The Outsiders-Steve Randle,Love at first Sight

Welcome to the World

Sydni's POV

Keaton Dale McCoy. 7 pounds 8 ounces. 17 inches long. Born at 6:15 p.m.

You don't truly understand the meaning of love until the doctor lays a baby in your arms. It's truly love at first sight. The hours of pain are forgotten. The 9 months of horror are in the past. The only thing missing is my husband. He's probably almost to camp by now. I'll have to write him and tell him. I'm glad we decided on a name before he left.

Keaton is perfect. He has Thomas' nose and mouth. He has my eyes and ears. He's a perfect mixture of us. My good and his good all in one little bundle.

Since Thomas couldn't be here I made Shelby come in the room with me.

-Flashback-

"Ohh...that's a big needle." Shelby said as she watched them out the needle on my spine. She fainted on the floor. The nurses swarmed her.
"Hey! Woman in labor here! Leave her ass on the floor!" I yelled. They sit Shelby in a chair and give her a wet rag. They finally come back to me.

"So much blood..." Shelby said. She went pale....again. A nurse grabbed her from behind and sat her down.
"Pansy!" I said.
"I'm never having kids." She said.
"You're pregnant." I reminded her.
"Fuck." She muttered.

-end of flashback-

It was...interesting.
"I wanna hold him!" Shelby whined.
"Not until you sanitize your hands."
"Don't be one of those moms."
"You mean the caring and good kind?"
"No, I mean the psycho kind."
"Too late."

The rest of the girls and Pony and Dally came in.
"He's so cute!!" Lauren cooed.
"I want one!'' Skylar said.
"Great. Baby fever." Dally groaned.
"No you don't. The needle was this big.'' Shelby said using her hands to show Skylar the length of the needle.
"And the blood! You can have my baby for me!'' Shelby added.
"But look how cute it is!" Skylar awed and came closer.
"It?" I said.
"He." She corrected herself.
"I don't want one. Forget that. I'll just hold yours and Shelby's." Ashley said.
"Good. Keep it that way." Lauren patted her back.
"Why don't you want kids?" Pony asked her.
"Because they stink."
"But..." Pony went to say.
"Stop right there. Don't talk about babies with the sister right here.'' Dally advised him.

Meanwhile Shelby was sitting in a chair being quiet. Which wasn't normal for her.
"Shelby? Are you okay?" I asked her.
"Yeah."
"Shelby, you're a fucking liar."
"And you're a potty mouth."
"Shelby."
"I-I-I just want Steve to come home. I want to tell him about the baby. I want him to be here with me through it all. I want to experience like a normal person. But I can't." Oh no. Pregnancy hormones.
"I know. I want Thomas here too. But you can't stress about it. It's not good for the baby. If Steve was here he'd tell you the same thing. You have the DX to live on. And you'll have your career soon. Just finished college. Maybe I can move up there and we can get an apartment together. And Haley can move in with us too. It'll be perfect." I assured her.
"Yeah. That would be good. And we can come back here on the weekends."
"Yeah. Christmas Break, Spring Break, Easter Break, and summer. And the boys will be back home from training soon."
"I know. But I miss them. I need Greg and Blake."
"Everyone needs a Greg and Blake in their life. But you gut the only ones. You don't know how lucky you are to have a family that cares."
"I am pretty lucky I guess."

That night Shelby said she would stay with me. She's sleeping on the couch. I held Thomas for a little longer before the nurse took him for the night.
"Your daddy would love you. You're so perfect. He'll be home soon." I whispered to him. He was starting to fall asleep. I hope I'm a better mom than mine. My mom loves me I know but she was never their for me. Never understood me. Thomas will be a great dad but I'm scared how good I'll be.

Only time will tell what my baby will will be or what our family will be....
