Epilogue

Noelle and John were sitting on the sofa in the Swarek house. All four of them had become really close friends. Andy had asked Traci and Noelle to be her bridesmaids at her wedding to Sam. Noelle had become a really great friend to Andy when Sam asked Andy to marry him. She told Andy that Sam would never leave her and she would not be her mother and walk out on her family. Andy is 5 months pregnant and now is getting more worried, she still need the reassurance from Noelle and Traci. Traci, Noelle and Andy would have their now regular girly nights a bit of bonding between them. Also they would go baby shopping, Noelle would get excited going into the baby stores. Everyone from the barn knew the whole situation of how John and Noelle broke up and now they were a couple again.

So John and Noelle are over for a dinner at the Swarek household.

"Andy how are you feeling now that you are at home?" Noelle expressed "You looked exhausted at the barn today?"

"I am fine. Now I am home and in my sweatpants and t-shirt. Those uniforms even the ones they give you when you are pregnant aren't that comfortable. At least when on desk duty you can hide that you can unbutton those things. More importantly how are you? Didn't expect you to be in today." Andy was surprised to see Noelle in at all.

"I am good, I was going stir crazy at home. John was doing my head in. Sorry sweetheart but you were. He was fussing all over me and I was like I got to get out of here. So I just headed to the barn to see everyone. I have missed all of you guys especially razzing Sam and Oliver." Noelle smiled she couldn't go by a few days without winding up one or other of them or sometimes both.

"Sorry, for fussing all over you today. I love you and want to make you feel comfortable. Can't I do things for the one I love?" John said.

"Yeah, you can do things for me but don't go over the top. I hate it when I feel like I am being smothered. I love you too." Noelle patted John's leg, looked up into his eyes and smiled.

"You should be taking it easy Noelle, John was just looking out for you. I know how John is feeling at the moment." Sam added to the conversation.

"Well you two have had a lot of male bonding time recently. How many times after the late shift have you two met up at The Penny and fell into the your homes in the last 2 months?" Noelle was in the mood to wind up John and Sam. So this is a perfect time.

John and Sam looked at each other and thought to themselves. Busted

"It hasn't been that many." John held his hands up

"Look who has been counting" Sam said with a hurt look across his face.

Andy knew that Noelle was in the process of winding up the two men. "Well, I am waiting on an answer?"

"Don't you start Swarek 2" John looked at Andy and just shook his head.

"It looks like the women in our lives are ganging up on us. John they don't deserve an answer." Sam said half gruffly and half joking.

"Yeah, I think you are right. Sam. If we want to have some male bonding time then we will have it. We don't need their permission to go out for a drink or two after work. They are just jealous that they can't join in." John turned the whole situation from Noelle and Andy trying to wind up him and Sam. To now John and Sam winding up Andy and Noelle.

"Well, soon Sam will be needing a hall pass to go out drinking. I think you'll be needing one before Sam, John." Noelle turned it back onto both of them.

"Yeah, yeah what ever Noelle." John just smiled. He didn't want to get into a fight with Noelle. Things were extremely good between them at the moment so he didn't want to rock the boat.

Andy piped up "Why don't you both go and get your favorite women a drink. Then we can have another little toast"

Both men got up and walked into the kitchen to get Noelle and Andy a drink. They were both shaking their heads.

Once out of earshot Noelle turned to Andy. "Looks like we have got them trained well?"

"Yeah, but I think I have still a bit of training to do with Sam and its going to be fun. Teaching an old dog new tricks." Andy jested then burst out laughing. When Andy's laughing became infectious Noelle just burst out laughing too. So hard it actually hurt.

"Good one Andy. He is an old dog but an obedient one at that." Noelle could feel another bought of laughing coming "I better stop laughing or I am going to be in trouble." Get a grip, Noelle.

The men heard the laughing from the kitchen and made their way back into the living area.

"Hey, what the hell are you both laughing at?" John asked, hoping that they were not the butt of the joke.

"Yeah, spill Andy?" Sam demanded with a scowl on his face.

Andy couldn't look them in the eyes and burst out laughing again. Noelle couldn't help it but follow Andy in laughing. Sam and John darted their eyes between themselves and their significant others. Andy abruptly stopped when she felt something move in her stomach.

"Sam, get over here now. I think our baby is moving." Andy said, gently rubbing her belly.

Sam moved over and rubbed his wife's stomach. He felt the baby moving in his wife's stomach. He just looked at Andy and tears were in both of their eyes. Sam gave Andy a kiss. John and Noelle just looked on in awe of them. Getting excited about the birth of their child.

"Andy, you mentioned something about a toast. What are we going to toast to?" John spoke up breaking the touching moment.

"I was thinking to love, life and happiness." Andy suggested.

"Sounds good to me." John agreed. Noelle and Sam nodded.

Sam gave Andy her drink and Noelle got hers from John. So both couples stood up and raised their glasses. Andy said, "To love, Life and Happiness." They clinked glasses and took a sip. Then all of a sudden, Noelle felt a sharp stabbing pain come into her stomach and let out a yell. "ah" whilst holding onto her stomach.

She looked at John he knew what was about to happen. Noelle said "John I think it's time I went to hospital." John went pale straight away.

"Is there anything we can do?" Sam said in a panicked voice.

"Yeah can you please call, Traci and ask her to meet us at the hospital." Noelle replied. "What are we standing here for. Sam and Andy are you coming?"

"Yeah we will becoming. We will call Traci on the way. You two just make your way to the hospital. We will be straight behind you."

John gently helped Noelle get to out of the house to the car. Once in the car, Noelle had another stabbing pain in her stomach. John didn't care if it got himself in trouble. He pulled out the flashing light he kept in the car if he was rushing to a scene and gunned it to the hospital. Noelle called the hospital on the way to let them know they were coming in.

Once at the hospital, John grabbed a wheelchair and got Noelle up to the labour unit. The contractions were coming thick and fast. A member of the nursing staff was there waiting for them. "Are you Noelle Morgan?" Noelle nodded.

"Okay, we will get you settled in to your room? Is your birthing partner or partners here?" the young midwife asked.

"I have two. My husband John here and my other birthing partner is on her way." Noelle replied.

While the nursing staff were getting Noelle settled, John was pacing up and down the waiting area. Eventually Sam and Andy made it to the hospital.

"How is she?" Sam inquired.

"She is getting settled into the room. They have asked me to step out while they do that" John stated while he was still pacing up and down.

"Is there anything we can do for you?" Andy asked.

"No there is nothing, just you two being here is enough." John quietly said trying to keep hold of his nerves.

Andy and Sam sat down in the chairs of the waiting room, watching John pace up and down. About 5 minutes later, Traci and Jerry came rushing in. Traci was out of breath but managed to get out "Where is she?"

"They are getting, Noelle settled at the moment. They will come out and get us when she is ready." John said.

About another 5 minutes passed. When the young midwife came out to get John and Traci. Noelle had asked Traci to be her birthing partner because Traci was the one that she eventually turned to, to help with her injections to get pregnant. So Noelle thought that it was the only right thing to do was to ask Traci to be her co birthing partner.

While Noelle, John and Traci were in the birthing suite, Sam, Andy and Jerry were sitting out in the waiting area. Sam and Andy looked at each other thinking that this is coming soon for them. They sat with their hands on Andy's belly with the baby moving side of her. One after another someone from the 15 rocked up to the hospital. Oliver was the first there, closely followed by Chris and Gail. Then came Dov and Frank. They all waited in the waiting area.

About 7 hours later John emerged from the delivery suite. He looked exhausted but really happy. He cried out "It's a boy"

Everyone from the 15 let out a collective yell of happiness. They all hugged or gave themselves a pat on the back. One after another they all went up and hugged or patted John in congratulations. Traci emerged and walked over to Andy and Sam and spoke to them "Noelle, has asked me when they have got her sorted. She would like to see you two."

"Sure Trace, how is she and how is he?" Andy asked.

"She was marvellous and he is absolutely beautiful." Traci sighed with exhaustion.

John made his way back into the room to his wife and son. Then a voice came from the crowd that had gathered, "Has anyone brought anything that we can wet the babies head with?"

Frank spoke up. "I have brought something," he reached inside the bag he was carrying and produced a bottle of scotch as well as cups. The cups and drink were passed around everyone. Then Frank spoke up "As staff sgt off all you reprobates and friend of Noelle. Can we raise our cups to Noelle, John and Baby Morgan"

Everyone toasted their friends. About 15 mins later, John came back out to get Sam and Andy. They both walked into the room to survey the scene in front of them. Noelle holding her son and John sat down beside his wife and child.

"Wow, he is so gorgeous Noelle," was all Andy could get out before tears built.

"Congrats Noelle and John. He is good looking kid. Takes after his mother sorry John" Sam jested.

"What's his name?" Andy inquired

"We are going to call him Christopher Morgan." John jumped in before Noelle could answer.

"The reason I asked both of you to come in. I want to ask you a question?" Noelle looked at her son and her husband "We would like to ask you to be Christopher's god parents!"

"Are you sure Noelle?" Sam replied.

"Yes, we are sure. If it weren't for you both having the grill party at your house we wouldn't have reconnected. We were given our second chance that day and now our beautiful son. So please say, Yes" Noelle explained

Sam and Andy looked at each other and in unison said, "Yes"

Noelle now happy that her two friends had said yes, looked at her son in her arms and thought. How have things changed dramatically in less than 2 years, John coming back into my life. Us getting engaged within 6 months to marrying 5 months later then coming back off honeymoon to find out I am pregnant. Noelle smiled with happiness.
