Mick took out everyone between him and Len as he made hie way to his lover who was sitting on the ground holding his stomach in pain. Suddenly, Rip's voice came over the comms.

"Get him to the Waverider! If you can't make it that far, get him as close as possible and I'll meet you there. Sara, help them." Mick grunted in acknowledgment and hefted Len to his feet. Sara appeared, as if by magic, as Mick was lifting Len into his arms, bridal style. Sara fought off the men trying to attack them while Mick ran behind her carrying Len, who abruptly let out a loud yell.

"I can't! I can't! You have to stop! She's coming!" They had just made it to the cover of trees when Mick gently lay Len on the ground. Panicked blue eyes met Mick's and the older man brushed tears, that Len hadn't realized were falling, from his cheeks.

"Breathe, babe." he said softly. Len could only nod as another wave of pain washed over him.

"I'm on my way to your location!" Rip said in their ears. "Go ahead and get his pants off. Everyone else, get to the Waverider and get ready to take off. We'll be there as soon as possible." Sara averted her eyes as Len lay back and Mick gently began undoing his pants. She focused on Len's face, which was contorted in pain. Mick took his jacket off and draped it over Len's legs to preserve his modesty.

"Rip'll be here in a minute." he reassured, moving up to the side of Len's body so he could hold his hand.

About ten minutes later, Rip appeared, running from the direction of the Waverider. Len squeezed Mick's hand in a painful grip as another contraction wracked his body.

"Alright, it's too early. How did this happen?" Rip asked, taking his duster off and kneeling on the ground as Len writhed in pain.

"Savage." he ground out. "He hit...me-" his words were cut off with another yell. Rip looked under Mick's jacket and paled.

"She's definitely coming. Sara." he said looking up at the blonde. "Kneel behind Leonard and let him push against you. Mick, keep him as calm as possible." Mick grunted in affirmation and Sara moved up behind Len, helping him to sit up. Len groaned in pain as he was moved and Mick squeezed his hand to ground him. "Leonard, when I tell you to, push, alright?" Len nodded his head frantically and waited. When another contraction hit, Rip instructed him to push. Len squeezed Mick's hand in a crushing grip and pushed against Sara, who was whispering comforting words softly in his ear. He yelled with the force it took to push.

"I can't do it!" Len yelled, shaking his head. Mick wiped more tears off Len's face.

"Yes, you can!" he said vehemently.

"You can do it, Leonard! I can see her head. She's almost here." Rip yelled. After a few more pushes, Rip held his hands out as the baby girl slipped out. Everyone's eyes were trained on the tiny thing Rip was holding with baited breath. They took a sigh of relief when she started crying. Rip lay the baby on his duster, wrapping the tiny body in it. Sara and Mick grinned while Len cried with happiness, a large smile on his sweaty face. Sara eased him back and moved to sit by Mick, looking over his shoulder at the baby.

"Awww, she's so cute!" Sara squealed. Mick and Len both looked proud. Rip handed the baby girl to Len and he looked down at her tiny face, smiling to himself. She opened her eyes and he saw that she had his icy blue eyes.

"So, what are you going to name her?" Sara asked Mick, her and Rip's attention temporarily on the larger man.

"Dunno." he grunted, looking back down at Len, who wasn't moving. Their baby was squirming on his chest, but Len's eyes were closed and he was deathly still. Mick's eyes widened and he took the baby, drawing Rip and Sara's attention to Len. Rip moved swiftly and lay his fingers along Len's carotid artery. He looked up, fear written across his face.

"There's no pulse!" he yelled, looking under the jacket. "He's hemorrhaging! Sara, get to the Waverider, inform the others, and get the med bay ready! Mick, I'll carry the baby, you carry Len." Rip pulled out a knife and cut the baby's umbilical cord.

"Right." Mick nodded, eyes swimming with tears he refused to shed. Sara took off running toward the ship. Mick handed over his baby girl, the only tie to Len he would have if the man were to die, and hefted Len into his arms. He and Rip took off at the highest speed they dared to go. When they made it back to the ship, Ray, Carter, Kendra, Jax, and Stein were waiting by the door. They all stared as the two men ran in with Len and his baby. As soon as the two were on board, the door was closed and Rip and Mick ran for the med bay. Once they were there, Mick gently lay Len down on the bed Sara had prepared and stepped back. Rip handed him his baby and stepped over to Len. Picking up two small pads, he maneuvered Len's shirt out of the way and stuck them to his chest.

"Gideon, start defibrillation." he ordered.

"Yes, captain. Please stand back." Gideon responded. A moment later, Len's prone body jerked as his chest was shocked. They all waited a moment, looking at the screen that showed Len's vitals.

"Again!" he said when there was no change. They went through the same motions over and over for what seemed like forever, but was closer to ten minutes. Finally, Len's heart started beating again.

"Sir, it seems Mr. Snart is suffering from placenta accreta." Gideon informed.

"The hell's that?" Mick growled.

"Placenta accreta is when the placenta attaches to the muscular layer of the uterine wall instead of the uterine lining. I can stabilize him and put him in stasis so we can time jump, but he will need his uterus removed to remedy the situation. Rip nodded thoughtfully.

"Do it, Gideon."

~x~x~x~

Rip stormed onto the bridge with Mick and Sara.

"Where's the baby?" Kendra asked.

"Med bay." Mick grunted back. He hadn't wanted to, but Rip had explained that the only way a baby could be safe while time jumping was to stay in the med bay.

"How's Mr. Snart?" asked Stein. The three had sour looks on their faces and it was Rip who answered.

"Not good. Gideon has him in stasis so we can time jump. We're going to the future so we can have a team of doctors attend to him."

"Is that smart?" Jax inquired. Rip looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the way you explained it, this ability of men to give birth was developed after Per Degaton released the Armageddon Virus. That puts us right at the takeover of Savage. It's too dangerous."

"Jax is right. We can't risk taking him there." Sara said. They all thought for a moment, wondering what to do when Mick spoke up.

"What about S.T.A.R Labs in twenty-sixteen?" Rip looked at him like he was crazy, but Stein and Ray began nodding and smiling.

"Yes! Doctor Snow is sure to know how to handle this." Stein said. "With her, Mr. Ramon, and Mr. Allen, I believe they can help."

"Me too. If anyone can help us, it'll be them." Ray added.

"Well, it's decided. Gideon, plot a course for Central City, twenty-sixteen."

"Yes, Captain."

"Everyone, strap in."
