XO POV

I was getting closer to the due date with every day that passed. I was officially huge, and my back was killing me. I was hanging out at Stacey's apartment with her, Ursula, and Fiona while Ronny was at school. After he admitted that he lost his job, we brainstormed what Ronny could do. Finally he said that he had always liked working at the bar and wanted to run his own one day. Now he was getting his Masters in Business and Marketing. I was so proud of him, and in the meantime he got a part time job working at another bar. 

I laid against the couch on a pillow. "Have you picked out any names yet?" Ursula asked. 

"No, we want to wait until we meet her." I replied. 

"I like that." Stacey replied. I pushed myself up slowly and waddled to the bathroom. 

When I got up, I felt something trickle down my leg. I looked down, "Holy crap." I whispered. 

"What?" The three asked unanimously, concern on their faces. 

"I think my water broke." I said. 

"Oh my god!" Stacey exclaimed.

"We have to get you to the hospital!" Ursula said, and the three of them escorted me into Stacey's car. 

We sped off, I was hyperventilating. I pulled out my phone and called Ronny. He didn't answer but texted me back a few minutes later. 'Ronny: Hey I'm in class.. Is there an emergency?' I quickly texted back 'Xo: I'm in labor. With Stace, Urs, and Fi, heading to the hospital now. Meet us there!" 

RONNY POV  

"Holy Shit!" I yelled after reading Xo's text. 

Everyone turned to look at me, and the old professor looked unamused. "Problem?" He asked. 

"So sorry sir, family emergency." I apologized. I ran out of the building and into my car, speeding as fast as I possibly could. 

I parked my car crookedly but I could care less if it was towed. I ran inside frantically. "My girlfriend, my girlfriend is having a bbabby." I stuttered anxiously. 

"Third floor, maternity unit." The secretary instructed me. I quickly thank him and run up the stairs. 

I soon get escorted to Xo's rooms where I find her dressed in a hospital gown, pacing back and forth. Stacey, Ursula, and Fiona were already in there with her. "Thank God you're here!" Fiona stated. "I think she crushed a few bones in my hand on the way over her." Fiona muttered jokingly. 

"Ha ha," Xo sarcastically said. 

I walked over to my girlfriend, "So what has been happening so far?" I asked her. 

"Well the doctor said I'm not dilated enough yet for the epidural. But it hurts so fucking bad." She complained, rubbing her back with one hand. I gently moved her hand and started rubbing her back softly. She moaned, "Thank you." She said to me. "Stacey, Ursula, and Fiona, thank you so much for your help. I love you. I think it might be a while so if you want get rest and come back later it's fine." She told her friends. 

They all nodded, "Okay, Ronny keep us posted." Stacey instructed him. He nodded and the three girls hugged Xo before they headed out. 

XO POV

I was in so much pain right now. I got down on the bed and Ronny pulled up a seat beside me. He held my hand and rubbed his thumbs over my knuckles. The doctor came in a few minutes later. "Hey Ronny," The doctor greeted. 

She then turned to me, "Okay let's have another look." She said. 

A moment later she looked up, "Okay we can now give you an epidural and after that kicks in we can officially start trying to push." She said excitedly. 

I smiled and so did Ronny, "Ready to meet our daughter?" He asked me, and I could only smile, he leaned forward and kissed my forehead.

---BREAK----

"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!! SCREW YOU RONNY, YOU DID THIS TO ME!" I screamed in pure pain as I squeezed his hand as tight as I could, pushing as the doctor encouraged me too. 

"You're doing good love, just keep pushing." Ronny encourage me sweetly. He gently pushed the hairs that clung to my sweaty face. 

After a hard push, I had a small break. "Sorry Ron, this just hurts." I apologized to him. He gave a slight smile. 

"I know it looks painful. I'd switch places with you if I could." He said. 

"Liar." I whispered with a smirk. 

RONNY POV

I had called my parents and now they, along with Stacey, Ursula, and Fiona were sitting in the waiting room. I was now out there to tell them the news. Our daughter was here and healthy. They all stood up as they saw me come. I took a deep breath, "Are you ready to meet our daughter?" I asked them. They all cheered, and we quietly slid into the room. 

I sat on the side of the bed, wrapping my arm around Xo's shoulder, who was carrying our daughter. Xo was exhausted, her hair tied in a bun, rings around her makeup-less eyes. "Awww." Everyone cooed at once. Xo and I smiled proudly, she was beautiful; all 6 pounds, 19 inches of her. 

"What's her name?" My mother asked curiously. 

We looked at each other, and she nudged me to tell them, 

"Everyone meet Grace Ann Newton."
