Danny helped Jessica shower, he helped her through the few contractions that came and went.  He was so gentle and loving with her.

"It's coming again." Jessica said said wrapping her arms around Danny's neck and pressing her forehead against his chest.

"It's okay.  Just breathe, honey.." Danny said placing his palms on her lower back as he swayed along with her.

"Mmmmm.." Jessica moaned quietly.

Danny placed soft kisses on the top of her head.
"Good baby.  You're doing so well.."

The pain eventually passed and Jessica lifted her head to look at Danny.

"It hurts." She pouts.

"I know, I'm sorry.  He's not calming down either, huh?  Your little tummy was pressed against me.  He's wide awake!"

Jessica smiles softly and nods her head.
She then looks down and places her hand on her belly. "He's ready to join in on the fun."

"I think so." Danny chuckles.

**

After helping Jessica dry off, Danny helped her into some clothes.

"Ann's on her way." He said walking into the bedroom.

"Okay.. Oh I want it to be over." Jessica says sitting on the edge of the bed holding her stomach with one hand.

Danny chuckles softly.

"My labor with the twins I couldn't get an epidural.. Alessia I had at Sarah's house—"

"That's so crazy!" He laughs.

"I want to enjoy this birth.. I mean, as much as I can enjoy getting a human out of my body!"

Danny smiles softly and nods.

"Will you think I'm weak if I take the epidural?"

"What?! No! Honey, you're still pushing a human out of your body! I would never ever call you weak!"

Jessica smiles softly. "Thanks."

"Ooh! Ow, ow!" Jessica looks down and moves around on the bed.

"Oh my gosh, this one is super strong! Oh Ann, where the hell are you?!"

"It's okay, baby girl. Breathe in.. and out.."

Just then they hear Alessia's little voice.
"What doing, guys?"

Danny turns to her and chuckles quietly.
She walked in lifting her little hands, with a confused little look on her face.

"What are you doing up, little miss?" He asks.

"I shleep wih yew!"

"No baby, Mommy's having baby Oli, so we're gonna go bye bye."

"Noooo! No leave!" She cries.

"Aw honey." Jessica pouts.
"Ow!  Oh Danny, we need to go!" Jessica cried softly.

"I know, honey.  Alessia, let's go back to bed."

Danny tries grabbing her but she stomps her feet and moves away.

"No!  Nooooo!  I want mommy!"

Danny snatched her up and she kicks and screams.

"Aww.. come here, little bit." Jessica reaches for her.

Danny sits Alessia right beside her and she clings to Jessica.

"Mommy no go!"

"Aw Lessi, mommy will be right back, honey."

"Have a baby?" She asks looking into her mother's eyes.

"Yeah, I have to go to the hospital to have the baby!"

"He coming out of here!" Alessia pokes her outtie belly button through her shirt.

Jessica chuckles and Danny says, "Something like that."

"Him be the baby.. you luh him more." Alessia looks up to her mother with the saddest little face.

"Aw no, baby girl!  I love you, Dylan, the twins and Oliver all the same!"

Alessia pouts before burying her face in Jessica's stomach.

"Don't be sad, Princess!  Be happy that you're going to have a little brother!  You're going to be a big sister, Less!  Can you kiss him and say, See you soon, little brother!  Can you say that, baby girl?"

Alessia looks at her mother with the cutest little pout.

Jessica laughs and looks at Danny as he asks, "What is that face?!"

"Oh Alessia!"

"Kiss her tummy, little turd."

"No."

"Alessia.." Jessica hums.

"No." She nods.

Jessica pouts and says, "It's okay.  I just want you to love you're brother." Jessica says with tears in her eyes.

Alessia feels bad and kisses Jessica's stomach.
"See you soon.... Meany!" She whispers loudly.

"Alessia Francesca!" Jessica laughs.

"Bye, mommy!" She stands on the bed and wraps her arms around Jessica's neck.

"Bye, my love.  Sleep well, sweet girl."

"Sweet girl?  You sure about that?" Danny chuckles.

"She's still sweet.. sometimes."

**

Soon Ann came and put Alessia to bed so Danny and Jessica could head to the hospital.

In the car Jessica's contractions were becoming stronger and stronger.  Jessica just wanted to get there and have this baby already.

"Ohhh!"

"Another one?!" Danny's attention quickly shot to Jessica then back to the road.

"Yes, dammit! They're every four minutes now."

"Damn.."

"He better come fast!
Oh this is our last one. He's our last one!" Jessica cries in pain.

"Yes he is. No more after this, baby."

"No sex!"

"Alright honey."

"No dick! I'm chopping it off!"

"Whatever you say, angel."

"Just drive, I want to get there already!"

Danny continued driving and finally they arrived.
After being wheeled in Jessica changed into a gown and soon she was hooked up to fetal monitors.

"So what do all these things do?" Danny points to her belly.

"Monitor the baby."

"Cool! You look cute." He smiles.

"I don't."

"You do! How do you feel?"

"Great." Jessica says with a miserable look.

"I know that was a stupid question."

"Yep!"

"I love you!" Danny smiles.

"I love you too.."

Just then the doctor walks in to check her.

...

"Alright Jessica, everything looks good! You're dilated four centimeters so that's a great start!"

"Perfect, can I have an epidural?"

"You can but I suggest you walk around or try the birthing ball before. It'll help move things along before you're stuck in this bed."

"Oh okayyy." Jessica whines.

"I'll be back to check you in about an hour or so.
Keep it up, you're doing great."

"Thanks."

Her doctor leaves them alone and Danny walks over to the bed. He sits beside her and places his hand on her thigh.

"Four centimeters? That's great, baby!"

"Yeah.."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm so tired. I didn't rest at all today.  At all.." Jessica says in a shaky voice.

"I woke up at the ass crack of dawn, I made breakfast for everyone, Alessia had me running all day, the baby was crazy.. I didn't nap!" She cries.

"Then after baths and best time.. I didn't sleep because my contractions started to get stronger and more consistent. I am so exhausted and I don't have the energy to have a baby!"

"My poor girl!" Danny softly caresses her cheek.

"I'm so sorry, baby girl! Why don't we walk around for a little while? Then you bounce a little and get your epidural!" He says with a smile.

"Okay.. I'm sorry I'm complaining but—"

"No sweetie, don't apologize! You're in labor after a long day of being an extremely pregnant momma!
You're allowed to be cranky." He smiles softly, placing his hand on her bump.

Jessica smiles and places her hand on his.

"I love you." She says.

"I love you too."

"I really do, Danny. I don't want to ever be with anyone else but you. You're my man for life." Jessica says with tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.

Danny wipes them then softly kisses her lips.
"And you're my girl for life. This is it, it's me and you forever."

"Don't forget our little troupe." She smiles and looks down to her stomach.

"Of course!" He kisses her bump.

"I love this belly."

"Thanks." She says cutely.

Danny chuckles and kisses her once again.

**

Two hours later.

Jessica walked up and down the hallway, then bounced on the birthing ball for a while.

"I want my epidural!" She cries, straddling the ball.

"Let me see if he can come check you.  You've done all he's asked." Danny shrugs.

A while later Jessica's doctor finally makes his way in.

"Alright Jessica, you're dilated four and a half centimeters so I'm going to go ahead and break your water to get things moving faster."

"Why didn't you do that two hours ago?!" Jessica cries.

"You're doing amazing, Jessica.  Once we break your water, we'll send the anesthesiologist in for your epidural."

"Tell them to hurry up!" Jessica raises her voice.

"Will do, Ms. Lange." He chuckles.

"Now just relax your muscles and take a deep breath." He says pushing her right leg back a little.

Jessica lays her head back and spreads her legs a bit more.

"There we go, all done.  Let the games begin." He smiles.

"I'm not in the mood for your jokes, Doctor." Jessica says with a very unamused look.

"I see, I apologize." He chuckles.

**

Waiting for the anesthesiologist was torture.
Jessica's contractions were now incredibly strong.
Danny pressed her hips together as she leaned forward on the bed swaying back and forth.

"I can't!  Get him out, please get him out!"

"Keep breathing, baby.  You're almost done!"

"I hate you, Daniel!  I hate you so much!"

"It's okay honey, deep breathes.  Come on, you've got this."

"I don't want to do this anymore!"

Just then they hear a knock at the door.

"Oh thank God!" Jessica says.

"Jessie!"

"Oh fuck, it's my mother!  MOM!"

"Well I'm sorry!"

"It's just that we're waiting on an epidural, Mrs. Lange.  No offense to you." Danny smiles.

"Oh I see!  None taken, sweetheart."

"We?  WE are waiting on an epidural, Daniel?  You're in pain too?!"

"No honey, I just meant."

"SHUT UP!"

"Sure!"

Once again there was a knock at the door.

"I swear to God, if you aren't the man with the drugs, I will kick your ass!"

"I'm your guy!" The man smiles.

"Oh I'll kiss you!  HURRY UP!"

**

15 minuets later.

"So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time!" Jessica sings.

Dorothy looks at Danny and he says, "The epidural has kicked in and she's feelin good!"

"I'm feelin GREAT!  I wanna do a cartwheel!  You know what?  I bet I could lift my leg over my head!"

"I bet so too." Danny chuckles.

"Yup!  I think Imma take a nap!"

"Go ahead, baby.  Get lots and lots of rest." Danny smiles.

"I will!" Jessica smiles and turns her head to the side.
She smiles and points to the monitor. "Oh look!  I'm having a conversation!  I had no idea!" She laughs.

"She is feelin like a—"

"Like a rockstar, babe!  Like a rockstar." Jessica lifts her hands as she yawns and slowly closes her eyes.

Danny chuckles and kisses the top of her head.

**

One hour later.

"Jessica.. Jessie, wake up baby, they need to check you."

"What?  No!  Leave me alone, I'm sleeping!" She whines.

"Jess, come on."

"Fine!" Jessica opens her eyes and spreads her legs.

...

"Excellent!  You're now eight centimeters!  It'll be very soon!"

"Yay!" Jessica smiles.

"My baby is almost here.." Jessica yawns as she slowly rubs her stomach.

"I'm gonna go back to sleep.."

"Night night, honey." Danny smiles.

**

10:05 am.
Around an hour and a half later, Jessica started to softly moan in her sleep.

"Uh oh, it's wearin off." Dorothy says.

"It can do that?!" Danny's eyes go wide as he walks over to Jessica.

"Hey honey, you okay?"

"I feel the pain.. and I have a lot of pressure."

"You do?"

"Yeah.. really bad!  Can you call someone?"

"I'll go, you stay with her."

"Thanks, Dorothy."

Danny takes Jessica's hand in his as Jessica breathes in and out.

"Good, baby.  I'm so proud of you." He smiles softly.

"I feel him, he's coming."

"Oh my gosh, this is so cool!  I'm gonna have another son!" Danny smiles.

Hearing that made Jessica so happy.

"Another son?"

"Well yeah!  Nathanial and Dylan are my boys too." He smiles.

Jessica places her hand on Danny's cheek and guides him down to her lips

"I love you so much."

"I love you so much more, baby girl."

**

"Okay Jessica, you're fully dilated!  It's time to push." The older nurse smiles.

"Aw baby, it's time to push!  Oliver is coming!" Danny smiles.

Jessica smiles then bites her bottom lip.  She was so nervous.

"The doctor is on his way, let's go ahead and do a few practice pushes.
Dad and grandma, her legs are still numb so she's going to need help holding them back.

"We've got it." Dorothy says taking her daughters right leg.

She then looks down before leaning in to whisper to Jessica.
"Jessie, you didn't shake yourself before?!"

"Mom!  Stop looking!"

"What else am I supposed to be looking at?!"

Jessica then groans as she gets another contraction.

"Ahh okay, I'm ready!"

"Deep breath in, sweetie and push straight down into your bottom."

Jessica takes a deep breath and pushes as hard as she can.

"Good job, keep going!"

"Good baby!" Danny says.

Jessica then lays her head back and breathes deeply.

"Amazing job, Jessica.  The next contraction should be along in about thirty seconds.  Just keep breathing and focus on bringing your baby down."

Jessica nods her head and focuses on her breathing.

Danny looks down then smiles at Jessica. "We're gonna see him so soon!"

Jessica smiles softly and nods her head.

...

"Okay Jessica, here comes another contraction.  Get ready to push again."

Jessica once again takes a deep breath and pushes her hardest.

"Beautiful Jessica!  Your little guy is so eager to meet his momma!  I want you to stop there and take deep breathes.
Dr. Randall will be here shortly."

"Please tell him to hurry!" Jessica says in a soft whine.

"He's on his way, honey.  You're doin this!  The baby is coming!" Danny smiles then kisses her forehead.

Jessica closes her eyes and breathes deeply.  "I just want him out NOW!"

"Soon, baby girl!" Dorothy smiles.

Dr. Randall finally made it in right as Jessica's body filled with intense pain and pressure.

"Owww.. it hurts!" She sobs.

"Can I push?  Please let me push!"

"Yes, big push, Jessica!"

Jessica curled her body and pushed as hard as she could.

"Oh my gosh!  That's his head!  Jessie, look at his head!" Danny says with excitement.

"I can't, honey!" Jessica says.

"Oh right!  Dorothy, look at his head!"

"It's beautiful!" Dorothy smiled, tears filling her eyes.

"Good job, momma!" Danny smiles and kisses her temple.  He was so proud.

"Deep breath in and push again!  Harder, harder, harder!
....Good, keep going!"

"Ah!" Jessica threw her head back and panted.

"I see the very top of his head, baby!  He has dark hair!"

"Aw." Jessica smiles and grabs his hand.

"You're doing beautifully.  Now huge push, baby girl!" Danny kisses her hand.

Jessica nods her head and smiles softly.

Once again she pushed with everything she had.  The baby's head slowly making its way out.

"Yes, he's coming, he's coming!"

Jessica let out a low scream as she continued pushing.

"Alright, deep breath."

"It stings!" She shouts.

"Keep breathing, you're doing great!"

"I'm gonna push!"

"No!  Breathe Jessica.  Deep breathes in and out."

"Come on, baby.  Breathe with me." Danny takes her hand and looks deep into her eyes.

"No, I can't!  I can't!  Please, I have to push!"

"Jessica, just a few more seconds.  The next contraction is coming, just breathe with me, baby girl."

Jessica listens to Danny and takes deep breathes along with him.

...

"Okay, time to push again.  Ready?" Dr. Randall says.

Jessica grunts and pushes as hard as she can.

"Look at my girl go!" Danny smiles.

"Ah his head is out!" Dorothy shouts with excitement.

"One big push momma, and he'll be here!" Danny says.

Jessica pushes once again and shouts, "OW!  Get him out of MEEEEE!"

"He's coming baby, look down!" Danny smiles.

"Oh!" Jessica feels relief then a scream coming from her son.

"Oh my baby boy!" Jessica grabs him and places him on her chest.

"Oliver!  You're here!  You're here, baby boy.." Jessica cries softly.

The baby cries loudly and Jessica softly caresses his cheek.
"It's okay, baby boy.  Momma's here.. momma's here, little man!
Oh Danny, he's so cute!  Look at him!"

"I know.. wow!  You are amazing, Jessica Lange."

Jessica looks at Danny and sees him in tears.
"Aw baby, you're crying!"

"I love you so so much.  I love you!" Danny kisses her lips over and over again before burying his face in the crook of her neck.

"Aw.." Jessica smiles.

"Your daddy's sweet, Oli." Jessica says to the baby.

She then looks at Dorothy who was crying happy tears.

"Congratulations, baby girl."

"Thank you!" Jessica smiles down to the baby and says, "Welcome to the world, Oliver Maxwell Huston."
