Tess lets out another groan of pain as her labour continues into the late hours of the night "Nick I just want it out!"

Nick nods as she holds a tight grip on his hand "I know beautiful and pudge will be soon."

Tess glances at him with a small smirk as her contraction ends "I love you so much."

Nick nods "I love you too."

Tess sighs as another rush of pain enters her belly "Come on Tess push."

Nick holds back his tears as he watches his girlfriend go through agonising pain all because of him "Come on beautiful you can do this."

The Doctor smiles as Tess' contraction by passes "Tess all we need is one last push."

She nods relaxing back on the bed as Nick wipes away her sweat and tears as she turns her glance to the opening door "Claire?"

Claire smiles "Hello."

Tess smiles "What are you doing here?"

Claire smiles "My sisters having her baby."

Tess smiles "What about Alex and Charlotte?"

Claire smiles "Their at your apartment with Bree."

Tess nods giving one last push before her baby pops out she sighs to the small cry that is heard "Congratulations Miss McLeod you have a little girl."

Tess smiles looking at her little girl before they rush off to weigh and measure her "Mr Ryan would you like to cut the cord?"

Tess nods as him as he rises from his seat cutting the small cord that was attached to his daughter Tess smiles as they hand her, her baby now wrapped up in a small cotton hospital blanket "Hey my little princess."

Nick smirks placing a kiss on Tess' forehead "It's our baby."

Tess nods glancing at the time as 12:05am ticked over on the clock "Happy Birthday Nick."

Nick smiles placing a kiss on her lips "Best birthday present by far."

Tess nods wiping away the tears that trickle from Nicks eyes "Aww gorgeous it's ok."

Nick nods taking his daughters tiny hand into his own as she takes his finger with a tight grip "She's just so beautiful."

Tess nods turning her attention to the nurse "Did you want to try and feed her?"

Tess nods sitting up a little in the bed as the nurses fuss around her and their daughter.

Nick smiles tacking his little baby from the plastic crib as she lets out a small grizzle "Hey my little princess, it's ok, now there will be no boys with tattoos or long hair you got that and you bring one home I'll stick a padlock in his stretches, now a nice country boy with small town morals will be nice, but my little one you're lucky enough to have your beautiful Mummy to coach you through life and help you make all the right decisions."

Nick smiles rubbing a hand over her small mop of hair to her lovely soft skin she was perfect in every way "And I don't care if you want to be a ballerina or a soccer girl, you'll always be my little princess."

Tess smiles opening her eyes to the small cry pudge lets out "I think she already has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger."

Nick smirks handing pudge to Tess for a feed "So what are we naming this one?"

Tess smiles as her baby latches on "Louise, Louise Ruth Ryan."

Nick smiles "Perfect, you know she's the best birthday present."

Tess smiles "That reminds me, open my bag."

He nods opening the bag to display a nicely wrapped box with a small card attached he smiles opening the small gift to display a lovely silver watch "Ah Tess."

Tess swallows a lump "Do you not like it?"

Nick smiles placing a kiss on her lips "No, I love it."

Tess smiles as his takes his phone from his pocket "Hello."

He smiles to the familiar female voice "Hey Mum."

Liz smirks "Hello my darling, happy birthday."

Nick smiles "Thanks Mum."

Liz smiles "How's young Tess?"

Nick nods "She good, you have a little granddaughter Mum, Louise Ruth Ryan."

Liz smiles "Really wow, congratulations son, when was she born?"

Nick smiles "Five past 12 this morning."

Liz smiles "Well I better let you get back to it son, give Tess and Lou all my love."

Nick nods hanging up his phone as Tess smirks "I'm feeling a little bit hungry."

Nick nods heading off to find Tess a feed.
