Hi readers! TwinGleeks101 here once again reporting to you! We're supposedly on study leave at the moment which basically translates into us in the living room with our laptops and having hot drinks every few hours. Aside from that, nothing much has been happening. Over the past few days, me and Georgia have been discussing the disney version of Pocahontas. Okay, nothing new there, we discuss disney all the time and Pocahontas was the start of the disney downfall as everyone knows. But, what everyone may not know was that it was in production during the same time that The Lion King was being made and the producers invested all their time and all their effort into Pocahontas, believing that it would be the big one, the next Beauty and the Beast and the The Lion King would just be a cheap gimmick that no one would want to see. In an early version of Pocahontas, the animals were originally meant to talk and the there was going to be a turkey sidekick called Redfeather but after John Candy who was voicing him dies, the whole idea was scrapped. Before I forget, we also need names. Boy names,girl names, just names. Peace Out! TG101 :-D x

"...that's it, just breathe." Quinn soothed, rubbing Mercedes' shoulder comfortingly.

"Quinn, it's not even that bad, they're just slightly uncomfortable."Mercedes smiled, shrugging Quinn's hand off "Besides, my water hasn't broken and I haven't lost my plug so it's all good"

"Okay" she mumbled, sounding skeptical "Just remember, ice chips are a saviour and if the pain gets too much, it's perfectly okay to ask for pain relief, you won't be considered weak for doing so."

"Thanks Quinn. I'm fine, I'm just uncomfortable"

"Go on the ball" Kurt suggested, taking a sip of his coffee "Or have a bath, that's what Carole did when she had Meggie."

"Thanks Kurt but...I'd rather take advice from someone who's done labour before? It's not that I'm ignoring you because I'm not to a certain extent,it's just that you've never done it before so you don't fully know. Ow"

Her nose crinkled, one hand plastered on her stomach "Um...Mom...contraction? Can you, can you...write it down in the book..."

"Sure thing Mercy."

"This sucks...Kurt,can you call the hospital to let them know I'm on my way? The number's on the fridge."

"Will do. Should I ask for an ambulance or are you okay?"

"I'm fine...I'm...fine"

"Okay whatever you say boo"

"Hey Mercedes." Dr Meyers greeted, shaking the woman's hand "How you feeling?"

"Sucky." she chuckled, wincing "Real sucky at the moment."

"Don't worry, that's perfectly normal. I'll just check how dilated you are then we'll take things from there. This will be painful but it'll only be for a brief moment." the young doctor explained, snapping on some gloves. "Alright...legs up and take a deep breath in"

Mercedes took a deep breath, her eyes widening as a pair of fingers entered her body. She hissed as they moved around before coming back out.

"Good news." Dr Meyer said, putting the gloves in the bin and washing her hands "You're definitely dilated...about 3 centimetres so we're gonna go ahead and admit you."

"Finally." Mercedes laughed shakily, feeling the kicks against her palm. "I know honey, I know."

"Hey Mercedes!" Sugar smiled, coming into the room, a small bag in each hand.

"Hey Sugar. What's with the bags?"

"Something for the baby. I figured since the gender is unknown I might as well get one of each. Oh! This is just exciting! I can't WAIT till my babies come." she gushed, giving Mercedes a hug "How's the pain?"

"So-so. I'm getting tired at the moment and according to the doctor I need to get as much rest as possible."

"I for one can't wait for Evans junior to arrive. Everyone's making bets on the gender and the time. From what I know, Puck's bet 50 dollars for a boy at 3 in the morning. Even Kurt and Finn's little sister is in on it"

"I don't think so. It may be Sam's kid, but this is me and Sam combined. Stubborn and going with the flow. So it's gonna be a while I think"

"Alright, if you say so. Hey, I brought a DVD in case you were bored?" Sugar mumbled, taking out All Dogs go to heaven from her handbag "It's one of my favourites."

"I remember this one. There's the dog called Charlie isn't there?"

"Yeah. He gets hit by a car then goes back to earth thanks to a life watch."

"I remember watching it at school one time. It was the last day before summer and we were allowed to choose the class we went to according to the film. Each class showed a different movie and it was all set up so it was like a cinema. You could even buy a bag of popcorn and some soda for 2 dollars and it all went to a charity of some sort."

She suddenly stopped as she felt a pressure and a wetness in her pants.

"Oh boy...Sugar, could you um...go get the nurse or something? I think I may have wet myself..."

Sugar nodded understandingly and quickly dashed out, returning several moments later with a nurse in tow.

"Now Mrs Evans, from what I've been told, your waters may have broken."

"Mercedes or Cedes is just fine." Mercedes mumbled, cringing as a contraction started "Ooh"

"You having a contraction?"

She nodded frantically, clutching onto the metal bar. Fuck this hurt, she just needed Sam here. Sam...SAM! She broke down in tears as it ended, mainly because she needed Sam to be with her that exact moment.

Sam would hold her and tell her that he loved her in n'avi, Sam would do something totally stupid that would result in him being kicked out of the room and being made to sleep in the waiting room for the rest of the night.

"Mercedes? You alright?" Sugar asked "Come here" as she wrapped Mercedes in a hug, she had a few tears slip out of her cheeks "It's going to be alright...you'll see."

"I spy with my little eye..."

"Bed" Mercedes bluntly said, not even looking up from her book.

"I spy with my little eye..."

"Sugar, I know you're trying to help, but there's only so much to spy in a hospital room." Mercedes yawned, turning over and grabbing her old stuffed elephant whom she lovingly dubbed 'Peanut' and had owned him ever since she could remember.

Even though her water broke, she was progressing slowly. 10 hours and only 4 and a half centimetres. Her nurse, Nora, wasn't too concerned at the moment, but if she wasn't fully dilated within the next 9 hours she'd have to consider a c-section.

"I'd best be going. Rory has physio soon on his arm and I always go with him." Sugar explained standing up with some difficulty.

"Let me help." the nurse on duty who had introduced herself as Nora smiled reassuringly.

"Thanks." Sugar sighed gratefully, supporting her back.

"Anytime Sugar. Before I forget, your appointment's been changed again I'm afraid."

"Aren't there any earlier ones? We're really wanting to find out the genders as soon as we can."

"I'll just take a look."

As Nora led Sugar out the room, Mercedes groaned, grabbing the gas and air. Sure it made her feel sick but it sure as heck took the pressure of things.

As she had the nozzle in her mouth, Kurt and Dianne came into the room, laden with bags.

"Hey Mercy, I've brought your hospital bag. Don't worry, it's all packed and I've brought along some pyjamas to get changed in to. The shirt was the only one I could find that would be big enough and comfortable."

"Thanks Mom." Mercedes smiled, taking the clothes off Dianne and welling up as she spotted the shirt. It was Sam's favourite Star Wars t shirt. The same one he wore when he proposed. "Momma, I can't."

"I know Sam, he'd want you to have it. How you feeling?"

"Eh, been better." she frowned as she felt the start of yet another contraction, pressing the button on her iPhone that signalled the stopwatch.

"Contraction?" Kurt asked, edging forward.

"Mmhm."Mercedes whimpered,closing her eyes, making deep shushing noises "Mom, Mommy it hurts...it HUUUURRTTTSS!"

Dainne went over, and held her daughter's hand, stroking her hair "It's alright 'Cedes, it's alright"

"No, it's NOT alright! I need Sam but he isn't here is he? He died in a fuckin' car crash Mom! And it was all my fault! If I hadn't pressured him into going to work then he wouldn't have have crashed, he'd still be alive and Rory wouldn't have to resort in being Captain Hook every halloween!"

The machine that was hooked up to Mercedes' chest started beeping rapidly as she got more and more stressed.

"Mercedes, you need to calm down boo" Kurt suggested, giving her a hug "I know how much this hurts...I know." he began crying, silent tears running down his cheeks, like fresh rain on a car window "But, we'll get through this together, that I can promise."

"I just want this to be over Kurt...I'm so scared." Mercedes sobbed into his chest, making it damp with tears.

Kurt began to gently rock, rubbing his best friend's back and allowing her to cry. He started humming softly, kissing her head every so often, stroking her hair

"Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry"

Mercedes looked up and smiled weakly. Everything was going to be alright. She just hadn't realised it yet.
