Here comes the baby! Enjoy!

Zoey spent the next few days on the couch in Addison's office. Derek had to return to Seattle, but promised to return as soon as she needed him. Since Addison didn't want her home alone the best option was to bring her to the practice and keep an eye on her there. Really though, that was the best place for her as she would be surrounded by doctors if anything happened. Today Addison had several patients she needed to see and Amelia was at the hospital following up on a patient, so Zoey ended up in Violets office.

"You have a son right?" Zoey asked Violet, who was sitting at her desk.

"Yeah, Lucas. Why do you ask?" Zoey shrugged and looked away,

"No reason," She said dismissively. Violet could tell that something was bothering the younger girl and pressed on,

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Talk about what?" Zoey asked,

"Whatever it is that's worrying you. I can tell there is something wrong." Zoey paused for a second and then sighed,

"What if I'm a bad mom?" Violet looked at Zoey, no matter what age a mother always worried that she would be a bad mom, and the fact that Zoey was only sixteen just made it worse,

"You're not going to be a bad mom," Violet started, Zoey interrupted,

"You don't know that! I could be the world's worst mom! Everyone says that teenagers who get pregnant are stupid and don't know what they're doing and can't for their kid. What if they're right? What if my baby's life sucks because I am not a good enough mom," Zoey started to ramble but Violet stopped her.

"Hey, you will be a great mom ok? So maybe you don't know what you're doing, but how many first time moms actually know what they're doing? You just have to learn as you go. And just because you are a teenager it doesn't mean that you're going to be a terrible mom, ok? You have your mom and dad to help you. And Amelia definitely. And you have all of us if you need anything. You have a house for your baby. You're doing better than some moms right now. So you are not going to be a bad mom and you're babies life is not going to suck. Ok?" Zoey thought about what Violet said,

"I guess you're right. I just want the best for my daughter."

"I know, that's all any mom wants. It'll be ok." Zoey nodded. They sat in silence for a little while. About an hour later Zoey felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Violet noticed Zoey wince, "What's wrong?" she asked worriedly, getting up from her desk and walking over to the couch where Zoey was laying.

"I don't know. It hurt again. But it's not the same kind of pain I felt before, and it's gone now," Zoey said, panicking. Realization passed over Violet's face. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"I don't think anything is wrong really. I think you're in labor. I think you felt a contraction. I'm going to get your mom, stay put," Violet said, racing out of the room.

"Like I can really go anywhere anyway," Zoey mumbled under her breath and rolling her eyes. She could hear Violet throughout the practice screaming for Addison,

Violet burst into Addison's office where she was just finishing up a patient, "Ever heard of knocking?" Addison asked, annoyed.

"No time for knocking. I think Zoey might be in labor," Violet said excitedly.

"What?" She quickly finished up with her patient and made her way to Violet's office. She quickly determined that her daughter truly was in labor and went into doctor mode, "Alright Zo, let's get you to the delivery room so we can have this baby." Violet and Addison helped her walk into the delivery room and onto the bed. "Ok, looks like you're only about three centimeters dilated, so we've got some time before the baby comes. I'm going to go call your dad. Violet stay with her." Violet nodded and Addison left the room,

"So are you excited?" She asked Zoey, who looked terrified.

"Do I seem excited?" she asked as Amelia came into the room.

"Hey! How's the mommy to be?" she said.

"She's scared," Violet answered for Zoey.

"Aw, Zo, it'll be fine. Your mom had delivered hundreds of babies, you're in good hands."

Three hours later Zoey was still lying in the bed, not dilated enough for the baby to come out.

"Mom! What is taking so long? Shouldn't she be born by now?" Zoey asked. She was getting tired of waiting for her baby. She was uncomfortable and bored of waiting.

"It take some time Zoey, it doesn't just happen right away. You're almost there though, you're about seven centimeters."

"Can't you hurry it up somehow?" Amelia laughed and Addison rolled her eyes,

"No Zoey, I cannot hurry it up. You just have to wait."

"Ugh, this sucks."

"Hey stop complaining. I was in labor with you for about fourteen hours. This is payback."

"Thanks mom. Is dad going to be here soon?" she asked, changing the subject.

"He just texted me, his plane just landed and he's on his way. He should be here in time if we keep going at the rate we have been." Amelia said. Sure enough thirty minutes later Derek ran into the room.

"How's it going?" he asked, mainly to Addison.

"She's at ten centimeters now. It's time to push Zo." Derek went and stood next to Zoeys head, taking her hand, knowing that she would need it, while Amelia did the same thing on the other side, "Ok, push…"

Ten minutes later Addison handed the screaming baby to her mother,

"Congratulations mommy," Addison said, "You did good." They all gathered around and looked at the baby; she had fuzzy blonde hair and greenish/blue eyes.

"She's perfect," Zoey said, staring into the eyes of her daughter. As soon as Addison had handed her to Zoey she stopped crying, "Hi baby, I'm your mommy and I love you. And I will always love you, no matter what happens. I promise. And I promise to take really good care of you, I may not know what I'm doing, but I sure will try. You're a beautiful baby,"

"She looks like you did when you were born," Derek said to Zoey," that hair and the eyes, they're almost exactly the same."

"Hear that baby? That's your Grandpa Derek, but he says you're not allowed to call him grandpa, he thinks it makes him sound old. And that's Grandma Addie, but you can't call her grandma either. It's a good thing you won't be able to talk for a while. That's Auntie Amelia. She's technically you're great aunt I guess, but it doesn't matter. And we're your family," she finished, "Here mom, you should hold her." Addison took her granddaughter from her daughter and held her gently. She spent time with babies every day, but this one was different. This one was her granddaughter. She held her for a few minutes before she was passed around to Derek and then Amelia. Amelia handed her back to Zoey when she started to fuss,

"So, do you know her name?" Amelia asked.

"Lily. Lily Anne Montgomery Shepard."

"It's perfect," Amelia said. Addison and Derek agreed. A few minutes later Naomi stuck her head in the door,

"How's it going in her?" She asked quietly.

"Come meet my daughter," Zoey said. Naomi walked over to the bed. Zoey handed the baby to her,

"Aunt Naomi, meet Lily Anne Montgomery Shepard."

"That's such a pretty name. Pretty name for a pretty girl. You did good Zoey," she said, handing the baby back to her. Soon after that everyone came in to meet the new baby. About an hour later Zoey had fallen asleep with the baby against her chest. Addison tried to take the baby, but Zoey unconsciously held on a little tighter.

"Guess they're staying there," Addison said to Derek.

"I can't believe we are actually grandparents," Derek said. It was just the two of them in the room now.

"I know. I mean, I always knew it was going to happen. But never this soon."

"I guess all we can do now is embrace it. We're grandparents and there is nothing we can do about it. She is beautiful though, both of them." Derek said, looking at his daughter and granddaughter.

"Yeah, they definitely are," Addison agreed. They continued their hushed conversation for a while before eventually both of them falling asleep as well.

This seemed like the perfect place to end it. Sorry it took me a little while, I've been super busy lately. Hope you loved it! Leave me a review and let me know!
