Ty's POV:
"Daddy!" Katie yells, running towards Dad, who is standing outside the room Noreen is in.

"Hi Bill. Sorry we took a while, traffic was horrible." Mum says as Dad looks taken aback to see her.

"Hey Maddie. Thanks for driving them here." Dad says hugging Kyle and Katie.

"No problem." She says hanging back with Annie.

"Hey son. Schools over, huh?" Dad asks as he extends his hand out for a hand shake, but I hug him, only for a second, before pulling away.

"Yeah. Don't know what I'm going to do without baseball." I laugh as I notice Mum smiling proudly at me.

"Hi Annie. How are you?" He asks as she smiles.

"Hey Dr T. I'm good, thanks." She replies as I notice a nurse walking out of the room.

"How is she?" Mum asks as the nurse smiles.

"Doing very well. It won't be long till she'll be fully dilated and ready to go to the delivery room." The nurse says as Mum thanks him.

"I'll go see her. Get yourself some coffee." Mum pats Dad on the back and walks into the room, Kyle and Katie trailing behind her.

I'm very tempted to tell him that Mum's engaged. So he knows that she's moved on and she's happy.

But I don't. I let him leave to go get coffee.

"Hospitals suck." I mumble as Annie sits down on the seat beside mine.

"Just think, soon there will be a cute baby in the world, no matter how gross it's birth is." Annie smiles, patting me on the back.

"Want to put bets on its gender?" She asks as I laugh.

"How much?"

"Ten bucks to the winner. We both put in five." Annie extends out her hand.

"Your bet?" I ask.

"Girl." She responds and I place my hand in hers.

"Boy." I say as Kyle and Katie walk out.

"Deal. Get ready to give me ten bucks." I grin as we shake hands.

"I wouldn't be so confident if I were you." Annie declares as Kyle sits down next to us.

After a while Mum comes out and tells us that Noreen is being transferred to a delivery room.

She sits down beside Annie and calls Helen and Dana Sue, telling them what's happening.

"We are going to be here for ages." I groan as Mum rolls her eyes.

"The long parts over, this won't take very long." Mum explains as I sink into my chair, my eyelids growing heavy.

"Ty, the baby's here." Annie whispers softly into my ear, as I wake up slowly.

"Hey there sleepy head." I see her lips quirk into a smile.

"Come on, money is on the line." Annie pulls me up and walks with me as I notice Kyle tugging Mum and Katie along infront of us.

We open the door and see a tired looking Noreen gazing down at her baby.

"Thank you for coming to see us." Noreen glances up at Kyle and smiles.

Kyle instantly darts across the room, followed by a slightly hesitant Katie.

"Do you want to hold her?" Noreen asks as Katie nods. Kyle picks her up and lifts her onto the bed beside Noreen.

She passes the baby down to Katie, helping support the baby's small head.

"Tyler, do you want to come meet your sister?" Noreen asks.

"Told you." Annie whispers into my ear as I walk across the room slowly and see Noreen smile at me.

"What's her name?" I ask quietly.

"Azalea." She says, her eyes pinned on her newborn.

"I like that." I say as she turns and smiles at me, a tear welling up in her eye.

"Sorry, hormonal." She laughs, wiping the tear away.

When Katie and Kyle go with Mum to get some food I sit with Annie in Noreen's room, watching her hold the tiny baby.

"Tyler, wanna hold your sister?" Noreen asks as I stand up.

"Sure." I say. Noreen slowly places the sleeping baby in my arms. I look down at the baby with amazement.

How could this tiny thing have caused such drama in our family? She looks completely harmless.

"She's adorable." I complement as I feel Annie lean over my shoulder to look at her.

"You can hold her too Annie, if you'd like?" Noreen suggests as Annie smiles and I pass the baby over to her.

Annie sits down and holds the tiny newborn in her arms. Her eyes are filled with pure joy and curiosity in the tiny baby. I watch as the baby coos quietly in her arms.

"Noreen, I'm really sorry." I say turning to her.

"Why? You have nothing to apologise for." Noreen assures as I shake my head.

"No, I was awful to you. I was angry and I thought by taking it out on you it would make me feel better."

"And I'm really really sorry. I wish I could make it up to you. Maybe in babysitting?" I ask as she laughs.

"Thank you for saying that Ty. You're going to be a great older brother" She says as I hug her.










************************************
"One" by Lewis Capaldi is the perfect song for Annie and Jackson.

Explaination: Imagine if they get together in season 2 (which is what the trailer is hinting at). Ty confronts Jackson when he finds out and isn't happy that they are dating. Then Jackson snaps back and tells Ty that he had his shot with Annie but threw it away and dated Cece instead.

~In search of perfect when you had it with you all along,
You broke her heart down with ease,
Now I'm pickin' up every piece,
You must be so hard to please~
