A few weeks later, Tom and the Evans family were sitting at the table in the kitchen, they were having hamburgers for dinner, which had quite an effect on Molly's stomach.
Molly was nine months pregnant and it was her due date, she had been experiencing stomach aches in the afternoon, she was sure it was just stomach aches, she couldn't be having contractions, could she?
As Molly stood up to put her plate in the sink, she felt liquid run down her legs, she knew it, her water had broken and the baby was coming, she was, in fact, in labor.
"OW!" Molly yelped as she clutched her stomach with both hands, Tom, Adam, Faith, Daniel, Georgia, Quinn and Sam looked at her with worried looks in their eyes.
"What is it, Molly?" asked Tom as he looked at Molly.
"My water's broken" Molly managed to whimper through the horrible pain of the contraction.
"Okay Molly, breathe" said Sam as he reached for his cell phone and called an ambulance.

When the ambulance arrived, the paramedics helped Molly lie down on the gurney and wheeled her to the awaiting ambulance and sped off to the hospital.
The staff at Rainbow Babies and Children's hospital had dealt with many teenage pregnancy cases in the passed ten years, everyday they would deal with a lot of girls under twenty giving birth, Molly was not the first and most definately wouldn't be the last.
After getting changed into a hospital gown and getting into the bed, a nurse hooked Molly up to a machine to hear the baby's heartbeat and a contraction monitor.
Molly's POV
I've been in labour for two hours now, the contractions are getting closer but not close enough for me to get an epidural.
Giving birth HURTS! Why can't the boys do this?
I'm dialated 2cm so far and it's getting annoying to wait, mom says that labour can take up to TWO days or even three!
4cm
I'm dialated 4cm now and I just want her OUT!
I really want to start pushing now but my doctor says I'm not dialated enough, I don't know what I'm going to do with her, maybe give her up for adoption or keep her? I'll decide later... OW! There's another stupid contraction.
5cm
I'm at my half way point and I've asked the doctor to give me that epidural because the contractions are getting too strong and freaking painful!
Tom's squeezing my hand while the needle's going into my back.
8cm
Almost there! Only 2cm to go!
I can't believe this, eight hours of labour and it's nearly over, thank goodness!
9cm
Nearly there! Only 1cm to go and it's almost time for my daughter to be born!
9 1/2cm
That half is keeping me from pushing this baby out of me! The epidural's worn off so the pain of the contractions is back.
10cm
This is it, it's time!

"I need to push!" Molly screamed as she felt pressure build up in her cervix as a nurse placed a blue sheet over her stomach.
"Okay Molly, on the count of three, I want you to push as hard as you can" said Emily as she positioned herself between Molly's legs to catch the baby. "1, 2, 3... PUSH!"
Molly started to push with all her might but nothing was happening.
"Molly, you're gonna have to push harder!" said Emily as Molly collapsed against Tom's shoulder.
"I can't!" said Molly, starting to cry in pain.
"You can do this, babe! I know you can" said Tom as he squeezed Molly's hand reassuringly.

After four more rounds of pushing, the baby girl fell into Emily's cupped hands and let out a loud cry, Emily took her away to get her cleaned and warmed up before returning and placing her in Molly's arms.
"Do we have a name for this little angel?" asked Emily as Molly nodded.
"Ariana" said Molly as she looked at her daughter, who she would soon be giving to Santana and Brittany.

After Molly had been in recovery for twenty minutes, Tom, Santana and Brittany and Molly's family walked into the room, Molly was holding a sleeping Ariana in her arms and Santana coldn't help but fall in love with this baby.
"Molly, she's beautiful!" said Santana as Molly beamed at her.
"She is beautiful and she's yours" said Molly as Santana's eyes widened in complete shock.
"What?" asked Brittany, shocked.
"I realised that I couldn't keep her and I thought that you two would make the best mommies for her" said Molly as she gently passed Ariana into Brittany's awaiting arms.
"The adoption papers are ready" said Emily as she walked into the room, Brittany and Santana signed the adoption papers and after a few weeks, Molly helped them take their new daughter home.
"We'll send you pictures of Ariana" said Santana as she laid Ariana down into her new crib.
"Here are all of the baby things" said Molly as she handed the bag to Brittany before heading home to her house.
