"That" Mark stated as he sat with Hannah in the corridor "does not sound pleasant"

"For once I am not going to disagree with you" Hannah agreed with her boyfriend as they heard Jess scream once again from the room which she was in with Don by her side. Hannah and Mark said that they would wait until Jess had given birth before going home. Hannah wanted to make sure her new sibling was okay before wandering off anywhere.

"I didn't realise it was that painful" Mark said as Jess shouted out once again and they looked at the door and then shuddered slightly.

"Neither did I" Hannah admitted and checked her watch which read one in the morning.

"She must nearly be there" Hannah said slowly "how long have we been here?"

"Long enough" Mark yawned and ran a hand through his blonde hair.

….

"One more push Mrs Flack" the nurse told Jess as she gasped for breath and squeezed harder onto Don's hand as his other free hand pushed the hair from his wife's face as she took deep breaths and then screamed again.

"You're doing great Jess" he told her "come on…keep going…"

"Just a few more pushes" the nurse said, managing to see the baby on its way.

"Did you hear that?" Don smiled "a few more pushes"

"It was a few more pushes a few more pushes ago!" she snapped at Don "I can't…I can't…do it…"

"Yes you can" Don urged her and she narrowed her eyes at him;

"It's not you pushing this thing from your womb Donald Flack!" she roared and then leant back against her pillows, sweating profusely as she suddenly jolted forward and pushed once again.

"Okay" Don said cautiously and kissed her on the forehead "I know I'm not doing this…"

"I hope you know what pain you've caused me Donald!" she snapped at him again and he couldn't help but chuckled which earned him a swat around the head from Jess as she yelled out once again.

"The head's here" the nurse called "one more push and that's it!"

"Uh!" Jess yelled "oh…oh God…" she said and then stopped her screaming and the only sound which could be heard was the wails of a baby. Jess suddenly sat forward quickly as she heard the crying and Don held onto her hands;

"Is everything okay?" Jess checked and the nurse smiled as she presented a pink little baby in a blue blanket and cradled it gently before handing it down to Jess who cautiously held it to her, unsure of what to do as she looked at the crying creature.

"Say hello to the new Mr Flack" the nurse said and Jess looked at Don who was looking onto the baby, a wide grin on his face as he welled up slightly.

"Don" Jess croaked "It's a boy…a little boy…"

"I know" Don managed to whisper as he kissed Jess quickly and held onto one of the babies hands. It was so small it looked like it could break so easily. And because it was early it was even slightly smaller.

"What shall we call him?" Jess wondered and Don shrugged;

"I don't know" he whispered. They had failed to choose a definite name for their child, what with the events which had taken place previously coming first to them.

"What about…Matthew?" Jess suggested and Don looked down onto the baby who had large blue eyes and a small tuft of black hair on his head and he nodded;

"I like it" he admitted and Jess smiled.

"Matthew Donald Flack" Jess stated and Don raised a brow at her;

"It suits him" she shrugged "and it looks like he's going to have his father's looks so it only makes sense"

"I love you Jessica Flack" Don kissed her again.

"I love you too…now you'd best go bring Hannah in before she dies of nerves"

…..

"Hey" Hannah said when her and Mark walked into the room. Mark walked slowly behind Hannah who was on her crutches as Don walked in front and sat beside Jess on the bed, allowing Hannah to take the chair as Jess slowly handed her the baby.

"Are you sure?" Hannah asked Jess as she passed him to her;

"I think your little brother has a right to meet his sister" Jess smiled at the teen and Hannah took the baby from her. Mark stood to her side and settled down onto the arm and looked as Hannah held the baby cautiously.

"What's he called?" Hannah asked.

"Matthew Donald Flack" Jess stated and Hannah smiled down to the baby.

"Hello Matthew Donald Flack" Hannah smiled at the baby "I'm your big sister…oh my days…you look exactly like our dad…" she realised and Jess chuckled.

"A daddy's boy" Jess smiled and Hannah looked over at Jess as Mark rested a hand onto her shoulder and squeezed it lightly, understanding how she must have been feeling.

"He's so small" Hannah commented and Don laughed once;

"Babies are darling" he told her "and then they grow and everything goes downhill"

"Hilarious" Hannah said sarcastically to her father and handed the baby back to Jess who smiled at her new bundle of pride and joy.
