Chapter 6
A few weeks passed and Hailey and and Krista were both showing in their pregnancies. Kinley was 5 weeks away from having her's and Ted's baby boy when all the mothers decided to throw all the girls a baby shower. Krista was 20 weeks and Hailey was 22 weeks with her twins.
"Mom, Hailey and I don't even know what we are having yet. Let this be Kinley's moment in the spotlight." Krista begged Elaine.
"But we wanted to give you girls the best day possible and its so hard for all of to travel to Boston so much." Elaine responded.
"Alright! You win. I am too exhausted to argue with anyone." Krista stated.
"Good. Now you go rest and I will be working on the shower details." Elaine told her daughter.
Krista headed upstairs and laid down. It wasn't long after she had fallen asleep that Kylee and Isabella climbed on the bed and put their hands on Krista's stomach.
"Momma baby?" Kylee asked her older sister.
"Yes. Momma and daddy having baby." Isabella answered.
"Baby like momma or dada?" Kylee asked.
"I don't know. Momma not tell us what baby be." Isabella answered.
"Girls, leave your momma alone and come here this instant." Elaine stated from the doorway.
"Grama, baby like momma or like daddy?" Isabella asked.
"I don't know sweetie. Mommy and daddy will find out when the time is right." Elaine answered.
Soon John was home and while Elaine dealt with the girls, John headed upstairs to see his wife. Krista was just waking up when John walked into the room. Krista smiled at her husband as he tried to be as quiet as possible.
"John, I'm awake." Krista stated.
"Good. How are you and the baby doing?" John asked as he climbed on the bed and placed a hand on their unborn baby.
"Good. Baby has been moving around a lot. The girls are curious as to what the baby is going to be." Krista answered.
"I bet they are. Do you want to find out now what we are having?" John asked.
"Yeah I do. I want to know if I need to get all new clothes for the baby or if we can use Kylee and Isabella's baby clothes." Krista answered.
"Ok. Then when we go in for our ultrasound, we'll find out." John stated.
"Sounds good to me. Is mom cooking again?" Krista asked.
"Smells like it. I like your mom's cooking." John answered.
"So do I. But my waistline doesn't." Krista responded.
Krista and John soon headed downstairs and joined Elaine and the girls in the kitchen. Meanwhile across town, Kinley and Ted were putting the finishing touches on their son's room. Kinley was exhausted by the time they were done that night.
"Can we order in?" Kinley asked.
"Sure. What do and our son want to eat?" Ted asked.
"Pizza and bread sticks." Kinley answered.
"Ok. I'll place the order and why don't you pop a movie in." Ted responded.
"Ok." Kinley stated as she made her way into the living room.
Once the pizza got there, Ted and Kinley ate while they watched movies. After heading upstairs to go to bed, the baby decided that now he wanted to move around and kick Kinley. Kinley toss and turned for most of the night as the baby wouldn't settle down.
The next day was the triple baby shower. The girls were all sitting in Carol's living room while the guys went to play some golf. The baby shower went on as planned and by the end of the day, the girls along with their mom's were exhausted. John, Randy and Ted all agreed that their moms and their wives deserved a night out with no cooking or cleaning. So they took them all out to dinner.
Four weeks passed rather quickly and soon Hailey and Krista were waiting for their ultrasound appointments. John and Randy made it home just in time to take the girls to their appointments. Krista and John were up first. As the doctor did her exam it was revealed that John and Krista were having a boy. Down the hall, Hailey and Randy had just found out that they were having a boy and a girl.
As Krista and Hailey were talking and the guys were walking behind them wondering how it was possible for them to have energy one moment and none the next. John should have known by now seeing how this was his third child. As they were about to leave the hospital, Krista and Hailey received a text from Ted.
Kinley is in labor at Harbor View Medical. -TDJ
"John, Randy Kinley is in labor upstairs." Krista stated.
"I guess we'll grab lunch here." John responded.
The four headed to the cafeteria and grabbed something to eat before heading up to the labor and delivery waiting room. Carol, Fabo, Matt, Dan, Sean and Steve were all there and Ted's parents were on their way. Krista took a moment to call her mom and let her know that Kinley was in labor and they were still at the hospital.
As the hours passed there still wasn't a baby. John and Krista were getting ready to head home, when Ted came out the double doors. Everyone stood up and looked at Ted.
"Theodore DiBiase III weighs 7lbs 7ozs and is 19 inches long." Ted announced.
"Congratulations!" Krista stated as she hugged her brother-in-law.
"Congrats man." John stated.
As soon as everyone had a chance to congratulate Ted on his and Kinley's son, John and Krista headed home. It wasn't until the next day that John and Krista told everyone that they were finally having a boy. Hailey and Randy also announced the sex of their twins. Everyone was thrilled that the babies were healthy and would soon be here.
Two months passed and both Randy and John were out wit injuries. John had minor surgery on his left shoulder and Randy had laser surgery on his right knee. Hailey was put on bed rest as soon as she hit 32 weeks. Randy and John both had physical therapy appointments on the same day and so Krista stayed with Hailey at the house.
Krista and Hailey curled up on Hailey and Randy's bed and watched movies and soon fell asleep. It wasn't until Hailey felt some pain in her stomach that she woke up. At first she just though it was the babies trying to move around, but soon she felt a gush of warm liquid between her legs.
"Krista! Wake up!" Hailey cried out.
"What's wrong?" Krista asked.
"My water broke." Hailey answered.
"What? You're not due for another 5 weeks. I can't drive and John and Randy are at the hospital for their physical therapy appointments." Krista responded.
Krista tried calling Carol, but no answer. Krista decided that she needed to call the guys even though their phones were off. Krista also called 911 to get an ambulance to take Hailey to the hospital. As she was on the phone with the dispatcher, Hailey really started contracting and wanted to push. Krista didn't know what to do. The dispatcher told her to put the phone on speaker and walked her through everything. Randy and John walked through the door just as Hailey started to push.
"Hailey, I need you to breath and push with the contraction." The dispatcher stated.
"I can see a head." Krista stated after Hailey had pushed 5 times.
"Ok. Grab a clean towel and place it down on the bed. You will use it to clean off the baby and wrap it up." the dispatcher responded. "Hailey, you will probably push three more time before the baby is there. Just hang in there."
Hailey pushed three more times and sure enough the first baby came out. Krista cleaned the baby's mouth, nose and eyes before wrapping him up and giving him to Randy. No sooner did Krista hand the baby over, the second baby was crowning. Hailey with her son in her arms pushed as hard as she could and the baby came out. Krista did the same thing for the second baby as the first.
At that time she heard the ambulance pulling up and headed downstairs to open the door. Once the EMT's were upstairs they took over while Krista washed up. Randy, Hailey and their babies were taken straight to the hospital to be checked out and warmed up. John and Krista locked up the house and followed them to the hospital. Krista called their mom and dad on the way and told them the news.
