"Owww..ooooooh...Vaughn!" Sydney yelped as she was walking along and another contraction came. Another older couple was in the hall, walking as well. The husband watched as Vaughn tried to do what the nurse attempted to demonstrate to him.
"Son...like this." The husband spoke up, showing Vaughn with his wife who started having a contraction herself. Vaughn watched and repeated it on Sydney and smiled when she groaned into his neck as she was gripping to him desperately.
"Ooooh..that's so much better!" Sydney grumbled, clutching the back of his shirts in tight fists.
"Thanks sir. See you've done this before." Vaughn mentioned.
"Fourth baby..and the LAST!" the man said.
"Wow! First for us." Vaughn answered.
"Congratulations and good luck!" the husband said, waving as Sydney and the wife wanted to keep walking. She continued leaning into Vaughn every time she had a contraction. After about 45 minutes of that, they were coming a little quicker and stronger so they decided to go back and get checked out.
"You're at a 6!" the nurse said as Sydney's water broke as well. Sydney's contractions were coming quicker and Vaughn's hand was probably broken by now, or so he thought.
"I want the epidural! Please!" Sydney begged as she breathed through yet another one, this one really intense.
"Please!" Vaughn begged too, practically cross-eyed and hating to see her in so much pain.
"Me too!" Irina begged, her eyes squeezed shut. She was at 5 ½ now and hers were all back labor, something she's never experienced with her first two babies. Jack tried to ease her comfort by massaging her back, but he wasn't much help anymore it seemed.
"Okay. A double spinal margarita coming up!" the nurse said going to get the anesthesiologist.
"I've never done a mother AND a daughter double epy before,..first time for everything." The anesthesiologist joked.
Another 20 minutes later and Sydney and her mother were smiling happily, gazing at 'Mr. God'.
"Vaughn, honey...I love you, but I'm revoking the engagement. I've decided I'm gonna marry THAT man right there!" Sydney said dreamily.
"Yeah..hope you don't mind Jack...I wanna divorce. He's my husband-to- be now!" Irina said waving as 'Mr. God' left laughing.
Now that they were comfortable, both mommy's-to-be got a long needed nap. An hour or so later Kendall poked his head in.
"Everything okay?" he asked, holding two teddy bears with t-shirts that had CIA printed on them.
"Yeah..they got their epidurals about an hour ago. We had to flip a coin to see who was going to get to marry the anesthesiologist." Sytory whispered. Both Jack and Vaughn were snoozing in their recliner chairs, holding their girls' hand.
"Yeah...I almost got served with divorce papers when our 2nd was born." Kendall joked, chuckling softly.
"These are for them. I'll be by when the two new ones make an entrance. My money's on Sydney; at least I'm still in the game." Kendall kidded as he left. About an hour later ((have I said that already? Oh, well, babies take time!!)) some monitors started beeping crazily from Irina's computer, waking everyone up. It was just hitting noon.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked panicked, looking at Irina to be sure she was okay, then glancing at the confusing machines. Nurses came in and started messing with the monitors.
"Mrs. Bristow, your baby's heart rate is dropping again. If it doesn't rise up, we may have to get this baby out. Do you understand?" the nurse explained.
"Yes, I may have a c-section. Do whatever you have to." Irina said as she gripped Jack's hand and stroked her belly with the other. They had Irina lay on her left side to place her in the best possible position for the baby. After 10 minutes of holding their breath, it still didn't come up.
"Okay, let's try something different. Put her on an oxygen mask and push the fluids." The doctor said. Once on the mask for a few minutes the rates started to level off again and Irina could feel herself relaxing again.
"Okay. Looks good now. I don't want to do a cesarean if it's possible. Looks like your baby's decided to do it on their own now." The doctor announced. Then he turned to Sydney.
"How's the Bristow daughter doing?" the doctor asked, not wanting to leave if he was going to be called back right away.
"I'm about to check her now." The nurse said.
"Ms. Bristow, do you feel any pressure building up? Even just a little, it's a sign that you're close, even though you can't feel anything to be able to tell." The doctor asked. Sydney nodded big time.
"Yeah..lots. For a little while now." She said, not knowing what it meant when she first felt it.
"Oh! Well...you're at a 10!! And +1..you're ready to go!" the nurse said surprised how fast she had progressed. Sydney looked wide-eyed at Vaughn, smiling.
"Oh boy, here goes!" Sydney said as she puffed her cheeks as they rearranged the table and Vaughn and Sytory helped hold her legs as she was instructed to start pushing.
Once the nurses were ready, Sytory stepped aside to videotape from Sydney's shoulder ((No Ewww! Shots!))
"Okay Sydney, big push!" the doctor said as he stationed himself to deliver the baby.
"10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, okay breathe." Vaughn said with the nurse, all wide eyed, holding her leg for her.
"Owwwww! Ohhhh..the epidural!!! It's not working!!" Sydney screamed as she felt like she was being ripped inside out.
"It's okay Syd. You're the strongest person I've ever met, you can do this!" Vaughn reassured, wiping her head.
"Okay Sydney..on the next one, hold it for 10, breathe, and hold for 10 again." The doctor instructed.
"Another one!! I'm having another contraction!!" Sydney yelped, really feeling it now that the epidural had completely worn off. She sat up and pulled her knees closer as they counted then took a quick deep breath and held again, screaming towards then end as she fell back.
"Ohm-my.gosh!!! Look, there's the head!!" Sytory exclaimed.
"Here Sydney, feel your baby's head!" the doctor instructed.
"Wow!!!..ow! Another one!!" Sydney yelped, scrunching her face up.
"You're doing good baby! Just keep at it!" Irina called over, Jack sitting on the far side, tears in his eyes as he watched his daughter.
"Ahh.ooohhhh..errrrr..I'm gonna kick you're a** for this Michael Vaughn!!!.errrr!!" Sydney yelped pushing till her face was bright red. Vaughn just grinned.
"Okay baby!" he said, holding her leg back and watching his child be born.
"Okay! Heads out!! Stop for a second Sydney!" the doctor said suctioning the baby's mouth and nose. Vaughn was crying slightly.
"Baby!! I see dimples!! Already! Look!" Vaughn cried happily. Sydney looked down in shock and smiled through tears.
"Okay Sydney.give me one more push, not too hard...slowly..there you go...and..baby's out!!!.....................
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>
He he! Thought I was done there? I'm not THAT cruel!!</span>
"....and it's a....girl!!!!" the doctor said lifting the baby and draping the baby across Sydney's stomach where a nurse had placed a towel. Sydney cried out smiling away.
"oh.my...a baby girl!!!! Our daughter!!! She's so tiny!!" Sydney cried as her daughter started crying loudly as the nurses wiped her up.
"You did it baby!! I knew you could! A daughter...we have a daughter." Vaughn said happily in a complete daze, kissing Sydney on the mouth, then his newborn baby's head.
"Thank you." He whispered to her locking his eyes with hers.
"I love you." She said back.
"Love you too." He replied, gazing at his daughter.
"Hey precious, you're so adorable!! Look at those dimples and where's your hair??" Vaughn said, completely entranced with her.
"Okay daddy, you can cut the cord." A nurse said handing him the scissors and pointing where to cut.
"We're gonna go clean her up so the doctor can finish with you." A nurse told Sydney, picking her baby up. Sydney had a flash of anger in her eyes before she relaxed as Sytory walked over to tape the cutie pie as they did all the measurements and cleaning and stuff. Sydney sighed rolling her head towards her parents.
"Mama! Daddy! I did it!! It's a girl!!" Sydney exclaimed beaming away. They quickly finished up with Sydney, then the doctor went over to check on the baby.
"She's 6 pounds even. A tiny little cutie, but perfect." The doctor announced as the nurses bundled her up after placing three tiny separate bracelets, two on her wrists, one on her ankle. Then Vaughn and Sydney received their bracelets, Sydney getting two, since her baby was technically a preemie.
"She's so cute!" Sytory said as she hugged her sister. Then the doctor picked her up from the heating bed.
"Now, as the doctor to deliver this beauty, I get to hold her and pass her to you, a doctor privilege only. Oh, and also a photograph too, it'll go in my albums." The doctor said cheekily, holding the tiny bundle and carrying over to the proud new parents. He placed the baby girl in Sydney's outstretched arms, a nurse snapping a picture just as he did.
"So..what's my new grand daughters name?" Jack asked, finally coming over to Sydney since the doctor was done with her.
"Gosh....we have a couple ideas...but since she came early, we haven't had time to decide." Sydney said tiredly, not taking her eyes off her now quiet daughter.
"Well...we have some picked out, we'll have to discuss them more." Vaughn said as he touched his daughter sweetly on the cheeks.
"Can't believe she's older then her aunt or uncle." Jack commented a little while later when things were settled down.
Yelena, Lena, and Julia were visiting, Julia holding 'Little Girl' as they called her now. Irina continued on the oxygen mask, resting as much as she could.
"Guess who won the pool?" Sytory joked after coming in with Eric.
"Who?" Sydney asked as she held her daughter now.
"Agent James." Eric exclaimed as he eyed and cooed at the baby.
"James?! My homeless guy?!!" Sydney exclaimed, smiling.
"The one and only. One of the longest working agents now with the CIA. Great field agent back in the day, now does the little, but highly important jobs, like being your drop guy." Eric commented, smiling.
"Good for him!!" Sydney said, feeling happy for the guy who was such an important little part of her life.
"That's not all! Tell them Eric!" Sytory said excitedly.
"Get this..he's putting the money away. In a savings bond for your daughter. 'For her future', he says. Just needs her name." Eric exclaimed beaming.
"Wow!! How nice!! Oh..we HAVE to get him in here to meet her!" Sydney said, crying a little at the gesture.
"Yeah, maybe tomorrow." Vaughn said as he looked over at Irina clutching onto Jack's hand desperately.
"The epidural's wearing off." Jack commented when he saw them looking. Eric, Yelena, Lena, and Julia were all shooed out.
"But I want to be there for my sister!" Yelena said, looking at Irina worriedly.
"Nurse, please let her stay." Irina said breathing deeply at the contraction that came.
"Sure. As long as everything runs smoothly." The nurse said. Irina was now at 8 ½ almost 9.
"Not long now, love. You can do it." Jack said softly as he gazed at Irina's tired eyes, kissing her brow.
"This has got to be the longest labor out of all of them. It's coming up on 20 hours here. This baby better come or they'll miss my birthday." Irina said tiredly.
"How long was Sytory mom?" Sydney asked, knowing she herself had taken a little over 10 hours.
"Only 8 hours. It was just me and a midwife at her house. No drugs, no medicine; all natural." Irina said.
"Then this will be a breeze." Jack said.
"You bet..she was 8 days late. Over 9 pounds. Hurt like hell!" Irina said, scrunching her face as another contraction came. Sytory just shrugged.
"Sorry, ma." Was all she mumbled, smiling though.
As the moon slowly made it's way across the starry sky, Irina finally made it to 10. She was ready to go. And like the pro she was, she pushed the baby almost completely out easily.
"Okay, heads out..slow now Irina...shoulder's clear..and...baby's out!! It's a boy!!" the doctor yelled, saying the best words ever to Jack.
"A son!! I have a son!!" Jack exclaimed so happy he had tears down his face.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Jack said as they laid the baby boy on Irina's stomach and he kissed his wife sweetly.
"Look at all the blackish hair!! He's so handsome!" Irina beamed, tears falling. Their son lay there, whimpering away.
"Okay daddy, cut the cord." The nurse instructed showing him where. They took him to be cleaned up and to finish up Irina.
"Hey doc...just keep sewing...ALL the way up!! No more baby's from this gal." Irina joked hoarsely. Everyone giggled at that.
Once weighed, cleaned, and bracelets placed, the doctor came back doing his traditional pass off of the baby into Jack's hands.
"Got a 7lb. 5oz. baby boy, in excellent heath." The doctor said as he gently handed him over to Jack.
"Our son..hey there little man." Jack cooed, smiling big time. Vaughn sat next to him in his matching rocking chair holding his daughter too.
"I've did it baby!! I've got a son now!" Irina called over to Sydney, just like Sydney had done. Sydney just beamed.
"Now I'M an aunt!" Yelena said, smiling with tears in her eyes.
"May the spoiling begin!" Sytory joked, knowing her role.
