9:15 p.m.
Sarah is in the bathroom when she notices that the delivery of the baby has started. She walks out of the bathroom and says "Harm we have to go to the hospital. The baby is cominh." Harm calls Admiral Chegwidden who will watch Rose and after he arrives he takes Mac to the hospital. He and Mac both know that it is going to be a very painful and long delivery due to her illness.
14.04.1998, 4:30 a.m.
Sarah has been quiet able to sleep through the contractions. Harm was very happy and relieved about that. But he knows that the very painful part is only hours away. He just hopes that she has the strenght for it, without an cesarian section. That is the last thing she wants.
11:30 a.m.
Sarah has been in labor for 14 hours now. She is still not able to have an epidural. For the moment the pain seems bearable but she knows too, that the very painful part is still to come.
5 p.m.
Now Sarah gets an epidural which will hopefully let her sleep for six to eight hours.
3 a.m.
After eight hours of sleeping because of the epidural Sarah now wakes up slowly. After a few minutes the contractions start again and this time they are very painful. She now was in very bad pain, which was even worse, than normal birth pain. But she thankfully was not alone and had Harm at her side. He did everything he could to ease the pain and make it easier for her. He encouraged her in every way he could and did every kind of therapy he did while Rose´s delivery too.
12:23 p.m.
At 23 minutes past noon Sarah gives birth to their second baby, a son. He is named after Sarah´s father Patrick, after Sarah´s grandfather from her father´s side Patrick and after Sarah´s grandfather from her mother´s side David. His name is David Patrick Rabb. He was born after 39 hours of labor at the Navel Hospital. Her Godparents are Damon and Claire Rabb, Harmon´s Brother and his wife.
