This takes place in the future...

Andy was lying in the bed, one hand firmly clasping her husband's hand. As pain radiated through her body, she squeezed.

When the pain subsided, she relaxed her grip on his hand and looked at him. The depth of concern that she saw in his eyes as he watched her filled her with intense love.

Sam saw that she was watching him and gave her his dimpled smile as he stroked her cheek gently. "You okay love?"

Andy gave him a look. "I told you that I never wanted to be in this bed again. Do you think I'm okay?"

Sam leaned in and kissed her forehead. "Yeah, you did say that but this is different."

Andy glared at him and was about to retort when the door flew open. "Sorry I'm late. Traffic was a beast."

Sam chuckled as the woman who walked in settled herself on Andy's other side. "You know, I never realized until today that although you never curse, you somehow manage to find words that start with the same letter and have the same amount of letters as the curse word a person would normally use in the situation."

"Sammy…"

Sam smirked. "You know I'm right."

He was about to say more when Andy grabbed both of their hands as another pain shot through her body. When the pain passed, Andy looked at both of them. "I'm not refereeing another Swarek sibling feud. You two can battle out this issue at some other time."

Sarah smiled softly. "You married a smart one Sammy."

"I know." Sam leaned in and kissed Andy's forehead. "How are you really feeling?"

Andy looked at him. "Ready to get this baby out of me." She loved how he asked her if she was okay or how she was feeling after every contraction. She hoped Sarah would stop it though, when the contractions got closer together, she had a feeling his questions would start to annoy her.

Sarah chuckled. "I think I said the same thing. By the way Sammy, Mom is quite miffed at you right now."

Andy rolled her eyes. "Sam didn't do anything wrong."

"Yeah, but he told Mom that you were not due for another two weeks."

"I wasn't. The baby decided that he or she wanted to come into this world earlier than planned."

Sarah grimaced. "Mom's in Florida visiting a friend. She's working on pushing up her return ticket to today in Toronto instead of three days from now in St. Catharines. You do know that she plans on moving in to help you."

Andy waited for the next contraction to pass before answering. "She asked me and I told her I could use the help. My Dad won't be that big of a help and St. Catharines is only an hour away so if she needs to go home, it is not such a long ride."

Sarah smiled. "True. But you know that she is not going to leave until you kick her out."

It was Sam's turn to smile. "Not going to happen. You are going to call her first, begging for her to come back."

Sarah was about to answer when Andy grabbed their hands again and screamed as another contraction ripped through her body. "They are getting closer."

A knock sounded on the door and the doctor entered. She quickly examined Andy. "You are nine centimeters. Almost there."

Andy's response was a groan.

An hour and a half later it was over. In her arms lay a beautiful baby boy. Sarah slipped out of the room to call the family and give Sam and Andy some alone time with their son before the hoards of visitors arrived.

Andy could not tear her gaze from the sleeping figure in her arms. Sam sat next to her on the bed, with his arm around her. She knew that his gaze was on their son as well.

Finally she spoke, breaking the silence. "The baby needs a name Sam."

Sam nodded and lifted her chin so that she was looking in his eyes. "Remember the night after I told you that you had a lion's heart?"

Andy nodded; light in her eyes. They had discussed possible names for girls and boys since they did not want to know the sex of the baby but they had not settled on a name. She saw where he was going.

"You told me when we left Marie's house after fixing her sink that you wanted to name your son after Benny. What do you think of the name Benjamin Swarek?"

Andy had tears in her eyes. "I can't believe I forgot that conversation until now. Thank you Sam."

Sam kissed her forehead gently. "Anytime sweetheart. Now rest."

He took their son from Andy's arms. Slowly, Andy's eyes closed and she drifted to sleep. Sam held his son, rocking him gently, thinking about how lucky he was. Andy had almost died a little under two years ago and now, here they were, married and welcoming their son into the world.
