A mom for Christmas

it's a big Day at Capricorn

Stef's: POV
Everything is going exceptionally well
All the Partons are enjoying themselves. I received a lot compliments on the food, my staff are doing their job severing the customers
I walked around the floor spoke to few people to see if they needed anything. Robin came over telling me that I have a phone call, l asked her who it is was. She told that it was my father in law Stuart, l head up to the front and picked up the telephone hello l said to him. I listened to everything he says to me, Stuart told me Lena was at the hospital due to her water broke. While they were over at the house visiting, l tried to stay calm. I'm the restaurant and told my baby l love her Stef says in a panic voice. Stef please drive safely Stuart tells me, l go let Kim know l have a family emergency. Hey Kimberly l have to head out hold down the fort
I'm counting on you Kim, your my best employee so your in charge
Stef states as she heads back to her office to get her jacket and bag and lock up her door. I head out to my car
Something told me Lena was going to go in labor, she kept saying she was fine. Which l knew she trying to reassure me, she wasn't having contractions. I felt it in the pit of my stomach, today was gonna be the day the babies were gonna come, we haven't heard anything back from Angela. I pushed all those thoughts aside so I can concentrate on the road
The last thing I need is to get into an accident, l'm driving 60 miles an hour
These damn drivers don't know what lane they wanna go in. I honked my horn at the vehicle in front of me
Everybody racing down the highway like a bat out of hell. Luckily I have the car seats in the trunk along with Lena's suitcase and mine. The diaper bag is sitting in the back seat. I made sure, l had my oil changed and got brand new tires put on last week
Lena's vehicle is practically still new
We don't have to worry about going grocery shopping. I did all my errands yesterday, Margaret's is going to be staying at our home for a month cause Stuart has to go Gainesville Georgia for a business trip. I'm not sure when he's leaving he probably change his mind about it, regardless Margaret wants to stay at the house with us. I don't have an issue with it
I rushed through the Seattle women's medical center and went up to registration, l take a deep breath
Excuse me miss can please tell me what floor is Lena Foster Adams is on
I asked the man behind the desk, your name please he said as he types away on the computer. Stephanie Foster Adams, your relationship to the patient. The man said to me
Look my wife is having twins and can you cut the one hundred questions and tell me what floor is the maternity ward, you know what fucked it since you wanna look down your nose at me. I go find someone else to help, cause you are being totally unprofessional at the moment
Stef over here l hear Stuart call my name. I walked over towards him
How's Lena dad doing tell me l didn't miss the birth of my daughter's
I asked him, no she's at eight centimeters dilated Margaret's upstairs with her right now. I just came down to get something from the car. She's on the fifth floor room 545
Walk those double doors and the elevators are on your left. Good luck
Your wife is being a real trooper through all this, Stuart explains
Lena called your mom and she's on her way here. now go be with Lena
Stuart told me, l head down the hallway and step on the elevator and pushed the button five. I took time to collect myself, before seeing Lena
The doors open up and I stepped off the elevator then heading down the hall. I looked at all the numbers on the doors, l knock on the door
Come in l heard some one say
I entered inside. Baby l'm sorry
I wasn't here sooner, Stef Stated
Don't worry about it l know you had that big catering job you had to do
Lena said. Stef go get change into these scrubs, Simone tells me
I head to the bathroom and undress quickly. Folding up my clothes and came back out of the restroom, Stef your just in time Lena's ten centimeters dilated, come over and hold her hand. Love this it our babies will be here soon, Stef kisses Lena on the head. Lena pushes with all her might, that's when I hear a baby cries
Dr. Simone holds up Grace so we could see her. She has a head of curly hair, Lena it's almost over the doctor speaks. I'm tired Lena breathes heavy
I wiped the sweat off her forehead
Babe you can do this, one more big push Stef says to me. Lena begins pushing again, hope is being stubborn
Lena take a break. It seems like your little girl doesn't want to come out of the womb, Simone says. As Lena leans back against the pillow and becomes irritated, l knew not to push her when she gets like this. Lena begins crying
Margaret goes over to Lena and comfort her, she begins to calm down some. I think we got everything sorted out Simone replied, okay let's get this show on the road Dr. Witmore
Talks to Lena, one more big push Lena's the midwife said, Lena leaned forward winks at me and started pushing. That's when we heard a loud cry,
