Athena and the 118 race to save lives after a drunk driver causes a deadly pile-up going the wrong way on the freeway and are shocked to discover who two of the injured are. Meanwhile, Maddie is determined to finish her shift before going into labour. Hen and Eddie fight to bring Ashleigh's heartbeat back when she flatlines... Hen and Karen are heartbroken as Nia prepares to be reunited with her birth mother.

Maddie and Chimney were asleep in bed...

Maddie woke up holding her stomach, groaning lightly.

"Ooh." Maddie whispered.

"I'm awake. I'm awake." Chimney muttered, shooting awake and falling off the bed, groaning lightly.

Maddie stared at Chimney.

"I'm awake. I'm awake. Is it time?" Chimney asked.

"No." Said Maddie.

Maddie shakes her head, lying back down, and Chimney throws his head on the bed.

*42 weeks, 1 day pregnant...*

Chimney and Maddie were in the kitchen...

Chimney stood there with his mouth open, seeing her drink the soup from the bowl.

"What?" Maddie asked, frowning at him.

"You just chugged a quart of hot and sour soup." Said Chimney.

"Let's bring on this labour. Ooh." Maddie mumbled, putting her hands on her stomach.

"Is it time?" Chimney asked.

"Yes. Too pee, again." Maddie tells Chimney.

*42 weeks, 2 days pregnant...*

Chimney was packing the hospital bag...

"Hey, Chim, get in here." Maddie said.

"I'm coming!" Chimney shouted, throwing the baby vest and running into the living room. "Is it time? Maddie?"

Chimney finds Maddie in front the couch doing yoga.

"Oh. Did the yoga work?" Chimney asked.

"I'm stuck. Can you help me up, please?" Asked Maddie.

Chimney laughed lightly, pulling her up.

"Whoever said that good things come to those who wait was a liar, or at least maybe more patient than I am right now." Maddie mumbled.

"So far, we've tried pineapple, raspberry tea, spicy foods, and now exercise. What did Ash say was next?" Chimney asked.

"Ash said sex." Maddie tells Chimney.

"What?" Chimney asked, staring at Maddie seeing her remove her dress.

Maddie threw her dress at Chimney.

"Oh, why didn't Ash say to start with that one?" Chimney asked, muttering lowly and following her into the bedroom.

*42 weeks, 3 days pregnant...*

Chimney and Maddie were in the back of a car while Ash drove...

"Ash, will you please go faster?!" Chimney asked, shouting loudly.

"I am obeying the posted speed regulations! Buck will kill me if I crash this car! Damn, I wish I had my ambulance!" Ashleigh shouted, staring at the road.

"How are you doing?" Chimney asked.

"Honestly, I don't want to jinx it, but I sort of thought it'd hurt more. These contractions aren't even that painful." Maddie murmured, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well, maybe you're just that much tougher than the average mama bear." Chimney tells Maddie.

"Or she's not even going into labour." Ashleigh whispered, pulling up outside the hospital.

"Today's the day." Maddie said, smiling widely at Ashleigh.

A while later, Maddie and Chimney walked out of the hospital, finding Ashleigh still there...

"Today is not the day." Maddie tells Ashleigh.

"Yeah, I didn't think so
