Dustin carried Audrey in bridal style while running as fast as possible to the ER. El and Mike ran ahead to check Audrey in. Nurses rushed her to the delivery area as she was breathing heavily. Dustin and El helped get Audrey on the hospital bed. Mike took a seat outside the room.
"El, can you get Mike to call mine and Dustin's parents?" Audrey yelled and El ran outside the room.
"Mike, can you call both of their parents and let them know what's happening?" El asked out of breath.
Mike replied, "I'm on it. Go back to Audrey." El ran back in.
Dustin sat on a chair next to the bed holding Audrey's hand as the doctors surrounded them. El took Audrey's other hand, and she smiled. So much was happening at once way too fast. The nurses checked the baby's heart rate, performed an ultrasound, and gave Audrey some painkillers within a few minutes.
"El, can you figure out what our parents said?" Audrey asked. She ran back out to Mike.
"Mike, what did they say?" El asked.
"Audrey's parents are on their way. They ran out to the car while they were on the phone with me. Dustin's mom is also on her way. She had to drop the cat off, but she is going to be here really soon." Mike explained. Audrey turned as soon as El ran back in for the news.
El said, "The parents are on their way now. Mike said they will be here as soon as possible."
"Oh thank goodness!" Audrey stated.
Dustin replied, "Calm down Audrey. Everything is fine. It's all going to be okay."
"I know Dustin! Say something funny or something. I'm calm! El can you have Mike get me a water please." Audrey screamed.
El told Mike to get her a water and rushed back to Audrey's side. Audrey cried in so much pain and squeezed Dustin and El's hands.
"I got it! Audrey I have a joke. What hurts more than childbirth?" Dustin asked.
Audrey answered, "Nothing."
"Singing "Wheels on the Bus" four hundred times in one day." Dustin stated.
"You know something about pain makes cheesy jokes funny." Audrey laughed as there was a knock at the door. Dustin opened the door and took Audrey's water from Mike.
"Let Mike come in here so he's not alone. He can stand up by El where he can't see anything anyway." Audrey yelled.
Dustin opened the door and said, "Audrey is requesting your company next to El. You won't be exposed to anything." Mike walked in with his eyes closed and Dustin guided him to El.
He stood next to El saying nothing out of a feeling of awkwardness. A doctor was examining to see how close Audrey was. She still had a while. There was three hours of bad jokes, boring conversations, and anxiousness until the doctor finally had good new.
"She's crowning!" The nurse yelled. It awoke all the half asleep teens in the room.
"Finally! It's almost here!" Dustin replied.
"Oh no! It's almost here. I'm going to have a baby!" Audrey yelled out in pain.
"Don't worry Audrey you are going to be an amazing mother. I just know it." El reassured her.
Mike whispered,"What is crowning?"
"It means they can see the baby's head." El whispered back.
"Really that's awesome." Mike whispered.
"I know right. I can't wait until that's me. El whispered back.
Mike said quietly, "Why? It seems painful."
El punched Mike softly, "The baby dork. I want my own so bad.
"Oh that makes more sense. It will come eventually just don't rush it. Enjoy the present before it becomes the past. The future will be the present before you know it." Mike whispered.
"I know. The future is just far away, so it's hard." El breathed rolling her eyes.
Dustin interrupted, "What are you two whispering about?"
Audrey butted in, "El is probably getting baby fever."
"You'd be right." El sighed.
Dustin tapped Mike with his elbow and whispered, "You hear that Mike. It's time to start thinking. You can do it man. It's time."
"Hey! What are you telling my boyfriend Dustin?!" El exclaimed.
"Chill El. Trust me. I'm doing you a favor." Dustin answered.
"Dusty, mind your own business and focus!" Audrey yelled as she pushed hard and breathed heavily.
El encouraged her, "Come on Audrey….Breath…. Push…..harder…...give all your effort…..you're so close….you got this."
"How do you know what to do?" Mike asked.
"Remember, I've done this before. I coached your sister through labor." El answered. A few minutes later both Audrey's and Dustin's mom entered the room and began encouraging her.
"You're gonna get through this Audrey. My labor with you after I crowned was a snap of a finger. One minute I was pushing. The next you were in my arms." Audrey's mom explained.
"Yeah you are gonna forget about all the pain as soon as you get the baby out. I don't even remember my labor with Dusty. Seeing your child basically wipes your mind of the pain your in now. The faster you push the faster the pain goes away." Dustin's mom said.
Audrey began pushing as hard as she could. She squeezed Dustin and El's hands so hard they turned bright red. Both Dustin and El took the pain knowing her's was probably much worse. After another hour of coaching, birth stories, pain, and pushing. A beautiful baby was given birth. It was a boy. The nurses gave the baby a check up and wrapped him in the blanket. He was handed to Audrey who rocked him in her arms. Dustin kissed him on the forehead and tears came to his eyes. Everyone in the room was crying. El and Mike held their god child. El bursted into tears.
"Audrey I'm so jealous, but so happy for you." El cried.
"El. I promise your time will come." Audrey promised.
Eventually, Mike and El headed back to the hotel and purchased an extra day, so they wouldn't have to check out in the morning. Both of them dropped into the bed.
"El, why are you so anxious for a baby?" Mike asked.
"I love kids so much. I've never had a younger sibling until my parents adopted recently. I love having someone to look after. It breaks my heart to know that some kids don't have a home, so I want to adopt. I also just want to know if the people from the old lab are going to try to capture my child if she has my powers. I want to make things right. I want to give my children everything I didn't have most of my life. I have no idea if the bad men are still out there waiting for a chance to experiment on kids. My offspring will be a gold mine for them. I guess having a kid will prove to me that the bad men aren't coming back. It will give me peace of mind. I'm just excited for that time of my life and to experience things like that with you." El explained.
Mike replied, "El, I promise no one is going to get near you or our kids as long as I live. I'll die before the lay a hand on the ones I love. Stop worrying about that. We will take care of it if it's a problem, but for all we know the men are all gone. I can't wait to be a dad. I'd love to adopt as well as have my own kids. I'd like to help as many kids as we can. You've come so far and that time or your life is so close I promise. Please just don't waste this last year being in high school worrying and waiting. I love you future Mrs. Wheeler. Sleep tight. Goodnight." Mike kissed her on the forehead and they fell fast asleep. Meanwhile, Dustin kneeled on one knee with a ring. The couple got papers from the courthouse to be married immediately. The baby was given the name James David Henderson.
