Okay, I am so freaking excited for this chapter!
I hope you guys will love it as much as I loved writing this chapter!!! And please review!
---3:00 AM, Saturday July 10---
Claire locked the door behind her. She looked at Brittany, who was clearly in pain. Jeanette and Eleanor sat by their sister, trying to calm her down by holding her. Claire's heart started to pound as she walked over to them.
"Brittany, stay calm okay?" Claire asked. "I'm gonna call Julie to come over here."
Brittany nodded weakly. Her left hand gripped Eleanor's arm, and her other gripped onto Jeanette's. "Please hurry." She said quietly.
Claire went over to the nearest phone and dialed Julie's number. After several rings, someone picked up.
"Hello?" Julie's voice came from the other end. She sounded tired.
"J-Julie? It's me, Claire." Claire said.
"Oh, hi. But, um, Claire? Not to be rude or anything but, it's 3 in the morning." Julie said. "People like me usually like to sleep this time of day."
"I know, I'm sorry. But you have to come over here, quick. Brittany's about to give birth." Claire said.
"WHAT?" Julie shrieked.
"She's ready. Can you come over? I mean, like, I have no experience in this, unlike you." Claire said. "And she's in pain right now, can you please hurry?"
"Oh, oh my god. I-I'll be there soon." She said, and automatically hung up.
Claire hung up and sat on Brittany's bed, where the girls were all sitting. She looked at Brittany and said, "Brittany, you'll be alright, I promise. Julie will be here soon, and we can finally get that little one out."
Brittany nodded. "Okay." She whispered.
Outside the door with the boys...
Dave, Theodore, Simon and Alvin were all sitting outside the Chipette's bedroom door, all nervous like crazy. Especially Alvin. He was sitting on the ground, with his face buried in his hands.
"Alvin? You okay?" Simon asked.
Alvin looked at him. "Well, Brittany is in there, giving birth, while I'm stuck out here as a nervous wreck. Oh yeah, I'm feeling great." He said, rolling his eyes.
"Alvin, I know you're freaking out right now, but there's no reason to be rude." Dave said.
Alvin sighed. "You're right, I'm sorry. But I'm just so nervous." He said, as he buried his face away in his arms.
Dave sighed and looked at his 'son'. "Alvin, everything will be alright. By the end of this, you'll have a baby girl." He cleared his throat. "So, there's no reason to worry about this."
Alvin nodded. "I'll try."
They all remained silent after that. It was totally dead silent for at least 10 minutes. The only sounds that could be heard were the voices coming from the Chipette's bedroom. Then suddenly, the doorbell rang. It rang again, followed by anxious knocks on the door.
"Who is that?" Asked Theodore.
"I don't know." Said Dave as he got up and walked to the door. Simon and Theodore followed him.
Dave opened the door and was surprised to see who was standing there. "Julie! What are you doing here?" He asked. He moved out of the way to let her in.
Julie took her coat off and threw it on the couch. She was carrying that big bag of doctor stuff again. "Claire called me. She told me that Brittany is ready."
Dave gulped. "Yeah, she is."
They all walked back to the bedrooms. Julie looked at the floor and saw Alvin sitting there. "Alvin, Brittany will be fine. I promise."
Alvin looked at her, but said nothing.
Then Julie looked at Dave and sighed. "Okay, I'm going in."
Julie knocked on the Chipette's bedroom door, and Claire opened it. There was a look of relief on her face once she saw Julie. "Oh my goodness, you're here."
Julie smiled nervously. "I'm here. Now let's help Brittany." She said as she walked inside the girl's room.
Claire shut the door again and locked it. Julie went over to Brittany and looked at her. "Brittany, how are you feeling?"
Brittany groaned. "Feeling great." She mumbled.
Julie automatically went into her doctor-mode. "When did the pain start?"
"Around 20 minutes ago." She said weakly.
"Okay that's good. It's just a sign, Britt. The pain will ease in a few minutes." Julie said as she put the bag on the floor.
"What?" Asked Claire.
"The pain she's feeling now is the baby's way to say that 'I'm ready to come out'. It's just a warning. But it won't happen for another few hours." Said Julie. Then she turned to Brittany. "You'll feel better in a few minutes."
"So all we have to do is wait?" Asked Claire.
Julie nodded. "That's right."
"Wait, we're not going to the hospital?" Asked Jeanette.
Claire shook her head. "We're trying to avoid public as much as possible, until Alvin and Britt are ready to tell the world they have a baby." She said. "There's no other choice then to just deliver the baby here."
Brittany nodded. It was true. Her tummy wasn't really hurting as much as it was a couple of minutes ago. "But how will we know if the baby is really ready?"
"Oh, you'll feel it." Julie said.
"Ugh..." Brittany muttered.
"Britt, it's gonna be fine." Eleanor told her.
"Yeah. We'll be with you, remember?" Jeanette said.
Brittany nodded again. She let go of her sisters arms and placed her hands of her stomach and looked down at it. "Please don't hurt me."
Julie laughed lightly then said, "Don't worry Britt, it will all be worth it at the end."
Brittany nodded.
"Is there anything you'd like us to get? You hungry or anything?" Asked Claire.
Brittany shook her head. "No, but can you bring Alvin here, please?"
"Alvin?" Claire asked and Brittany nodded her head.
"Well, okay." Claire said. She opened the bedroom door and looked at the boys.
"Did she give birth already?" Asked Dave.
Claire rolled her eyes. "It takes longer than 20 minutes, David." Then she looked at Alvin. "Alvin? Brittany wants you."
Alvin raised his eyebrows. "What? Why?"
Claire shrugged. "I dunno. But you better come." She said, and Alvin stood up and walked into the room with Claire.
"Britt?" Alvin asked quietly.
Brittany smiled at him. Julie cleared her throat and said, "Well, uh, we'll give you two privacy. C'mon let's go. And Britt, call us when you feel something wrong with your stomach or something."
Claire, Julie, Eleanor and Jeanette left the room, leaving Alvin and Brittany alone. Alvin hopped onto the bed and sat beside Brittany. "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Better." She said. She looked at him. "I'm so scared."
Alvin held her face. "Just be brave okay? Do it for me, please?" He asked, and Brittany nodded.
"Ugh, I just wish this whole process was all over. I hate feeling pain." Brittany said.
"But it'll be worth it." Alvin put an arm around her. "Just think, in a few hours, we'll have a baby chipmunk in our arms."
Brittany smiled and hugged him. "I can't wait."
Alvin looked at the clock. It read 3:30 AM. "Um, can we try getting some sleep before this all happens?"
Brittany nodded. "Yeah, I'm pretty tried too." She said as she rested her head on his shoulder. In a matter of minutes, Brittany and Alvin both fell asleep.
Outside, Dave, Claire, Theodore, Simon, Eleanor, Jeanette and Julie all fell asleep in the living room. All talking up a chair or a couch.
2 HOURS LATER...(5:30 AM)
Everyone in the house was peacefully asleep. Well, except for Brittany. She woke up just moments ago. She was feeling the pain again. It was time.
Brittany shook Alvin. "Oh god, Alvin?"
Alvin didn't answer. He was still asleep. Brittany shook him again. "Alvin! Wake up!"
Alvin didn't answer again. He stirred around in his sleep.
This time, Brittany hit him. "ALVIN, OH GOD, WAKE UP!"
Alvin was startled by Brittany's outrage. "W-what's wrong?" He asked.
"I-I THINK THE BABY WANTS TO COME OUT." She yelled.
Alvin gulped. "What?"
"THE BABY! IT'S HURTING ME! I THINK IT WANTS TO COME OUT, NOW!" She yelled.
"Wh-WHAT?" Alvin exclaimed.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! GET CLAIRE AND JULIE!" Screamed Brittany.
Alvin frantically jumped off the bed, ran out the door and yelled, "Brittany is giving birth!" Which woke everyone up at the same time. They all ran back to the girl's bedroom. Claire, Julie, Eleanor and Jeanette ran into the room, leaving Dave, Alvin, Theodore and Simon outside.
"Brittany, are you ready?" Asked Julie.
Brittany nodded as her sisters sat beside her. "Oh my god, this HURTS!" She yelled.
Claire bit her lip as she looked at Julie. Brittany started to yell again.
"OH MY GOD, JULIE, JUST GET HER OUT, PLEASE!" Brittany yelled in pain.
"Okay." Julie deeply breathed. "Okay, Britt, take a deep breath, and push..."
1 HOUR LATER...(6:45 AM)
"OH GOD, I'M GONNA KILL ALVIN ONCE I GET MY PAWS ON HIM." Brittany yelled in pain.
"Brittany, you're almost there, sweetie. Keep pushing." Julie said.
Eleanor looked at Jeanette, who was on the other side of Brittany. "Jeanette? I'm feeling really nervous." She said.
Jeanette nodded. "I know how you feel Elle. I'm-"
"AHH! CAN YOU TWO STOP TALKING?" Brittany yelled at them. "OH MY GOD, OOWWWW!"
"Brittany, take a deep breath." Julie said, looking at her. "Then push."
Brittany did just that. She did another push, as she let out another painful and ear piercing scream. She grabbed her sister's arms, and clutched onto them pretty hard.
"Ouch." Jeanette whispered as Brittany's grasp became more tight. "Not so hard Brittany."
Brittany violently glared at her. "NOT SO HARD? WELL, YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO'S IN FREAKIN' PAIN RIGHT NOW!"
Jeanette sighed.
Claire stood at the edge of the bed with Julie. "Julie, when is she coming out?"
"Soon, very soon." Julie answered.
"AHHHHHHH!" Brittany screamed.
After seeing what caused Brittany to scream again, Julie's eyes widened. "Oh my god, Brittany. You're so close. Just one more push. One more." She said.
Brittany breathed hard. All her energy was drained. "I can't!"
"Yes you can! Britt, just try. One more push." Julie said softly.
Brittany took a deep breath and gave it her all. She gave one last loud and painful scream, before all the pain went away. Brittany opened her eyes, and everything was silent. Brittany felt her pulse move faster by the second. Then after a few seconds, the newest sounds were heard.
A small and delicate cry was heard. It sounded like a small squeak, but it was more gentle. Claire and Julie gasped at the same time. Brittany let go of her sisters arms, and Eleanor and Jeanette quickly got up and went over to the newly born baby.
Eleanor felt tears form in her eyes when she saw the baby chipmunk. "Oh my god, Britt. She's so precious."
All the pain Brittany was feeling went away. Brittany felt like she could breathe again. She slowly let her eyes close. She was so tired.
Julie and Claire looked at the baby chipmunk who was on the bed. Claire also felt tears starting to rise up. "She's so beautiful." She said.
Julie had a small blanket-like cloth in her hands. She handed it to Jeanette. "Here, Jeanette. Wrap the baby up in this. Let's take her to the washroom and get her cleaned up."
Jeanette nodded as she took the cloth from Julie. She layed it on the bed and looked at her niece. "Oh wow. She is so tiny." She looked at Eleanor. "Elle? Wanna put her in this?"
Eleanor nodded. She carefully picked the baby up, and placed her on the cloth, letting Jeanette wrap it around her small body. "Wow, she's so soft." Cooed Eleanor.
Jeanette slowly carried the bundle in her arms as Julie carried them into the washroom. "We'll be back soon, Brittany." She said, before walking into the washroom.
Claire smiled. She walked over to the bed and sat beside Brittany. "Britt? You awake?"
Brittany opened her eyes and smiled. "Yeah." She sighed. She was still so exhausted.
"Britt, you should be so proud of yourself." Claire praised her.
Brittany smiled. "I know. I am." She said tiredly.
"I can't believe you and Alvin have a baby girl." Claire said, starting to tear up again.
"Yeah." Brittany whispered, as she looked at her stomach. There was no huge bump on her stomach anymore. Her body was back to normal.
Claire noticed that Brittany was staring at her stomach. "At least you can finally move again, without that baby belly of yours."
Brittany laughed. "I have to admit, I kinda miss it now." She said, referring to her stomach.
Claire giggled. "Well, now you have your baby. That's way better than just a big tummy."
Brittany smiled. But it suddenly disappeared when she realized that something was missing. "W-wait. Where is she?" She panicked.
Claire stoked Brittany's auburn hair. "Julie and your sisters took her into the washroom to get her cleaned up."
"W-what?" Brittany asked. She wanted to see her baby, right now.
"Don't worry Brittany. She's fine. She's healthy, and she's so beautiful." Claire said, smiling at her. "You did it."
