Hey, i am so sorry for how long this has taken to post. I really lost my way and could not think of what to write. please bear with me as it may take some more time for me to update and get back in to this, as always please read and review. much love.

Lizzie woke to a sharp pain radiating across her belly and down in her pelvis. She could only describe it as period pains on speed. Switching on the lamp, she looked at the clock that stood on the table. closing her eyes, she counted until the pain subsided. When it did, she rolled out of the bed, and waddled into the bathroom. Turning the tap on, she filled the tumbler that was on the side of the sink and took a big gulp of water. Walking back to the bed another wave of pain hit her, breathing through it she again counted till the pain ended. Looking at the bed she sighed Dylan had been at sea for a few days after being crash sailed. Picking up her phone she called the only person she could think of that could help.

"hemmllo" the voice on the end of the phone said in a sleep confused state.
"Um commander Flynn, its lizzie, Dylan's partner, i think i have gone into labour, i need a ride to the hospital, i did not know who else to call,"
"ok, I'll be at yours in 10 minutes,"

Lizzie dropped her phone back on to the bed before pulling her packed hospital bag from where she stored it and then pulled out her oldest pair of trackies. Making sure she had all her paperwork and documents, she pulled on a warm jumper and waited after placing her bag by the front door

As another wave hit, the doorbell rang. Mustering all her strength, lizzie walked over to the door and opened it. Smiling up at mike she muttered her thanks through the pain as he picked up her bag and helped her to his car.
"As soon as we know what's happing, I will get Dylan back," mike said as they pulled off.

It took all of 10 minuets to get to the hospital, and lizzie was soon being checked out by a midwife.

"Ok it looks like you are 4cm dilated so we are going to keep you on the monitor for now," she said before wrapping a band around lizzies' belly and attaching it to a foetal heart monitor allowing the rhythmic sound of the baby's heartbeat to fill the room. Walking out she let mike back into the room.

"So, i have let Dylan know they should be in port in a few hours," mike told her
smiling lizzie thanked him before pulling her phone from her bag and texting her dad to let him know what was happing. Placing her phone on the locker next to the bed she closed her eyes and tried to get some more sleep as she knew she was going to need it.

Lizzie woke just as the sun had started to appear in her room and she saw a Dylan's body folded up in the chair that was on the other side of the room. pulling the stress ball, she had packed from her bag she chucked it at him, hitting him right on his head.

"Hey," he said walking over to her before placing a kiss on her forehead. Lizzie closed her eyes a wave of more intense pain. Grabbing Dylans hand, lizzie squeezed it hard until the pain passed. A midwife entered the room just as lizzie let go and cried out.
"Let me just check how you are getting along. Heals together and knees apart," she said before "ok so you are fully dilated,"

Lizzie took hold of Dylan's hand as the midwife told her to push with the next contraction.

Time passed in a blur, and before long the midwife placed the baby on to lizzie's chest.
"Congratulations, it's a girl, dad, do you want to cut the cord?" the midwife said holding the instrument used to cut the cord out to Dylan. Taking them, he cut where he was told and passed them back to the nurse.
"she's beautiful lizzie," he said placing a kiss on her lips, before kissing the baby's head.

"I want to name her after my grandmother," lizzie whispered, before placing a kiss on to her daughter's head. "Welcome to the world Olive Mullholland," she added.
smileing, Izzie held Olive up to the camera Dylan was holding for him to take a photo, passing the child to her Dylan, she asked nurse that had entered to take a photo of the three of them. Taking the camera, lizzie took the photos from the memory card and attached them to an email to her dad.

Hey dad,

Lizzie XX

Hitting send, she held her arms out to Dylan, who passed her the child. Moving her top to one side lizzie brought the baby to her breast allowing her to latch on and feed.
Olive, stopped feeding and let out the smallest of burps before closing her eyes and starting to snore lightly. Placing her into the bassinet, lizzie closed her eyes too and fell asleep.
