Walking into the E-D a huge smile came across her face, she'd only been away for a few weeks and missed it. Approaching the desk Louise was greeted with a big smile from Charlie, Noel and Big Mac, "hello Dr Marshall how are we?" asked Noel, "fine thank you, just thought I'd pop in and say hello" she replied, Tess approached "oh hello you, how you doing? Not long now is it", "No I'm due in 8 days, it can't come quick enough" Louise replied rubbing her belly, "I bet…" "argh" suddenly Louise doubled over in pain and her waters had broken. "Oh we best get you up to maternity" said Big Mac, "oh no it's too late for that, let's go into peads resus" said Tess. "Where's Nick?" Louise asked breathless, Noel replied "he's in a board meeting and cannot be disturbed", "I think on this one occasion he won't mind" she said with aggression in her voice. "I'll page him" he said picking up the phone "No page him on this" taking a piece of paper out of bag and giving it to Noel. Louise screamed again "right come on you enough of this let's get you in there" she sat in a wheelchair and Big Mac wheeled her into peads resus, setting her down on the bed.
'bleep bleep' "Mr Jordan is that your pager" asked Henry, "No" fishing it out of his jacket pocket looking at it quizzingly, 'bleep bleep' off it went again, "Mr Jordan please answer it or turn it off" "I've told you it's not mine" Nick snapped at Henry then carried on, "hang on" he muttered fishing into his other pocket where his baby pager was kept, gazing down at it. "I gotta go, Louise has gone into labour" he said standing up and running out of the room.
Rushing into resus he was welcomed by the sight of Louise sucking on gas and air with Linda holding her hand and Tess examining her, "about time" "I'm here, I'm here" he replied walking over to her placing his hand on her head stroking her hair and kissing her forehead. "I'm happy to say Dr Marshall your 10 centimetres dilated on the next contraction I want you to push" said Tess, "What? Already" Nick said shocked, "yes it seems this baby has decided it's coming and its coming fast" Tess replied. Taking hold of Louise's hand and stroking her hair with the other "come on babe you can do this" squeezing her hand.
20 minutes later the sound of crying filled resus "congratulations you have a little girl" Nick and Louise gasped looking at one another as tears filled Louise's eyes, Nick cut the cord then moved back to Louise's side as Linda wrapped up the baby and passed her to Nick then left to give them some alone time. Standing there holding his daughter in his arms Nick couldn't be happier tracing his finger between her eyes and down her nose, he looked up at Louise and said "she's perfect just like you" placing her in Louise's arms "she's got your eyes" she said smiling.
A while later Tess came back in to check on them "have you got a name for her yet?" she asked, Nick looked at Louise with the baby in his arms, nodded and mouthed the word 'yeah', "yes meet Ella Rose Jordan" he said smiling, "aww well that's a very pretty name for a very pretty girl, I'll leave you two to it" and out she went. Louise drifted off while Nick sat in the corner with Ella asleep in his arms "welcome to the world little lady, I'm your daddy and I'm going to look after you always" kissing her forehead. He was the happiest man in the world and he finally had what he'd always wanted, a family.
