JASMINE SCREAMED IN AGONY as she gripped Anthony's hand a little harder each time she pushed. Izzy watched from the corner of the room. For almost twenty four hours it had been like this.

Jasmine would push for a while, and the doctor would say, "Alright, that's enough for now, let's wait a little bit and see where you're at. We don't want to hurt you or the baby."

But this time was different. Izzy perked her head up to watch Jasmine. She was screaming and pushing as hard as she could, with Anthony by her side chanting, "Come on baby! You can do it! You're doing great!"

"Hey, Anthony," Jasmine said, wincing after she had finished a round of pushing.

"Yes, babe?" Anthony asked, tucking a strand of hair behind Jasmine's ear.

"Can we name the baby Little Bitch?" Jasmine asked. "Because this hurts like hell."

Anthony shook his head and laughed. "We are not naming our child Little Bitch."

"Yeah," Izzy piped up. "Could you imagine the first day of school?" She asked as she imitated a teacher. "Sally Quinn? Here. Uh...Little Bitch Ramos? I'm here."

Anthony was cracking up with laughter as Jasmine glared at him.

"You wanna see her really get mad?" he whispered to Izzy. "Watch this."

Anthony leaned in close to Jas and said, "How bout when I get back we all strip down to our socks?"

"Hell no!" Jasmine yelled. "I'm not going through this again. A human bean is coming out of me and there's nothing I can do about it!"

Izzy was dying of laughter when the doctor walked in.

"Alright," the doctor said. "About two or three more big pushes and your baby will be here."

"Let's do this," Jasmine said.

Izzy watched as the nurse started counting while Jasmine pushed and screamed. Four minutes later, the room was overcome with relief as the cry of a baby was heard.

"Oh-oh my god!" Jasmine said, bursting into tears. "That's my baby!"

Anthony was overcome with emotion as well, as he broke down and hugged Jasmine. "That's our baby!"

"Congratulations," the doctor said, smiling. "It's a girl."
