Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-30-

    "One day what?", Sal asks. Larry smiles again. "I'm gonna marry you.", Larry says. Sal rests his head against Larry's chest. "I cant wait for that day.", Sal says. They both smile.
   Larry rubs Sal's back. Sal feels a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen. He feels like he wet his pants. His eyes grow wide. "L-Larry...", Sal says. "What's wrong?", Larry asks. The contractions get worse.
    "Either I just peed my pants or...", Sal pauses. "Or what, Blue?", Larry asks. Sal looks up at Larry. "My water broke...", Sal says. It takes a second for Larry to process.

    He grabs Todd and Ashley. "Sal's water broke.", he tells them. Sal clenches to his stomach. The contractions are closer together. Larry calls Lisa and Henry immediately. He tells them Sal's water broke.
    Lisa and Henry immediately leave to the school. As they pull up, the quad come out, holding Sal up. "Larry, Sal, in the car.", Lisa says. Larry helps Sal get into the car. They take off.
    They rush to the hospital. As they pull up, Larry carries Sal into the hospital. Larry cries out for help. Doctors and Nurses come rushing to them. Larry has flashbacks.

    Flashbacks to the day in the Treehouse. The day Sal tried to kill himself by slitting his arms. The day he carried Sal into the hospital. The day Sal confessed he loved Larry.
    The nurses take Sal from Larry. Larry tries to follow but nurses hold him back. "I'm the father! Hes going into labor!", Larry says. "You're the father?", a nurse asks. "Yes. I'm the father.", Larry cries again.
    They take him back with Sal. They make him put on scrubs. He pulls his hair back into a messy bun. Henry and Lisa come. "Are you ready?", Lisa asks.

    Larry takes a deep breath and nods. "I'm scared but I couldn't be any happier, mom.", Larry says. Lisa kisses Larry's forehead. "Tell me when the baby is here.", She says. "I will.", Larry says.
    they get Sal changed into a hospital gown. They hook him up to different machines. They bring Larry into the room. They get everything ready. They keep an eye on Sal and monitor his contractions.
   Larry sits next Sal. He holds Sal's hand. "Larry... I'm scared.", Sal says. Larry kisses Sal's hands. "I'm right here. I will be right here every step of the way.

    I'm scared too, Blue but we will get through this, Together.", Larry says. "Thank you, Lar...", Sal says. "For what, Blue?", Larry asks. "For everything. Being by my side through all of this.
    Putting yourself in harm's way to protect me. All of it. Thank you.", Sal says. Larry smiles. "I'd do anything for you, Sal. I'd give my last dying breath to you. I'd die for you.", Larry says.
    A single tear runs down Sal's face. He removes his prosthetic. Larry takes it from him and sets it aside. Sal squeezes Larry's hand. The contractions are picking up.

    Sal starts to push. Doctors and nurses rush in. "Okay, Sally, are you ready?", the doctor asks. Sal looks at Larry. He squeezes Larry's hand again. "Okay. Everyone get ready. Shes fully dilated.
   Start pushing, Sally.", The Doctor says. Sal begins to push. Sal squeezes Larry's hand with each push. "We can see the head.", the Doctor says. Sal keeps pushing. Sal screams as he pushes. Larry begins to panic.
    After a good while, a baby starts to cry. Larry kisses Sal on the forehead. Sal is tired and sweaty. The doctor holds the baby up. It's a girl.

    The doctors grab Larry. Larry cuts the Umbilical cord. The nurses clean the baby up and wraps her up. They hand her to Sal. Sal smiles and looks up at Larry. "We did it, Lar.
    We did it.", Sal says. Larry smiles, tears running down his face. "I'm gonna let Lisa and Henry know.", Larry says. He walks out of the room. Henry and Lisa stand up and rush to Larry.
   "Larbear, is everything okay?", Lisa asks. Larry nods. He hugs Lisa. "Its a girl.", Larry cries. Ashley and Todd come running towards Larry. "Is everything okay?", Ashley asks, sounding slightly panicked.

    Larry nods. "Its a girl.", Larry says. "Sal already delivered?", Todd asks. Larry nods. "I dont know when we can let people in but I came out real quick to let you all know.
    I need to run back in to make sure everything is okay.", Larry says. He walks back into the room. They have Sal nursing. Larry gets a better look at his daughter. He notices something.
   She has the same beauty mark he does. Under his right eye. "Sal, look. Shes mine.", Larry says, pointing out her matching beauty mark. "I knew shes was yours.", Sal says.
