A/N: I really just wanted to flesh out the ending of 'Tori and the Baby Song' a little bit so here's some self indulgent babyfic.


Tori Vega (6:57 pm):

It's almost baby time! Jade's gonna start pushing now!

Feeling: Excited 😁


Tori's post had quickly garnered the attention of their friends and family who had all been waiting for this moment since that morning when Jade had first gone into labor, but she ignored each ping! that signaled a new comment to focus fully on Jade, who was working hard to bring their child into the world. Her efforts quickly began to pay off, because only about ten minutes after she had started pushing, the nurse made a very exciting announcement.

"Oh, the head is crowning," she announced at the end of Jade's most recent push.

"You're doing an amazing job," Tori praised, smiling brightly at Jade, after she'd taken another quick peek at her progress.

"I just want it out already," Jade groaned, turning her head to look at Tori. Her bangs were damp and plastered to her flushed forehead with sweat and her cheeks were flushed, but even despite the hard work she was doing, she was still going strong.

"I know, it's almost out," Tori said encouragingly. She lifted her free hand up to Jade's flushed face and gently pushed a lock of hair back, before leaning in to give her a quick kiss.

"That's right, it really won't be long now," the nurse said. "Let's push again, okay?"

"Here we go again. I love you!" Tori said, bringing Jade's leg back up and into position as she got ready to push again.

"That's right, big push, let's get this baby out," the doctor said. Jade nodded and took another breath, gripping the bed's handrails as she got into it again. Her eyes squeezed shut and her cheeks reddened as she pushed, and the nurse nodded encouragingly over her little whimper.

"Good girl, just like that!"

"Here it comes!" Tori cheered, leaning over a bit to sneak another peek at the progress and seeing the baby's now steadily emerging head. "Keep going!"

"Easy now," the nurse said after a moment, not anticipating the quick progress. "Don't want the head coming too fast."

Jade lessened up a bit, still grimacing as she still managed to give just enough of a push to have the rest of the baby's head come out, albeit slower.

"Okay, the baby's head is out now," the doctor said. "Just pant, don't push for me for a minute."

Jade let the rest of her current breath out, quickly taking in a few short, quick breaths as the doctor checked the baby and the nurse got the final preparations for delivery taken care of, spreading a blanket over Jade's chest for once the baby was out.

"It's nearly here now, Jadey, we're so close to meeting them," Tori babbled with awe in her voice, slipping up on Jade's nickname and rubbing her leg with her free hand comfortingly.

"Alright, and one more big push should do it," the doctor said after a long moment.

"Just a little more, come on, you've got this!" Tori encouraged, and with that, Jade took a few small breaths, before taking a big one, and gave it her all, pushing hard.

And just as Jade's last push began, off in another world behind her, Tori heard her phone go off with presumably another notification about a comment on her status; but she was way too preoccupied with seeing their child finally come into the world to give any attention to it right then.

A short piercing cry announced the new arrival, and Tori and Jade both froze upon hearing the first noise from the baby. The world temporarily moved in slow motion as the doctor lifted the baby up for them to see.

"It's a girl. 7:12 pm."

Her tiny, pink body was carefully laid across the blanket on Jade's chest, her crying face turned up towards her mothers', and the pair could only stare down at her in shock, both of their mouths open slightly. After a moment of hearing the baby's cries, Jade unfroze a bit and brought her arms up and wrapped them around her crying newborn to hug and comfort her.

"Tori, she's here," Jade said, disbelief in her voice at her statement as she turned her head to look at her wife, clear shock still evident on her face. "We have a daughter and she's finally here."

"She's here," Tori repeated over the baby's crying, bringing a shaky hand up to Jade's shoulder. "You did it. Oh my God, I'm so proud of you."

She leaned in and kissed Jade's flushed cheek.

"Our little girl," Jade said, her voice breaking, turning her head back to the baby, her face scrunched up and still very pink. "Happy birthday."

The baby's crying finally tapered off upon hearing her voice, and she tried hard to focus on her face. Jade felt tears well up in her eyes when they made eye contact and she finally got a good look at her daughter; it was love at first sight.

"Hey there. Welcome to the world, baby," Tori greeted her daughter, leaning in close to try to get a good look at her face, her cheeks inches away from Jade's. The baby didn't have to look too far to find the source of the other voice, immediately recognizing it from her talking to her so much when she was in the womb, before her eyes met Tori's. She beamed, also instantly falling in love with her daughter.


A bit later after things had calmed down, Tori stared down at the tiny soft bundle in her arms, her and Jade's new daughter.

"Hey. Hi, you. Oh, you're so pretty," she cooed, smiling down at the baby, who was staring right back at her. After a moment, Tori looked up at Jade, resting in the bed.

"How are you feeling?" Tori asked.

Jade groaned loudly. "Now that my epidural is wearing off, I'm so fucking sore."

Tori gasped. "Hey, don't use curse words around the baby," she said, before shooting Jade a small smile. "Besides, delivery wasn't that bad, right?"

Jade narrowed her eyes, unamused. "If you weren't holding our daughter, I would come over there and end you for saying that."

"Ooh, someone's a bit grumpy," Tori said, looking back down to the baby. "I guess we'll just keep to ourselves then."

"Like hell you will. I want to hold her again, bring her to me."

Tori complied and carefully walked back over to the bedside, leaning down to hand the baby back to Jade. Her expression immediately softened upon seeing her daughter's face once more.

"Want to count her fingers and toes again? Maybe see if she's ready to nurse a little?" Tori asked, as she sat down in the chair by the bed again.

Jade shook her head. "No, let's let her rest. I'm sure she's still got eight of each, and the nurse said she'll eat when she's ready."

Tori blinked, taking a moment to register Jade's words. "Oh, so you get to make jokes but you'll end me if I try to?"

"Uh, yeah. Because I was the one who gave birth, so I'm allowed to joke," Jade replied, looking up from the baby's face to look at Tori.

Tori shrugged. "I guess that's fair, seeing as I didn't have something her size come out of my—"

"Don't remind me," Jade interrupted. "Just be quiet and admire her with me."

"With pleasure," Tori said, leaning over in her chair to admire her daughter with Jade.


Tori Vega (8:42 pm):

Baby Vega-West is finally here! She was born at 7:12 pm, weighing 7 lbs, 5 oz, and measuring 20 inches tall. Jade and baby are both doing great! ❤️

Feeling: In Love 😍


A/N: There's a tiny but specific reference from a very important Jori episode buried somewhere in here (because I just love making tiny, specific references to things), did you happen to catch it? :3c
