Chapter 9

4 Months Later.

I wake up and decide that I want to go for a walk. I sit up, as much as I can, with this huge stomach, and grab my pillow. I roll out of bed, to Tobias's side, and slap him with the pillow. I got the hard one, too.

"Tobias! I want to go for a walk!!" I say. "Fine." He says, getting up, knowing that if he refused, he wouldn't get any cuddles later.

Tobias comes out ready to go, and we head to the dining hall. I am so hungry. I have been craving muffins and chocolate cake for the past 6 months. But, then again, when you're eating for four people, you have to eat a lot!

We are halfway to the dining hall, walking over the chasm, when I feel a sharp, stabbing pain in my stomach.

"Tobias." I manage to get out. "Wh-Oh my God!" I look down, and see a puddle of water on the grey rocks, making them look almost black.

Tobias picks me up bridal style and runs me to the infirmary, where I will give birth. He opens up the door and screams: "SOMEBODY HELP MY WIFE! SHE'S IN LABOR!!!"

I am put on a gurney and wheeled away. Tobias is by my side the whole time. He is so supportive.

5 Hours Later.

"Mrs. Eaton. You're going to have to push!" The doctor says, and she checks down there. "1...2...3!" She shouts, and I push. I push so hard, I'm screaming, and Tobias's face is scrunched, since he is holding my hand.

After about 10 pushes, I hear a cry. The doctors take it away, and tell me to continue to push. As I'm pushing, I hear a doctor yell: "It's a Girl!"

I push 6 more times, and the second is out. The pain is still there. "It's a Girl." The doctor shouts.

"Push!" The doctor yells. I push 7 more times, and the third is out The pain has disappeared now. "It's a Boy!" The other doctor yells. I smile, and look at Tobias, who is examining his hand.

"Sorry about your hand." I say. "Hey, it might have hurt, but it was worth it." He says, reassuringly. I smile, and lean my head back down on the pillow.

Minutes later, the doctors come back with a baby in a turquoise blue blanket, and two babies in hot pink blankets. I look at Tobias, who's crying. "Mr. And Mrs. Eaton, you have given birth to three healthy children!" A doctor says, smiling.

I take the baby in pink, and smile.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but what would you like to name them?" A doctor asks.

I look at Tobias and say "I would like to name the boy Hunter Ray Eaton." I say, and Tobias says "I would like to name this girl Olivia Rose Eaton." And he smiles. we both say "We would like to name this girl Madison Kate Eaton." We are a family.

A few seconds later, another doctor comes to take a family photo. We smile, and Tobias kisses my cheek. SNAP! The photo was pulled up on a screen not a second later. It looks beautiful.

At the bottom, it says EATON

In big, black letters. I look at Tobias and smile. We are officially a family.
