Chapter Twelve- Just Hang On

After a restless night in labour Stevie spent the morning tidying her desk and finishing any unfinished work. She clutched her bump as another contraction shot through her body, she whinced in pain. "You ok Stevie?" Mickey asked from his desk, Stevie turned to face him "Yeah I'm fine... just cramp" She smiled to him. Mickey nodded and glanced back to his computer screen. Stevie was determined to finish her last day at work, the baby just had to wait a few more hours. Stevie watched as people came and went through CID, out on cases or to conduct interviews. Stevie smiled as Smithy approached her "Hey Moss" he grinned as he knelt down in front of her, she smiled as he rubbed his hands over her swollen bump. She placed her hand on top of his and grinned "It wont be long now" he looked up into her eyes "I cant wait Stevie, a few more weeks and our baby will be with us" Stevie grinned, she knew it was more like a few more hours. She was tempted to tell him but he would send her home. "I'll see you later gorgeous" he grinned before gently kissing her lips and walking away. "DS Moss my office please" Neils voice echoed around the CID, Stevie stood up, gritting her teeth as another contraction ripped through her body. she forced a smile onto her face as she shut the office door behind herself. "How are you today Stevie?" Neil smiled at her. She grinned "Im ok Gov" she replied. "Have you got your paperwork finished?" he asked. She nodded slowly as she felt her waters trickle down her legs. "Gov" she smiled as he stood up to open the door for her, he turned back to her, noticing the pain on her face he walked over to her and helped her into a seat. "The baby is coming" Stevie muttered through another contraction. Neil stared at her in disbelief "Hang on... I'll get some help..." Stevie watched as he walked to the door and left the room she clutched her bump as another contraction shot through her. Neil glanced around CID "Sergeant Masters..." Jo turned to look at him, as she stood up he shouted "Hurry up Jo." she hurried into the office and over to stevie as she screamed again. "Ok" she smiled "Stay calm Stevie, you will be just fine" Stevie screamed again. "Gov can you get us an ambulance" Jo asked and he left the room. "Right Stevie I think I should have a look... I have delievered a baby before, I'll be able to tell what is going on" Stevie smiled and nodded. "How often are the contarctions?" Jo smiled a concerend look on her face.
Stevie screamed in pain again before muttering "About every two minutes, it started last night" Jo looked at her in disbelief "Why didnt you tell me! The baby is crowning stevie, its coming there is no time to move you". Jo moved towards the door and shouted into the large room "Right Stevie's in labour, Grace I need you to help me, Terry go to custody and get some blankets and Mickey you need to find Smithy now" Jo glanced back to Stevie as she screamed out in pain, "Jo" she called "I cant have the baby here, I need Smithy..." Jo smiled "Its ok... Im guna stay with you the whole time ok... and Grace will hold your hand" Jo pointed to Grace as she walked into the room. Jo smiled up at Stevie "It wont be long now, I think you should move onto the floor" Jo helped Stevie from the chair and down onto the floor. Stevie screamed out as another contraction filled her body "Jo... I cant do this it hurts... I want Smithy" Jo smiled at Stevie, "He will be here Stevie just think about the baby for now".

Smithy and Callum stood at the burger van, they had spent an hour at the hospital to find they had no case, they deserved a cuppa. "So how is life under the thumb of Stevie Moss?" Callum joked. Smithy looked up from his drink "Wouldnt change a thing mate, cant think of anyone I'd rather be under." Both men laughed as they threw there empty drinks cups into a nearby bin. "Serria oscar one from sierra oscar" Smithys radio crackled to life. "Recieving" Smithy replied before smiling to Callum "Another wild goose chase" he sighed. His radio sounded again "Smithy its Mickey, you need to get back here now, Stevie is in labour... the baby is coming". Smithy and Callum jumped into the car "Im on my way" Smithy grinned down the radio. Smithy looked to Callum sitting next to him "Im gunna be a dad Callum... what if I cant do this?" Callum laughed and glanced at Smithy from the wheel of the car for a split second "Dont talk wet Smithy. You can do this... you Stevie and the baby, this is your life now." Smithy nodded and pulled his phone form his pocket, he knew there was one person he had to let know. "Hello" the voice answered. "stevie is in labour, the baby is on its way" He grinned down the phone "Im gunna be a dad Gina" his eyes welled up. "Thats wonderfull Smithy, how is Stevie doing?" she asked. "I dont know Im not there Ma'am" He replied, he had never really got out of the habit of calling Gina Ma'am even though he now had her job. "Inspector Smith I suggest you get off the phone and get to your girlfriend now and see your child come into the world!" She demanded. "Im on my way, she is at Sunhill and we are about ten minutes away" he replied "You get to that nick Smithy, your baby is counting on it" she laughed "Ill come and see you later, give Stevie my best... oh and Dale you will make an amazing father." Gina hung up the phone and Smithy grinned to himself as they sped round the bends.

Stevie gripped onto Graces hand as another contraction ripped through her body. "Ahhh your hurting me Stevie." Grace moaned.
Jo glared at her "Do you want to swap places?" Grace just shook her head. Stevie let out another scream, "Ok darling" Jo began "You need to push through the contractions" Stevie shook her head "I cant... I cant do it without Smithy" She let out another scream "Come on Stevie, you need to push... come on you can do it Stevie". The door swung open "Smithy?" stevie shouted as she glanced over her shoulder. Mickey shook his head "He is on his way" he replied,passing the blankets to Jo, "Is there anything I can do?" he asked. Jo looked up "Yeah get us some bottles of water, and chase up the ambulance." Mickey nodded as he shut the door behind himself. Stevie screamed out again, "Stevie listen to me... breath through the contractions and push!" Jo glanced up at Stevies frightened face. "It hurts" she cried. Jo smiled "I know it does stevie... but you and Smithy put this baby in there so you gotta help me get it out... come on a little bit longer and your have your baby". stevie nodded and began to push through another contraction. "good... good... well done Stevie" Jo smiled "Keep going". Grace pulled her hand away from Stevie "Your really hurting me" she sighed. Mickey walked back into the room and placed the water on the floor. "Mickey hold her hand" Jo ordered "Grace go and chase up Smithy" Mickey knelt down at Stevies side and gripped onto her hand "Smithy cant miss it" Stevie cried through the next contraction. Jo glanced up to Mickey and mouthed "He has less than ten minutes" before looking to Stevie "He will be here as soon as he can Stevie".
