The love between Fallon and Liam continues to grow over the years, but what if there was something...or someone that would tie her and Culhane together forever?
This collection of one-shots captures the adventures of Fallon, Liam, Culhane, and a spe...
OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS HURTS!", Fallon yelled at a tired Liam.
Liam was rubbing her back to help alleviate the incredible pain she was in. "I know babe, just try the breathing-"
"Don't tell me what to do Liam", she shot him a glare which soon turned to wincing as she fought through another contraction.
"Fallon, he's just trying to help. I know you're in pain, but if I were you I'd be nice to the man helping to make you feel better through all of this" Alexis said from the corner of the room flipping through a fashion magazine. It was a last minute decision allowing Alexis in the delivery room and Fallon was already regretting it as she clearly wasn't much support.
Fallon rolled her eyes. "Seriously? You've gone through this twice before and that's your advice? Where's the fucking nurse..tell her I want the drugs."
Alexis shrugged and continued to look through her chosen source of entertainment.
"Fal, remember you wanted to go natural?" Liam asked as he was told several times before to remind her whenever she asked for medication to turn them down.
"Well, clearly that was before I was in pain!" She whimpered as the pain of yet another contraction took over her body.
Liam, almost sorry he asked, was now about to give in and let her get the epidural. Fallon in labor was a whole other level of sass and he wasn't sure how much more he could take. He was still trying to make sense of the situation before him; the woman he loved is about to give birth to another man's baby. And as if on cue, the other man who once claimed Fallon's heart walked into the room.
"I'm here, I'm here! Sorry I'm late, the plane was -"
"Late for what Michael? Your daughter isn't here yet, if anything she's the one who's late."
"I don't think I could forgive myself for missing this" Culhane said as he walked to the side of the bed. "How are you feeling?"
"There's a human squeezing her way out of me, I've never been better." she said through gritted teeth.
"Well I see you're still the same, so that's a good sign." The nurse walks in and Fallon demands she receive the epidural. After checking Fallon's progress, the nurse informs her that she is far enough along to get the relief she's been longing for.
"Fal, are you sure you want the drugs?" Liam hesitantly asks, already aware of what her answer will be.
"YES, I want it Liam" Fallon contorts.
"I say give her the drugs." Culhane adds, who is only assuming what's to come if she refuses it.
Liam rolls his eyes, already annoyed at his presence. There is no denying the awkward atmosphere in the room.
"Okay, I'll be right back with the anesthesiologist to get you all set up!" the chipper nurse replied.
Fallon gives the nurse a fake smile and waits for her to leave the room before rolling her eyes. "Ugh. Why is she so happy, kill me already."
Liam turns to Culhane. "Just so you know, Fallon had planned on no drugs for this."
"I'm sure she did, but we know that she gets what she wants in the end. So, if she wants the drugs now, save the arguing and just give her the drugs." Culhane responds as if it was common sense.
"Ohhh my God, as if labor isn't painful enough, I can't sit through both of you going back and forth." Fallon whines.
For fear of what was to come if they continued their bickering, they supported Fallon in silence through the contractions as the nurse returned and the anesthesiologist administered the needle in her back. They both offered hands to hold and back rubs as the drugs set in and watched Fallon doze off for a suggested nap as it could be another several hours. Culhane and Liam decided to take a break as she slept to grab a cup of coffee to prepare for the long night ahead. Alexis offered to stay behind with Fallon while they were gone.
As they were about to enter back into the delivery room, Liam stopped at the door. "You know, in the beginning, I wasn't sure this was going to work."
Culhane turned to look at Liam, confused at what he was referring to, "What do you mean?"
"This whole baby thing...her and I. I was worried we wouldn't get through it. How could I love her and a baby who wasn't mine."
"You also don't think it was weird for me? How do I let go of a future with the woman I trusted and loved for so many years? And now I have to watch her raise my child with another man? Yea, I can say I had my doubts too."
Liam was quiet for a second. "I guess we've both been through it."
Culhane nods in agreement, "Fallon will do that to you." They both chuckle. "But you know, when I knew it was time to let her go?" He paused. "It was the way she looked at you. It had been a while since I had seen her that happy. I knew you both were meant to be. Accepting your relationship and our new reality wasn't easy and I can only assume the journey ahead won't be short of it either, but I'm sure of the love that we all share for this little girl who is about to enter this world."
Liam nods in agreement. Neither of them could have imagined a moment where they would come to a consensus on respecting their feelings for Fallon.
"Hey man, I promise to respect the relationship from here on out. But I will warn you, if anything happens to my baby girl, I'm coming for ya."
Liam chuckles, "Well that's understandable. And I promise to protect them both forever and always."
Culhane holds out a hand to shake on it when the door to the room opens. An annoyed Alexis looks at both of them, "Good! I was just about to send security to find the both of you. I mean how long does it take to get coffee?! She woke up and says she feels pressure. I need one of you ..or both to help, because I'm clearly not cut out for this."
"You both better get your asses in here and help me get this baby out!" They could hear Fallon scream in the background.
They look at each other and shrug. Liam gestures for Culhane to enter first "You heard her, let's go have a baby."
