"What time is the birthing class" Mac asked as he stepped into Stella's office making her jump, "Jeez Mac do you want our baby to come early, don't sneak up on me like that" Stella half smiled as she got on her feet, stretching her back she smiled at Mac, "It's at two thirty, we are going with Lindsay and Danny" came the reply as she rubbed her bump.
"You Hungry" Mac asked as he stepped closer, placing his hand on her tummy he smiled at the little kick from inside, "I could eat" Stella replied, "Ok lets go my treat" taking Stella's hand Mac led her out of the office and out of the lab, they walked hand in hand to the little diner across the road, taking a seat in the last booth Stella glanced at the menu, "I will have fries a loaded burger and a large rocky road ice cream" she looked up at the young waitress who took the order, "I will have the same minus the ice cream" Mac smiled as he handed both menus back.
"This baby loves ice cream, "Stella smiled as she scoped another spoon full into her mouth, "Well I think he or she defiantly takes that from mommy" Mac grinned as he sipped his latte, Stella chuckled at his remark before offering him some her ice cream.
"Hi Mac hi Stella" Lindsay smiled as she greeted her friends as they stepped into the birthing class, Danny stood next to his wife smiling at his bosses, "Ok would all parents to be take a seat on the floor" came the voice from the front of the room, Mac Stella Danny and Lindsay sat on each of the bean bags that sat on the floor in front of them, "Now today I would like all dads to sit at the front of the moms, and we will have role reversal, today the dads will be giving birth"
Mac looked at Stella before glancing at Lindsay who was laughing at Danny's shocked face, the men reluctantly sat down and watched the other dads to be as they pretended to give birth, they all moaned and panted which made Mac feel uncomfortable, "Stella I can't do this" Mac said, "It's Ok no one is watching" Stella replied, Mac glanced at Danny who was heavy breathing and panting, Lindsay tried her best not to laugh, Mac tried his best but he couldn't get into the pretend labour, "Sorry" he said as he looked up at Stella, "It's Ok we can do it at home along later" came the reply, "I know how to get you moaning and panting" Stella whispered as she brushed up against his body, "Stella" came the quick reply as she walked away leaving Mac to his thoughts, and to get his slight erection down before anyone noticed in the class.
Mac was relieved the day he had longed for had finally arrived Stella was now 8 months pregnant and officially on desk duty, Lindsay was on maternity leave as her due date was a few weeks away but she still sat in the lab most days keeping Stella company and talking everything baby.
"So Mac must be happy you are in the office all day now" Lindsay said as she got comfortable on the couch in Stella's office.
"Yes he is but I can't get peace every whimper or ach I get and he is practically dragging me to the hospital" Stella smiled.
"He just loves you that's all and is concerned Danny is the same with me" Lindsay replied, both women smiled at each other, hearing the office door open they both looked up.
"Stella I have a case will you be Ok for a little while, call me if you need anything" Mac said as he popped his head in the room on his way to the lifts, "Hi Lindsay" he smiled noticing his younger lab worker, Lindsay waved from her position on the couch.
"I will be fine now go" Stella smiled, Mac quickly kissed Stella goodbye he left the lab and joined Danny at the crime scene.
"I see Lindsay can't stay away" Mac smiled as he stood at Danny's side and looked at the crime scene
"I know she gets board at home alone and I know she misses Stella, it's good that they can share this experience" Danny replied, both men constantly checked their phones in case there was some baby news.
Both returning to the lab a few hours later Mac and Danny went in search of their other halves, they found them in the break room sitting with Adam as he chatted to the baby bumps, making all sorts of funny noises, which made Stella and Lindsay laughed.
"Having fun" Mac asked as walked across to Stella and placing a kiss on her lips, Danny meanwhile did the same to Lindsay.
"Oh uncle Adam is keeping the baby's entertained" Stella smiled.
"Ok well we just have a few things to process then we can head home" Mac replied, "Sounds good" Stella smiled.
"Adam you ready to work" Mac asked as he stepped towards the door, "Oh yes sorry boss" came the stuttered reply, Adam stood up leaving Lindsay and Stella to sprawl on the couch.
Wrapping up the case Mac went in search of Stella, bumping into Danny in the corridor he could see worry upon his face, "Danny what is it" Mac asked.
"Lindsay water baby on way" Danny muttered as he tried to form a sentence, "Ok just keep calm we will get her to the hospital don't worry" Mac said as they walked towards the break room, Lindsay was sat holding her tummy, a big pool of water lay at her feet, Stella was at her side making sure she remembered her breathing exercises.
"Ok let's get to the hospital" Mac said as he helped Lindsay stand, Danny stood at one side as Mac stood at the other, as the contractions rippled over Lindsay's tummy she, cried in pain, "I don't want to have this baby in the lab" she wailed.
"We will get you to the hospital don't worry" Danny said in his best reassuring calm voice, Stella watched as her friend cried in pain, holding her bump she started to dread her due date, knowing that there was no words to help take the pain away Stella simply laid a comforting hand on Lindsay's.
"I need to push" Lindsay screamed as she sat in the back of Mac's SUV, Stella sat at one side as Danny sat on the other.
"Just a few more blocks you can hold it baby, you are doing great" Danny said with lots of encouragement.
"No I need to push"
Glancing in his mirror Mac could see Lindsay's panicked face, slowing down he pulled into a small side street.
"Ok Lindsay we need to move you" Stella said as she gently turned Lindsay so that her head was in Danny's lap, spreading her legs Stella took a deep breath as he saw the baby's head was showing.
"Mac I need your help" she said as he climbed out of the driver's seat, crouching beside Stella in the back seat, Mac urged Lindsay to push, "that's it good girl" Danny said as he felt the grip of her hands on his.
Stella rubbed her back gently as a mild pain swept over her body, "You ok" Mac asked.
"yes just stiff from sitting all day," came the reply, "Ok Lindsay one last push" Mac said, with that Lindsay screamed as she pushed her baby into the world, pulling his jacket from the front seat, Mac wrapped it around the baby, before placing in on Lindsay's chest, "You have a baby boy" he beamed as he looked at the new parents," I have a son" Danny smiled proudly, "Hey my boy" he cooed as he kissed the baby's head Mac congratulated the couple before turning to Stella he saw a look of fear In her eyes.
"My water just broke" she said as the first contraction hit her lips trembles as fear also swept across her body, she was just gone 8 months, Lindsay and Danny looked up from gazing at their new soon to see the panic on Mac and Stella's faces, "I will drive" Mac said as he jumped from the back into the front seat, reaching out her hand Lindsay reached for Stella's as her contractions started.
Mac pressed his foot down on the pedal one baby being born in the back of his SUV was enough for one night; he needed to make it to the hospital.
