Maxon P.O.V.

"How are you feeling honey?" I ask America when we get back to our room and she smiles and gives me a short kiss on the lips before throwing her shoes off and skipping to her room to change into a nightgown. I take off my shirt and put on some cozy pajama pants and wait for America in my room but she doesn't come, I wait for another ten minutes and after that I barge into America's room to find her panicking because she peed in her pants with Mary.

"Did your water break?" I ask with an edge of panic in my voice as I try to comfort America.

"I don't know, I just walked in here and wet stuff came out," America responds, as nervous as I am.

"Her water did break your majesty, she just doesn't want to go to the infirmary," Mary says calmly.

"America let's go," and before she responds I scoop her up and bring her to the infirmary with me and Mary trailing behind.

"Can you call her family please," I ask Mary when we get to the infirmary and she nods, off to finding a phone.

"Dr. Ashler, her water broke," I say out of breath when we finally find him in the infirmary and he just laughs.

"Just?" he asks and I nod vigorously, "has the contractions started?" he asks America and she shakes her head up and down, "how often?" he asks.

"Every ten minutes from what I've been feeling," she responds.

"Your majesty you can put her down, when they get closer together we'll start but until then go to the delivery room. Bounce on the ball and walk around, try to move the babies around, we'll prepare otherwise," and with that he leaves as I take America's hand to the delivery room.

"See? I told you it was fine," America says as soon as the doctor says, walking over to the blue bouncy ball in the corner to bounce on.

"Alright," I sigh, not wanting to make her mad, "I'm going to go quickly get my camera," I say, running out of the room to get my camera almost running into May.

"Hi Maxon!" she says cheerfully and I stop for a second

"Hey May, why don't you go hang out with America, she could probably use some company while I'll be right back," I say and then keep running to my room. When I get there I grab the nearest camera and run back to the room.

"Maxon!" America groans when I get back and I quickly put my camera on the bed to comfort her, "it hurts," she whines and then a second later she suddenly sits up straight, "thank god, it's over," she smiles at me and gives me a quick kiss.

"I got my camera-" I start

"Maxon!" America groans again, interrupting me, "Maxon," she says again, her face filled with pain and anger.

"Shhh, calm down America," I let her take my hand as she squeezes it, waiting for the contraction to be over.

"Maxon.. I-I-I don't think I can do it," she says a couple of minutes later and turns to me, tears streaming down her face, I'm assuming the hormones are adding more tears but she still has some.

"Yes you can America Schreave," I say, trying to sound as brave as I hope I look, "we are going to be parents, wonderful parents and you are going to be the best mom ever," I look her square in the eye and the tears stop rushing down her face.

"It just... We've come so long, Kriss, and now this," she says, looking down, ashamed.

"Hey, don't you ever think you took Kriss away from me, she's perfect but not for me," I lift her chin up and her eyes smile a bit.
