Chapter Thirty-three
In the hospital they rush Bridget into an evaluation room. Andrew and Juliet have to wait until she's properly situated.
Bridget still thinks they are over reacting. She's not due for a couple of weeks.
Once Bridget is situated in a labor room to herself a doctor comes in.
"Mr and Mrs Martin I'm Dr. Green, the obgyn on call. Let's see what's going on shall we?" She says as she puts on a pair of sterile gloves.
Bridget is already hooked up to monitors and the babies heat beat seems loud.
"It looks like your about 6 centimeters dilated. It says here you've been experiencing pain since this morning. Get ready people your about to be parents." She says taking off her gloves.
"Doctor is the baby ok, is he under stress? " asks Andrew
She looks at the worried couple before she answers. "Everything seems to be in order, I'll contact your doctor. If for some reason your doctor can't be here, do you have a problem with me delivering you're child? "
They both answer at the same time, "no ". The doctor smiles and walks out of the room.
Chapter Thirty-four
Three hours later Andrew comes out of the delivery room to notify Juliet and Solomon that the baby was here and in perfect health. Bridget is doing well and is in high spirits. They were very happy. Andrew said he'd come get them when they move Bridget to a regular room to recover.
When Bridget is in her private room Andrew brings in Juliet and Solomon to see the new baby.
"How are you feeling Bridget?" Asked Solomon giving Bridget a hug.
"Tired and I feel relieved that there were no complications." She says.
"Congratulations mom! Technically this is your first child." Juliet says
"No Juliet, I became a mom when you came home from boarding school. I love you so much. Thank you for letting be your mother." With tears in her eyes she hugs Juliet.
"Can I hold my brother now?" She says with her arms out stretched.
Andrew picks the baby up from his crib and places him in her arms.
"Oh he is so beautiful. He sort of looks like porta and Regan, you know when they were born. How big was he?" She asks
"7lbs. 13 ounces. 21 in. Healthy baby." Andrew proudly says.
"Congratulations you guys. I'm so happy that everything worked out. I'm glad I was part of your happiness." Solomon says seriously.
"We couldn't have done it with out you, and we really appreciate all you have done for us and consider you a part of our family." Andrew says
"On that note we would like to ask the both of you to be his godparents."
Juliet jumps up and says, "Me, really. Oh my gosh! I'm going to be a God mother!"
"I would be honored." Says Solomon.
"Our family is now complete. This is the happiest day of my life. I don't think life can get any better." Bridget says
"This is the beginning of the rest of our lives, we won't waste our chance of making it the best we can. As long as we do it together." Andrew says
And that truly is the beginning of their lives...............
