A big thank you goes out to everyone who read and reviewed the last chapter! You guys are so awesome!

Ted's eyes widened as soon as Kourtney said she was in labor. "Ok, umm…don't panic," he finally said. "Uh, we need to get a bag packed and stuff. Let's go upstairs!" he exclaimed as he started darting up the stairs.

Kourtney giggled in amusement as she watched Ted run around the room and up the stairs. "Ted," she called.

"What? What is it? Are you ok?" he asked in a hurried voice at the top of the stairs.

"I have had a bag packed and the diaper bag packed for like a month. They are already in the car," she explained as another contraction came. Kourtney instantly grabbed her stomach.

"KARA!" Ted called as he once again darted down the stairs.

Within moments, Kara was also heading down the stairs. "So is a congratulations in order?" she smiled.

"Yes a congratulations is in order. I'm in labor!" Kourtney said as the contraction subsided.

"But I thought-"

"Let's not talk about that right now," Ted interrupted. "Will you help me get your sister to the car?"

Soon they were on the way to the hospital, and Kara timed the contractions from the back seat. "Ted, those contractions are like 5 minutes apart. I would hurry."

Ted only sped up and was weaving in and out of traffic, almost causing an accident. "Ted?" Kourtney calmly asked.

"What?"

"Do you want me to have this baby in the car?"

"Ummm…not particularly," he said smiling.

"Then I suggest you NOT DRIVE LIKE A MAD MAN," she yelled as once again another contraction hit.

"Do you want me to call your parents?" Kara asked Ted.

He then handed her his cell phone. "That would be great! And tell them to call Brett and Leah and Mike too."

"And call our parents," Kourtney instructed in between breaths.

Ted arrived at the hospital within minutes, and Kourtney was instantly taken to the labor and delivery. Once changed into a hospital gown, she was able to get comfortable in bed and the Pitosin was administered. She could instantly feel the pain begin to fade.

"Where is Kara?" she asked about fifteen minutes later.

"Since you can only have one person in the delivery room, Kara is in the waiting room," Ted explained. Kourtney nodded.

About another hour later, the contractions were beginning to come closer together and Kourtney was beginning to feel a lot of pressure and pain in her lower back. "It sounds as if Kourtney is feeling the effects of back labor," one nurse commented.

"How can I stop this?" Kourtney asked through tears.

"An epidural will help, and also your coach can rub your back and even some moms have said rolling a tennis ball is comforting too," another nurse said.

"I want the epidural!" Kourtney screamed as another contraction hit.

Ted instantly sat at the edge of the bed, helped his girlfriend sit up and began rubbing her back. "Does that help at all?"

"A little," she said quietly.

"Do you want mom to bring us up some tennis balls?"

Kourtney nodded. "Yes please call her."

Just then, the fetal monitor started beeping, and the nurse motioned for Ted to move aside. They laid Kourtney back down and put an oxygen mask on her face.

"What's going on?" Ted asked.

It was as if no one listened. Moments later, the beeping stopped and the baby's heart rate climbed back up.

"What happened?" Kourtney asked through the mask.

"It seems as if the baby didn't like you sitting up. For now, it would be best if you continued laying down, and we'll keep an extra eye on the monitor. For now everything looks ok," the nurse said as Ted and Kourtney both breathed a sigh of relief.

A few hours past, and it was now early evening. Kourtney had just gotten her epidural the hour before and was now resting. Ted hadn't left her side and as he grabbed her hand, he softly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," he said quietly.

Ted's dad popped his head in the door way. "Can I come in?"

"Sure," he gestured.

"How's everything going?"

Ted shrugged. "Good. We had a little scare earlier with the baby's heart beat, but got that settled down quickly. Kourt just got her epidural an hour ago so now she's finally resting."

Ted Sr. patted his son's shoulder. "She will be here soon!"

The younger DiBiase nodded. "Dad…can I ask you a question? Do you think I'm even going to be a good dad?"

"Ted, you are going to be a great dad! This little girl is very lucky. Why are you doubting yourself?"

"I don't know," he answered. "I'm just nervous. I've never really been around babies before. What if I do something that will screw up this kid's life forever."

"Your only human," the elder DiBiase said. "You and Kourtney are going to make a lot of mistakes, but the both of you have your families behind you for support. And I have no doubt that no other child will receive more love. Fathers get paternity instincts just like mothers get maternity instincts."

Ted smirked as he looked up and nodded toward his dad. "Thanks dad," he said as he quickly hugged the older man.

About a half hour later, Kourtney woke up and some of the pressure returned because the epidural was wearing off. As a nurse prepared to check her progress, Kourtney silently prayed. She was more than ready.

"What are you thinking about baby?" Ted asked, stroking her forehead.

"I'm just ready to have this baby. I want to be done."

"Well it looks like your going to get your wish," the nurse commented as another went for the phone. "We are going to page Dr. Morgan, and your ready to deliver."

Kourtney burst into tears. "That is the best news I've heard all day."

Everything was set up in a matter of minutes. "Now Ted, your job is to encourage Kourtney as much as possible," Dr. Morgan said as she took a seat in front of the expectant mother.

He nodded as he grabbed her hand. "Ok, I can do that."

Dr. Morgan then took a look at the fetal monitor. "Ok Kourtney, your next contraction should be coming in about 30 seconds or so, and when I start to count I want you to push as hard as possible."

"Ok, I'll try," Kourtney said.

"And push, 1..2...3..."

"Come on baby, your doing great! You can do it," Ted encouraged.

Kourtney let out a breath for a second, but within moments, started pushing again. She felt ready to be done being pregnant and wanted her baby out.

"Good girl," Dr. Morgan said. "Your doing great!"

About ten minutes later, Kourtney pushed one final time and then the room filled with the joyous sounds of crying. She collapsed against her pillow and cried tears of joy as she listened to her daughter. "The baby sounds healthy!"

Ted snapped a few pictures as the nurses wiped and cleaned the baby. "She looks healthy and is absolutely beautiful," he said as walked back to Kourtney. He then kissed her softly. "I love you so much!"

"I love you too."

"Here is your daughter," Dr. Morgan said as she handed the tiny infant to the new parents. "She weighed 7lbs, 7 oz and 20 inches long and born at 6:54 pm. Does she have a name?"

Ted and Kourtney exchanged looks. "Not quite yet," Kourtney said.

"That's fine. For now, she will be called Baby Girl Hammond."

"Oh no. Dr. Morgan it should be Baby Girl DiBiase," Kourtney responded as the doctor nodded and walked away. "Ted, do you want to hold her?"

"Absolutely," he responded. Once the infant was in his arms, he inspected her carefully. She had his nose and lips and big head. As Ted leaned down and carefully kissed the top of her head, he knew that there was no denying that this was his daughter.

"I think she looks like you Ted," Kourtney whispered as she leaned her head against Ted's shoulder.

He nodded, wiping away a stray tear. "I agree. But she does have some of your features. She has your eyes."

Kourtney smiled. "So, what are we going to call this beautiful little girl?"

"You pick baby," Ted replied.

"How about Brianna Marie DiBiase?" Kourtney suggested.

Ted smirked as he looked over his shoulder. "I didn't think you liked that name."

"I've been thinking about it since we found out she was going to be a girl, and Brianna has grown on me. What do you think?"

"I think it sounds perfect. It fits her," he said as he handed Brianna back to Kourtney.

"I think you better go get everyone that is in the waiting room," Kourtney said after a few minutes of silence. "They are going to want to meet this beautiful little angel!"

Ted nodded. "Yeah your right, but do you think we could talk about something before I get them?"

Kourtney looked up from her daughter. "Sure. What's wrong?"

"No, nothing is wrong," he re-assured her as he once again sat on the bed. "Well, do you remember how we were talking right before your water broke?"

"Yeah, and I'm sorry you weren't able to show me your surprise," Kourtney said.

"It's ok and I actually brought it with me."

"Y-You did?" Kourtney asked.

Ted nodded as he dug out the tiny box from his pants pocket. Once in view, her eyes widened. After all the hours of labor, Kourtney completely forgot about eyeing the jewelry box earlier in the day.

"Kourt, you are everything to me and I love you. Will you marry your baby's daddy?" he asked as he opened the box. Once the 2 carat emerald cut diamond was in view, Kourtney gasped out loud.

She looked at the ring for a second and then into Ted's eyes. She could see love, honesty and compassion. There was no question what her answer was. Kourtney then carefully pulled away her left arm from Brianna and looped it around Ted's neck.

"Yes! Yes I will marry my baby's daddy!"

Ted smirked as he passionately kissed his brand new fiance, and then slipped the ring on her finger. "I love you baby," Ted whispered.

"I love you too Ted."
