Jolex 82 -

Based on the sentence:

'' OH MY GOD I'M GOING INTO LABOR- WHAT DO WE DO NOW?!'

Jo Wilson huffed and puffed as she slowly made her way up the stairs to the Paeds floor. The elevator seemed to be taking ages to reach the ground floor , and she just couldn't wait any longer for it. So here she was, climbing 5 flights of stairs. At almost 9 months pregnant, her huge rounded belly was making it so difficult for her to move around. She had just assessed a patient in the ER who came in with a femur fracture and admitted the patient, and now she had to go up to the Paeds floor to do a postop review for a child who had a plate inserted due to a supracondylar fracture after a fall in the playground.

She finally reached the child's room, gasping for breath.

' Hey Dr. Wilson' 8 year old Jaden waved at her. ' You ok? You look like you just ran a marathon or something'

' Yea- I was using the stairs' Jo replied once she had regained her breath. ' How are you feeling? Still having some pain?'

' Yes but less'

' On a scale of 1 to 10 how painful is your arm now? 1 - no pain, 10 very painful?' Jo asked as she meticulously checked his arm cast.

Jaden paused and put his finger below his chin as if deep in thought.

' A 4 maybe' he grinned.

Jo grinned back. She loved this child, even when in pain he seemed so cheerful.

' Dr Wilson - look who is here!' He suddenly exclaimed excitedly.'

Jo turned around to see Alex walking into the room towards them.

' Hey Dr Karev' Jaden waved at him.

' Hey Jaden, how you're doing today?'

' His vitals are stable, he's tolerally orally well and his pain score is 4' Jo updated him.

They both shared at smile that didn't go unnoticed by the perceptive 8 year old.

' You both know each other?' Jaden asked.

Alex turned to look at him. ' Yes, she's my girlfriend.'

Jaden looked down at Jo's swollen belly. ' Oh- so you're the baby's father.'

Jo blushed as Alex chuckled and replied. 'Yes, we've having a baby together.'

Jaden's eyes suddenly widened... ' Dr Wilson- you...wet yourself...'

Jo's eyes widened as she looked down at the floor to see herself standing in a pool of fluid.

' Oh crap' she muttered to herself, quickly pulling Alex out of the room.

Once they were back in the hallway, Jo looked at Alex with panicking eyes.

' My water broke...'

Just then, a strong contraction ripped over her and she doubled over in pain.

'' OH MY GOD I'M GOING INTO LABOR- WHAT DO WE DO NOW?!' Jo screamed through the pain, not bothered about the fact that all the nurses sitting at the nurses's counter now had their attention on the both of them.

' Can someone get us a wheelchair please?!' Alex barked at the nurses, who were still staring at them. Finally one of the nurses moved to get the wheelchair.

' It's ok Jo - Alex rubbed her back soothingly. Calm down. I'm gonna wheel you down to the antenatal floor. We're going to have a baby today.'

Her contraction ending, Jo looked up and smiled at him...' We're having a baby today.'

10 hours later- Jo and Alex were staring at the bundle of blue in her arms. The nurse had just weighed him and assessed his APGAR score under Alex's watchful eyes...he was 3.2 kg and had perfect APGAR.

' Isn't he perfect?' Jo looked up at Alex smiling. ' I was afraid of being a mom at first, but now looking at him, it's the most beautiful feeling of all.'

' Yes he is' Alex kissed the top of her forehead.

' I think he looks like you.'

Jo shook her head. ' No he looks like you.'

Chuckling, Alex studied their son again, soaking in all his features, his perfect button like nose, his chubby cheeks.

' I think he looks like a perfect combination of us both.'

' I think so too.' Jo leaned back on his arm.

' We don't have a name for him yet' Jo said suddenly, looking up at Alex.

They had discussed names during the pregnancy, but somehow they always ended up arguing and could never come up with a suitable name for him.

' How about Jaden' Alex suggested suddenly.

' Jaden? After our patient?' Jo asked. ' I actually think that's a great name' she grinned.

' Yeah, why not? I like him, you like him' Alex grinned back. ' By the way Callie told me she is going to discharge him today. I'll tell her to bring him up here first to see little Jaden.'

Jo looked back down to the bundle in her arms.

' Welcome to the world little Jaden' she whispered. Now that she is a mother, she vowed to herself to be the best mother she could be.
