The two sliding glass doors of the hospital opened up just as Mimi rushes Maureen through the doors with Maureen's mother hot on their tails. Once the three were inside, they made their way up to the front desk were a nurse was sitting. The woman looked up as Maureen's mother reached the desk.

"My daughter is in labor." She stated, before being handed some paperwork that needed to be filled out. Which she was happy to take care of as long as someone was going to help her daughter.

After the Nurse handed the woman the paperwork, she paged for a wheelchair to take Maureen into a room where she could wait until it was time for her to have the baby. A male nurse quickly made his way over with a wheelchair and helped the pregnant woman into it before wheeling her down the hall. Mimi following quickly.

"Meems, where's Mark?" She asked in distress as a wave of pain hit her.

Mimi grabbed a hold of her hand the moment she reached her, moving down the hallway quickly. "He's on his way. Don't worry." She assured her.

When Mark and Roger had gotten word that Maureen had gone into labor at the baby shower, the two quickly flagged down the first cab they saw and had him dash to the hospital. They both hoped that Maureen wouldn't have the baby until they arrived. All they could do was wait until the cabbie got them to their destination and waiting sucked.

Mark was frantic the whole ride, just hoping and preying that he would be able to get there in time for his baby's birth. He wanted to be there to hold Maureen's hand as he coached her to push and he wanted to be there to hear his daughter's first cry as she entered the world and he wanted to be the one to cut the cord.

"What if we don't make it in time?" He stressed turning to look at Roger.

"We'll make it, Mark." He guaranteed, before turning his head to the driver. "Can we go any faster?"

In Maureen's hospital room, she laid there in the comfort of knowing that her best friend Mimi was there sitting beside her with a cup full of ice chips while she tried her best to endure the pain she was in every so often. Just waiting for her doctor to tell her that it was time to push this kid out of her and to be honest that was all she wanted at this point. If you had asked her about giving birth when she woke up that morning she would have said she didn't want to bring her daughter into the world, she wanted to keep her where she was.

That was then. This was now. She was in pain that seemed to be more and more constant as her time there passed by. Suffering through the misery she was in, all she wanted was Mark to be there and for it to finally be time to see her baby girl.

"Why isn't he here?" Maureen whined, taking another ice chip from the cup and shoving it into her mouth.

"He's coming. They'll be here any moment. Mark isn't going to miss Abby's birth." Mimi tried to convince, gently stroking Maureen's hair some.

Maureen just groaned and chewed on the ice. "I just want this kid outta me."

The words caused Mimi to laugh a bit. Wondering how mean Maureen was going to be the moment Mark was there, cause she had heard about the things women say when they go through childbirth. It made her smile just thinking of all the things that would be said in the delivery room. She almost wished she could have been there to see it.

"She'll be here soon enough."

As Mimi spoke, Maureen quickly gripped her hand and held it tightly as another labor pain hit her hard. It was a big one. So big that it caused Mimi lost some of the feeling in her hand. But she took it in stride, knowing that if her friend could deal with the pain she was in then she could deal with this.

The door to the room opened and much to Maureen's disappointment, in walked Dr. Irons, not Mark. She was there to check to see how far along she was in terms of being dilated. Once she was able see, she looked up at Maureen and smiled.

"Your at 10 centimeters, Maureen. It's time to meet your daughter." Dr. Iron's stepped back and pressed one of the help buttons on the bed to call a few nurses to help her get ready for the delivery.

The news really rocked Maureen as she shifted a bit to sit herself up more. "No, Mark isn't here yet! And I'm not ready!"

"You may not be ready but Abby sure is." Mimi smirked a bit before standing up to get herself ready to leave but she was stopped abruptly when Maureen's hand grabbed a hold of her wrist.

"Meems, don't even think about leaving me!" Maureen growled, not letting go of her friend. "I can't do this alone."

Mimi moved herself back to where she had been sitting and stood beside Maureen before removing the vice like grip she had on her wrist and held it in her hand instead. 'Where the hell is Mark?' She thought to herself.

Once everything was set up for the delivery and Maureen had been prepped, Dr. Iron's wheeled her stool to the foot of the bed and sat herself down. But before she was able to raise up the blanket that covered Maureen, the door burst open by Mark and Roger who rushed inside, panting from their run.

"Did we miss it?" Roger asked looking around a moment before realizing they were just getting started. He cleared his throat then motioned his thumb behind him to the door. "I, uh...I'm going to wait out here."

Mimi let Maureen's hand go and walked over to Roger, grabbing his hand before the two walked out of the room together. Leaving Mark alone in the room with the two nurses, Dr. Irons and a very testy Maureen. He quickly made his way over to where Mimi had been standing and took a hold of her hand to show his support.

"Where the hell have you been?" Maureen snapped suddenly as the Doctor pushed up the blanket and had her place her feet in the stirrups.

"I got here as fast as I could." He tried to explain.

"Maureen, it's time to start pushing now." Dr. Iron's informed, looking up at her from foot of the bed.

"I can't." She said, shook her head some before looking at Mark.

Mark's hand gave her's a light squeeze before nodding his head. "Yes, you can. Your Maureen Johnson...you can do anything."

His words gave her some comfort. She could do anything. She knew that. So, Maureen took in a deep breath and nodded her head as she glanced down at her doctor. Getting ready to do exactly what she was being told to do. And pushing was what she was told to do.

As she began to push, she squeezed her eyes shut as well as gripping Mark's hand even tighter. It was the most difficult thing she had ever had to do in her life. Letting out a small scream as she pushed once more before Dr. Iron's told her to stop. Giving her time to breath.

"I'm never doing this again!" She cried out, shaking her head before running her free hand through her wet hair.

Dr. Iron's could only smile at her claim before looking back up at Maureen. "Okay, Maureen. Again."

"No." She shook her head. "I'm done. Stick a fork in me."

"Come on, Maureen. I need you to push." Iron's pushed. "Your so close to having your daughter. Now, come on. Push."

At the mere thought that her daughter could be in her arms in the next few moments made her cave in. She nods her head and braces herself for the next big push. Gritting her teeth and holding onto Mark's hand tightly while the other held onto one of the nurses.

Wasn't long after convincing Maureen to continue on pushing that the Doctor smiled. "I see the head."

Mark smiled and took a few steps to take a look but never letting go of Maureen's hand. It was kind of a disturbing sight but at the same time it was like looking at a miracle. That was his daughter's head.

"Okay, I got the head out." Dr. Iron's declared, then stared up at Maureen who was sitting there frozen. "Maureen. This is it. One more big push and your going to be a momma."

Tears began to pool in her eyes but she smiled. Again, she braced herself and gave this last push all she had in order to get her baby out of her. Then suddenly, a loud wail of a baby's cry filled the room causing both Mark and Maureen to shed the tears they were holding in.

Just as soon as Maureen heard the sound of her daughter's first cry, she saw Dr. Iron's quickly stand up from her stood and lift up a small gooey baby and immediately places the baby on top of her. Without thinking, her arms wrap protectively around her newborn infant.

"She's so small." Maureen said softly, as a few tears rolled down her cheeks. Adjusting her head so she could look down at her baby, a smile playing on her lips. "Hi baby, I'm your momma."

As Maureen bonded with his newborn daughter, Mark's attention was broken when he heard the doctor say his name to get him to focus on her. Once he was, she smiled and held up a unique looking pair of scissors. "Would you like to cut the cord?"

This was one of the things he had been dreaming about ever since he first felt little Abby kicking in the womb. He nodded his head and walked closer till he hand the Umbilical cord scissors in his hand and cut where he was told to cut. Separating mother from daughter.

Mark smiled and thanked the doctor before returning to Maureen's side, to look at their child. When he moved closer, Maureen smiled at him before shifting a bit so he could have a better look. "Say hi to daddy, Abby." She grinned.

He didn't know what to say in that moment as he was introduced to his baby. "Hi, Abby." Was the only thing he could say. The smile plastered on his face let anyone there know that he was an excited and proud papa.

Out in the hallway both Roger and Mimi paced the floor just outside the door to the room where Maureen was busy giving birth. Sitting in two chairs by the wall were her mother and father waiting just as nervously as the pair walking in circles. It was hard to sit and wait to receive word on the baby and Maureen.

When they heard a baby's cry come from inside the room, all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door. It was the moment that they all had been waiting for. Roger and Mimi hugged then seperated to look at the door, waiting for it to open but it didn't.

"What's taking so long?" Roger raged while running a hand through his long hair. "I wanna see my niece."

"I don't know." Mimi shrugged. "I'm sure they'll come out any moment."

No sooner did those words leave her lips, did Mark walk out of the door with a smile on his face. "6 pounds, 7 ounces and 18 inches long." He announced to everyone before they all rushed over to him and hugged.

Mimi pulled away and smiled at him. "How's Maureen?"

"She's fine. A bit tired." He shrugged.

"Can we see them?" Roger asked hopefully.

"Yeah, of course."

After Maureen and Abby had been cleaned up, everyone was aloud to come inside and greet the newest member of the bohemian family. When they all walked through the door, they saw a beautiful sight in front of them. Maureen sitting up in her been with a wrapped up baby Abby in her arms. A smile on her face as she talked to her.

Maureen's mother was the first to break from the pack and walked straight over. "She's beautiful, Maureen." Her mother said softly, before holding out her hands some. "May I?"

The look on Maureen's face made Mimi giggle. It was obvious that she didn't want to hand her daughter over but she reluctantly handed her over to her mother. When the pass had been made, everyone walked further into the room and gathered around to look at the baby.

"You better by a shotgun, Mark." Mimi teased, looking over at him and laughing at his confused face before walking over to Maureen and giving her a peck on the cheek. "You did good, momma."

Maureen laughed some, leaning her head back. "Thanks, Meems."

"Especially, if she looks anything like her mother." Roger added, before gently stealing Abby away from her grandmother.

Mark's eyes widened at the thought of Abigail getting older and becoming a teenager and all the boys she would bring home. It was a scary thought and there was no doubt in his mind that his daughter would be as beautiful as her mother. It was going to be more difficult than he imagine.

"Here, let me hold her." Mimi demanded, as she bounced over to her boyfriend who gently passed the newborn over to her. "Ah, she is so adorable."

"Am I too late?" A male voice asked, filling up the room. Causing everyone to turn to the door.

A bright smile spread across her lips as Maureen saw who it was. "Collins!" She squealed as quietly as she could, opening her arms for him to come over to her.

Collins smiled and took quick steps over to his favorite girl and hugged her, then pulled back. "Alright, now where is she?" He asked, stepping back and rubbing his hands together.

"Mimi has her."

"Good luck, getting her from her." Roger grinned.

Collins walked over to Mimi and looked down at Abigail. "Mmm-mm. She's going to be a heart-breaker." he chuckled looking at Mark before turning around and gently pried her away from Mimi. "Yes, you are."

Maureen sat there in bed silently with a smile lingering on her face as she watched her friends and family gaze lovingly over Abby but she had to admit, she really longed for her daughter to be back in her own arms. "Collins." She called lightly, getting his attention. "Why don't you bring her over to me, huh?"

"Having separation anxiety, are we?" He teased her while walking over to her and placing Abby into her arms.

She just glared up at him for a moment before shaking her head lightly and looking to the rest of her friends and family members, giving them each a smile.

"Congratulations, sweetheart." Maureen's mother said softly, leaning in pressing a light kiss to her daughter's head then placing a soft one on top of her granddaughters head. The action was repeated by her father before the two said their good-byes and left.

"Now comes the fun part." Mimi announced, which confused Maureen and Mark. They looked at one another before returning their focus on her again. "Taking care of her."
