Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night
Chapter 75 - Welcome To The World
Desiree's POV
The day has finally arrived and Spence and I can't wait to meet our baby, as I lay here listening to the swooshing sound that is our little ones heartbeat as it fills the room I can relax and try to focus on what is to come I can no longer feel the contractions due to the spinal block I have, I opted to have the spinal block only because the contractions were really intense there is a knock at the door and then the door opens and the doctor comes in and says "I just came in to check your progress and see how everything is going" I nod and say "that is fine doctor, I can't really feel much of what is going on."
After the doctor has finished checking me over she says "so Miss Morgan you are making great progress at the moment you are 8 cm dilated, 100% effaced which means that with in the next 30 minutes to an hour you should be ready to deliver" I smile and say "thank you doctor" I noticed Penelope had pull out her cell phone and dialed Derek's number and when he answers she says "how far away are you handsome" I can't hear his reply but Penelope then says "well if you don't hurry up and get here then our boy genius will miss the whole event" I put my hand out for Pen's phone and she hands it to me and I say "now listen here big brother if you don't get my fiancee here soon I will hurt you, do you understand me, flick the lights and sirens on if you have to but just get him here, the doctor just told me that I will be ready to have this baby within the next 30 minutes to an hour goodbye brother."
Twenty minutes have gone by and I am getting anxious because Spence is still not here and just as I am about to ask Pen for her phone the door opens and Spence walks into the room closely followed by Derek, Spence leans down and kisses me gently before pulling away and I turn to Derek and say "you are so lucky big brother I had all sorts of ideas running through my head on how I was going to hurt you if Spence missed this" Derek laughs and says "you and what army were going to hurt me kiddo because from where I am standing you have no chance at the moment" I stick my tongue out at him, we are interrupted by a knock at the door the door opens and the doctor enters the room.
Derek and Penelope leave the room so that it is just Spence and I with the doctor, the doctor lift the bottom of the sheet so that she can check me and she looks down and says "Miss Morgan did you realize that your baby is starting to crown" I look at her with wide eyes and say "no I can't feel anything down there" the doctor says "that is ok I would like you to take a few breaths for me while I get a gown on and get another nurse in here to help and then we will get this little one delivered since he/she is so determined to meet the world all ready" she gets her gown on and goes to the door and says "can I get a nurse in here please."
Reid's POV
We have just finished the case we were working on when Desi calls me and tells me that she is on the way to the hospital, she drops her phone and Penelope picks it up and for the first time in my life I am speechless I hear Penelope say "reach the phone to Derek" so I pass the phone to Derek and he take charge of the situation he grabs a set of keys for one of the SUV's and guides me out to the car and I manage to get in the passenger seat and get my seatbelt buckled before Derek pulls out of the car space and takes off, just because have somewhere to be we cop every red light and every person who wishes to drive slowly and even though we have out red and blue lights on no-one is moving we are now about 25 minutes from the hospital when Derek's cell phone rings he answers and puts it on speaker so that I can hear what is going on, I hear Penelope say "how far away are you handsome" and he says "we are 25 minutes out baby" Penelope then says "well if you don't hurry up and get here our boy genius will miss the whole event."
The next thing I hear is Desi's voice as she says "now listen here big brother if you don't get my fiancee here soon I will hurt you, do you understand me, flick the lights and sirens on if you have to but just get him here, the doctor just told me that I will be ready to have this baby within the next 30 minutes to an hour goodbye brother" I can't help but chuckle and think that my life would not be where it is right now without Desi and she just ripped her brother a new one.
We finally arrive at the hospital and I get out of the car and run for the entrance not bothering with the elevator I take the stairs two at a time to get to the maternity ward and when I get there I ask a nurse "can you help me find my fiancee her name is Desiree Morgan" she smiles and says "right this way she has been eagerly awaiting your presence" we begin walking to her door and I notice that Derek is now behind me and we enter the room and I go straight to Desi and lean down to kiss her gently before pulling away and she says "you are so lucky big brother I had all sorts of ideas running through my head on how I was going to hurt you if Spence missed this" Derek laughs and says "you and what army were going to hurt me kiddo because from where I am standing you have no chance at the moment" she sticks her tongue out at him, we are interrupted by a knock at the door the door opens and the doctor enters the room.
Derek and Penelope leave the room so that it is just Desi and I with the doctor, the doctor lift the bottom of the sheet so that she can check her and she looks down and says "Miss Morgan did you realize that your baby is starting to crown" Desi looks at her with wide eyes and says "no I can't feel anything down there" the doctor says "that is ok I would like you to take a few breaths for me while I get a gown on and get another nurse in here to help and then we will get this little one delivered since he/she is so determined to meet the world all ready" she gets her gown on and goes to the door and says "can I get a nurse in here please."
Desiree's POV
I am so glad that Spence got here just in time as our baby is only minutes away from being born, the doctor told me to push so I began pushing and after 5 minutes the baby's head is out and then after another 5 minutes our baby is finally here, I hear a cry coming from the other end of bed and the doctor says "would you like to cut the cord" I see Spence take the scissors and cut between the two clamps and then our baby is placed on my chest and I ask "is my baby a boy or a girl" a nurse comes over and says "congratulations you have a little boy" as she begins cleaning him off.
Once we are both cleaned up and the doctor and the nurse left the room Spence went out and invited everyone in to meet the newest edition to the family, a few minutes later Spence and the whole family walked into my hospital room and the first person who approaches me is Mamma she leans down and kisses my forehead and says "I am so proud of you baby, your son is absolutely gorgeous now tell us what his name is" I smile and say "I would like to you all to meet Matthew Hunter Reid he weighs 6 lbs exactly and Spence and I are extremely happy.
So here before my eyes stands my now very large family I have been taken into this group of co-workers who called themselves a family, I have my Mamma and my big brother but now I also have non-related siblings and I have all my nieces and nephews but the best thing to come out of all of this is that I have found my soul mate and together we have created life.
