The Nurse ran to get the Doctor and Terry looked pleadingly at him grabbing for his hands again. She looked up into his eyes and prayed silently.

The events pass quickly and before they know it there is the cry of a small voice. Theresa whimpers and holds her arms out for the baby, looking nervously around the room as the small bundle is taken from them and cleaned up and swaddled. The nurse brings the tiny little one back to them and places her in Terry’s hands. “Say hello to your daughter”

Terry gives a silent cry of relief tears streaming down her face. A daughter, not a clone, not a repeat of the horrid events of years before.  She looked up at Jamie relief shining in her eyes. “a girl ” she mouths to him.

As the nurse takes the baby back to do some last minute checks she grabbed Jamie down to her and kissed him deeply. Whispering as loudly as she can, spray still in effect “And I’ve always been stronger then ye boyo” her eyes where shinning with tears as the nurse returns a few minutes later. “Does Daddy want to hold her?”

Jamie smiled as he watched the birth of his first daughter, his only true child, before he inwardly gagged. Heh.. well no one really prepares you for that, do they? Damn it Jamie.. you’ve seen people dying, explosions that almost take off your head.. and yet you’re disgusted by this? You suck. Jamie! Focus!

The few seconds of daze were over as he resumed his smiling, his eyes glistening as he held back tears of joy. He watched the mother of his child press the newborn close to her, watched the tears of joy flow down her alabaster cheeks and he was surprised to feel something he hadn’t felt in a long time: happy. He nodded at her as she mouthed “a girl”, and he looked at the nurse take away his daughter. 

In a flash he found himself being pulled forward by a strength he knew so well and his lips found hers. He grinned as he opened his eyes, hearing the small statement that she whispered. “That is true.. and my fingers that poke out at odd angles can prove it..” 

As he heard the nurse, he nodded wordlessly. He picked up the bundle of joy that Terry had brought into this world and he could only smile, he had no words. He gently made a cooing sound at the young creature, extending his index finger and positively melting as she grasped it reflexively. “Hiya Joannie.. welcome to the family.” The moment was suddenly perfect, and that day passed by quickly and happily.

It was suddenly three days later and they were back at the house/office, him holding onto Joannie as his wife made them pancakes. “You know.. I love you girls more than I thought I ever could love.. and remember that love-struck dupe? Yeah, he’s inside there somewhere.” He joked aloud, his eyes never leaving the form of his newborn daughter. 

She smirked over at him still feeling a little sore and swollen, but just unable to separate the pair. “Iffen ye truly loved me you’d be the one makin’ the pancakes.” she teased him a bit as she set a stack in front of him. “Powdered sugar, brown sugar or syrup love.” she kissed the top of his head “an Joanie is two young t’ behaving them.”

Moving around the kitchen she poured herself a large glass of orange juice and sat down gently taking the baby from him. Terry laughed just a bit at the hurt look on his face. “That lovesick dupe?” She adjusted her daughter and leaned over and kissed him. “Funny all this time thought that was the origination who felt like that fer me.”

Terry hummed softly as she sat back in the chair slipping out of the nursing bra and beginning to feed. “Somebody takes after their Da, she’s very hungry today. ” She looked over at her husband and smiled softly. “Love you too, so much.”

She smiled at him and ran her fingers over the blanket. She picked up the white board “Just move it when things get messy, so it doesn’t get ruined”

Terry smiled lovingly as he kissed her hand, she was relieved that he didn’t seem to even hesitate before taking it. She smiled at him and nodded.

“Tis a beautiful name. “  she writes and looks at him, wishing she could speak when a wave of pain hits her and she grips his hand tightly belting out a silent scream, that had she not been silent she knows would have broken the windows. As it was the bed trembles a bit. She bites her lip and looks at him. She wasn’t even going to address if it was a boy. They had the ultra sound. Jamie had done countless tests, granted some without her knowledge, but she knew he was looking out for her… for them. 

“How soon?” While Terry didn’t want him to do the actual delivery… just in case, but she was anxious.

Jamie nodded at her silent instructions. “Of course, I wouldn’t want it to get irrevocable soaked with some unmentionable substances.” He flashed her a small grin, winking at her as he squeezed her hand gently. As they - well, he - spoke about the name, he could only smile at her gentle response on the board. 

He furrowed his brow as he watched pain reflected on her face and he let out a small gasp of pain as she cracked down on his hand. “A-Ah.. that hurts.. W-Women really do get superstrong..” He dramatically took a knee, looking up to her in pain with a small mischievous grin. “B-But I love you..”

He quickly slipped his hand from hers, smiling apologetically as he picked up the blanket. “Well.. shouldn’t be long now, Terry. Just gimme a few minutes to go find the docs and we should just..” 

He stopped in his tracks, cocking his head to the right as he observed the situation and he gulped loudly. “Uhh.. Terry.. she’s comin’ now. Seems your fully dilated and your cervix is 100% effaced..” 

The Nurse ran to get the Doctor and Terry looked pleadingly at him grabbing for his hands again. She looked up into his eyes and prayed silently.

Terry sighed, and muttered silently. She opened her mouth and glared at him when no sound came out, of course that was the whole point of the spray, but she found herself aggravated at the moment.

She shivered a bit and wrote “BLANKETS!” before erassing it and writing

“You where the one that hated Maeve Joan“  she scribbled and gave him a look. The look of frustration turned to one of love as she gazed at him. He infuriated her to no end sometimes, but she loved him to death. Had since she first met him years ago when he came to Muir Island. She drew a heart on the white board.

She held out her hand for his and closed her eyes not blaming him one bit if he decided he didn’t want to be that close to her.

Jamie smiled at her futile attempts at speech but the smile gently faded after he noticed her shivering. He walked forth and gingerly laid the soft quilt over her. “Here.. I made it myself.. when myself was interested in knitting and sewing.” He gave her his small smile, remembering when a dupe came with a Home Ec teacher’s personality. It was a bit embarrassing. 

As he read her response he, smiled a bit guiltily. He really didn’t like that name and once more he drifted into his myriad thoughts before he returned, noticing the small heart. As he looked down to her hand, he didn’t hesitate to take it in his own and kissing it. “You know Terry.. I just thought of a new possibility. What if we tried shaking that name up? Maybe Joan Maeve?”

Heh.. she could be Joanie Madrox. Awesome. 

He looked to her and quirked a brow questioningly, a small smile creeping up on his features. 

She smiled at him and ran her fingers over the blanket. She picked up the white board “Just move it when things get messy, so it doesn’t get ruined”

Terry smiled lovingly as he kissed her hand, she was relieved that he didn’t seem to even hesitate before taking it. She smiled at him and nodded.

Jamie passively watched the qualified healthcare professionals deliver the epidural and check on his wife. He busied himself for a few seconds by thinking of everything they had to go back to after this miraculous occasion. Oh joy.. 

As soon as the doctor and nurse left, he looked to his green-eyed beauty and smiled, only to raise a brow as she pulled the white to her once more. He patiently waited for a few seconds as she scribbled something apparently large and urgent. As she turned the board to him, his eyes opened a few centimeters and his heart skipped a beat. Oh.. shit.. 

“Umm.. well, I would love to really give my opinion on this but to be honest, it always seems I’m wrong so I’d like to hear-.. err read some of your suggestions, my dear.” He smoothly replied. Good Jamie; a classic move is classic for a reason.

Yeah.. never having anything definitive.. you go Jamie. Sometimes.. Jamie knew he sucked but his indecisiveness always seemed to get the better of him. 

Oh Jamie… What?! 

Terry sighed, and muttered silently. She opened her mouth and glared at him when no sound came out, of course that was the whole point of the spray, but she found herself aggravated at the moment.

Blinks at him as he returns. “What do ye think yer doing Mardox?” she hisses as he pulls on the gloves “We can t’ the hospital fer a reason!!” her accent is thick as she gazes at him. “Are ye planning something???”

She shudders a bit. “and I’ll be having that epidural anytime” she looks around for the nurse and frowns. “What is going on where is Wade? Did ye reach him?”

Her breathing is hard and shivers a bit. “Give me the whiteboard, gonna use the spray now…won’t be able to talk ….” she doesn’t want to have to go there, but can’t risk blowing out the windows in the hospital again.

The last time she had shattered ever window in the building. She flushes and breaths hard “Help me with the spray before I scream boyo” she grips the sheets tightly trying not to think about what happened last time.

A single tear slides down her face, why did they think this was a good idea, Terry reaches out a hand to him “James….please…jes come and talk te me…”

Jamie smiles a little, “Well.. I was thinking.. I mean I do actually know how to be a doctor.” He looks down, chastised, 

As her accent starts thickening, his eyes widen in alarm as he turns his gaze towards her. He puts up his arms in a passive gesture, “Y-Yeah, I’ll call Wade, again.. and..” he looks outside the room and whisles, “Epidural should be comin’ right up!” 

As she requests the spray, he fumbles about in his myriad pockets and in a secret one he pops it out. “Ah-.. he-here we are!” As she speaks laborously, he positively runs towards her to use the spray. “Y-Yeah, just gimme a second.. it’s okay, we’re good. L-Let’s do it.” 

Before he helps her with the spray, he hears her voice soften as she takes his hand in hers; he looks to her and finds a clear tear going down her cheek. “My lass, what’s the problem? I nae like this in ye, mo ghra. I’m ‘ere for ye, an’ I love ye more than the stars.” He laughs at his own silliness, leaning forward to kiss her tear away and kiss her lips. 

“Now shush, me stars, this won’t ‘urt a bit..” With that, he gently spritzed the spray in her mouth. 

He kissed her once more and gently squeezed her left hand, “The epidural’s comin’ lass..” 

She looked up at him and touched his face, grateful for him being like this. Times like this she remembers why she loves him so much after all they have been through. She returns the kiss tenderly. “Yer an arse” she manages to get out before the uses the spray.

She instantly feels the spray do it’s magic and none to soon as a wave of pain hits and she squeezes Jamie’s hand opening her mouth a silent scream that … doesn’t do anything.

A look of relief in her eyes she smiles at him and picks up the white board. “Good work boyo”  she sighs softly as the nurse comes in, and after checking her give the epidural. “Not long now folks” she smiles and leaves the room.

Taking Jamie’s hand she pulls him close to her and kisses him tenderly. Picking up the white board she writes “NAMES???” they had talked about a few, but still nothing was set. She drew a heart on the board as well and looked over at him smiling softly.

Nodded and groaned biting her lip. “Did….were ye able to work on a um..” she gripped his hand fighting the urge to scream “The spray so I can nae scream?” she flushes “Don nae need to break all the windows again”

She moved a hand along his arm carefully as she gazed up at him. “I love ye Jamie…” she kissed him as he helped her up onto the bed. “Did ye reach Wade…” she hopes they don’t need him, that nothing was going to go wrong, but he promised to stop her from doing anything stupid should …. an incident occur.

Since her father wasn’t available and she had no idea where Warpath was, he was probably the one person who could get her to listen. “Calm me  love, jes talk te me”

Jamie furrowed his brow as he thought, biting his lower lip before he exclaimed a small, “Yes!”. He produced a small vial out of his coat pocket with a spray nozzle. “Yeah.. here it is. I’m sorry honey, I’m just so.. nervous. I don’t know.. I mean after…” He blanched before he spoke and he shook his head slightly. “N-Nevermind.”

He absently returned the kiss, his thoughts racing as he worried about the upcoming event. “Oh.. and umm.. I could call him again, just to make sure. I just… I can’t keep calm! It’s so amazing that we are so blessed! I just.. I’m so happy with you.” At that moment, he leaned down and kissed her lips gently, helping her onto the bed. 

He held her hand in his and stroked it gently, locking his eyes with hers. “I’ll be right back, Terry, don’t you go anywhere.” He smiled at her when he left, but he just couldn’t stand it. Heh.. whoa, did she eat a cow or something? It felt nice to let it out.. to himself. 

In a few minutes time, he came in with scrubs and a coat. He comically slapped on a pair of gloves and chuckled, “Alright! Let’s see how things are Terry!” 

Blinks at him as he returns. “What do ye think yer doing Mardox?” she hisses as he pulls on the gloves “We can t’ the hospital fer a reason!!” her accent is thick as she gazes at him. “Are ye planning something???”
