August 31, 1972 into September 1, 1972

"You doin' any better, Rain?" Candy asked and sat down on the couch next to me.

I readjusted my position on the couch and shrugged.

"I don't know," I sighed, "More on and off than anything else."

"We called Marilyn," Cherry said, "She'd know more than any of us, I think."

Evie sat on the couch arm. "Has this been bothering you since this morning?"

I shrugged again. "Not really, at least not as much... enough that I was able to convince Two-Bit to go to the garage for work. He didn't really wanna go cause of the time and the only reason he did go was cause the garage is so close and that you all would be here."

"Well it's nice to know that he trusts his pregnant wife with us." Evie let out a chuckle as the doorbell rang. "I'll get it.

I looked over and saw Marilyn come in. She came over and sat next to me. "Hey, you doin' alright?"

"I don't know." I heard Candy start to explain what was going on and what had been going on before she got there and while she explained, it started again. You've got to be kidding me, I thought. I bit down on my bottom lip and felt my body get stiff, yet I was shaking a tiny bit.

"Evie, what's that clock say?" Marilyn asked.

"3:21."

"Do you know the time the last time it happened?"

"About 3:10."

"Alright, Rain- I really think we should take you to the hospital."

I nodded and let out a sigh. We all got up and left the house. The five of us would fit in Marilyn's car, so that's who's car we took. Whatever had been going on the rest of the day stopped when we got to the car but continued on and off through the ride there. To be honest, I was scared and had never been so scared during my entire life.

It took ten minutes to get there. When we did get there, we didn't go to the emergency room part of the hospital, we went to the women and children building or whatever the place was called. It wasn't very crowded there, which I was completely happy about. Honestly, I'd never been so happy to be at the hospital in my life.

As soon as we got there, because of the place not being crowded, everything happened really quickly. Marilyn, Candy, Evie and Cherry had to wait outside whatever room where the doctors or nurses had me for a while. They did a few examinations and tests that were pretty uncomfortable, but this whole day had been uncomfortable for me so it didn't fully make a difference. The nurse said she had to do them, so I just dealt with it.

I was happy when Two-Bit came into the room they placed me in around five o'clock.

"Hey, Candy called me," he said when he walked into the room, "You doin' ok?"

I shrugged, 'I guess so... I'm just scared. I mean, what if something's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong and you're gonna be fine, alright?"

"How are you so sure?"

"Cause when I walked past I heard the nurses talking and the name Raina was mentioned and, no offense, but how many Raina's can be in the same area of the hospital?" Somehow, that managed to get me to smile.

A nurse knocked on the doorway and walked into the room.

"Hi, Raina. How are you doing? Any pain at all?" she asked with a smile.

I shrugged again. "I guess so."

"Is it more frequent than before?"

"Yeah."

The nurse nodded.

"Alright, I'll be back in a little while, just hang tight, ok?" She still had a smile on her face.

I nodded as she walked out.

"She was too perky," Two-Bit whispered when she reached the door, causing the both of us to laugh. I guess we were louder than we planned to be cause she looked back at us with a confused expression as she walked out and out of the room.

After a little while, any pain that I had was slowly but surely getting worse than it had been. A lot of times I had actually doubled over on the bed on my side, my hand clutching my stomach. The only thing that made it somewhat better was that Two-Bit was sitting in the chair next to my bed, both of his hands tight on my left hand.

The nurse came back into the room a little ten o'clock. "I have some good news for you too," she smiled and looked like she was about to explode.

"What's goin' on?" Two-Bit asked and looked at her.

"You're going to have the baby soon! If not in the next few hours, at least tomorrow"

.....September 1, 1972 at 5:37am......

"What should we name him?" Two-Bit asked quietly.

I shrugged, "I don't know... well, when I was little- before I met all of you- I always dreamed that when I got married I would name y first boy after his dad."

He gave a look that both was questioning yet smiling at the same time. 'You wanna name him after me?"

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, kinda."

"Keith Mathews Junior?"

"I like it... but maybe we can call him something else, like a nickname. Cause you still react to Keith sometimes cause of your mom and Keilah."

"Then like what?"

"Maybe... KJ?"

He smiled, "I like it."

He left the room and went to the phone that was in the hallway to call a few people. I knew he was going to call Keilah and his mom, the immediate family. Then he was probably gonna call our unofficial family- for some reason, when we all got legal, we all started to call each other that. Though knowing them, when he called Candy, she probably would freak out and say she wanted to call everyone else about the whole thing. She would've done it within five minutes, or at most ten to fifteen cause it wasn't even six in the morning yet.

He came back into the room about ten minutes later, looking like he was gonna start laughing. "Ok," he started, "So I called Candy and when I told her you had the baby, she screamed into the phone then kept screaming while she said she wanted to be the one to call everyone else."

See- I told you so.

I chuckled then looked down at the baby in my arms while Two-Bit walked over. "Welcome to our family, KJ," he smiled then kissed his forehead then mine.

Awwwwwwwwwww. How cute was that, oh my gahd.

Ok, like I said, for some rason when I was writing this in my notebook it was awkward.

Oh! I meant to say- so I went to the Elvis Presley impersonator with my mom's cousins and their two grandkids and it was amazing oh my gahd. The dude was named Tony Grova and he's 58. But he had some 19 year old kid- Anthony Duke- open up for him and his voice was amazerful, oh my gahd. The thing is that my little cousins on the way back started calling him my boyfriend just cause I thought he was cute and a good singer then my mom's cousins kept saying about him being my future husband and I was so pissed yet I wasn't cause I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have a slight crush on him but anyway!

Hope you liked this chapter, sorry about delays cause of the end of the school year and welcome little KJ! :D peace from all the hippies of the world!
