THREE MONTHS LATER

Ray and Salima were watching TV, when Salima suddenly poked him in the ribs. "Ow!" he winced.

"Ray, we have to go!" she announced.

"Why?" he asked.

"I think my waters just broke." she replied, looking pale. Ray looked down. Sure enough, there was a strange liquid on the floor.

"OK, I'll get the bag. Grab your coat!" Ray exclaimed.

"I can't believe that this day's finally arrived!" Salima smiled.

"Yeah." her husband nodded. He quickly sent a text to his friends. It read "Salima's waters have broke! Meet me at the hospital!" Replies immediately followed.

"WOOHOO!" Tyson's text read.

"On my way!" Max's text read.

"Hil + I are getting there as fast as we can!" Kai's text read. Kane, Goki and Jim also texted them, all of them excited about the birth.


At the hospital, the team waited anxiously. They suddenly heard a loud scream, followed by "GIMME SOME PAINKILLERS, DAMMIT!"

"Remind me never to get you mad if you eventually give birth!" Kai blinked.

"Noted!" Hilary nodded.

"One more push-OW!" Ray yelled.

"Sounds like Salima's breaking his hand!" Tyson exclaimed.

"AAAAARGH!" Salima screamed. Suddenly there was a loud cry. Everyone's faces lit up.

Ray came out of the delivery room. "She's here..." he smiled, while nursing his hand. Everyone piled into the room.

Salima, looking exhausted, was holding a small bundle in her arms. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet Rayima Kon." she announced.

"Awwww!" Tyson cooed.

"She's so cute!" Max exclaimed.

"Congratulations, Ray." Kai beamed.

"I want one!" Hilary smiled.


A few weeks later, Ray and Salima brought their daughter home. The two watched her sleep that night. "She looks so sweet when she's asleep." Salima smiled. Ray nodded. With a wife and daughter, his future already looked bright.
