."

Gwen then suddenly felt her baby boy move. She grabbed Kevin's hand and placed it on her stomach. Kevin smiled when he felt him kick. He then leaned down and kissed Gwen's stomach.

"Daddy's sorry," said Kevin

He kissed Gwen on the head and began to leave the room.

"Where are you going?" asked Gwen

"Our folks are here and I'm sure they want to see you," said Kevin

"They're here too?"

"Yeah and so is your aunt & uncle, Max, Kai, and... Ben."

Later that night, the Tennysons and Levins were relieved after they got to see Gwen. Everything was going to be okay, well almost everything. So later on that month, Gwen was released from the hospital and Kai was given a baby shower (along with Ben's nursery surprise). Gwen attended, but for some reason, Kevin and Ben were giving each other the silent treatment. They were avoiding each other ever since the incident. Gwen and Kai have noticed, but decided to let this problem solve itself. Neither one of them wanted to stress over it.

Kenny's Birth:

(2 Months Later)

Kai (9 months) Gwen (7 months)

It was midnight when Ben awoke to the sound of Kai exhaling and it didn't sound like a normal tired exhale either. Ben sat up and saw Kai leaning back on pillows and her head tilted back resting on the bed frame. Both of her hands rested on her swollen stomach.

"Kai, are you okay?" Ben asked

"Yeah, I just can't sleep. I've also been feeling weird all day," she replied

"Are you hurting?"

"No, not really. It's just mostly my back."

Ben didn't like the sound of that. Kai then slowly leaned forward away from the pillows and bed frame, got up, and started leaving the bedroom. Ben got up quickly and grabbed her hand.

"Where are you going?" he asked

"I'm going to get something to eat, that leftover chicken is calling," said Kai

"Why don't you let me get it?"

"No, I want to get it. I want to be up right now."

"Alright, but come back to bed afterwards please."

Kai went into the kitchen as Ben straightened out their bed and he put an extra pillow on Kai's side. Suddenly, Ben heard a crash coming from the kitchen. He ran out of the bedroom and into the kitchen to find a broken plate shattered all over the floor and Kai kneeling down holding onto one of the drawer handles. Ben quickly brushed the broken glass away from Kai and knelt down next to her.

"Are you alright?" asked Ben

"Yeah, I just lost my balance," said Kai

"No wonder you almost slipped. There's water on the floor."

"Ben, that was actually me."

Ben gasped for he suddenly realized that Kai's water broke. He helped her up but she continued to lean forward and grasp the drawer handle.

"Ben, it's time," said Kai

"Alright, let's get going," he responded

"I need to change my clothes."

"Need help getting to the bedroom?"

"No. Just go load the car and call Dr. Marie."

Kai went into the bedroom to change as Ben grabbed the overnight bags and put them in the trunk. He also grabbed the baby car seat and set it up in the back. He then called Dr. Marie and informed her what had happened. Once everything was taken care of, Ben rushed back inside to see Kai leaning against the counter.

"Alright, let's go!" said Ben

"We're not going with you dressed like that," said Kai snickering

Ben looked down to see that he was still in his pajamas that had penguins all over them.

"I'll go change," he said

"You do that," said Kai

As Ben went to go change, Kai went into the baby's room and closed the door. Within 5 minutes, Ben was dressed and ready to go. He went into the living room, but didn't see Kai.

"Kai?" Ben called

"Just a minute!" she called from the baby's room

Ben went over to see what Kai was doing. He went to open the door, but discovered it locked.

"Kai, what are you doing in there? We have to go now or the baby's going to be born in the car!" said Ben

"Ben, just go start the car. I'll be out in a minute, I'm just taking care of something."

"Please make it quick."

Ben found it rather odd that Kai locked herself in the baby's room. What was she doing in there? Well, Ben shook off the idea and went to go start the car. He got in and turned the ignition. Just as the car started, Kai was coming out the front door, but she knelt down clutching her stomach. Ben jumped out of the car and rushed to her. He helped her up and into the car and they were on their way to the hospital.

"Kai, what were you doing in the baby's room?" asked Ben

"I was writing in the baby's book," said Kai

"And you locked the door for that?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I have a habit of locking a door behind me when I enter a room."

Before the conversation could continue, Kai let out a loud moan. Another sharp pain hit her and it was stronger this time. Ben took her hand and she grasped it.

"Remember what they taught at the Lamaze class," said Ben

He began the breathing technique and Kai repeated. When the pain passed, Kai released her grasp. Ben kissed her hand and then let go. They were almost at the hospital. Ben then grabbed his cell phone and began calling his parents. He knew that it was late at night, but he figured that they would want to know.

"I'm glad you called sweetie. We'll let everyone else know and be over there soon," said Sandra

"Sounds great mom. Bye," said Ben

He hung up and continued to drive. Soon, they arrived at the hospital and met up with Dr. Marie. She wheeled Kai into her room.

"I'll be back in a bit to check on you," said Dr. Marie

"Okay," said Kai

The door closed and Ben helped Kai to the bed. He then pulled her into a hug and kissed her.

"I can't believe it. We get to see our son soon. This doesn't seem real," said Ben

"It does to me," said Kai

"This has to be the greatest day of our lives."

"Ben?"

"Hmm?"

"While I get changed, will you go get the overnight bags?"

"Sure. Are you going to be okay being alone for a few minutes?"

"Yeah, I will."

Ben kissed Kai again before leaving the room and heading to the car to get the overnight bags. Once he got them and started walking back into the hospital, his cell phone went off. He looked at the caller ID and it was Max.

"Grandpa?" Ben asked as he answered

"Hey, I just heard. How's Kai doing?" Max asked

"She's doing great, but she's been acting weird lately."

"How so?"

"Well before we got in the car, she had herself locked in the baby's room. She told me in the car that she was writing in the baby's book. I don't see why she has to lock the door. She had done this more than once."

"Hmm, well I wouldn't worry. She's just probably has something for the baby that she doesn't want you to see yet."

"What could she be hiding?"

"Who knows, but now I want to know how you are doing?"

"I'm okay, but I can't help feeling scared and excited at the same time."

"I know the feeling Ben. It's normal for all the dads to feel like that when their first baby is coming into the world."

"Well, I better get back to Kai. She might be wondering where I'm at."
"Alright. Send my regards to her."
"I will Grandpa. Bye."

"Bye."

Ben hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. He then headed back to Kai's room with the overnight bags.

Bellwood Hospital

Delivery Room

3:35am

Ben's parents and Max arrived at the hospital around 2 am. Ben greeted them and let them know what was happening. Sandra got to see Kai and she got to stay with her until Kai was wheeled into the delivery room. Kai was then transferred onto a new bed that almost looked like one of those fold up lawn chairs. With the pain more intense, Kai began to feel that something was wrong. Ben did everything he could to make Kai comfortable. He just hated seeing her in pain. She let out another cry and began to crush Ben's hand. Ben winced at Kai's tight grasp, but he told himself that it was nothing compared to what Kai was going through.

"Ben, I don't feel so good," whimpered Kai

"It's okay, you're doing great," he replied as he kissed her.

Dr. Marie was putting on clean gloves.

"This baby is coming now," she said

Ben grew with excitement, but Kai let out a whimper. He could feel her hand starting to tremble.

"I'm scared," whimpered Kai

"Don't be scared. You're going to be a mother. Keep that happy thought," said Ben

Kai then let out a yell. Ben grabbed both of her hands and let her grip his. Kai started her breathing pattern again. The last contraction was intense, but it soon faded once more. Kai then began to feel pressure building up and rather quickly too.

"I need to push!" Kai cried out

"I know Kai, but wait for the next contraction. Just keep breathing," said Dr. Marie

It didn't take long until the next contraction hit. Kai screamed as she crushed Ben's hand harder. Ben let out a whimper.

"Alright Kai. Push on three. One, two, three, push!" said Dr. Marie

Kai began pushing her hardest. She didn't want to deal with the pain anymore. She let out another cry.

"Good Kai, keep pushing!" said Dr. Marie

Kai continued and let out a horrid scream that almost made Ben jump out of his skin.

"He's almost here!," said Dr. Marie

Ben looked over to see and was amazed by what he saw. His son already halfway into the world. Dr. Marie was trying to wipe away some of the fluid.

"Oh my God! I've never seen anything like it!" he exclaimed with excitement

"BEN!" screamed Kai

He quickly turned his attention to Kai.

"Kai, I now need you to push with all your might," said Dr. Marie

"I CAN'T! IT HURTS!" she screamed

"Kai, you can do it. I know you can!" said Ben

He kissed her. Kai then used all the strength she had left for the final push. Within a few seconds, the room filled with a new sound of a baby crying. Ben locked his eyes on his newborn son.

"Here he is, congratulations!" said Dr. Marie

"Kai he's beautiful, look," said Ben

But when he turned his attention to Kai, he felt the color in his face drain. Kai had blacked out. She was pale in the face, dark circles formed under her eyes. The machines attached to her started beeping. This alerted Dr. Marie and the nurse.

"Oh my God, she fell into shock!" said Dr. Marie

"WHAT!" screamed Ben

"Her blood pressure is dropping fast!" said the nurse.

Ben took Kai's hand and called her name, but there was no response. Dr. Marie quickly cut the umbilical cord and the nurse took the baby to the table to clean him. In 10 seconds, Dr. Marie along with other medical specialist transferred Kai onto a medical bed and rushed her into one of the emergency care rooms. Ben wanted to follow but was stopped.

"You have to stay here. Tend to your son," said Dr. Marie

She disappeared with Kai. Ben couldn't believe that this was happening to her. He then turned his attention to his son who was still crying as the nurse cleaned him off. Afterwards, he was wrapped in a soft blue blanket and then placed him into Ben's arms.

"Hi baby," Ben said gazing down at his newborn

The baby's crying began to cease. Once he stopped, he looked up at Ben. His eyes were green like his daddy's and he had the same skin tone as Kai. Ben smiled as tears formed into his eyes. He kissed his newborn and stroked the side of his face with his finger.

"Hey, Mr. Tennyson?" asked the nurse tapping him on the shoulder

"Yes?" asked Ben turning towards her

"You can go out to the waiting room and show him to your family if you like."

"Sure."

The baby yawned and started to doze off to sleep. Ben smiled as he walked out to the waiting room with his newborn. Ben knew everyone would be happy to see this new bundle of joy, but he also worried about their reaction when they found out about Kai. Ben finally reached the waiting room. Not a lot of people were around, but he spotted his family asleep in the chairs. Ben knelt down in front of his mother and tapped her. She awoke and saw Ben with his new bundle of joy. She gasped with delight as a smile spread across her face. She took the newborn into her arms as Carl and Max started waking up.

"Oh Ben, he's so beautiful. He looks just like you," said Sandra

"He seems to take after Kai," Ben replied

"What's his name?" asked Carl

"Kenneth Markus Tennyson, but you can just call him Kenny," said Ben

Everyone smiled and turned their attention back to Kenny. He opened his eyes again and stared at the new faces.

"Hi Kenny," said Sandra

"That name suits you," said Carl

"You're the start of this new generation," said Max

Kenny's eyes widened and everyone laughed. Ben was glad that everyone adored Kenny, but he was concerned about Kai. Ben got up and went back to the big doors. He rubbed the back of his head as he sighed. Max took notice while Carl and Sandra were distracted with Kenny. He got up and approached Ben.

"Ben, what's the matter?" asked Max

"Huh?" Ben responded a bit startled

"I know you well Ben. I feel that something is wrong. Tell me what happened."

"Kai blacked out after she gave birth."

"Is she alright?"

"I'm not sure. They wheeled her to the emergency care room. Nobody is telling me anything."

Suddenly, Dr. Marie came into the waiting room. Ben ran over and so did Max. Carl and Sandra took notice. They got up and walked over to the others with newborn Kenny.

"What is it? What's wrong with Kai?" asked Ben

"I think we should talk in private," said Dr. Marie

"Ben, what's going on?" asked Sandra

"Mom, just stay here and watch Kenny for me," he responded

Ben disappeared behind the door with Dr. Marie. Carl and Sandra just stood there confused.

"Come on, I'll tell you what happened," said Max

"Pardon, but I have to take Kenny to the nursery now. He's probably hungry," said the nurse

She took Kenny from Sandra and disappeared behind the double doors and then Max escorted Sandra and Carl to the other side of the waiting room. Meanwhile, Dr. Marie escorted Ben to the corner of the hall.

"Well, what's wrong?" asked Ben

"All I can say is that she wasn't in shock, but fell ill after giving birth. This does happen to some women. We did what we could Ben, but Kai is very weak. She lost a little more blood than she was supposed to," said Dr. Marie

"Is she going to be okay?"

"That's all up to her Ben. She's in a situation where it's a 50/50 chance."

"Oh God."

"Ben, I'll be keeping a close watch on her. I'm going to do everything I can for her."

"When can I see her?"

"Now if you want to. We just put her back in her room."

End of Chapter 6. Hate to end it here, but this Chapter went on for awhile. I'll have the next chapter posted soon.
