Dr. Hunter comes in and checks her.

Dr. Hunter: "Gracie, it's time to push. I'm going to need most people out; Justice can stay. Two others can stay. Who?"

Gracie: "Olivia and Rhonda."

She needed her "Mom" and "sister." Everyone left the room.

Gracie: "I feel so bad."

Justice: "They understand, Babe."

Gracie: "Your Mom should be here."

Dr. Hunter: "I will make an exception for her. Susie get Mrs. Badeaux so we can get started."

Susie goes and gets Belle.

Justice: "Thank you, Dr. Hunter."

Dr. Hunter: "I've seen the news. I know What's she's been through. I didn't even want to make her choose."

Mrs. Badeaux: "Thank you for letting me come in."

Gracie: "I'm so sorry, Belle."

Mrs. Badeaux: "Honey, you needed the two you chose. I don't hold It against you. I'm here now."

Olivia and Rhonda were on the left side. Belle and Justice the one the right.

Dr. Hunter: "Ok, so the two strongest I need at the top."

Justice and Belle switch places, and Olivia was already at the top.

Dr. Hunter: "Each of you grab a hand. One the count of three, I need a big push, Gracie."

Dr. Hunter: "1."

Dr. Hunter: "2."

Dr. Hunter: "3. Push Gracie."

They wait a bit.

Dr. Hunter: "I can see his head. I need another push, just like the one you just did. Push for me, Gracie."

Gracie pushes.

Dr. Hunter: "His heads out; give me another one, Gracie. Go ahead, push."

Gracie pushes.

Dr. Hunter: "One more."

Gracie repeats.

They hear him cry.

Dr. Hunter: "Dad, do you want to cut the cord?"

Justice cuts JJ's chord. All four women are crying.

Dr. Hunter: "Gracie, I need one more push to get everything out."

Gracie pushes.

Dr. Hunter: "Great job."

The nurses clean JJ up and hand him to Gracie.

Dr. Hunter: "He's adorable."

Gracie: "Thank you."

Gracie holds him for a while.

Susie: "We have to take him to get him weighed and stuff."

Gracie hands JJ to Justice. He kisses his head and gives him to Susie.
