My one awesome review made me really happy lol so I couldn't let them down on the birth of Nathan Chandler. The main thing everyone has been waiting for. I won't spoil too much but Tom gets the shocking news of his life today oh well in this chapter sorry.
A/N: I own nothing.
"Ugh.. God this hurts" Rachel said painfully as the contractions were hitting her.
Tom stood in shock not knowing what to do at the moment. He just looked at her frozen in his spot. Rachel noticing his panicked state she grabbed hold of the bar of the bed and swung her right leg off the bed. Realizing what she was doing Tom grabbed hold of her other arm to try to help her. His mind still hasn't registered to what was happening. His body was just moving on its own. Luckily a sailor walked by to notice the pained girl.
"You there go get Quincy!" Mike shouted at the poor boy.
He then looked back at Rachel who was now crunched over holding her big baby bump. Tom was mad at the fact that he couldn't do nothing but be there for her. As much as he didn't want to admit he wished he could take her pain away even if it meant him giving birth instead of her. His face paled at the thought.
"You know Tom you probably look worse then I do right now" she joked.
Tom snapped out of his disturbing thoughts and gave her his stern face.
"Now's no time to be joking Scott" he said seriously.
Rachel rolled her eyes. A few seconds later another contraction hit and that made her groan. Rachel remembered what she read in books and if she remembered correctly it was to breathe. And breathing she did. The more she did what she needed the pain was becoming a little easier to bear. Tom was counting the time in between contractions. For her benefit or his he wasn't even sure. To his surprise in the room came Quincy followed by Mike and a few other sailors.
'That didn't take long' he thought.
"Okay Rachel I'm here. Me and Mike are going to take you to have your baby." Quincy smiled "Little Slattery will be here in no time" he reassured her.
Taking note of Quincy saying Slattery he let his hold on Rachel go. His heart fell to his stomach. He has forgotten that it was not his baby. As Quincy and a few other sailors helped Rachel to her feet to head to her room Tom stood aside to let them through. He watched as she was being taking to the delivery room but was broken out of his though as Mike put a hand on hand on his shoulder. Tom snapped back into his façade and looked at Mike.
"I want you to be in the delivery room" Mike said sternly.
His outburst almost made Tom's jaw drop.
"You don't want to be there to see your own baby?" Tom said furiously.
He grabbed Mike by both his shoulders and shook him a bit. Hopefully to snap him back to reality but in reality Mike didn't want Tom to miss the birth of his own baby. Mike fed up with the Captains actions gripped his arm and practically threw him off of him. Taking a few steps back Tom stared at him with shock.
"You need to be in that delivery room" Mike said pointing towards the door. " Now get your ass moving Tom"
Chandler stood straight up and walked towards the door without once looking at Mike. Once he was out the door Mike found the closet chair and sat putting his elbows on his knees and his hands to support his face.
"What have I got myself into" he asked himself.
Tom made his way to the delivery room as upon walking in to see a gown dressed Rachel Scott and scrubbed up Quincy Tophet. Before he could take a couple of steps into the room a few assistants stopped him.
"We are sorry sir but only family is allowed in here" she said behind her mask.
"Mike told me to stand his place" he said firmly.
"But.." the nurse was interrupted when Quincy came to the door .
"Go put on some scrubs and meet us back here." Tophet said as he made his way back to Dr. Scott .
Tom nodded and went to the other room to change into the blue scrubs and mask with the matching hair net. As soon as he was finished he went back to the delivery room. As he walked in he was expecting the nurses to stop him again but Quincy informed him to come close to Rachel. Before he could do so Quincy stopped him to whisper something in his ear.
"She needs you Tom" with saying that he went back to doing what he was doing.
Tom nodded with understanding and made his way to Rachel. He stood next to her and instantly grabbed her hand. Rachel's sweaty face was then calm as he was there to help her through this. She stared into his blue eyes before tearing up. Maybe for the pain she felt or for the fact he was going to find out she wasn't too sure. Quincy informed her before they got to the room that he would need to induce her considering the fact that she wanted him natural. So as the inducement went on a couple of hours went by. She felt Nathan's head come out. Rachel felt dizzy as the voices were becoming low around her.
"Stay with me Rachel" Quincy shouted holding Nathan's head.
Tom worriedly came close to her ear and said.
"Push for me baby he's almost here" he said naturally.
Rachel snapped back into her consciousness and pushed.
"You got it. Now one more push" Quincy ordered.
Rachel gripped Tom's hand as hard as she could. Tom found the excuse of the baby being born to cry of pain. His thoughts were broken when he heard a cry. He snapped his head back to the baby that Quincy was holding and at that moment time froze again for Tom. He let go of Rachel's hand and stepped back a few steps.
Quincy put the baby on her chest and he began to clean her and Nathan up. Rachel held Nathan close to her as he was gooing to her. She knew at that moment she was in love.
Tom stared at the new baby Rachel was holding. His brown hair and his featured face are what stood out to him. His eyes widened as he came to realize who he was staring at.
'You need to be in the delivery room' Mike's word echoed in his head.
'Nathan.. Nathan Chandler' through Darien words burned through his mind.
Tom grabbed his head and ran out of the delivery room to the deck as where the previously watched the sunrise. He made his way there and gripped the rail and screamed out of frustration.
"So you finally found out huh?" a voice came from behind.
Tom turned around and walked straight to the person. As he came face to face with the smug look Mike was giving him he angered more.
"Why didn't you tell me? How did this happen?" He asked angrily.
Mike's smiled disappeared and his serious face came forward.
"Why don't you tell me? Since I've been doing your job for her whole pregnancy? He shouted.
Tom stood still as his words came to hurt. Not bothering to show the hurt he stood his ground and continued to stare at Mike. But before the situation could further worsen one of the assistant nurses made their way to them both.
"There's a problem we need both of you" she said as she ran back to the room.
Tom and Mike put their differences aside and ran to the room that held Nathan Chandler and Rachel Scott.
Well guys I hope it's good. If not I'll be happy to put up another version of this chapter. (:
