"Jessie."

"If you didn't come in here to tell me I can have an epidural then you can go back out." She said looking at Susan.

"Someone's feisty tonight."

"Please just check me."

Susan put her gloves on and walked over to Jessica to check her cervix.

"You're at a 7, so you can get an epidural."

"Thank the heavens." Jessica said.

"Feeling better Jessie?" Sarah asked.

"Much! I can't feel from my waist down."

"Do you want another popsicle?" Sophie offered.

"Yes, please."

"Okay, I'll be right back. Come with me Darl."

"I'm going to come too." Sarah said, following them out the room.

Micheal stared over at Jessica.

"What?" She asked looking at him.

"I don't know, I'm just super excited of the thought of a little brother."

"Well, he's definitely coming."

"It's crazy how much our lives shave changed these past few months."

"I agree." Jessica said.

"Ooh that's a big one." Danny said, watching the monitor.

"I think I'm ready to push." Jessica said, moving in hopes of making the pressure ease up.

Danny pressed the nurse button.

Sophie walked back in with Jessica popsicle and Jessica's face lit up.

"Oh have I ever told you how much I love you Sophie?"

"Only everyday since this pregnancy has begun." Sophie said, making Danny chuckle.

"She tends to be extra loving when pregnant."

"I'm always sweet." Jessica said, pouting.

"Mhm."

"You're the reason we're here right now, you broke my water."

"How did h-..... oh gross." Micheal said making a face at them, which made Sophie, Sarah and Darlene lose it.

"What? We have sex."

"Still nasty."

"Knock knock. I heard you think you might be ready to push?" Susan said walking in.

"Yes, check me."

Susan checked her cervix again and nodded her head.

"Yeah, he's right there. Look down here papa." Danny stood up and looked down between Jessica's legs.

"Awe Jessie, he has a head full of dark hair!"

"Let me see!" Sarah said poking her head down,

"His hair is dark!"

"Aww my baby!" Jessica said, tearing up

"Whenever you're ready to push, push, okay?"

"Okay."

Jessica felt the urge to push and did so.

"Okay Jessica, give me another strong push."

Jessica pushed as hard as she could. Darlene and Sophie held Jessica's hand and Micheal held her other one as Danny rubbed her thigh, watching their sons head begin to appear more and more.

"One more."

Jessica pushed again, her face going red as she did so. Danny watched as his son's head began to slide out.

"I think this is the last one."

Jessica pushed again and heard the cry of her baby boy. As they sat him on her chest, she began to feel woozy. Everything began to look fuzzy.

"Jessica? Honey stay with me. Call a code blue." Susan said to a nurse.
