I got a request (that I will write) but it inspired me for this imagine, and i just thought it'd be cute when Joe becomes a dad and at the hospital.
Unedited of course

   You were nine months pregnant and in labor in the back of David Harbour's car.

   You and your husband of 4 years, Joe were in Atlanta Florida. He was currently filming season 4 of Stranger Things, and you were about 7 months pregnant when Joe would have to fly out. So you were able to fly still, so Joe made sure to take you to Atlanta Georgia with him, since he'd be filming for a while and wanted you by his side the whole time.

   And thank God you were.

   "Jesus fuck I think my water just broke." You gasped as you felt a sharp pain and liquid leak down your leg. You were in the hair and makeup trailer standing against the wall as Joe, Dacre, Natalia, Charlie and David we're getting ready.

   Another wave of pain hit your abdomen and you grabbed the couch beside you, Everyone turning around and heading towards you. "Are you okay?" Joe asked completely panicked. "The baby's coming Joe.. he's- Holy shit!" You yelled at the intense pain. Dacre and Joe grabbed you from either side while Natalia opened the door for the boys to lead you out.

   The pain was unbearable, it felt like you were getting punched in the gut. "Should we call an ambulance?!" Charlie asked, making you shake your head, "No it's rush hour they'll take too long." You said feeling the pain subside slightly before it hit you again. "Oh my god." You cry out, squeezing Joe and Dacre's hands.

   The six kids Noah, Millie, Finn, Caleb, Gaten and Sadie came running out of their trailer after hearing the cry. "What's happening?!" Sadie asked, seeing you wincing as Dacre and Joe held you up.

   "She's in labor." Natalia explained, the kids gasping and going to You to make sure you were okay. "Guys I love you but please get away from me," you said to the kids, the six of them nodding and stepping back.  "someone take me to the fucking hospital!" You yelled out in pain. "It's okay baby, breathe just breathe, how are we gonna get there?" Joe asked, obviously panicking. "We'll take my car, I'll pull it up be right back!" David yelled, before running off to get his car.

   "Do you want to sit down?" Dacre asked, you nodded eagerly and Charlie went inside the trailer quickly and came out running with a chair, putting it behind you, both Joe and Dacre helping you sit down. "Joe it hurts so much." You said as your eyes brimmed with tears from the pain. Joe's heart broke at the sight of you in so much pain. "I know baby, but hey just think about it, in a couple hours we'll be holding our little son, and all of this will be over." Joe asked trying to calm you down, but it didn't work. "Joe I just wanna stop feeling this!" You sighed groaning from another contraction.

   "David's outside!" Natalia informed, Dacre and Joe grabbing you again and getting you to the car as fast as you can. You sat in the back with Joe, while Dacre and David took the front.

   David drove as fast as he could, dodging cars left and right, hoping and praying that he didn't get pulled over. The hospital was about 20 minutes away, but with David's driving and luck of not getting pulled over, it only took 10.

   Even though the time was cut in half it was still the longest drive in your life. It consisted of you crying and yelling of pain, and you having a low pain tolerance did not help at all as you might imagine.

  Joe on the other hand was holding your hand and doing breathing exercises with you, mainly to help him out more than you.

   David pulled up to emergency care and stopped in front of the door, Dacre running out and into the hospital to get a doctor and a wheel chair. Joe opened the door and jumped out, grabbing your hand and trying to get you out, a nurse with a wheel chair came running out with Dacre behind her.

   "Here ma'am have a seat." The nurse said, Joe helping her sit down. The nurse rushed inside, "dad follow me, everyone else wait in the waiting room."
That was when Joe kind of realized what was actually happening. It hit him like a train.

He was going to be a dad.

The pair got a hospital room, they hooked you up and changed you in a gown. "Do you feel like you need to push?" The midwife asked, you shook your head. "No just contractions." You informed, the midwife nodding "How far apart are they?" She asked as she wrote something down. "Five minutes I think." You said, the midwife nodding and writing it down. "How you feeling dad?" The midwife asked turning to Joe who sighed loudly, "Freaking out a bit, but at least she didn't have the baby in the car." He said, the midwife laughing and shaking her head, "Yes, she's in good hands now." The midwife informed, before walking out leaving the couple alone.

"It's really happening." Joe muttered turning towards you with a small smile. You nodded and sighed mentally preparing yourself for whats about to happen. You knew this was going to hurt like hell, but it'd all be worth it.

2 hours later

You were still in labor. The contractions though were much closer together, being at two minutes apart. You were 9cm. Dilated and the OB came in beginning to prepare everything.

Joe was outside in the waiting room while you rested trying to energize yourself before the big moment.

Meanwhile Joe was freaking out to David, "What if I drop him?!" Joe exclaimed, thinking of the hundreds of possibilities. "What if he doesn't like me?" He asked David who rolled his eyes and tried to calm Joe down. "Joe! It's your son! Of course he's gonna love you. You won't drop him, I promise." David said, Joe sighing loudly and muttering possibilities under his breath.

"Dad, she's ready to push." A nurse said coming in to the waiting room, Joe turning towards her. The cast cheered and encouraged Joe. "Tell her we said good luck." "She's gonna do so good" the cast said. Joe sighed shakily and followed the nurse to the room, seeing you laying there breathing deeply, trying to fight the urge to push.

"Okay dad, Go ahead and hold her hand." The OB instructed lifting up the blanket up to your knees.

Joe grabbed a hold of your hand, and squeezed it encouragingly. "Good luck baby, I love you." He whispered, kissing your forehead. "Okay, get ready to push, in three..two..one." You pushed.

And man did it hurt. You cried from the pain barely at the first push, feeling like your insides were tearing out. "Okay, and rest." She said, you stopping and sighing from relief, breathing to prepare to push again. Joe was in absolute awe at how much of a champ she was and how well she was doing.

"Okay here we go, one two push."

You pushed again, harder. It hurt so much more, you squeezed Joe's hand. He squeezed it back and kissed your cheek. This was really happening.

"Heads out, two more hard pushes and he's out." The OB said encouragingly. You pushed again, harder. This was for your son.

That's when you heard the cry.

"Oh my god." Joe said, tears rolling down his cheeks at the beautiful sound. "One more mommy, one more." The OB said, the cry of your son was the only thing you focused on during the last push.

You pushed for the last time and you felt a pressure be released.

Your son was out.

"Dad wanna cut the umbilical cord?" The nurse asked handing Joe scissors. Joe grabbed them and looked at the baby in the doctors hands in awe, he cut the chord and the OB and nurses wrapped him in his blanket and handed him to you. You cried at the beautiful sound and the beautiful baby.

This was your son.

"Holy crap, you did it. I love you." Joe said in awe looking at his baby and holding his little hand.

This was one hundred percent the best day of your life.
