No Looking Back {Book Two}

3 Months Later

"Goodnight Rick." I said, laying down.

"Goodnight Maddie." He said, laying down next to and wrapped his arm around and put his hand on my belly like he always does. We soon fell asleep.

3 Hours Later

I woke up to a sharp pain in my stomach. A few minutes later, I felt my water break.

"Rick, wake up." I said, shaking him slightly. He groaned before waking up.

"What? What is it Maddie?" He asked, looking at me.

"My water broke." I told him.

"Shit!" He said, rolling over and fell off the bed.

"You good?" I asked, laughing. He peaked his head over the bed and looked at me.

"Yeah, I'm good." He said. "Let's get you to Siddiq." He said, standing up.

"Alright. Put a shirt on, no one else can see you with no shirt." I said, getting out of bed. I looked at the bed and saw it soaked from my water breaking. "Oops. I got the bed wet." I said. He walked over and saw it then chuckled.

"How many times have I told you to stop doing that? I thought I taught you better than that Maddie." He said.

"You did but I just didn't listen." I said, putting my shoes on. "Now let's go to the doctor." I said. We woke the kids up and they came with us to see the doctor.

"What are you all doing up this late?" Daryl asked. I didn't notice him sitting on the steps of the house he sleeps in.

"Maddie's water broke." Rick told him.

"My niece is coming now?!" Daryl asked, a bit too loud.

"Calm down Daryl. It's going to be awhile until she comes." I said, chuckling.

"Sorry. I'm just excited to see my niece." He said.

We soon got to Siddiq's house and Rick knocked on the door. A few minutes later, the door opened.

"What's up?" Siddiq asked.

"My water broke." I said.

"Alright, come on in. You know the drill Maddie." He said.

"Yes I do." I said. I walked around the house, waiting for my contractions to get closer together.

A few hours later

My contractions were now about five minutes apart. They helped my lay on the floor with my back against Rick's chest. My pants and underwear were already off before laying down obviously. Siddiq was now wearing gloves and got ready to deliver the baby.

"When I say push, push for ten seconds then breath." He said.

"Okay." I said, getting ready to push.

"Push Maddie!" Siddiq said. I pushed as hard as I possibly can for ten seconds then took deep breaths.

5 hours later

"One more push!" Siddiq shouted. I had sweat beading down my face and it soaked my hair and shirt. I pushed one last time and the baby came out. "Great job Maddie!" He said.

"Good job mom." Liam said.

"We're proud of you mom." Judith said.

"You did great Maddie. Like you always do." Rick said.

I looked at Daryl and he looked speechless, seeing his niece being born. Siddiq brought her over all cleaned up and wrapped in a little blanket. He handed her to me and I smiled at her.

"Look at her, she's so cute." I said, holding her.

"Yes she is Maddie." Rick said, reaching his hand around and she grabbed his finger. I looked up and saw a smile on his face.

"What are you going to name her?" Siddiq asked.

"Olivia." Me and Rick said at the same time.

"That's a beautiful name." Siddiq said.

I was now on the couch and Rick was holding his daughter in his arms, bouncing her up and down gently. After a little bit, Daryl was now holding her.

"Hey there Olivia, I'm going to teach you so many ways to torture your parents." Daryl said.

"Oh come on Daryl. You can't let me live, can you?" I asked, chuckling.

"Nope." He said.

Me and Rick was now heading home with the kids continuously asking if they can hold her.

"Not yet. She's too young and too fragile right now. Wait until she's a little older." I said.

We walked into the house and the kids went to their rooms while me and Rick went into ours. We had the crib in our room so we'll know if she wakes up. I gently put her in the crib and kissed her forehead with Rick doing the same.

We then laid down and I cuddled up to him and kissed him before the both of us fell asleep.
