Sorry this took so long to post, but the circumstances were out of my control.
So, here's the next chapter of What You're Worth.

I own Garrett, Rosalyn, Lily, Eric, Mason, Phoebe and Bailey in this chapter.

I'm thinking the next chapter will be the final one...

FOUR MONTHS LATER…

It was two days after Rosalyn's due date. The blonde was resting on the couch while Ted placed some presents under the large Christmas tree. He always made the house look festive at Christmas. The tree was covered in lights and bows, with a big gold star on top. Bailey would be preparing their Christmas dinner in a couple more days, which was always something to look forward to. Right now, all Rosalyn wanted was for her baby to arrive. She felt fed up with being pregnant.

"Will you guys shut up!" the blonde yelled as Lily and Eric sang the same carol repeatedly.

"What got into you?" Eric asked his sister.

"A baby." Rosalyn replied sarcastically.

"Not long now." Lily smiled helpfully.

"This thing was due yesterday!" the blonde pointed at her bump.

"Hey, it's not a thing. It's our child." Garrett said as he walked into the room.

Rosalyn looked up and smiled at him. He bent down and kissed her head softly. They were so loving and relaxed in each other's company. Everyone had said that they were meant to be. Even Phoebe herself had predicted it when they were just months old. Young Garrett's blue eyes would stare at Rosalyn as she learned to smile at him from the arms of her mother or father.

"I feel huge." Rosalyn sighed.

"You're beautiful." Garrett assured her, kissing her lips.

"Uh, I think I'm gonna hurl." Eric pulled a face as he watched his sister's kiss intensify.

"You think our dads are done with the crib yet?" Lily asked.

"Not even close." Eric predicted.

"Actually, they're halfway there." Mason told them as he came down the stairs.

"They sent you away too?" Garrett questioned his brother.

"Yeah." Mason nodded.

Ted and Cody refused any help with the assembling of the crib. Ted for one was adamant that he could still do it after sixteen years since Eric was born. Cody had been eager to help out, although not so much now. Ted had been getting more frustrated and yelling orders to his friend. Bailey had only been upstairs once with refreshments, before being sent straight back down stairs.

"You wait until now to wrap your gifts?" Rosalyn frowned at Mason.

"This is for Allie." He replied.

"What did you get her?" Garrett asked.

"A silver bracelet with a letter A on it." Mason replied.

"That's sweet." Rosalyn smiled.

"I can't wait to give you your present." Garrett told the blonde.

"I got you a baby!" she laughed and patted her bump.

Two hours later, Ted and Cody had succeeded in assembling the crib. They came downstairs in preparation for a meal that Phoebe and Bailey had made. The two families gathered around the dining table and took their seats. Ted stood up and got their attention.

"I wanted to say something, seeing as it's the holiday season. We know that these two families have always been close, but soon we will be joined by the arrival of Rosalyn and Garrett's baby. So, I would like to toast the new generation." Ted said.

"To the new generation." Phoebe nodded and raised her glass.

The others raised their drinks in a toast too.

After dinner, Rosalyn had indigestion. She brushed off Phoebe's suggestion that it might be early labour pains, opting to go and lay down in her room. Garrett was supposed to be going with Cody to pick up something, while Phoebe and Bailey had been clearing up in the kitchen. Eric and Lily must have gone out with friends, and Mason had gone to see Allie.

After another couple of hours, Rosalyn decided that she wanted a drink of water. She walked down the stairs and stopped at the bottom, feeling a little dizzy. As she leaned on the kitchen doorframe, the blonde felt a sharper pain in her gut. That couldn't possibly be a contraction, could it? Phoebe walked over and patted her back gently. Rosalyn took a sharp intake of breath as she clutched her bump. Bailey ran over to her daughter and looked her in the eye.

"Tell us how it hurts. Do you think you're having contractions?" Bailey asked.

"It's sharp and like cramp, except worse." Rosalyn replied quickly.

"Sounds like you're going into labour." Phoebe nodded and smiled.

"Garrett's not here." The blonde pouted in an uneasy manner.

"We can get him back here. Labour can last a while." Bailey replied.

"Great." Rosalyn replied through her teeth.

An hour later the blonde was rolling uncomfortably on the couch. Phoebe called Garrett, who promised to get back soon, so long as the holiday traffic didn't hold him up. Bailey called the doctor, who said not to bring Rosalyn in yet. Phoebe rubbed the young blonde's back supportively and comfortingly as they waited for Garrett to arrive back. After another twenty minutes he did arrive back.

"Rosalyn, I'm here." He whispered as he threw off his jacket and hugged her.

"This is really painful and uncomfortable." Rosalyn told him.

"I know, but just keep thinking about finally seeing our baby." Garrett smiled.

"Ok, I'll try." She nodded.

Phoebe was keeping track of the contractions. Once she counted twenty minutes in between each one, she told Bailey to call the doctor. The doctor told them it was time to bring Rosalyn in. The two older women helped the young blonde out to Garrett's car. He drove off in the direction of the hospital, occasionally glancing to his side to see how Rosalyn was doing. She was closing her eyes and practising her breathing exercises that she had learned.

"Not long." He assured her.

"I'm not gonna have the energy to push." Rosalyn frowned.

"You will, I'm here every step of the way." He told her.

"Will you stay with me?" the blonde asked him.

"Of course I will." He nodded.

Once they arrived at the hospital, Garrett took Rosalyn up to the maternity unit in a wheelchair. Dr. Kelley was already expecting them, so she led them into a delivery room. She gave the blonde a little pain relief and checked how far gone she was. The redhead nodded and put down her stethoscope.

"It's almost time Rosalyn." She smiled.

"I can't wait." The blonde sighed.

"You're calmer than I expected." Garrett told her.

"Stress will be bad for the baby." Rosalyn replied.

"I'm so proud of you, and I love you so much." Garrett smiled as he rubbed her back.

"Love you too." She smiled.

"Are you ready to meet your baby?" the doctor asked.

"Let's do this." Rosalyn nodded and braced herself for the pain.

She kept to her breathing exercises as the pain tore through her body. Garrett held her hands, allowing her to squeeze his to death in the process. The doctor urged the blonde to go on, reminding her of how well she was doing. Rosalyn gave a shriek as the baby's head crowned. Dr. Kelley told her patient that in just a few more pushes, she could have her baby out. The blonde flopped back onto the bed and sighed. Garrett kissed her damp forehead and urged her to push once more.

"This hurts so much!" Rosalyn yelled as she fought the pain barrier.

"Push, keep pushing." The doctor ordered.

"I'm gonna die!" she sobbed as she pushed.

"That's it. The head is out. Just one more push could do it." Dr. Kelley smiled encouragingly.

"I can't do any more." Rosalyn sighed as she flopped back again.

"One more, you know you can do it." The doctor nodded.

"Come on, one more push." Garrett whispered and kissed Rosalyn's cheek.

The blonde sat up and squeezed Garrett's hands until they were almost purple in colour. Every ounce of energy she had left was pushing downwards to deliver her baby. After the initial pain of feeling like she would split in two, Rosalyn felt a release and the doctor reached between her legs.

"That's it. Can I have the clamps please?" the doctor said.

"I did it." Rosalyn smiled.

"Yes you did. Congratulations, it's a boy. Does daddy want to cut the cord?"

"Sure." Garrett nodded.

He couldn't keep the smile from his face as he cut the cord that connected Rosalyn and the baby. The doctor passed the baby to a nurse, who weighed him and cleaned him up a little. She wrapped him in a soft blue blanket and walked over to the overjoyed couple. Rosalyn carefully took the small bundle from the nurse and peeped over at his little face. Garrett reached out and stroked the baby's perfectly formed hands. Their son obviously liked this, because he took Garrett's finger and clung to it with his little fist. Rosalyn cried through a whole mixture of emotions.

"He's amazing." Garrett whispered.

"We made him." Rosalyn replied.

"I love you." He turned to her and kissed her lips.

"I love you too." Rosalyn nodded.

"We have a son." Garrett smiled as they eyed the newborn baby boy.
