A/N: Thank you everyone for your reviews, follows, and favorites I love you all! I have recently gotten some rather mean reviews and PM'S about how long it takes me to update. I'm not naming names or anything or trying to start drama but I know that it takes me a while to update so please stop with the snarky comments. I already feel guilty about not being able to update as much as I like but that is out of my control. I'm doing the best that I can. So please stop. Anyway here is chapter 55 enjoy!

Chapter 55: Labor Pains
My due date has passed and I was a week overdue with my pregnancy. I'd had some contractions lately but they have all turned out to be false alarms.
"Hey", Richard says as he walks into his room with a tray of food, "How are you feeling?" he asks.
"Tired, hungry, bloated, agitated", I say and sit up in bed.
"So nothing out of the ordinary", Richard teases.
I smile a bit, "I'm just ready for the baby already"; I say and rub my belly.
"Me too", Richard says.
I sigh, "The doctor says if I don't go into labor by next week they will do a labor induction", I say.
Richard reaches for my hand, "Let's hope they baby comes before then", he says.
"I hope so", I say and continue eating.
"Since you've been a little down lately, I have something to cheer you up", Richard says.
"A time machine?" I ask.
"No, even better", he says.
"THE PARTY HAS ARRIVED!" Gar yells as he walks in through the door.
"Gar!" I yell, "I'm so happy to see you", I say.
"I thought inviting him here might cheer you up a bit", Richard says.
"Of course it will cheer her up, who wouldn't be happy to see me", Gar says and Richard rolls his eyes.
"I'm going to work", he says and kisses my cheek, "Call me if you need me", he says and gets up and leaves.
"Now that Mr. Boring is gone, we can do something fun", he says, "I have movies, video games, and junk food", he says.
I laugh, "Where should we start?" I ask.
After watching a couple of movies with Gar, I start feeling better.
"Now it's time for video games, guess which game I just bought?!" Gar asks.
"Hmm I'm guessing its mega monkeys 7 or something", I say.
"How'd you know?" Gar pouts.
I laugh, "Because you and Vic would play Mega Monkeys all the time in high school plus Rachel told me about how you still were your Mega Monkey underwear still", I say.
Gar blushes, "That was our secret!" Gar yells.
"Relax she only told me and I didn't tell anyone", I say and pick up the controller, "So do you want to play or are you afraid I'll kick your ass", I say.
"You're on Kori!" Gar says and picks up his controller.
Gar gets up and puts the game in the Xbox as I feel something trickle down my leg.
'huh that's weird', I think to myself as I notice the fluid that is now covering my dress as I look down something in my mind clicks.
"Oh my gosh, my water broke!" I yell.
"It's cool Kori, I'm sure there's more in the fridge", Gar says.
I shake my head in frustration, "I meant as in I'm in labor, the baby is coming", I say.
Gar's eyes widen, "The baby is coming!" he yells and starts pacing around the room.
"The baby is coming! The baby is coming!" Gar yells as he starts freaking out.
I get up as fast as I can and walk over and grab his shoulders, "GAR PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!" I yell as I suddenly feel contractions.
Gar freezes in his tracks, "Sorry," he says.
"It's ok", I say and clutch my stomach in pain as I feel another contraction.
"We need to get you to the hospital now", he says and wings my arm around his shoulder and as we head downstairs.
"I need to call Richard", I say.
"You can do that once we get in the car", Gar says as we reach the front door.
We walk down the steps and toward Gar's car and he opens the passenger door and helps me inside.
"Here use my phone", he says and hands it to me before he shuts the door and runs over to the driver's side.
I quickly dial Richard number, "What is it Gar?" Richard answers.
"Richard's it's me, I'm in labor", I say.
"What! Are you sure?" he asks.
I let out another scream as I feel another contraction, I start using some Lamaze breathing to help with the pain.
"Does that answer your question?" I ask.
"I'm leaving the office now, where are you?" he asks.
"Gar is taking me to the hospital", I say.
"I'll meet you there… I love you", he says.
"I love you too", I say and hang up the phone.
"Hang on Kori, where almost there", Gar yells.
I send out a group message to the rest of my friends and family. We finally reach the hospital and Gar leaps out of the car and rushes inside as we reach the women's health part of Gotham Hospital.
The hospital staff rushes over and carefully places me in a wheelchair and wheels me to a delivery room.
"How fast are her contractions?" one of the doctors asks.
"About 10 minutes apart", I say, "Where's Richard?" I ask Gar.
"He's on his way Kori", he says, "How are you feeling?" He asks.
"I'm scared", I say.
Gar reaches for my hand, "It will be ok, I'll stay until Richard comes", he says.
"Thank you", I say
My contractions are getting closer and closer, I knew that I would have to start pushing soon.
"Kori!" Richard yells as he walks in the door.
"Richard, you're here", I say.
He rushes over and kisses my forehead, "Are you ok?" he asks.
"I'm fine, Gar has taken good care of me", I say.
"Thanks Gar", Richard says.
"No problem bro, I think I'll go wait outside till the baby gets here", Gar says as he leaves.
"I can't believe this is happening now", Richard says.
"Me too", I say, I feel another contraction and I grip onto the rails of the bed.
The nurse walks over and examines, "Your contractions are getting stronger, we need to get your midwife here right away", she says.
Another nurse makes Richard change into some scrubs as the midwife in.
"Your cervix is dilated about 7 centimeters, it's time for you to push", she says.
The nurses put me in a pushing position and Richard walks over and reaches for hand.
"I want you to follow my instructions closely", she says, "Ready... and push!" she yells.
I let out an ear-piercing scream and push with all my strength until the midwife tells me to stop. I repeat the process until the midwife starts again.
"Your almost there Kori", Richard says reassuringly.
"Just a couple more pushes Kori", the midwife says again.
I take a couple of deep breaths and push again. My body is tired but I refuse to give up.
"That's it Kori just one more push", the midwife says.
I regain my strength and push again.
"You did it Kori!" Richard yells as the cries of our daughter fills the room.
"I did it", I say as I catch my breath.
The nurse hands the baby to Richard, "She's beautiful"; Richard says and wipes away the tears in his eyes as he kisses her forehead.
"I want to hold her", I say and Richard carefully hands me our baby.
"She is", I say as I hold our daughter for the first time as I kiss her forehead as Richard wraps his arm around as we marvel over the new addition to our family.
