Juliet pov
"Juliet please hold still my arms are getting sore" Gnomeo kept holding my arms while I laughed.
"I'm trying I can't hahaha!" I laughed and kicked around, I was making the doctors job a bit hard.
"Mr. Bluebury can you please hold your wife steady, this is a delicate procedure"
"Hey you have the easy job here doc I've been trying to keep her still since she sat down...Juliet c'mon already" Gnomeo cries getting a little annoyed.
"What hahaha I can't hear you hahahaha!" I was getting hysterical with laughter.
"Mrs. Bluebury please try and contain yourself"
"Haha I can't help it! hahaha It tickles and it's cold, Ahahaha!"
I was in the doctor office early one morning with Gnomeo. I was getting a special treatment for a special someone very close to me.
"How much longer, I can't keep laughing much longer hahahahaha!" I cry hysterically.
"It's almost done...how's she looking doctor?" Gnomeo asked while I keep laughing and twitching.
"She and the baby are looking perfect!" doctor says with smile.
We smile at each other then kiss. I was 9 months and happy to be adding my tenth and hopefully last child into the world.
"Yes jules you and your baby are peachy, you'll be ready to deliver very soon"
"Oh that's wonderful!" I smile and rub my tummy.
"Would u like to know what you're having?"
"Yes!" Gnomeo buts in before I cut in.
"No we don't! Gnomeo I told you we're waiting until it's born, I want it to be a surprise" I smile.
"I don't wanna be surprised!"
"Well I do, Besides I'm the one carrying it, so what I say goes" I look seriously at him and he nods in understanding.
We leave the Hospital and drive back home, it was very early still but that doesn't mean the kids weren't awake all of them were.
"Morning mum and Dad!" Kelly shreiked running towards us.
Gnomeo picked her up and swung her all around "Your up early princess"
"I woke up so I could have more time to play!" She squealed
We all laughed "Well while your playing remember you and your siblings need to get packing for your school trip"
"Yes Mummy!" She smiled skipping away
"I'm going to go check on the rest of them" Gnomeo whispers walking away.
I walk into the shed and look into the crib of my precious baby girl just waking up and stretching out to me.
"Hey Autumn how's my baby girl this morning?!"
"I good mummy!" She cooed she was 2 and already learning to speak and walk all on her own, she was the spitting image of me in every way, literally the only thing different was her purple color.
I set her on the floor as she carries on those wobbly legs of hers making me laugh. I walk down the hall to the next room it was toddler sized with purple lining on the walls and carpets and all of Autumns toys and a mini sized bed.
"Oooohh!"
"What do you think of your new room sweetheart?"
"Why do I need a new room mummy?"
"Because you're old nursery is going to the new baby and you're a big girl now so you need a big girl room and bed"
"But I like my crib" She fusses
"You'll like your new bed even better!" I pick her up and toss her on her new bed as she jumps up and down.
"Weeeeee look at me Mummy!" She smiles jumping high over me.
"Looking good" I give her a thumbs up.
"Now watch this!" She jumps extra hard way up high and flips right off the bed to the floor
"AUTUMN!"
"Aaaahhh!" She sits on her knees crying and holding her arm.
"What happened?"
She holds up her arm seeing red scratch marks on it "It hurts mummy!" She grabs my arms fussing.
I pick her up and brush her brown locks "There There my Autumn it's okay!" I walk to the bathroom for a cold wet towel and rub it on her arm.
"It's cold!" She shivers
"But look, no more ouchie" I say kissing her "But now we know not to jump off beds right?"
"Yes mummy!" She nods.
"And you know what else?"
"What?"
"I have a surprise for you"
"SURPRISE!?" She jumps in excitment
"Yes it's behind me back" I pull my hands behind me to make it look like something was there.
"Let me see!"
"You really want to see it!"
"Yes!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Really Really sure"
"Mummy!"
"Ok here it is..." I pull up both my arms "It's the, Tickle monster!" I grab her and tickle her all over. She started to laugh and scream all over the place.
"Stop mummy!" She laughs.
"Sorry the tickle monster has mummy now"
"No you don't cause it's my turn now!" She starts to tickle me now as I laugh and tickle her back.
When we were both tickled out she crawls in my laps as I cuddle her like if she was still a tiny newborn. "I love you Autumn!"
"I love you too mummy...and you too Baby!" She speaks to my tummy as I hug her.
I felt a sudden grumbling noise and a large growl followed making me cautious. "What was that?" I asked looking around.
I hear the noise again and look down at Autumn who was smiling and laughing at me. "Autumn?" I eye her with a smirk.
"Mummy I think I need to go to the bathroom" She says fidgeting.
"I would say so C'mon" I walk her to the bathroom and wait for her to come back out, she skips beside me humming.
"All better?"
She nods "Yes but now I'm getting hungry!" She giggles with that cute voice of hers and rubs her tummy.
I let out a snicker "So am I! Wanna help mummy cook breakfast?"
"Yeah!"
"That's why you're my favorite!" I pick her up in my arms as we walk to the kitchen. I set her in her highchair and go for breakfast but we were out of pancake mix and eggs.
"Oops looks like we need to make a trip for ingredients" I tell her
"What if Daddy sees us"
"Don't worry we'll be sneaky little ninjas!" I wink as she cheers.
The morning sun made my peach face even more peachy with it's golden glow "Good morning Mr. Sunshine" Autumns yells as I laugh at her silliness.
We walk past the garden and pond to the gate "And just where are you two going?'" I hear a voice I loved to hear. I look behind me to see a pair of sweet blue eyes
"Daddy!" Autumn smiles reaching out for him.
Gnomeo comes over and picks her in his arms giving us both a kiss "How's my favorite girl?" he flirts with me.
"I'm happy to see you Daddy" Autumn smiles
"I was talking to mummy, but I love seeing you even more" he tickles her chin.
"We were just heading over to get breakfast"
"I'll go with you!" He smiled
"I don't need you to babysit me" I say to his face
"Well I think you do and I will gladly be there for you" He pulls me in his arms and kisses me
"Gross cooties" Autumn closes her eyes as we laugh
We walked across to the main garden where everyone was already up and busy. Autumn was prancing all around being so happy and full of life, like she always was.
"Mummy Daddy look what I can do!" She cried in her baby voice. She got on the grass and did a cartwheel all over the place, accidentally bumping someone.
"Hey watch it!" Tybalt snapped looking down
"Oops sorry"
Tybalt looked down and sighed "Oh it's just you squirt"
"I'm no squirt!"
"Yes you are squirt"
"Don't call me that!" She huffs crossing her arms.
"Hi Tybalt!" I smiled walking over picking up Autumn in my arms
"Can't you keep a better eye on your kids"
"No can't you!" I joke snickering
"Hi table" She called him
Tyblat just glared "Can't you say Tybalt yet!"
"Ty-able!" She said again making us laugh
"Uh kids!" Tybalt walked off
"She's just a baby Table!" Gnomeo called back to him laughing.
"He's grumpy!" Autumn says in her baby voice crossing her arms
"Yes he is but he still lives here!" I say with a snicker.
"Love I'm gonna go do some work!" Gnomeo kisses me "You be good!" He tells Autumn with a kiss too and walks off
"And I'm gonna go sit in the sun with my girl!" I say going to sit back at my old pedestale with Autumn in my arms.
"Mummy can I ask you something?" She cooes and I look at her with a smile
"Why are my and my siblings the only purple gnomes here?"
"Well..when you mix red and blue you get Purple" I giggle "But all you kids are purple for a very special reason"
"What?"
"Because you kids are very unique to your father and me and to the whole garden!" I say with a kiss.
"So like magic!"
"You could think of it like that but it's something a bit more than magic...Love so to speak"
"You mean like how you and Daddy love each other"
"Yes and we love you and your siblings even more!" I say kissing her lips as she giggles and hugs me tightly.
Later that day, when we got back home the kids were all getting ready for their overnight school trip and we were helping "Kids make sure you have all your things with you!"
"Yes dad!"
"Make sure you all have your phones with you!"
"We do!"
"Jr. keep an eye on your siblings and don't let anything happen to them"
"I won't!"
"And..."
I jump in and stop him "Gnomeo I think they got the point!"
"Hey where's my lucky baseball cap!" Jake said running down the stairs "I can't leave without my lucky cap!"
"It's in the washer along with you pajama's" I say.
"Mummy, Daddy!" We hear the cute sounds of our baby girl as Gnomeo picks her up in his arms.
"Hello princess!"
She gives a frown "Don't call me that!" she snapped.
"Whoa! she is you mum!" Jr. said and then walking away laughing.
"Did you want something darling?"
"Why can't I go with everyone else?" She pouts
"Honey you don't go to school yet and you're just a baby!"
"I thought I was a big girl?"
"No you are...but you're still too young to do big girl things like the others"
"But one day you can go with all your brothers and sisters when you grow up!"
"When I grow up I wanna be just like you Mummy!"
"You kinda are like me already" I kiss her
"But I want to be a mummy too!"
"Oh being a mummy isn't all that easy, it's a lot of hard work!" I tell her
"But you make it look easy and fun!"
I laugh at her cuteness "It is sometimes fun but also very hard"
"Especially when you have more kids than you bargained for" Gnomeo chimes in laughing as I thump his head glaring.
"Mummy Daddy where do babies come from?"
Well that stopped everything as we just looked at each other "Uh... That's a little hard to explain!" Gnomeo said nervously.
"You want me to explain!" Violet comes from nowhere "Cause I'll do it...Okay Autumn listen when 2 grown ups love each other very much!"
I pull her away "He he Violet don't you have packing to do, get to it!" I say seriously as she wanders away.
"You don't want me to finish the story?" She smirks
"I do!" Autumn raised her hands
"No you don't...now go away Violet!" I shove her as she laughs and walks off.
I look back to my girl with a smile on her sweet face "And sweetie about that question...we'll answer it when you're older"
"How much older?"
"You know Like...19 yrs old" Gnomeo says
"Oh please!" Vanessa cuts in from nowhere "By the time she's 19 she'll probably have experienced it!"
"Vanessa!" We both shout at her, her personality has definetly shifted a bit.
"What I'm just saying"
"Well now I'm just saying this...Go pack your things!"
"But..."
"Now!" He said seriosuly.
She rolled her eyes "You see how they're treating us Autumn that's how they're gonna treat you in a few years...so my sisterly advice for you would be to enjoy the nice parents while you can, cause then they just become overprotective pushy bossy very annoying parents with a tendency too...
"Okay Vanessa we've all heard enough of your opinion!"
"Like I said Autumn enjoy it while you can!" She says walks away
I rolled my eyes "Violet has gotten to her!"
"Okay sweetie now we have something very important to tell you" Gnomeo and I set down with her on the couch
"Sweetie you know mummy's going to be having a baby very soon"
"Yes mummy I know!" She smiled making me smile too.
"And when the baby does come Daddy and I are gonna be spending a lot of time with him/her"
"That's right!" Gnomeo takes over "Mummy and I will have to take a lot of time caring for our baby, feeding it, cleaning it, paying lots of attention to it"
"But that doesn't mean we won't have time for you or love you any less"
"It won't?" she asks and we shake our heads
"Nope! it only means they're gonna be just another mouth to feed in this family!" That's when Tyler popped in from nowhere.
"Why are you here?" I asked annoyed
Tyler shrugged "It's a free world" he says smugly.
"Well you wanna not be here!" Gnomeo asks as he just walks away. "And I hope you kids have all your things packed!" He adds.
"We're getting there!" Jake called.
"So anyway Autumn like we were saying we will always love you and cherish you like our precious little angel that you are" I smiled kissing her cheeks
"I love you so much my little Autumn"
"I love you too mummy"
"What about me?" Gnomeo says pouting.
Juliet rolls her eyes "I love you too Daddy!" She goes to his arms now hugging him.
...
EVENING TIME...
Gnomeo and I were resting in the grass looking out into the sunset, the kids had all left and it was just me and him alone for the first time in years.
"Ah this is nice!"
"Yeah just you and me all alone!"
"It's been a while since we've spent a whole night alone together!"
"It'll be an even longer time once the baby comes!" I rub on my tummy "Which shall be our last baby" I say seriously looking at him.
"Oh sure look at me not like you had anything to do with all our kids" Gnomeo rolls his eyes.
"You still have to name it thought"
"You still have to tell me what it is we're having thought" He mocks me.
"Not telling"
"Then no name!"
"Lisa!" We got confused where that sound came from we look up and see our little Autumn walking up.
"What was that honey?"
"I want the baby to be named Lisa!" She smiles running into Gnomeo's arms.
"That's a cute girl name, what made you think of that" He asks
"It just came to me!" She says as we laugh.
"Well it's getting late how's about we all cook dinner together" I take one of my girls hands as she starts to race inside the shed. After dinner we put Autumn to bed and got close on the couch and watched a few movies, some made me laugh and some made me scared and Gnomeo was just watching to watch.
"Okay that's enough T.v for me I'm going to bed!" Gnomeo gets ups
"Me too!" He says following me upstairs. We crept into Autumns room she was sleeping soundly like the little angel she was.
"Such a little angel"
"Kinda like you!" Gnomeo flirts pulling me into his arms and kissing my neck.
I push him back and look at him "I'm going to sleep" I say walking the other way into bed, I felt a slight kick from the baby and it made me smile.
"Goodnight baby!" I whisper
"Goodnight" Gnomeo says joining me in bed. I roll my eyes and turn off the lights.
...
I kept tossing and turning around in bed, I was sweaty and uncomfortable and having painful feelings. My eyes pop open when I notice I was wet and then this terrible pain.
"Oh god!" I jump from bed and race into the bathroom, I felt my water break and a terrible scream.
"AAAAAAHHHH!"
"Juliet!" I hear my love call me but I was in too much pain to answer. I hear him barge into the bathroom as I was doubled over in pain.
"Juliet what's wrong!"
"It's time the baby's coming!" I say breathing hard
"Now?"
"AAAAHHH, Yes now!" I scream gripping the end of the sink
"We need to get to the hospital!" Gnomeo picks me up and puts on my jacket and his and carries me out to the lawnmower car, he starts it up.
"Wait! Are we forgetting something?" I ask him.
"No time to worry about it now we need to go" Gnomeo says freaking out
"But I just know we're leaving something, something important" I get the feeling we were missing something.
"Autumn!" We shout.
Gnomeo races back inside to Autumns nursery and picks her up as she awakens "Mummy,Daddy!" She cooed rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Sweetie we need to get mummy to the hospital!" he says placing her in my arms as he starts the mower up.
I begin breathing hard and sweating excessively. "Oh please hurry, I can't hold much longer!"
"We're almost there!" Gnomeo says still driving like a NASCAR racer.
We took the highway on route 66 (A/N: Cars reference ;)) I could see the dark sky becoming blue as the sun crept over the horizon. "We'll be there soon love, just hang in there?"
"Mummy are you ok?"
"Mummy's fine darling, you're going to have a new baby brother/sister soon" I smile kissing her forehead.
The mower started to bump up and down and giggle making me sick "Easy Gnomeo I'm holding precious cargo here!" I say.
"It's not me this road is bumpy!" he says driving over humps and cracks.
The mower began making this terrible engine noise with a lot of hissing and rumbling. It seemed we were moving slower and slower until we just stopped and it wouldn't start again.
"C'mon!" Gnomeo pulled the cords but the mower wouldn't budge.
"Why'd we stop?" I ask still breathing hard.
Gnomeo looked down and saw the gas tank was flashing "We ran out of gas!"
"WHAT!?" I snapped
"Jr. didn't fill up the gas after that race last week, I told him to fill it up afterwards"
"Well fix it!" I snap
"I can't fix it if it's just out of gas!"
"Well what are we gonna do?"
"We passed a gas station a while back I'll take Autumn with me and go get gas and come back" He says walking away
I grab his arm "And leave me here alone while I'm in labor, what are you thinking?"
"It won't take long"
"But I need you here"
"Well we can't just sit here like this!"
I stop to think for a second "Our parents!"
"What about them?"
"Call them and see if they can come give us a ride"
"I can't"
"Why not!"
"I forgot my phone at home!" He says nervously.
I glare at him and reach in my backpack for my phone "I hope they answer!" I dial my Dad but he didn't pick up, Gnomeo tried his mum but no luck there either.
"How did neither of them pick up?" I snap
"Call Tybalt he's got the red mower"
"It broke down and he never fixed it, lazy couch potato!" I hissed
"How about Jazmin and Benny?" I asked
Gnomeo shakes his head no "They went out of town for the weekend"
"Unbelievable!" I snapped.
"This just isn't happening right now!" Gnomeo says rambling on "But it's alright we just need to calm down and think of something"
"Uh Gnomeo getting back to me!" I say.
"What!"
"AAAAAAAHHH, That's what!" I say clenching myself once more.
Gnomeo pulls me out of the seat and Autumn as well as we walk away onto the highway curb where the grass was. I sit in the grass and breath "Now what?"
"Alright you and Autumn stay here I'm going to go see what I can do" He says walking away. "Autumn darling take care of mummy like a big girl!"
"Yes Daddy!" She coos.
I just sat there panicking and breathing like a mad gnome. "Ok Juliet, relax, you've delivered nine other children, this is going to be a walk in the park, AAAAHH!" I held myself.
"Mummy!" Autumn rested on my legs feeling concerned for me , but with a smile on her pretty face.
"Oh sweetheart everything's just fine!"
"I love you mummy!"
"I love you more my little season" I called her a season b/c of her name. I held her in my arms and despite the pain I rocked her slowly in my arms to a soothing tune.
Sleepsong
With Saoirse
Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
[Chorus:]
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
I kissed her forehead as she nearly fell asleep in my arms "Autumn go find daddy and rest, sleep tight" I send her off as she walks towards the mower.
Another feeling of pain came into me "Well here we go with this again" I screamed breathing another contraction, it was happening soon.
I felt a bright light shine in my face I thought it was the sun but really it was another car passing on the highway, maybe they could help.
"HEY! STOP, PLEASE STOP, WE NEED HELP!" I called out but it drove right past us I hit my fist on the wet grass huffing.
This was just perfect, I was in labor, it was freezing outside at this time, I was stuck on the highway and no one knew where we were. "This can't possibly get any worse" and it did.
"AAAAAAAHHHH! OH GOD THIS IS IT, IT'S COMING!" This baby was on it's way now. I'd say this was a happy moment for me but there was nothing happy about it.
I heard footsteps as Gnomeo walked back over to me, covered in a bit of oil "Ok well Autumns in her car seat resting but the lawnmower's not going anywhere" He huffs.
I looked up at him with a small glance "Gnomeo this baby is coming now, you have to do something, AAAHH!"
Gnomeo sat in the grass and pulled me closer to him and began to comfort me "There, There my love you're doing just fine. Just keep breathing and such, it'll be over soon"
"Uh Gnomeo, while you're soothing words are very comforting, I don't suppose you'd mind actually trying to GET THIS BABY OUT OF ME!"
"I would but I wouldn't even know where to begin!"
"Maybe you could just see if it's coming!" I ask with pleading eyes.
"I could try!" He crawls down to0 my legs and raises up my dress, he looks down there and "OH GOD!" That's when I saw him pass out in fear.
I rolled my eyes "Perfect!" I huffed deeply.
I could see daylight coming through in the East it began to warm up my face and the air around me but I was still all alone on the highway giving birth.
"Gnomeo wake up!" I kick his legs until he reacts
"What happened?" he asks
"You fainted!"
"I did!"
"Yeah pretty much, Aaaaahhh!" I breath in, hold and take a breath out.
Gnomeo sighs and holds my arms "I'm sorry jules, this is all my fault"
"No it's not, it could've happened to anyone. Let's look on the bright side, we're having our child, that's the good thing" I take his hand in my grasping it hard.
He smiles "I love you"
"I love you more"
"I love you most" He pulls me for a kiss and a warm hug.
I felt a sudden move in me, the baby was almost out "I still prefer we were in a hospital with a doctor or something"
"If only"
"Uh excuse me there!" A voice catches my ears
"Did you here that?" I ask Gnomeo as he nods looking around " Who was that?"
"Excuse me!" I turn and see a Gnome in a light blue hat running over to us "I'm sorry I don't mean to bother you but I just saw you all on the middle of the highway and do you need help?"
Gnomeo stands up "Yes we kinda do!"
"What do you mean Kinda!" Juliet snaps
"Okay yes we need help badly!"
"What's the trouble?"
"We need to get to the hospital my wife's in labor and our car broke down!"
"Well Lucky for you I happen to be a doctor!"
"Great so you can take us to the hospital!"
"Uhh... my cars a little small for all of us but here you call an ambulance and I'll tend to your wife!" He says handing me his phone and then going over beside her on the ground.
I walked back to my car with Autumn still strapped in her seat "Daddy is everything okay"
"Everything will be just fine sweetheart...I hope!"
A while later...
It was nearing daybreak and I was still out here with Juliet and the doctor tending to her, Autumn was still inside the car sleeping now and here I was freaking out. I see Juliet still on the floor screaming so I walk over
"So doc anything?"
"She's getting very close birth is imminent at this point!"
"Oh god this child's gonna be born in the freaking highway, AAAAHHH!" Juliet screamed
"It's okay love you'll be just fine!"
"SHUT UP AHHHH! THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU AAAHHH YOU AN YOU'RE STUPID RACES AAAAAAAHHH!"
The doctor looks up at me "That's just the pain talking and a bit of hormonal imbalance" he whispers
That's when I suddenly start to hear the sounds of sirens and flashing strobe lights coming down the road as cars pull over for it "THE AMBULANCE!"
"Oh Finally!" Juliet says as relieved as I am.
I get on the side of the road and flag them down as they pull over, quickly they rush over to the doctor and my Juliet "She needs to get to the hospital now she's almost about to deliver!" I hear them say
They put her on the gurney and inside the back of the truck. I was about to got too until I saw flashing yellow lights pull up to me "Tony's Tower you need help!"
"Oh right we need a tow right here...but follow that ambulance to the hospital first!" I order
"You got it!"
I race to the car and pull out Autumn from her car seat "Daddy!" She cooes waking up
"It's okay sweetie we're just getting mummy to the hospital!" I load onto the back of the ambulance with the doctor going back to his own car
"Oh doc thanks so much for everything"
"My pleasure it's what I do" He shakes my hand and then pulls something from his pocket "You wanna treat little girl?" He holds out a lollipop for Autumn.
"Thank you!" She smiled
"Thanks for everything" I call as I jumped into the Ambulance with Juliet "See love, you're going to be alright!" Gnomeo says smiling at me.
later that morning...
The ambulance pulled up to the Hospital as they wheeled Juliet inside and I was racing right by there side.
"We need a doctor this young women is in labor" the paramedics explain as doctors rush all over her.
Juliet pov
"Gnomeo I'm scared!" I cried to him as I was being wheeled inside
"No worries my love they're gonna take good care of you" He brushed my head as I lied down.
They pushed me into a nearby room and set me in bed and hooked me up. They cleared the room as I changed into a bed robe and smock and begin my dialysis.
Gnomeo walks in with Autumn as I smile "Mummy!" Autumn reaches out to be as I hold her tiny hand.
Gnomeo leans in for a kiss "They said to just wait out the contractions and then they'll be ready to deliver" He says
"Great I can't wait to get this out of me!" I say sweating and wheezing "Sorry you have to see me this way I must be a mess"
He smiles "That's just a mothers glow you've never looked more beautiful"
"But your hair could use a brush" Autumn says as we both laugh, mine was short lived as I felt a long hard contraction.
"OH HERE IT IS!" I grip the edge of the bed and pushed it out as hard as I can, I fall back into my pillow as Gnomeo dabs a cold towel over me.
"That was a big one!" he snickers
"It was my finally one!" I say relieved.
The door opens and the doctor comes inside with charts "Juliet Bluebury?"
"Right here"
"I'm Thorson I'll be your doctor" He says with a smile.
I smile back to "It's good to see you again Dr...wait Thorson, what happened to Dr. Smith?"
"What about Dr. Smith?" Gnomeo asked
"I'm sorry he's absent today so I'm his replacement" Dr. Thorson says
"Uh-oh!" I freak out
"What?" Gnomeo asks
"We've got a huge problem" I tell him
"Which is?"
"Gnomeo I can't deliver this baby without Dr. Smith"
"Why not?"
"I just need him here for this"
"Isn't one Doctor as good as any other"
"Not to me Dr. Smith and I have been assigned one another since I was a baby, he delivered me when I was born and he's a good friend of mine"
"Juliet I really don't think it matters what Doctor you have"
"It does to me!"
"With all do respect Mrs. Bluebury I am highly trained in baby Delivery"
"Oh it's nothing personal Dr. Thorson, it's just I much rather prefer my regular doctor is all"
"Juliet this is really not the time for you to be picky"
"I'll be picky if I want to be" I snap at him
Dr. Thorson to the O.R please
"Pardon me you two I'll be right back"
"Take your time Doctor" I smile and wave.
"Juliet just let the doctor do his job what's the worst that could happen"
"I'm not worried is it so wrong to be wanting to be under the guard of a trusted hand?" I say
"It is when you're in labor" He mutters.
I roll my eyes "Ok Gnomeo just get out of the room for a while, I need to rest before I do this" I ask softly.
He nods "Come here Autumn let's leave mummy alone!" Gnomeo picks her up and walks out "I'll be out here if you need me" he says and walks out.
Gnomeo pov
I walk out of the delivery room and step into the hall with Autumn, all the doctors were busy running around, Just another average day in the hospital. I started to get pretty hungry and it was about Breakfast time anyways
"Autumn what do you say we find the Café and get some Breakfast?" I ask but she didn't answer "Autumn did you here me-" I look down and she was gone.
"Autumn? Autumn!?" I call her "Uh-oh, has anyone seen my daughter?" I panic running all over the delivery room floor looking for her calling her name. Juliet was gonna kill me if she finds out I lost her.
"Excuse me!" I go to the lady at the front desk
"Yes how may I help you sir?"
"Uh By any chance did you see a small purple hatted toddler waddle through here? she kind of slipped away from me" I say rather embarrassed.
"Uhm is that her?" She points behind me and I see Autumn with her back turned on me looking through glass.
"Yes thank you, Autumn!" I say walking to her.
"Hi Daddy!" She smiles all innocent
"Young lady why did you walk off like that? you can't walk away from me especially not in a big place like this!" I say sternly
"I'm sorry Daddy!" She frowns.
I pick her up and hug her "Don't do it again" I say kissing her cheek.
"Sorry daddy but I was just looking at the babies" She points to all the newborn babies sleeping on the other side of the glass, all of different colors and sizes.
"They're all so cute" She giggles
"That one reminds me of you when you were a baby" I point to the one with the purple had and blonde hair like her.
"I was really that small?"
"Mmm-Hmm and so were your brothers and sisters"
"Will the new baby be that small"
"Yes and just as cute too" I pinch her cheeks.
"Will I love my new brother or sister?"
"Yes darling but you need to be a good big sister to him/her too"
"I will I promise" She says giving me a hug.
After a second I felt my stomach growl "Daddy?" Autumn says laughing
"Time for breakfast!" I say "Let's go find the café"
"I can smell something good from here" She says
I look at her "Oh you smell some thing good huh?" I smirk
"Yes"
"I bet you can't smell without a nose" I pull on her nose and pretend to hold it "Got your nose"
She gasps and covers her face "Give it back Daddy" She crawls on me trying to get it.
"You want it you have to catch me" I race the halls and she races after me laughing and smiling.
...
Down in the Café I was sitting around sipping Coffee and reading a magazine while Autumn ate and colored in the little coloring books.
"I wonder if Mummy is in labor yet!" I look at Autumn who smiles "Maybe we go check" I pick her up and walk down the halls.
As we turn the corner, take the elevator and up in the same room we see Juliet and her doctor "Dr. Thorson!" I call walking up to him.
"Yes"
"I was just wondering about my wife, Juliet's condition?"
"Yes she'll be going into labor very soon there was a minor stall but she's fine"
"Good!"
"I'm just looking over her charts right now and..." He paused for a second "Oh dear
"Is something wrong?"
"I appear to be missing some of Juliet's papers" He says flipping the stack in his hands.
"Is that bad?" I get worried
"Not entirely but it might be much longer to wait before she can induce labor"
"WHAT?" Juliet screams overhearing our conversation.
"I need all the proper filings filled out before anything can begin your laboring process"
"I've been coming to this hospital for 17 years with all my kids and myself too" She panics.
"Yes but not all your files are in proper place"
"But Dr. Smith usually has them all"
"He's not here so he must have all your files"
"Possibly" Juliet says breathing hard.
"Uh can't someone just call Dr. Smith and have him clear all this out"
"Unless you can somehow bring him here there's not much I can do"
"BUT YOU'RE THE DOCTOR!" Juliet screams and then feels another wave of pain "And I need this child out of me now!"
Dr. Thorson to the front desk please
"If you two will excuse me!" He says walking out. Me and Jules got very concerned.
"Gnomeo what are we going to do?"
I walk over and take her hands "Don't worry dear I'll make this right" I take Autumn and walk out the room again and out the hospital
"Daddy where are we going?"
"To make a house call" I say, now that the mechanic had fixed our mower on the way here we were on our way.
In no time we arrived at this other Hospital on the other side of town, where Dr. Smith was serving for today. We walked inside and looked around scooping the halls.
"It smells like floor wax in here" Autumn says.
I walk to the front desk "May I help you?"
"Yes I need Dr. Randal Smith, he's filling in a position here"
"Ah yes well go to the first door on the right he'll be with you shortly" She smiles "You want a little treat sweetie" She hands Autumn a sucker
"Thank you"
I go into the patients room and wait as nurses pop in and out until the Doctor finally comes. "Hello I'm Randal Smith good sir"
"Dr. Smith I'm not here for an appointment"
"Oh"
"I'm Gnomeo Bluebury you Doctor my wife at the other Hospital where you work" I explain "And you know my wife perhaps, Juliet"
"Juliet Redbrick, yes lovely child and so was her mother. I remember the day I first delivered her, one of the sweetest babies I'd ever seen" he smiled.
"Yes well turns out she's going into labor and well she really needs you there with the delivery"
"Oh dear boy I'm afraid I'm far too busy here. Perhaps my replacement could help instead"
"Yes see he doesn't have all of Juliet's facts and she's really deep in labor so, we kind of need you"
"I see but I just can't drop my time here I'm needed by other patients"
"Are any other one's pregnant?"
"No but that's beside the point" He says trying to walk away
"But Doc..."
"Look Gnomeo I'm sorry but I'm busy, I'll facts Juliet's files over there but I just can't leave" He says with sorrow and I frown "But don't worry as many times as she's been there to deliver kids I won't be surprised to be back there delivering her kids again" He laughs and I find myself laughing too but not that long.
"C'mon Autumn lets get back to Mummy" I sigh taking her hands.
"No!" She says giving me a shock "We can't go yet" She walks past me out the door and runs towards Dr. Smith at the front desk.
"Excuse me!" She pulls on his coat
"Oh hello there little one where'd you come from?
"I'm Autumn you helped my Mummy deliver me when I was smaller" she smiles
I finally catch up to her "Autumn what I tell you about running away from me!" I say
"This one's yours Gnomeo?"
"The one of many" I laugh and he does too.
"Dr. Smith sir, my Mummy really really needs your help. She's having a baby and needs you there"
"Oh dear as I said before I'm too busy"
"But Mummy says you helped deliver her when she was little and you helped deliver me and my Siblings too. Mummy said you was like the big brother she never had and you two had a very special friend bond. I might be little but I think my mummy would be very happy if you helped her with my new little brother or sister and I would too!" She gave that innocent smile again.
Dr. Smith smiled "Your very smart for a tiny one" He pats her head. "And Juliet is one of my better patients, so..." he pauses for a second and grins
"Millie postpone my duties and hand them to the next guy" He tells his nurse.
He walks to me and takes my shoulders "Well what are we waiting for Boy, Take me to the Hospital I've got a baby to deliver" He says proudly.
"Yes Dr." I say as we race to the mower and back to the hospital as fast as we can.
We race up to Juliet's room as we see her and Dr. Thorson "Just in time Juliet's just about to go in labor" I see all the sweat and blush on Juliet's face as she begins to push.
I walk to her grabbing her hand and wiping her face with a cold towel "How you feeling baby"
"In pain, but I'm so glad your here" She smiles as I try to kiss her but not the time now.
"Me too!" I flirt with her.
"I'll take over your from here doctor!" Dr. Smith says
"You sure" Dr. Thorson says
"I know this young lady all too well and she's in need of a familiar hand. Dr. Thorson take five I can handle her" Dr. Smith says proudly.
"Yes Doctor" Dr. Thorson says and walks out and Smith goes to my Juliet.
"Nice to see you again Juliet" He rubs her brown hair.
"You too Dr. Smith" He says
"Ready to deliver?"
"As ready as I'll ever be!" She smiles
Dr. Smith turns back to me "You two wait outside I'll take care of her"
I nod and look at Juliet once more "We'll see you after it's done Juliet" I blow her a kiss and she blows back
"I love you mummy"
"Me too my little Season" She waves. Dr. smith pulls back the curtains as we walk out.
"All we do now is wait Autumn and hope for the best"
(Hours later...)

I was sitting outside the emergency room with Autumn playing with the little toys she had found lying around. Juliet had been in the delivery room for quite some time now but I wasn't all that worried.
"Is the baby here yet?" Autumns
"Not yet"
"When is it coming?"
"Should be any second now!" I say not feeling so worried but I was concerned.
As I wait I hear the door burst open and Jr. Vanessa, Tyler, Violet, Kelly and the twins walk inside. "DAD!" They shout running to me.
I stand up and walk over hugging them "Glad to see you kids are back home"
"I wish we could've said the same for you" Jr. says
"Yeah we all came home and you and mum and Autumn weren't there" Tyler said
"We had to rush Juliet to the hospital"
"Why?" Jake asked
"Emergency" I smirked.
The other door opened behind me as Dr. Smith came out looking the same look he hand on when all my other kids were born "Mr. Bluebury" He gestured me.
I nod and look back to the others "Kids there's someone you all need to see" I walk inside with the kids and see Juliet in her bed holding a small blanket
"Mum!" The kids all shout.
"Sssshhh!" She shushed them all "Quiet, don't wake him up!" she cooed rocking her arms slowly.
"I'll leave you all alone" Dr. Smith says getting up "Congrats" He tells before leaving us alone.
I walk over to the bed and hug Juliet tightly "You look adorable" I whisper as she nods, then she holds up the blanket for me to see the baby. First of all it was a boy with a nice shaded purple hat, I could see blonde locks from below his hat and he had my face and Juliet's nose.
"Isn't he so handsome!" Juliet sighed crying like she did with all our kids.
"Yes he is!" I smiled "I'm so proud of you!" I kiss her.
She looks back up "Kids come see your new brother" she smiles
"Brother?" They all said gathering around the second they all lay eyes on him.
"Awwwww! Cute" The girls said.
"Sweet another brother, I'm going to teach him so much" Jr. boast
"Not as much as I will" Tyler buts in
"I'll teach him more than either of you" And Jake
"Don't forget about us!" The twins add, Juliet and I just roll our eyes with grins.
Autumn hopped over into the bed to get a better look "Aww cute!" She coos, then she sniffs him hard "He has a new smell too" We all laugh
"Oh Autumn" Vanessa smiles.
The baby moves and squirms and makes little noises trying to wake up, when he opens his eyes we all gasped at the dark green "He has mummy's eyes" Kelly smiles.
"It's only been a few moment but I love him so much" Juliet says aloud
"I love him too Mummy" Autumn smiles as Juliet cradles her into her arms as well.
"Autumn now that you're a big sister, you have to be nice to your little brother"
"I will mummy I promise" She says
I kiss her cheek "Good girl"
"So what did you name him?" Violet asked
"Let's call him Billy, he looks like a Billy!" Vanessa says
"No way name him Alan" Jake says
"Lame! Simon Bluebury, rolls right off the tongue" They all debated back and forth about a name.
"Kids!" Gnomeo says making them pause "We already thought of a name for a boy"
I shake my head in agree "Say Hello to Nye Bluebury!" I say kissing his cheek as he giggled.
"He likes that name" I say smiling as Juliet smiled too.
"Jr. you want to hold your new Brother?"
"Sure" Jr. reaches over and holds him as we all looked at him more
"When we get back home, we need to finish the nursery and move Autumn's things into her new room"
"We'll help out Dad" Juno says.
There was silence before someone broke it "Anyone want to see the pics I took on our trip!" Kelly asks holding her mini camera
"Maybe we should take a photo of the new baby" Bruno says
"Good idea sweetie" I smile, that's when the nurse walked in with a tray of water and pills "Hey you mind snapping a photo?" I ask the nurse
"Of course" She says "Cute baby"
"Thank you"
We all get in close and smile "Smile!" She flashed the picture and hands the camera over to me.
"Aw nice photo" Vanessa grins.
"Of all of us!" I whisper to Juliet as we kiss and adore our new son.
When we brought Nye home for the first time everyone quickly opened up to him, especially Autumn whom seemed to love him the most, she was a big help to us taking extra good care of her brother and playing with him a lot, she even helped Juliet sing him to sleep once, she had the cutest voice.
"Autumn you've been such a big help with your new brother" I say kissing her.
"I love him this much" He stretches her arms wide as I laugh.
That's when Juliet walked in with Nye in her hands, I give her a kiss and look at our son who was smiling "You know there hasn't been a year that's gone by I haven't seen you with a baby in your hands" I joke
She eyes me "Well this will be the last time, for sure" She says seriously.
"Mummy can I play with Nye"
"No my little Season he needs to take his nap now" Juliet says "But you can give him a kiss to sleep by" She bends down so they were face to face.
Nye always smiled when he saw Autumn and she did the same "Have a nice nap Nye" She kissed him as he kissed her back.
"C'mon along Autumn you need your nap too!" I say picking her in my arms as well.
"Bye Mummy"
"Rest well my little Season" She says as we part our separate ways.
Juliet and I had officially completed our family, but big or small it was ours forever and always.
Whoa! It took a long time but I finally made it through for you guys and I had so much fun writing this part and I hope you all enjoyed it too until next time.
