Chapter 31: Little Boy Scott

Tommy and Kim's House, Reefside

April 7, 2005

6 pm

It was Saturday night and Kim and the kids were with Tommy spending the weekend with him, like they planned. They were playing games with the kids when the phone rang.

"Hello?" Tommy answered it.

"Hey bro, it's time!" Jason said.

"Really? Where are you?" Tommy asked.

"On the way to the hospital now…breathe, Trini, don't stop breathing," Jason told her.

"Okay, let me call my mom and once she gets here, we'll be over," Tommy said as he hung up.

"She's having the baby now?!" Kim asked excitedly.

"Yes, she is! They're on their way to the hospital now," Tommy said.

A half an hour later Kim and Tommy arrived at the hospital and went straight to the maternity ward. Jason met them at the elevators.

"Good, you're here! She dilated at 6 centimeters and just got the epidural," Jason said as they went to Trini's room.

Trini was sitting up in bed, watching TV. Kim went to her side, while Tommy and Jason stayed back by the chairs.

"Hey, Trini, how're you doing?" Kim asked, giving her friend's hand a squeeze.

"Doing better now that I got the epidural," Trini said.

"Good," Kim said.

8 pm

Trini was holding her own as the contraction came harder and faster. Jason held her as she was standing up, hoping that gravity would do it's work and make the baby drop lower into the birth canal.

"Make it stop, Jason! Please, make it stop, I can't take anymore of this!" Trini cried.

"I wish I could, Tri, but you're doing good. Just keep breathing. It'll be over soon," Jason reassured her, rubbing her lower back.

Tommy and Kim just watched from the safety of the chairs.

A half an hour later of standing and Trini knew she was ready.

"Jason, I need to lie down. I have to push, now!" Trini said.

"Okay, walk backwards. The bed's behind you," Jason said as they walked backwards until Trini could feel the bed. She laid down on it. Kim went to get the nurse.

The nurse came in and checked Trini. She went to call the doctor.

Soon the doctor came in. Jason went to Trini's right side, while Tommy and Kim went to Trini's left side.

"Okay, Trini, when I'm ready you can start pushing," Dr. Mason said getting ready.

"Okay, ready when you are," he said.

Trini looked at Jason. He nodded.

Trini bore down and pushed slowly.

But after seven pushes the doctor grew concerned. He checked her and got frustrated.

"Looks like this little guy is sunny side up," the doctor said.

"What does that mean?" Jason asked.

"It means he's facing up instead of down, making it hard for him to exit the birth canal. JT was sunny side up when I had him," Kim said.

"You never told me that," Jason, Trini, and Tommy said in unison.

"I didn't think I had to," Kim said.

"She's right, we have to use a vacuum suction to ease his head down and out, so he exits the birth canal no problem," the doctor said as the nurse wheeled the vacuum suction in.

The doctor placed the suction cup on the baby's head and the nurse turned on the vacuum.

"A hard push this time," the doctor said as Trini pushed hard, crying out at the same time.

"Good, the head is out. He's a big one!" the doctor said as Trini glared at Jason, who gulped.

"A couple harder pushes and he should be out," the doctor said as Trini pushed as hard as she could, letting out a scream.

A loud cry matched hers and she fell back on the bed, completely exhausted.

"It's a big boy, and he's got a head full of hair on his head," the doctor said laying the baby on Trini's chest as the nurses were drying him off.

"Are you still mad at me?" Jason asked looking at his son.

"No, not at all. I love you so much!" Trini said kissing Jason.

The nurse took the baby to the scale to weigh and measure him.

"9 pounds 7 ounces, 20 ½ inches long! He's a big boy all right!" The nurse said as she laid him on the warmer, took his footprints, and wrapped him up in a blanket and put a blue cap on his head. She handed him to Jason.

Jason held his son for a few minutes as Tommy clapped him on the shoulder.

"Nice job, bro! Not bad for your first time," Tommy said.

"Hello! He didn't do anything! I did all the work!" Trini said.

"But I helped create him!" Jason said.

"Yeah, you got the easy job, but you're the one getting up at 3 in the morning," Trini said as Jason groaned. Kim and Tommy laughed.

"Did you pick out a name yet?" Kim asked.

"Yesterday. Guys meet Carson Thomas Scott," Trini said now holding her son.

"That's a nice name," Tommy said as Trini handed the baby to Kim. She sat down in the chair, cradling the baby close to her.

Tommy walked over to her.

"Just think, Tommy, we'll be holding our daughter a month from now," Kim whispered.

"Yeah, I can't wait, beautiful," Tommy said kissing Kim on the forehead.
