Since I had nearly went a month without updating this one, I figured I owed it to everyone to add another chapter today.

I had never intended to leave out the other set of grandparents, I just couldn't figure out how I wanted to bring them back in and it worked out nicely with this chapter and there is still more to come with Henry and Ruby as I know exactly what I'm going to do with them.

I get that things might not seem a bit on the realistic side with this chapter but in its own little way it just felt right to do things this way. And I liked focusing more on Jesse towards the end of the chapter.

Enjoy!

By the time Planksgiving came around Zoe was more than ready to have her baby out in the world. The baby's due date wasn't for a few more days, but she was uncomfortable at all times of the day, she barely slept leaving her extra cranky.

Wade tried to do everything in his power to help his wife out but found it was actually easier said then done. The one thing he could do for her, because the last thing he wanted for her to do was to go out and joined in with the rest of the town festivities, he convinced his parents and his in-laws to come over and they would have their own little feast. He didn't want Zoe to get uncomfortable out on the streets, he was doing this with her mind. The door was always open for anyone to stop in and see them.

"Have I told you just how much I love you?" Zoe asked, wrapping her arms around his waist, her head resting on his chest. She really didn't feel up to going out so staying in and having a meal with their family was the best thing that she could think of to celebrate the day.

"You have and ya know, I love you too," he told her with a kiss to the top of her head. Standing there wrapped up in each other's embrace left them in a world of their own.

"I'll get it," Zoe told her husband pulling away hearing the knocking at their front door. Wade went to protest, but Zoe shook her head. He kissed her temple and went to see if he was needed elsewhere. "Hi," Zoe said her shock wrapped in confusion.

"We know we should've called and not just dropped by announced," Henry said. "But we did want to give you guys a bit of space with everything that had been going on in your life and we've talked to Ariel enough to know what's been going on and she asked if we would come down," he explained.

Zoe nodded, letting them come into the house. "I'm actually happy you both are here and I do hope that things between us are better than we last left off on," she said, looking between Henry and Ruby. They still had things to discuss, but she was going to let those things go for the moment.

"And I'm sorry for that," Ruby said. "Justin was," she paused.

"I know," Zoe told her with a gentle smile. "How long are you planning on being here?" She asked.

"For the weekend, Monday or Tuesday at the latest," Ruby replied. "We've got a room at the Whippoorwill Blossom Bed and Breakfast."

"Ariel's in the kitchen helping with dinner, you're more than welcome to head in there," Zoe told them, taking a seat on the couch, her hands resting on her stomach.

Ruby went in search for her granddaughter, leaving Henry behind to take a seat in the living room. "Not much longer, right?" He asked.

"Could be any day and I can't wait," she smiled, gently rubbing her stomach.

"Ariel told us that you guys don't what the sex is," he commented. Zoe shook her head. As hard as it had been they had stuck to waiting to find out what they were having until the actual birth.

"Hey Henry," Wade greeted walking into the living room to check on his wife and to see what exactly was going on between Zoe and Henry. He didn't want Henry to be saying anything to stress Zoe out, not when they were so close to having their son or daughter in their arms. "My dad and Harley are out back setting up a little treasure hunt for Braxton and Ariel, I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you joined them," he suggested.

Henry chuckled lightly and headed through the house to back yard. Wade gave Zoe a look seeing a look of pain flash across her face. "I'm fine," she told him.

"You're not fine," he said, sitting on the coffee table in front of her. "What's going on?" He asked gently.

"Nothing," she tried. Wade shook his head. "Okay, just a little contraction, nothing to be alarmed about, they just started, that was the first one I've felt and we have plenty of time to kill before the idea that our baby is ready to come out is actually real. They don't want us there right now, just wait it out here," she told him.

"They don't or you don't?" He questioned. She shrugged giving him a pout. "Fine you are the doctor after all, but when I think it's enough of your foolishness we're going to Mobile, unless you want your dad to deliver our baby," he smirked.

"Not really," she told him with a disgusting face. "That's a worse case scenario anyway," she replied.

"I mean it, Zo, the second I feel like you can't handle the pain, we're out the door," he told her. He didn't care that they had guests, his focus was on his wife and baby making sure nothing happened to her or their baby.

"I know and I love that about you, but my water hasn't even broke yet," she told him, trying to calm him down. She rolled her eyes seeing the serious look on his face.

"Even I know that sometimes the doctor has to break the water," he retorted.

"Okay, fine but the best thing to do right now is to wait for the contractions to be a bit closer together or we're wasting hours maybe a day at the hospital, I get your concern, Wade. And I promise you this baby will be born in the hospital and we have a bit more to worry about here, but going in won't do either one of us any good. Let's enjoy a bit more time with our families and take it as it goes."

"Okay," he relented.

"Everything okay in here?" Jackie asked, peeking her head into the living room.

"Yep," Wade replied. Jackie nodded and head back into the kitchen, to finish up with the food. "What?" He asked, seeing the raised eyebrow of his wife. "No need to make them worry until we have too," he replied, kissing her to keep her from saying anything.

A few hours later Wade could see that the contractions were closer together and every time he went to say something, Zoe would shake her head. For right now he was letting her control everything, until he couldn't take any longer. If anyone noticed they never said anything, Jesse at most shared a look with Wade when he noticed the pain featured in Zoe's face, going back to talking to his girlfriend.

They were in the middle of their family dinner when Zoe excused herself to use the bathroom. Hearing his wife call his name in which to him sounded like panic, he was up and out of his chair in a flash, the rest of them doing the same thing.

Jackie had promised that they would clean everything up, Harley would bring the kids to the hospital later after their little sibling was born. Henry and Ruby had promised to stick around and help out in any way that was possible. Jesse seeing the state his brother was in, drove them to the hospital.

Jesse paced in the waiting room. Even though this wasn't his kid being born, he was still freaking out. He wanted his newest niece or nephew to be a healthy happy baby with nothing going wrong whatsoever. That would really wreck his brother's family and over the years he'd come to accept Zoe as his own sister and he wanted them to be a happy little family.

Time had seemed to merge together for Jesse, the tick tock sound of the clock hanging on the wall blending together as he waited for any kind of updates from his brother. Reporting back to the others in Bluebell got harder as time went by as they had been persistent to know what was going on and he had the same reply each time, that he didn't know anything.

He had long ago collapsed in a chair, his eye lids becoming heavy with sleep when Wade had burst into the waiting room a proud smile on his face. "Want to come meet your newest Niece?" He asked his older brother. He waited until Zoe had dozed off before going out to find his brother and whoever else may happen to be in the waiting room.

Whatever sleep that had been trying to consume his body was long gone as he got to his feet a grin on his face as he followed his brother to the nursery. He didn't need a name to know which baby belonged to his little brother. She looked like both of them. "Hi Elizabeth," he said softly, reading her name for the tag. "She's the cutest one in there," he told his brother. "Hey now we can have cake on Planksgiving," he smirked, nudging his brother's arm.

"What?" Wade asked with a chuckle.

"You can't not have cake on the days her birthday falls on the holiday," he retorted in a duh tone.

"I think you need to go home or make a bed in the waiting room and get a few hours of sleep," Wade told him. "Thanks for uh ya know everything," Wade told him in an awkward manner.

"There's nothing I wouldn't do for you," Jesse told him. "You go back to your wife, I'm going to snap a picture and send it to everyone," Jesse informed him.

Wade nodded and headed back to his wife, his smile remaining on his face. Come tomorrow morning, he'd have plenty of people to deal with when they came into visit and see little Eliza. And he couldn't wait to show off his little girl.
