"Oh my gosh, no! It's time." Jessica looks to Danny and Sarah with a terrified expression.
Danny quickly gets out of his seat.
"We'll call your mother, sweetie."
"No! I need Sarah's mother!"
"We have to notify your parents, Jessica."
"No she doesn't want to be there! Please just call Sarah's mom. Please!"
"Jessica, those are the rules."
Jessica cries softly.
"Don't worry, I'm calling my mom now. Let's start walking up front before you get another contraction."
"Okay.."
Danny starts walking to the door and his teacher stops him.
"Daniel, where do you think you're going?"
"I'm gonna go to the hospital!"
"Sit down."
"No thanks!" Danny takes off and opens the door for Sarah and Jessica.
"Let's go meet the baby!" He smiles.
Jessica smiles and walks to the door with Sarah's help.

"Jessica, we called your parents." The school receptionist says.
"What did they say?"
"Well.."
"I already know how Suzanne feels. Sarah's mother is on her way for us."
"Okay. Do you need anything while you wait?"
"No thank you." Jessica nods.
"How are you feeling?" Danny asks.
"Like we're about to have a baby." Jessica chuckles.
"She is all of ours, isn't she?" Sarah says.
"Yeah.." Jessica smiles softly.
"She'll always be apart of our family." Danny says as he places his hand on her bump.
"Thank you. I'm so nervous, you guys. I know she's a little late, but it still seems too soon."
"She's ready to meet you, mommy! It's the perfect time." Sarah says.
"What if I can't do it?"
"You can!" Danny says. "You're the strongest person I know, remember?"
"Yeah.." Jessica smiles softly. "This will be the easy part.... The hard part comes when I have to say goodbye to her."
"Don't think about that part right now. Just think about the moment she comes out and you see her face." Danny says.
Jessica nods her head and takes a deep breath.
Just then she feels a contraction coming on.
"Oh no.. here it comes."
"You're okay. Breathe like we all practiced."
Jessica starts off very calm, but soon the pain intensified. "Ow! Oh gosh. OW! This hurts!" Jessica cries.
"Breathe, it's okay. Dammit, where is my mother?!" Sarah shouts.
"Sarah, be quiet!" Danny says.
Jessica then gasps and says, I don't have her things! I need the baby's clothes, socks, and her hat! I also have a little book I wanted to read her. I need it!" Jessica cries.
