Chapter 22

MPOV

I walked down the hallway to Nate's room where I knew Justin would be. I opened the door and walked in. I sat on the edge of the bed beside his sleeping form and gently shook him to wake him. He opened his eyes and said, "I'm too tired to go and make a food run," and rolled over on his back.

"I'm not hungry," I replied.

"Then what's wrong?" he asked.

"Please don't panic but I think my water broke," I said.

He sat up in a hurry and said, "What?!"

I was about to tell him to calm down when the bedroom light came on and I heard my dad say, "What is going on in here?!"

"Daddy, I think my water broke," I replied.

"What?!" he said.

"What is all of the hollering about?" Mom asked as she walked up behind Dad.

"I think my water broke," I said again.

"Ok, now we don't need to panic. Morgan you need to go change. Edward, call Dr. Baylor and tell her we're going to the hospital. Justin, get dressed and then help Morgan to the car. I'm going to go and get Ashlynn and Tanner," Mom said. We all just stayed where we were. "Now!" Mom yelled and we all started to do what we were told.

An hour and a half later Justin was pushing me in a wheelchair into the entrance of the Women's Center of the hospital. The pains I was having were getting worse and closer together. Dad checked me in at the front desk and a nurse came and took me to a room. I changed into a gown and then she started and IV and hooked me up to monitors to monitor the baby and me. Mom and Justin stayed with me while Dad went down to the waiting room to call the family and stay with Ashlynn and Tanner. The nurse checked my progress and said, "You're four centimeters dialated. Dr. Baylor is on her way and will come and see you when she gets here. I looked at your chart and you requested to not have an epidural. Correct?"

"Correct," I said. I didn't want the baby or me to be drugged.

"Ok I'll be back later to check again," she said and left.

"I'm going to go check on your dad and the kids," Mom said and left.

I looked at Justin who was holding my hand. "How do you feel?" he asked.

"Well my cervix in the process of stretching so that I can push a human out of me. I'm doing great," I replied and tensed up as I had another contraction.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm sorry. If I would've thought to put on a condom then you wouldn't be in so much pain right now. It's my fault and I'm sorry for that."

I had another contraction and then said, "Don't say that. This baby is a miracle and a gift. This baby is something that two of us made together. Ever since I can remember I always dreamed of growing up and having a family with you and now my dream is becoming reality."

"I love you," he said and leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips.

Three hours later Dr. Baylor came in to check my progress again. "Ok, you're fully dilated. We'll get the room set up to deliver and then start to have you push." It took ten minutes for them to set the room up. Justin never left my side and never let go of my hand. Dr. Baylor walked in the room wearing a gown, gloves, and mask. She put my feet in the stirrups and sat on a stool between my legs. "Ok Morgan, now what you're going to do is take a deep breath lean forward and push down hard. I'll count to ten and then you'll stop. Are you ready?"

"Yes."

"Ok, let's start," Dr. Baylor said. I took a deep breath leaned forward and pushed down until Dr. Baylor counted to ten. "That was great Morgan. Now, let's do it again." We repeated the process over and over and over. I lost eventually lost count. I was in so much pain that I couldn't really comprehend anything. All I could think was I want this to be over. "Ok, you're doing great. Now I'm going to have you keep pushing this time. Keep going until I say to stop." I took a deep breath and pushed. "Good Morgan, keep pushing. Keep going, don't stop. I can almost see the head. Keep going, push, push, push, don't stop yet. Ok Morgan don't stop the head is almost out."

I started to scream from the pain. I tightened my grip on Justin's hand. I felt Justin lean forward. "Oh my god, I can see the head," he said.

"That's great Justin! You should see what it feels like coming out!" I screamed.

"Ok Morgan, the head is out. Now take a break and then I'll have you start to work on getting the shoulders out." I rested for five minutes and then started to push again. I don't know how many times I pushed before Dr. Baylor finally said, "Ok Morgan, one last big push your baby will be here." I took the deepest breath I could leaned forward and pushed as hard as I could and screamed as loud as I could. "Ok Morgan, good you can stop. Justin, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" Dr. Baylor said and I heard a baby's cry fill the room.

"Yes," I heard Justin reply and I let go of his hand.

He grabbed my hand again and I felt Dr. Baylor lay something on my chest. It was my baby. It was moving and crying and they were wiping it down. "Justin, what is it? A boy or girl?" I asked.

"A girl, we have a daughter," Justin replied.

"Morgan, we're going to take the baby to clean it," Dr. Baylor said and my baby was gone.

"You were amazing," Justin said and kissed me.

Finally a nurse walked back in and said, "Morgan, would you like to hold your daughter?"

"Yes," I replied and she handed me a pink blanket. I looked down and saw the angelic face of my beautiful baby girl. She had the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen. I looked up at Justin who was wrapped up in his daughter. The look in his eyes was complete love and joy. It was in that moment that I knew we had made the right choice by keeping her.

I heard the door open and footsteps. I looked up and saw our families walk into the room. Everyone gathered around the bed. "She's beautiful," Mom said and everyone agreed. It wasn't long before Dr. Baylor asked everyone to leave so that I could rest and so that Justin and I could bond with the baby. I handed the baby Justin and he sat down in the chair next to the bed. Eventually I fell asleep.

When I woke up sunlight was shining through the window. I looked around the room and saw Justin walking around holding the baby. He was talking very softly to her. "You know you look like your Mom. Yes you do. You have her cute little nose and her full of life eyes. I promise that you will be loved everyday of your life and no matter what you do I'll always be here for you. Yes I will. I love you and your mother with all of my heart."

"I love you too," I said and he turned around and looked at me.

He walked over and stood beside the bed. "Would you like to hold her?" he asked. I nodded yes and he put her in my arms.

"Hello baby girl," I said and looked at her. Her blue eyes were now getting a touch of green to them. Justin sat on the edge of the bed and put one arm over my legs and leaned in and kissed me.

"You know we still haven't named her," he said.

"Well, what do you want to name her?" I asked.

"We could name her Angel. She looks like an angel."

"No, we're not going to name her that."

"Then what do you think we should name her?"

"Well, I've always liked the name Annabeth. How about Annabeth Leah Marie Black?"

"Black? You're going to give her my last name?"

"Well of course. She is your daughter."

"I just figured you'd give her your last name until we get married."

"No, I want her to have your last name."

"Ok then. Where does the Leah come into play at?"

"Well I figured we name her Marie after my mom and me and Leah after your mom and little sister."

"I like it."

I looked down at our daughter and said, "Do you like that? Annabeth Leah Marie Black?"

"I think it's perfect," Justin said. So we named her Annabeth Leah Marie Black. The nurse came in and we filled out the papers for the birth certificate. When we finished the paper work I feed my daughter. I had decided to breast feed to give her the best advantages.

When I finished feeding there was a knock on the door and Mom stuck her head in and asked, "Are you up for some visitors?"

"Yeah," I replied and she opened the door and Tanner and Dad walked in. Dad was carrying Ashlynn, who was trying to get out of his arms. Mom kept holding the door open and Grandma Esme, Grandma Renee, Grandpa Carlisle, Grandpa Charlie, Uncle Emmett, Aunt Rose, Uncle Jasper, Aunt Alice, Jacob, Leah, Nate, and Addie came in. Addie was carrying Jordan. They all gathered around the room to admire the baby.

"Did you ever name her?" Nate asked.

"Yeah," I replied. "We named her Annabeth Leah Marie Black."

"You named her after me?" Leah asked.

"Yeah, you are one of her grandmothers," I said and she started smiling.

"Thank you," she said. Everyone stayed and visited for three hours and then Tanner and Ashlynn decided it was time for lunch so everyone went down to the cafeteria except my dad.

"Edward, are you coming?" Mom asked.

"I'll meet you down there," he said and Mom nodded in agreement and left. Justin was holding Annabeth and Dad said, "Justin I'd like to talk to you in the hallway." Justin handed Annabeth to me and followed my dad out in the hallway.

Justin came back in after a few minutes. "What was that about?" I asked.

"Nothing," he replied and smiled. I wondered if I would ever know what my dad said to him.

JPOV

I followed Edward out into the hallway and down to the waiting room. The room was completely empty except for us. Edward sat down in a chair and I sat in the one next to him. "Justin," he said.

"Yes sir," I replied.

"I see the way you look at Morgan when she's holding Annabeth and I see the way you look at Annabeth when you're holding her or Morgan's holding her. The look in your eyes is the same look that I had in my eyes when Morgan was born. The look is love and joy and devotion. I can tell that you really do love my daughter and granddaughter; and I can tell that you won't let anything happen to them."

"I promise Dr. Cullen, I won't ever let anything happen to them. I love both of them so much."

"I can see that; and that's why I'm going to say this. Welcome to the family."

"Excuse me?" I asked confused.

"I give you permission to ask my daughter to marry you; and when she says yes I give you my blessing. I give your family my blessing."

"Dr. Cullen, I haven't even asked to do that yet. I mean I was going to ask you. I was going to ask you today."

"Well, now you have my permission and my blessing. Welcome to the family," he said and leaned forward and hugged me. "Oh and one more thing, don't call me Dr. Cullen. Call me Edward."

"Thank you," I said.

"Also I'm sorry for the way I treated you in the past. The only reason I treated you that way was because of my past with your father. I shouldn't have done that and I'm sorry."

"It's ok; I understand that you thought I would hurt your daughter."

"Ok, now go and be with your family," he said. I stood up and walked back to Morgan's room.

Ok so Morgan and Justin have a baby girl. The next chapter will be an epilogue. :( I know sad. So do the readers want to see what will happen when Morgan and Justin move out and go to college and be parents or do you want the story just to end here? Let me know!!!!
