(Dave's point of view)

I had just returned from a case in Iowa. It was a bad one. It involved children. The team had been given five days of ground time. Melissa was three days past her due date. The doctor's planned to induce in three days.

Erin had told Melissa she could stay home. I decided to go by and keep Melissa company after I finished my paper work. When I arrived Melissa was on the phone. She was smiling and chatting happily. I waved and then went and made us lunch.

"Dave." Melissa screamed.

"What's wrong?" I asked running to her.

"My water broke." She said upset.

"Okay I'll call your Mom." I said trying to remain calm.

"I think I better sit." She said.

"Erin it's Dave. Melissa's in labor." I said as soon as Erin answered.

"How far apart are her contractions?" Erin asked.

"I don't know but her water broke." I answered.

"Okay just stay calm and get Melissa to the hospital. I will meet you there." Erin promised.

"Okay bye." I said as I turned back to Melissa.

"Dave it hurts." Melissa cried.

"Okay Sweetie we are going to get you to the hospital." I said.

"Can you get my bag?" She asked.

"Where is it?" I questioned back.

"In the front closet. Please hurry." Melissa answered.

The drive seemed long. Melissa cried and screamed the whole way. I was sure her contractions were less than a minute a part. No Unsub was as scary as this was. I felt relived as we finally made our way to the hospital.

Everything seemed to move quickly after that. They rushed Melissa upstairs to maternity. They asked me to step out. They put a gown on her and an IV in. Erin arrived. Then the doctor came in.

The doctor told us there was no time for an epidural. Melissa was told to start pushing. I had read in the baby book that it could take hours to push. Melissa pushed for 45 minutes. Then they suggest she take a break.

I felt ill. I couldn't stand seeing Melissa in such pain. I knew Erin felt the same way. Erin suggested a take a quick break. I didn't want to leave Melissa or Erin.

Melissa said everyone was probably in the waiting room. The nurse said it would be ten minutes. I decided that maybe I should update everyone. I could also take a breath and be ready.

"Is the baby here yet?" Jack as I saw the team as well as Garrett and Amber.

"Not yet Buddy." I answered.

"How is she?" Penelope asked concerned.

"She's exhausted and in a lot of pain." I answered truthfully.

"Give her our love." JJ said as everyone nodded.

"I better get back in there." I said.

"Okay Melissa this is it." The doctor said as I took Melissa's left hand again.

"Melissa we're going to count to ten then I want you to push as hard as you can." A nurse said.

"Let's do this." Melissa said.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten push." The doctor yelled.

Melissa screamed in terrible pain. The head was now out they announced. Melissa was told to start pushing again. Finally the baby was out. They baby was crying. I couldn't help the tears.

"You did so good Melissa." I said.

"He's right Baby I'm so proud of you." Erin said.

"I'm so tired. Can I hold my daughter?" Melissa asked.

"Doctor can you come here." The nurse said.

"What's wrong?" Melissa asked panicked.

"It'll be okay." I said praying it would be.

"She's fine. Here's your little girl." The doctor said handing Melissa her baby girl.
