***********************************
A couple months have flown by, and Rachel was in full mommy to be mode. Shopping, scouring the internet for baby names, and spending time with Sebastian who was so amazing. The cravings, the back and forth to the doctor, the cramping. She was at 25 weeks already. Time for another doctor appointment but this time learn the gender.

Sebastian: Rachel? Are you ready to go? I'm sorry I can't go with you to appointment but I will pick you up. Sorry baby.

Rachel: Seb, I understand. Ouch! Baby is kicking me, Stop that!

Sebastian: Already showing who is boss.

Rachel: What do you think? Boy or Girl?

Sebastian: Healthy Baby, bgon Boy then guy time, and a girl? Shotgun and application to date in hand.

Rachel: Unfortunately will have a little of Jesse.

Sebastian: Blood or not, this baby WILL be mine!

Rachel waddled to the car, sadness on her face. Sebastian noticed.

Sebastian: Either way this baby will have amazing talent. Don't stress OK??

Rachel kissed him. " What would I do without you?"

Sebastian: You won't find out. By the way, don't be mad but Jesse has been calling.

Rachel: What?! Why didn't you tell me?!

Sebastian: You don't need the drama. Plus, he lost his chance. Protecting my family!

Rachel: Your family?

Sebastian: If you will let me.

Rachel: I love you so much.

Sebastian: I love you too. Now let's go Miss Punctuality.

Rachel and Sebastian got into car, heading to ultrasound appointment and thinking of Jesse hoping that he wouldn't cause problems. Sebastian calling the baby and her "His Family" made her feel loved.

About 20 minutes later, Sebastian dropped Rachel off. "I love you, call me and I'll come get you. Love you both!" he yelled while pulling away.

Rachel blew him a kiss, " We love you too!" She added while rubbing her tummy. She walked in and waited to be seen. She was reading a baby names book when her phone buzzed. Thinking it was Sebastian she smiled, but soon replaced with fear.

Bitch just remember...I'm coming for what is mine....kisses baby love JSJ

Rachel was about to reply back and forward to Sebastian, but was interrupted by the nurse, " Miss Berry!"

Rachel put phone away and decided NOT to let it get to her.

Nurse: Hi Rachel. How are you? Where's the gorgeous boyfriend?

Rachel: We are okay just usual pain. He is working.

Nurse: Okay get on the table, usual drill. Today is checking on baby and hopefully what gender.

Rachel: I am so excited!

Rachel went through checkup and its ultrasound time. She suddenly saw her baby on the screen.

Nurse: Okay baby is in view and looks like...a girl! Congratulations!

Rachel: yay! Sebastian has shotgun and application to date ready. Haha

Nurse: oh that's wonderful. * then concerned look*

Rachel: Everything OK?

Nurse: Sit tight, be right back."

Rachel knew something wasn't right. The nurse was gone. Rachel was nervous. About 25 minutes later, Dr. Sunni was looking at ultrasound and greeted Rachel.

Dr Sunni: Hi Rachel. Sorry to keep you waiting. Good and Bad news. The baby is fine, but your cervix is thin. I'm sending you to the hospital on immediate bed rest and keep this baby from arriving before due date. You're 25 weeks, too early.

Rachel cried but did what was asked. 15 minutes later Serenity was in hospital in a bed, and texted Sebastian, who replied, " I'll be there shortly"

Rachel was soon in a room at 25 week scared to death. Looks like she may as well get comfortable. soon, Sebastian arrived.

Sebastian in panic mode. "Rachel?! Are you both OK?"

Rachel: I'm scared..

Sebastian: I'm here and not going anywhere...

Rachel: Your girls love you.

Sebastian: Girl?! No boys for her!

Rachel: I am scared, tired....

Sebastian: Sleep. I'm not going anywhere.

Rachel: Lay with us?

Sebastian held back tears, trying not to let it show that he was scared too. What will happen if the baby came early? He couldn't lose them. He saw the message Jesse St Ass wrote and saw red but last thing he wanted was to cause Rachel stress. So he texted him back and wrote: Dream on dickhead. Stay away from MY family!

Rachel fell asleep, while Sebastian held her. He could see on monitor and hear his little girl moving around.

Sebastian kissed her and sang,

"I Loved Her First" (A/N: by Heartland)

(Sebastian)

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

Sebastian: I love you, Rach.

Rachel smiled, " Love you more".

Rachel sung to him this time, squeezing his hand.

Hero (A/N: by Marian Carey)

(Rachel)

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long, road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

(Sebastian)

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way

(Rachel)

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone

(Sebastian)
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth

(Both)
That a hero lies in you

(Sebastian)
That a hero lies in you

(Rachel)
That a hero lies in you

Rachel: OUR hero...

Sebastian felt like happiest guy. He kissed her passionately, then her tummy. He swore he felt baby kick.

Sleep took over and both awaited what was to come next...
