January 1st 2000...

"Happy new year!!!" Mark yelled.

Jay laughed and hugged her husband, then picked Louis up and swung him around making him giggle.

"Be careful love." Mark said. He was always so protective over her, especially since she became pregnant. The baby was due at the start of March.

Louis yawned as she put him back on the floor.

"Bed now." Jay said, taking his hand.

"Night Daddy." He gave Mark a quick hug, then headed up to bed.

Jay tucked him into bed and sat beside him. "Goodnight sweetheart." She kissed his forehead.

"Night Mummy. Love you lots." He yawned again, before snuggling under his duvet and closing his eyes. He was soon asleep.

Mark was in their bedroom when she walked in.

"I'm exhausted." She said as she took her slippers off.

"Not surprised. It was a long day. Hurry up into bed love."

Jay pulled her jumper over her head when a sharp pain shot through her stomach.

"Oh God." She gasped.

"Jay?" Mark rushed around the bed. "You ok?"

"Hmmm...must've been Braxton hicks." She replied as the pain subsided.

"You sure you're ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. Let's get to bed." She smiled as he helped her take the rest of her clothes off. They got into bed.

Jay couldn't sleep. She was uncomfortable.

At 1.30 another sharp pain went around her stomach causing her to cry out.

Mark woke up in a panic. "Jay? More pains?" He sat up and turned the bedside lamp on.

Jay was panting as another pain hit. "M...Mark...argh!"

"Shit. The baby's coming isn't it?"

Jay nodded, tears falling as she gripped the bed sheets. Her waters broke. "Ambulance." She managed to say between panting. "Call Anne too."

Anne had said to call her as soon as things happened, so she could take Louis.

Mark called both, and both were on their way.

Five minutes later, Anne burst through their front door and ran up the stairs. She knocked on the bedroom door. Mark opened it.

"The baby is coming Anne. It's early. Too early." He said.

"Don't panic Mark. Jay are you ok?" She said as she sat beside her.

"It's too early Anne." She cried. "Aaarrghhh no. Please stop!"

"Mummy?" Louis was stood at the bedroom door. Mark turned and took him from the room quickly.

"Louis...Mummy's ok. But the baby is coming. I need you to go with Auntie Annie to her house and be a good boy." Mark said, trying not to show the panic in his voice.

"Oh. Ok Daddy. I'm gonna be a big brother soon."

Mark smiled. "That's right love. Now get a few bits together and go with Annie."

Jay screamed from the bedroom as there was a knock at the door. Mark ran down the stairs and let the paramedics in.

"You're in safe hands now. I'm gonna take Lou. You're doing great love." Anne said as she hugged Jay, then went to get Louis.
