Chapter seventeen – is the baby going to make it?

Kate was now taken back to the recovery room to recover from having the caesarean and she still hadn't met her three children and she still didn't know whether her youngest daughter was going to make it.

Mike had given up over the gender battle they were having during the operation and was too concerned for his fiancé and his daughter she had to make, she just had to.

There was a knock on the door, a nurse walked in holding a pink blanket and was smiling, this must have been the first daughter to have been born, she looked so healthy.

"This is your youngest daughter," the nurse said handing the baby to Kate.

"What she is okay?" Kate asked slightly confused.

"She is absolutely fine, I promise you she just got caught and she couldn't breathe but she is fine, honestly," the nurse replied.

Another nurse came in carrying another baby girl wrapped in a pink blanket.

"This is you middle child, again she is doing amazingly," the male nurse said to both Kate and Mike.

Kate and Mike both looked at each other as a nurse brought the final baby in, a little blue bundle.

"Here is the eldest and the only boy and he is also doing brilliantly," the final nurse said as she handed the baby to Mike.

The same smile spread across both of their faces there life was complete.

The three nurses silently left Kate and Mike alone to have family time together with their three new arrivals.

"I told you there was going to be more girls," Kate laughed.

"Well, don't think I'm going to stay out numbered for long, there will be another boy soon," Mike laughed.

"Oh you really think I'm going through that again? You seriously have another thing coming!" Kate looked at Mike with a smile.

Mike was now sitting on the bed with Kate, Kate was holding the two girls whilst Mike was holding the little boy.

"What do we call them?" Mike asked.

"This little one," indicating the youngest child "is going to be called, Lucy?" she asked.

"I like that name Kate, it reminds me a bit of lucky, and that is certainly what she is." Mike replied.

"Middle name?" asked Kate.

"Erm... What about Ann?" Mike replied.

"Lucy – Ann Flynn, that sounds perfect. My grandmother would be so proud to have her name used in our daughter's middle name," Kate smiled.

"So what about this other one?" looking at the other baby girl asleep in her arms.

"Olivia, I love that name," Mike suggested.

"I like Olivia – Grace Flynn, how does that sound?" replied Kate.

"Perfect!" Mike smiled.

Mike now looked at the bundle of joy in his arms, "Now for this little fella's name."

"Joshua," Kate said. "I always thought that if there was ever an off chance that there was a boy I'd call him Joshua."

"Kate, I love the name, but what about the middle name?" Mike said, "I really like the name Connor,"

"Joshua – Connor Flynn it is then" Kate laughed. "See it wasn't that hard now was it."

Mike laughed.

"I think Nikki would love the fact that we have called the boy Joshua, I think it would mean a lot to her," Kate said.

"Yes I think it would," Mike agreed.

"You know what we really should let them know everything is okay, they are probably worried especially being rushed off in an ambulance," Mike laughed.

Mike went to pick up his phone to ring Nikki when he realised he had already missed three calls off her.

"Nikki has phoned me three times already," Mike laughed "Maybe you should ring them and let them know the good news," Mike suggested.

Mike passed Kate the phone and she redialled Nikki's number.

"Nikki it's me Kate, yeah I'm find we had two girls and a boy...yeah they are adorable... Course you can. Okay then we'll see you in a bit then, bye." Kate put the phone down.

"They are coming in to meet their god children," she said as she turned to Mike.

"Kate you really should be getting some rest, you look shattered," Mike said.

"How can I possibly go to sleep at a moment like this, I've only just met them, I'm not going to sleep yet, I have to show the world them," Mike knew that this would be the response he would get off Kate.

Mike just sat staring into the eyes of his three children. He was the happiest man alive.

All he needed now was for his fiancé to walk down the aisle with him.
