They arrive at the hospital. The nurse takes them to the delivery room.
Dr. K. checks her vitals and asks her a few questions. She asks this nurse to monitor her.
When the doctor returns to the room she tells them that the baby is ready to come out any minute. She tells Zac to call everyone.
"Babe, I'm going to step out for just a few minutes to call the family."
Zac calls Madea, his mom, and Andi. They are all on their way.
Zac's parents were scheduled to fly out tomorrow morning. They were going to see if they can get anything tonight.
About 30 minutes later, Fatima is in labor. Zac is right by her side, holding her hand and kissing her forehead.
Baby Taylor arrives.
The doctor monitors the baby and Fatima. After everything looks good, they bring the baby back so Fatima can hold her.
"Oh my God, I can't believe I'm holding my baby," says Fatima in tears.
"She's so precious and looks just like you, says Zac."
After a few moments, Fatima let Zac hold her, and he starts to get emotional.
"Hey baby girl, it's daddy. I'm so proud of your mom, she's a strong and brave woman."
Andi and Lori show up.
"Aww, mama and baby, are ya'll okay?" asks Andi.
"Yes, we are doing fine."
"Aww, look at Baby T," says Lori. "What's her name?"
"Zuri Madilynn Renae Taylor," says Fatima.
"That's cute," Andi says.
"Madea just called. She and Madam are in the lobby," says Zac.
"I'll go get them and then they can come in while Lor and I wait in the waiting room," says Andi.
They go get Madea and Madam.
"How's my grandbaby?" asks Madea.
"I'm doing fine, just a little tired," Fatima responds.
"Not you, my other grandbaby, the little one," says Madea.
Zac responds. "She's doing good, they are about to take her to the nursery, so Fatima can get some rest."
"Ok, well we won't stay long," says Madea.
"What's her name?" asks Madam.
"She's named after you guys. Zuri Madilynn Renae Taylor. The z is for Zac, Madilynn is for Madea & Marilynn, and then, of course, Renae is my middle name, but spelled a little different," says Fatima.
"Oh, that's beautiful," Madea says. "Go ahead and get some rest and we'll come back."
"My parents said they were able to get an early flight. I'm going to call Jake to see if he could pick them up from the airport.
The nurse takes the baby back to the nursery while Fatima sleeps. Zac goes to the lobby to make a few calls.
The Next Morning.
Everyone decided to go home last night and come back in the morning. Zac's family arrived around 1:00 am, so he told Jake to take them to his house.
Fatima is awake and the nurse brought the baby into the room for her to feed.
"Good morning, babe. I'm going to run to the house to pick up my parents, I will be right back. Andi and Lori are downstairs, I will send the up if that's ok," says Zac.
"Yes, that's fine."
Zac kisses her and the baby and leave. Andi and Lori come into the room.
"Can I finally hold my god baby?" asks Andi.
They sit and talk for a bit and take turns holding the baby. Then Zac returns with his parents.
"Hey ladies, I don't mean to disturb what ya'll get going on. Is it okay if my parents come in?" asks Zac.
"Of course, Andi let's give the grandparents time with the baby. We'll be back, just going to get breakfast," says Lori.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor enters the room with flowers and balloons.
"Hello, how are you feeling Fatima?" Mrs. Taylor says as she hugs Fatima.
They both hold the baby.
Later on, that evening, Dr. K comes to check on both of them one last time. Both Fatima and Zuri are doing fine, so she discharges them.
Fatima and Baby Z, leave the hospital.
