Chapter 57.-Meeting Rayne-FINAL CHAPTER!

Zoë pulled out an oil covered white mass. All newborn cars are born white, and in a few weeks' time, their true and natural paint job would fade in. The baby was the normal size of a newborn. The newborn was a little ball of dripping wetness, she heaved a few choking coughs then started to scream. Zoë laid the baby on Sally's undercarriage and quickly examined her as the baby continued to cry very loudly. "She's breathing fine." Zoë said over the crying newborn "Airways are clear, "You two have yourselves a beautiful baby girl. Quite healthy, strong, and very, very loud." "Can… can I hold her…please?" Lightning asked gently. Zoë smiled a smile "She's your daughter… of course you can." Zoë carefully transported the bundle to Lightning's hood. The baby stopped crying for a moment and stared at the big red thing she was lying on. Lightning gently took to baby over Sally so she could see her. Zoë noted the time 344 a.m. Zoë set about extracting the after birth that was still in Sally's birth canal, encouraging her push. As Sally was focused on her baby she still did as she was told. Delivering the afterbirth was not painful as the infant was, but it wasn't comfortable either. It felt more like a large glob sliding effortlessly out of her. Months ago, she asked Jackie to save it for her after she and Flo came across an interesting website, so Jackie honored her wish. Jackie placed the afterbirth in a large zip lock back and into a freezer to give to Sally later. Sally didn't tell Lightning she was saving it, she was planning to gross him out with it, then have it bronzed.

A girl, a baby girl? Lightning stood there looking at the little breathing miracle sitting on his hood, only seeing tiny eyelids with immensely dark eyelashes' and a little curvy hood. Jackie finished cleaning the baby off. "She's gonna be a spunky one like her Momma" Zoë said. The racecar looked at the baby. Their baby was white and her metal was still soft, but she had little twinges of purple starting to set in around her fenders and windows, a perfect mix of her parent's colors. She was also a mix of her parent's vehicle types. Lightning thought the baby looked perfect and imagined all the things they would do together as a family. Sally was completely spent and weeping as she saw her for the first time. "It's for the best if the baby nurses now" Zoë said. Just on cue the baby let out a strangled cry, then immediately began groping blindly for nourishment with her tiny front rims. Zoë placed the newborn on Sally's undercarriage and Lightning guided her mouth to the nipple. Sally felt the baby struggling to find her nipple. It's only instinct was to suck, yet all its tiny mouth could not find the nipple. Jackie gently forced the newborn to latch on, and wrapped her in a soft pink blanket as she hungrily nursed from Sally. "It's a very good sign that baby is hungry, it means she is healthy." as Zoë watched the newborn nurse. Lightning just sat there in awe of the fact that they had a baby. A perfect little baby.

A few minutes later: "She's so beautiful," Lightning grinned proudly and nuzzled Sally. As soon as the newborn was finished nursing, Zoë examined Sally. She found her exhausted, but fine. Sally was moved from the lift to a bed, where she could rest comfortably. "She's going to be just like her mother." Lightning said "I don't think so" Sally smiled. "She's going to be a daddy's girl. Take a look for yourself." Sally gently nudged her baby encouraging her to open her eyes. The baby whimpered softly and slowly opened her eyes. She looked blearily around, trying to focus on the larger forms around her. She turned her gaze to her parents showing her stunning bright blue eyes, inherited from Lightning. Sally giggled at how Lightning tilted his hood a bit to get a better look at the baby, as the baby was studying him studying him back. "Look at the color of her eyes, she's going to be a heartbreaker." Sally said "When she gets older." "She's never going to date" Lightning said. "If any boy want's to date her, I'll piss Frank the combine off, and let him take his wrath out in the boy." "I see the protective daddy syndrome is kicking in all ready" Jackie said. Lightning couldn't help but grin wider as he gently caressed his daughter with his tire, causing the newborn to fall back asleep. Sally smiled, "Do you have a name for her?" Jackie asked. "We need it for her records, no rush though."

Lightning looked at Sally who shook her front gently not to stir their newborn. "It's something that we never really discussed." She said. "We wanted to wait." "That's okay," Jackie smiled. "For now we'll put down 'Baby Girl McQueen'. Congratulations you two." She nodded to the new family and went to check on her other patients. Sally sighed contentedly as she leaned against Lightning. "She's right you know," She said. "We really do need to name her." They decided to call her Rayne after Sally's Grandmother and Lightning's Great Grandmother. As a honor to her husband, who was named after the great Scottish bear king, Rayne's middle name was Meredith, which was the king's daughter. Rayne, was staring to fuss. Jackie returned to see what Rayne was complaining about. "Rayne's hungry, she needs to nurse" she said. Newborns need to nurse a every few hours. Sally got into a position so Rayne could nurse easily. Soon Sally noticed that Rayne stopped nursing. Rayne had fallen asleep with her nipple in her mouth. Sally gently dislodged herself from Rayne and put her back into her crib.

A few hours later: Lightning was rocking Rayne on his hood. The tiny car yawned and blinked her eyes open again. Rayne looked over at her mother who had dosed off and was quietly resting. Lightning's attention quickly went back to Rayne when he felt her move. She looked all around learning her new surroundings. Lightning chuckled when the baby gave a small sneeze and gasped in surprise that the sound came from her. "Bless you." Lightning chuckled. Rayne looked directly at him and cooed. Rayne then let out a small whimper. The next thing he noticed was something warm and wet running down his hood. It took a few moments to realize that Rayne just peed on him. "Welcome to fatherhood" Sally said. She had just woken up and witnessed the whole thing. "I take it that you haven't changed Rayne's diaper in a while?" Sally asked. When Sally picked Rayne up her diaper was soaked to the point that it was dripping. "Uh, no, I…uh… don't know how." Lightning confessed. "Stickers, go clean yourself up. When you come back I'll show you." Lightning headed to the bathroom to clean himself up. When he returned, Sally had Rayne on the changing table. Sally showed him change Rayne's diaper and then backed off and let Lightning try. He fumbled though it and finally on the third try got the diaper on. Sally picked her up and put her back on Lightning's hood. Rayne yawned hugely. Comfortable now she brought her wheels under her, and snuggled into her father's warm hood. She fell into deep sleep and softly began to snore. "Wow, she snores just like you do." Sally said. "I don't snore" Lightning protested. "Oh yes you do," Sally said in a singsong way. "Especially after a tough race and you are extremely tired. You snore hard enough to shake the bed."

Sally groaned when her lower half cramped terribly with something she likened to a menstrual cramp. Quite literally, she was having the menstrual cycle from hell right now. So much so that she had been lying on top of a large absorbent maternity pad used just for this reason. According Zoë and the nurses, Sally would have to put up with this mother period for at least week. A post-delivery period was much heavier. After all she carried around a baby for nine months, then she had to push a baby out of her. So there was bound to be some major 'cycling' going on. Sally felt another sharp cramp and groaned slightly. She had been told to expect it as it was her womb gradually constricting down to its normal size. When she was breastfeeding Rayne she would suddenly feel a sharp 'contraction' in conjunction with it. Something about a nursing newborn stimulating the mother's womb to constrict, it was a hormone thing Hunter told her. Zoë told her the same thing. They all declared breast feeding as best because, it would help her heal faster, and it is also the best thing for Rayne.

Jackie came in was shocked to see Sally out of bed. She strongly recommend that Sally stay in bed, she just has given birth and was to weak to be up and around. She can get up and start moving around tomorrow. Sally reversed back into a comfortable spot on her hospital bed. Sally gave a tired yawn and her eyes were half shut as she looked at Lightning and the baby. "Could you call my parents and tell them that they are officially grandparents." Sally asked "I've already called them along with my parents. They are all extremely happy for us, my parents said that they could be here later this morning. Your parents however are in India and won't be back until late in the week. Lightning said. "Sorry, Lightning, you need to let the girls rest for now. You can show off Rayne off when your parents get here" Jackie said as she looked at the new father and his newborn. Lightning frowned "But I can stay here with them, right?" Lightning asked in a panic. He just met his daughter and he was already attached. The thought of leaving Sally and the baby brought a chill to his core. Jackie smiled and nodded. "Yeah you can stay here. I wouldn't expect anything less." She said and put Rayne in a crib next to her parents. Lightning drove up and reversed himself next to Sally. She gave him a tired smile, yawned, snuggled in to his fender and slowly went to sleep. Her sides were still distended from her term. It would be a while before she would decompress. Lightning kissed Sally's fender and looked over at his daughter. "Sleep well my beautiful girls" Lightning said quietly as he nuzzled Sally lovingly. Soon he was a sleep as well.
