Henry had been able to make a few phone calls while Elizabeth was laboring at home, before they made it to the hospital. He called Will first and he was able to take a few days to fly out to visit his sister. Henry also called his parents to inform them, his mother would not have missed this for anything in the world. They were sitting in the waiting room together, impatiently waiting the new baby's arrival. They didn't want to disturb the couple, they were understanding of the intimate moment that this was, but they wanted an update. Henry hadn't been out to update them in a while, though his mother and Will understood that he did not want to leave his wife's side for anything. In a way it was sweet, in another, they wanted info on when the baby would arrive.

As restless as their family was in the waiting room, Henry and Elizabeth were experiencing it on a grander scale. Henry was by her side, holding her hand, telling her how great she was doing, how beautiful she was and comforting her that it was almost over. She didn't even care that he was full of shit, it was nice to hear when she felt so terrible.

She was sweaty, she hurt all over, even with the drugs, she was exhausted, she couldn't move. God why did women do this, she thought to herself through this process. Henry was with her through every step of the way and she realized that she wouldn't be able to do this without him.

"Almost there babe, you got this beautiful", he whispered in her ear. He placed a cold cloth on her forehead and another on the back of her neck, holding her other hand as she was contracting again.

Dr. Smith walked in to check on Elizabeth, ensuring that she was dilating.

"God please tell me it's time to push. I don't know how much longer I can do this" she told the doctor. Henry Gave her a kiss, his way of trying to convince her she could do this.

"Let me check your cervix and we'll go from there ok?" Doctor Smith told her. She understood very well what Elizabeth was going through, she dealt with laboring women daily and she had done it a few times herself.

"You're about 9cm so it shouldn't be long now Elizabeth. It would be a good time to update your guests, they're getting a little restless out there" the doctor joked. "I'll be back soon to check you again, alright?"

Elizabeth gave her a nod of the head. "Thank you" Henry told her.

When the doctor left the room, Henry thought he should go see the family and give them an update, but he didn't want to leave Elizabeth at this point.

"It's fine Henry, go see them. They deserve an update."

"You sure babe? I don't care if we make them wait."

"Go, just make it quick, ok?" As she said this she was having another contraction and was gripping Henry's hand for dear life.

When the contraction passed, Henry went out to the waiting area and saw his parents and Will impatiently waiting.

As soon as they saw him they jumped up, thinking he had some good news to share. "SO!?" Will enthusiastically asked. Henry's mother chimed in, "how are mommy and baby?".

"No baby yet, Elizabeth is ok, but in pain, she just wants it to be over. She's about 9cm dilated so doctor says she should be ready to push soon" he informed them. They were a little disappointed, they had been there for several hours and they were thinking since they hadn't gotten an update in a few hours, Elizabeth had already had the baby and Henry was resting with them, though clearly this wasn't the case.

"That's my Lizzie, holding strong. Does she want to see anyone. I know I'm no you, but if you need a break…" Will trailed off. Henry was grateful for the offer, but he wouldn't be leaving his wife's side. "She's the strongest woman I know, and she is doing good but I don't think she's up for anyone around, but I'll ask her" Henry told him, knowing full well she would want nothing to do with her brother right now. "No, no, it's fine. I'll see her after, now get back in there before she loses her mind" he said while giving Henry a brotherly hug. Henry kissed his mother and shook his father's hand. The next time he would be seeing them, he was going to be a father.

When Henry walked back into Elizabeth's room, the doctor was back and Elizabeth was freaking out. "Henry, I swear to God. What the hell took you so long!?" she yelled through a contraction. He had done it now. He made his way to the side of her bad, taking her hand and giving her a kiss on the head, I'm sorry baby, everyone had a bunch of questions. They all send their love and they can't wait to meet our baby girl" he said with a smile.

"You're at 10cm Elizabeth, you ready to go?" the doctor chimed in.

She thought she was going to cry tears of joy, finally the time had come.

Elizabeth gave a few pushes but they weren't cutting it, Dr. Smith had suggested that Henry get in bed with Elizabeth to help support her, so he did.

Henry helped Elizabeth sit up right in the bed and he hopped on and slid behind her, pulling her back to lean against his chest. He took her hands in his and tucked his head in the crook of her neck. He whispered words of encouragement in her ear while Dr. Smith was telling her to push. With Henry bracing her, it didn't take long, a few big pushes, suddenly the pressure eased and she fell back on Henry, taking a few breaths. She was looking over at Dr. Smith and she was wondering why her baby wasn't crying but before she could verbalize her thoughts, they heard the tiny screams. Dr. Smith laid the baby down in Elizabeth's arms.

The married couple couldn't keep their eyes off the beautiful baby girl Elizabeth was holding, tears streaming down their faces.

"You did so good babe. She's beautiful", Henry whispered. Elizabeth couldn't form words, she just kept crying and staring down at her new baby. Suddenly, all the stress, the pain and the discomfort all went away, like nothing had every happened. She had never been so content than at this moment. Her husband holding her and both of them fawning over their new baby.

"I don't mean to interrupt the new family, but I should get her cleaned up. I promise I'll give her back alright?" said Dr. Smith.

Elizabeth wasn't quite ready to let her go just yet, she had just gotten here, she didn't want her to go away but she gave the doctor a nod. Dr. Smith took the baby and cleaned her up at the other side of the room, Henry was still holding Elizabeth and she wouldn't change it for the world.

"Henry… we have a baby" she said, just barely audible.

"I know babe. You're amazing sweetheart. I Love you.", he still had tears in his eyes. "I'm so proud of you." At this point, Dr. Smith returned with their daughter and handed her to her mother. She held her tightly in her arms with Henry fawning from behind. "I love you too" she quietly said, staring down at her new born baby.

"How are you feeling Elizabeth?" Dr. Smith inquired.

"Tired, but mostly I'm feeling euphoric joy" she told her.

"That's good, you should try to get some rest when you can" the doctor advised. "We'll be back to check on you and the baby so just take some time to relax."

Henry held his girls and he couldn't believe how lucky he was. He thought that he must have been the luckiest man in the world to be blessed with both his wife and his daughter. His mind was racing as he was staring down at his daughter. Elizabeth was in her mind as well, thinking how amazing her daughter was and she was only a few minutes old.
