One month later...

El walls through the mall with a very pregnant Max. They are looking around for inspiration for Mike and El's budget wedding.

"Oh my gosh, Ellie! That dress is so, so, soooo, pretty!", Max excitedly points out, in the window of a dress shop.

"Oh my. Wow.", El says, trying to match the excitement of the pregnant woman beside her.

"Are you okay? You haven't really been too excited about anything today.", The redhead questions, worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm fine just tired.", The brunette says, rubbing her eyes.

"Okay.", The redhead says.

They continue walking. El walks at the same pace as the redhead until, Max stops abruptly. The brunette looks confusedly at the redhead.

"Max, are you okay?", She asks.

"I think I'm going into labor.", Max says, shocked.

"O-okay. Come on let's get you to the car, okay? Then I'll call Lucas and Mike and Erica," The brunette says trying to calm the freckled woman.

She grabs ahold of Max and walks her out the exit, to the car, continuing to say whatever comes to mind. She gets the woman into the passenger seat and gets in the driver's seat. She begins to drive, straight to the hospital.

"El, how much longer?", Max says, sweat pooling on her forehead.

"Uhm, twenty to thirty more minutes?", El says nervously.

"Ughhh, Pull over! SHE'S COMING RIGHT NOW!!", Max groans and yells.

"Shit.", El says, pulling the car over to the side of the nearly deserted street.

"I'm going to call an ambulance and I'm going to call Lucas okay?", El says, digging her phone out of her pocket.

"Okay.", The redhead cries, throwing her head back.

The brunette gets done on the phone and lays out a blanket on the grass outside the car for her bestfriend to lay on. She places pillows on each side of her. Her bestfriend already removed her underwear.

"Breathe, Max.", El says, calmly.

The redhead groans.

"I'm gonna push.", The redhead says.

The brunette positions herself between her bestfriend's legs to help her deliver the baby, she gives her hand to the redhead.

"Okay, push.", The brunette says.

The redhead screams as she squeezes her bestfriend's hand. The brunette tries to focus her attention on helping the girl, not the pain in her hand.

"Max, I'm gonna need you to squeeze the pillows, okay? I have to help guide the baby out.", The brunette says to the screaming woman.

She let's go of the brunette's hand and replaces it with a pillow while the brunette's hand goes to join her other hand.

"She's crowning!", The brunette says, smiling.

The redhead gives a few more pushes and then...

The sound of a baby crying overpowers the sound of the redhead's screams.

"Congratulations Max. You have a brand new, beautiful baby girl. I'm proud of you.", The brunette says, holding the new bundle of joy.

She carefully lays the baby in her mother's arms.

"Are you going to wait for Lucas to name her?", El asks.

"I think so.", Max says, her eyes fixed on her new daughter.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and carried the redhead and her baby to get fixed up at the hospital. The brunette followed the ambulance to the hospital and met Lucas and Auggie at the entrance. Lucas visits his wife and his daughter's room.

"What are we gonna name her?", Lucas asks.

"I was thinking about that. What do you think about Athena?", Max asks.

"Perfect.", He says.
