Hey guys, this chapter came to me while I had some spare time so I thought I would get it up, although I now have a mirgrane from writing it just after writing a new chapter for Changed Fate.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, there's not much action in it, but there is a little drama.

Growing Up Troubles

Chapter 9

Wyatt drove as fast but as safely as he could to the hospital. This was not how he planned his day to turn out, what was bad enough was he was trusting his eldest daughter to do as she was told. Maybe for one in her life she would, but he still worried.

Deciding that he did not quite trust her, he pulled out his cell phone from his pocket as he stopped at some traffic lights.

"What are you doing?" Holly's voice came from the car, reminding Wyatt that he had his pregnant cousin there with him.

"Calling Chris," Wyatt sighed, "Letting him know what's going on."

As the lights turned green, Wyatt put his foot down on the gas while dialling Chris' number, hopefully he would be able to pick up.

"Hello?" his husband's voice came through the phone, "Wyatt, what's up?"

"Holly's gone into labour," Wyatt went straight to the point, "I've left Lizzie at home with Ben, can you get to her?"

"Sure, I'll be five minutes, why do you sound so panicked?"

"I'll tell you about it when I see you," Wyatt sighed, "Love you."

With that, Wyatt hung up the call and pulled into the hospital parking lot. His mind went into autopilot as he helped Holly from the car and into the hospital. He may have not been there when Caitlin went into labour with Elizabeth, but he was there when his eldest cousin Patty had gone into labour so he had an idea of what he needed to do for Holly until Speedy made it to the hospital.

As soon as Chris hung up the call, he made his way out of his office, not stopping to answer any questions. There was a reason Wyatt sounded panicked on the phone and not all of it was because Holly was in labour. Something told him that Lizzie had gotten herself into trouble again. He knew he would find out as soon as he got home.

Lizzie did as she was told and called Speedy, telling him that his wife had just gone into labour and to get to the hospital. Now she was left babysitting a four-year-old. She had no idea what to do, she had never been left with babysitting duty, that was Jennifer's job. Right now she wish that she had not been suspended, that way she would not have to do this.

Hearing footsteps coming down the stairs, Elizabeth looked in the direction of where the four-year-old boy was coming down the stairs.

"Where's mommy?"

"Erm, my dad's just had to take her to the hospital."

"Why?" Ben looked at the 16-year-old worried about his mommy, tears already threatening to fall down his cheeks.

"Hey, it's ok," Lizzie crouched down to his level, realising that what she said was not good, "Your mommy's going to have the baby."

"Oh," Ben stopped the tears from falling and looked at Elizabeth, his head tilted to one side, "Can I go?"

"Not yet, we're staying here until we're told we can go."

A frown appeared on the four-year-old's soft face, he did not like that answer.

"But I wanna see mommy," he pouted, hoping that that would do the trick and Lizzie would let him go, "I wanna see my mommy."

"I'm sorry, honey," Lizzie shook her head, "Neither of us are allowed to go. Why don't you make her a picture or something?"

Ben sighed by nodded his head anyway and followed the 16-year-old to the dining table where she got some paper and crayons for the four-year-old. Maybe it would not be as hard as she expected.

Speedy ran through the parking lot of the hospital, getting there as fast as he could after he heard his Goddaughter's voice on the other end of the phone.

Making his way into the waiting room, he glanced around but Wyatt was not there. Where could he be?

He made his way over to the reception desk, maybe there was another waiting room, Speedy did not know, he hated hospitals. The only times he had set foot in one was when Ben was born and right now.

"Holly Speed?" he asked the receptionist, who looked up at him from her computer, take a sip of her coffee, "She's having a baby."

"Oh right, give me two seconds," the receptionist smiled at Frank and then clicked a few buttons on the computer before finding out the room that Holly was in, "Oh, she's in surgery at the moment…"

"What!"

"Her cousin was around here somewhere."

It was just then that Wyatt made himself known as he walked back to the waiting room with a cup of coffee.

"Speedy!" Wyatt called out and motioned for his friend to come to him.

"What's going on, Wy?" Frank asked, panicky as he found out that maybe the birth of his second child wasn't going to be as smooth sailing as his first, "Why is Hol in surgery?"

"Don't panic too much, ok," Wyatt said, trying to stay calm himself, "There's been a problem."

"What is it?"

"The cord is wrapped around the baby's neck and the baby started panicking," Wyatt explained to his friend, who was now getting paler by the second. The Halliwell helped Speedy to sit down before continuing, "Both of them are going to be ok, they just need to do a C-section rather than you know…"

Speedy laughed slightly at the way Wyatt trailed off with a disgusted look on his face, and it helped him breathe a little easier.

"They're definitely going to be ok?"

"Sure." Wyatt nodded, although he was not too sure himself, it all depended if they could stop the baby from panicking and keep her breathing.

Chris ran through the front door of his house to find things quiet. A little too quiet when there was a four-year-old and a troublesome 16-year-old somewhere in the house. At least he hoped they were in the house.

"Lizzie?" Chris called out, walking towards the dining room, "Ben?"

When he saw papers and crayons all over the dining table, he realised that they should be somewhere around, since this was clear when he left for work.

"Lizzie?" he called out again, now making his way up the stairs. Hearing sounds coming from Scott's room, he opened the door to see something he never expected. Lizzie and Ben playing on the games console that Chris and Wyatt had bought Scott for his eighth birthday, "There you are."

"Oh, hey Chris," Lizzie looked up from the game just at the time that Ben won the game, "Ben got bored with drawing pictures so I thought we'd play on this."

Chris simply nodded his head, silently proud that the 16-year-old had managed to not get herself in trouble and could be trusted.

"We've got to get to the hospital," Chris smiled at the two, "Your dad just called again."

"Oh, how's Holly?"

"I'll explain to you in the car, grab Ben and come on."

"Are we going to see mommy?" Ben asked as Lizzie helped put his jacket on.

"Yeah, we're going to see your mommy."

Ben's face lit up like a light bulb with the biggest smile Lizzie had ever seen and she had to admit that it was sweet, and definitely worth being on the receiving end of the smile. Mind you, she also had to admit that the proud look in Chris' eyes when he realised she had stayed out of trouble while looking after Ben felt good too.

so what do you think? let me know by reviewing.
