Charlotte Rose

"Your water broke?" Jessica quickly stands up.

"Well are you sure?!" Noah says on the verge of freaking out.

"Yes I'm sure!  What do I do?  Aunt Jessie, will you please call my mommy?" Kenley cries.

"Yes, Of course sweetheart!  Daniel!" Jessica shouts.

"Yeah?"

"Ken's water just broke, I need you to call Sarah and Evan NOW!"

"Oh my gosh!  Okay, I'll call them!"

"Aunt Jessie, I'm scared!" Kenley starts crying.

"Sweetie, you're going to be okay! We have time." Jessica says in a calm voice.

"Ow! Oh it hurts!"

Jessica holds her hand supports her back.

"What if my mom doesn't get to me in time?  Jessie, I need my mom!"

"Honey, just breathe.  It'll be okay.
Did you get ahold of her, Danny?"

"Yeah.

Hey Sarah!  Where are you?"

"At home, why? What's wrong?"

"Kenley's water just broke."

"Oh my Gosh!  Alright, I'm on my way!  Oh my baby!
Evan, get up!  We have to go!"

"Why?  What's wrong?"

"Kenny's water broke!"

"Oh God, I'm gonna be sick!  Sarah, she's my baby!"

"Just come on, we have to leave!
Tell her we'll be there in five minutes!"

"Will do, Sar.  Be safe, please."

"I will. Tell my baby I love her, Danny!"

"Sure thing, Sarah."

"Okay Ken, just sit.  I don't think it broke all the way, did it?"

"I don't know."

"Was it just a trickle?"

"It was at first.  I thought I was peeing on myself, that's why I ran to the bathroom, then there was a small gush."

"Alright honey, just stay calm, it's okay.  Noah, go get her bags, please."

"Okay!"

"I need my bear!" Kenley says in a panic.

"Your what?"

"My Pudgy!  I need it."

Pudgy was Kenley's stuffed bear her father gave to her when she was younger.  Whenever she was frightened or stressed she would hold onto it and squeeze it.  It was just a huge stress reliever for her and she hated not having it.

"Danny, call Sarah and tell her Ken needs Pudgy!"

"Alright!"

Jessica stayed with her and calmed her down as best as she could while Noah ran up to get their bags.

He felt so dizzy, he had to stop for a moment.
"What am I doing?  I can't do this!  I can't be a father!" He cries.

"Noah!"

Noah hears his brother's voice and turns to him with a dazed look.

"Hey! You okay?"

Noah looked at him and didn't respond.

"Nug, it's okay.  Why don't you sit for a second?"

"I can't do it, Zay."

"You don't have to.  That's Ken's job." Isaiah attempts to crack a joke.

"Isaiah, I'm serious!  What am I going to do?!"

"You're going to man up because that is the only option you have!  Now COME ON!" Isaiah shouts.

Noah snapped out of his trance and looked at Isaiah.

"You're about to be someone's father!  No matter how young you are you have to grow a pair and be there for Ken!"

"Okay."

"Now take a deep breath and get up and go down there!  It took two to make this baby and it'll take two to get her out!  Be there for her!" Isaiah shouts that last part.

"Th-thank you."

Isaiah nods and hugs him.
He pats him hard on the back then shoves him 'lovingly' towards the door.

"Go have a baby, Nugget."

Noah turns to him and Isaiah gives him a soft smile.

"I love you, Zaya."

"I love you too, Nugget."

When Noah gets downstairs Sarah and Evan were arriving.

"Momma!"

"Oh Kenny, my baby!"

"Do you have it?"

Evan walks in with tears in his eyes.
"Hi Princess.. you look beautiful, baby." He smiles.

"Thank you.."

"Here.. I had brought it anyway.. I know how you need it when times are a bit tough."

The smallest smile appears on Kenley's face.
"Thank you, daddy."

"You're welcome, baby girl."

Evan sits beside her and Noah watches with wide eyes.
"Daddy, I'm scared."

"Kenny, it's okay. You're strong and you'll be okay."

Kenley nods softly.
"Feel her, hurry!" She grabs her father's hand and places it on her stomach.

"Oh wow! She's saying Let me out, mommy!"

"Yes, that's exactly what she's saying so come on! Let's go!" Sarah says.

"Noah, you can ride with us! Everyone haul ass, we've got the first ever Peters/Huston grand baby on the way!"

"Danny, you need to call Gabby! She wanted to be here!"

"I'm trying to get her a flight right now, baby."

"Oh you're such a good daddy! KIDS, COME ON!" She screams.

**

"Hi daddy!"

"Gabby baby, we're on our way to the hospital. I booked you a flight and sent you the conformation email. Be safe, okay?"

"The baby's coming?!"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Oh my gosh! I'm gonna be an auntie! And you're almost a grandpa!"

"I know! You get to the airport, Auntie."

"Will do, Gramps!"

Noah's POV.

John and Wyatt were in the way back of the van and Kenley and Noah were in the middle as Sarah drove them all to the hospital.

"I'm getting another one.."

Noah takes her hand and Kenley tightens her grip on him.

"Can I feel the baby?" Wyatt says jumping out of his seat and placing his hand on her stomach.

"Ow Wyatt, hang on!" Kenley says with her face scrunched with pain.

Once the pain passes he apologizes.
"I'm sorry, Ken."

"No, don't worry about it, sweetie. I'm sorry I snapped at you."

They pull up to the hospital and Noah helps her out of the car.
John was boiling. Nine months of anger towards Noah was over flowing and he couldn't take it anymore.

"How could you do this to us? How could you do this to my sister?!" John pushes Noah making him fall back.

Noah looks up at him in shock.

"JOHN!" Kenley shouts.

John gets down on the ground and starts hitting him with his fists.

"JOHN GET OFF OF HIM!" Kenley's screams even louder.

"John!" Sarah shouts as Evan grabs him by the back of the shirt and tears him away from Noah.

"Now is not the time to be an ass! Your sister is in labor!"

"He ruined our family! She's fifteen, mom! How is Kenley going to have this baby? Is she even strong enough to survive child birth?!"

"That's enough! You Stop It!" Sarah points her finger in his face.

"AH!"

Sarah and Evan turn to their daughter who was hunched over in pain.

"You go with her!" Evan says.

"Hey!" Jessica runs over.

"What the hell is going on? Noah, what happened?" Jessica grabs his face.

"Nothing." Noah says before spitting blood out.

"My brother hit him, aunt Jessie!" Wyatt says.

"What?!"

"You hit my brother?!" Anastasia gets in John's face.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Anastasia slaps him as hard as she can.

"ANASTASIA!" Jessica yanks her back by the hair.

"STOP IT!"

"Can we just stop all this fighting and get Kenley into the hospital?!" Noah shouts

"Yes, let's go!"

After finally getting situated Kenley's constructions started to quickly intensify.
"I want an epidural! Please!" She begged.

"The doctor has to check you, baby." Sarah rubs her back.

"Mommy, I can't do this!" She sobs.

"Yes you can, Kenny!"

Once the pain passes they help her into the bed before the doctor comes in.

"Hello, Kenley! Ready to have a baby?"

"Not really." She says in a shaky voice.

"Oh you'll be okay!"

Kenley laid back as the doctor checked her.
"Alright, you're dilated one centimeter, honey."

"One?! Oh God, well can I please have an epidural?"

"I'm afraid you'll have to get to three or four centimeters, sweetie."

"Oh GOD!" She cries.

"It's okay, Kenley.."

"No it's not! This is horrible!"

Jessica sat beside her and held her hand.
"You're doing great, sweetheart.
This is all bringing me back to when you two were born..
You know.. You, John and Noah had the same due date.. you guys came two weeks early while Noah came two weeks late." Jessica says reaching over to pinch Noah's arm lightly.

"Your mother's labor was long and hard, and mine was insanely quick and 'easy'.  If you can call labor easy!  I had him faster than it takes uncle Danny in the bathroom." Jessica says making Kenley laugh.

"That's true, Ken!  The kid slipped right out of her!"

"Literally fell out of me!  It was so crazy!"

"Well I hope little Charlotte Rose takes after her daddy and not her mommy!" Kenley says rubbing her belly.

"Oh goodness, if she took after her mommy she would've hid in there for nine months!" Sarah says.

"Heh!  Sorry about that!" Kenley giggles.

"You were my little surprise, Kenny Wenny." Sarah smiles with tears in her eyes.

"Now.. you're having your own little surprise." Sarah chuckles and places her hand in her daughter's stomach.

"I love you, baby."

"I love you too, momma."

Suddenly the baby goes crazy.

"Charlie Rose what are you doing in there!" Sarah says as Jessica places her hand on her belly to feel the baby moving around.

"Please get out of me, Charlotte." Kenley groans.

"Say I coming, mommy, keep your panties on!" Sarah says in a baby voice making Kenley laugh.

**

Six hours later.

"Breathe Kenley!" Jessica says when she notices Kenley is not breathing normally.

"I can't, it hurts! I can't do it! I just want to die! Please!"

"KENLEY!" Noah yanks her hand.

She looks into his eyes and he says, "You can do this! Stop saying you can't! I've known you since birth.. No one has ever made me more happy in my entire life! You can do anything you set your mind to, remember?"

Kenley nods as she silently cries.

"I don't want to hear you say that again! I love you. I love you so much." He cries.

"And I love our baby, and I know you do too! This will all be over soon but we'll have our baby forever! Just focus on the prize. Focus on Charlie."

"I love you so much, Noah.. and I'm so sorry my stupid brother did this to you." She says softly caressing her thumb over his cut lip.

"Hey don't worry about it. He loves you and doesn't like seeing you in pain.. it's okay."

Kenley smiles softly and places her palm on his cheek.
She pulls him closer and softly kisses his lips.

"They really are sweet." Sarah says.

"I know.."

"Jessica, I'm sorry about what happened. I swear I'll beat John's ass."

"Heh, don't worry about it. I mean later we'll talk but.. we can't worry about that right now.."

Suddenly the door flies open.

"AUNTIE GABBY IS HERE!!"

"Gabriella, inside voices, please." Jessica says.

"Oh I'm okay! So what's going on? Are we ready to start? Is it baby time? I have my cute pink sweatsuit on so mom, feel free to take pictures." Gabriella smiles.

"Gabby, who the hell invited you in here?"

"Well she's my niece and I'm going to be in here!
..Besides, they don't want me in the waiting room."

"I can't imagine why!" Noah mumbles under his breath.

"What was that, Noah!" Kenley says loudly.

"Nothing, sis!"

Is it time to push? Come on, what are we waiting for?"

"Gabriella, stop talking." Jessica says.

"She's only dilated three, Gabs." Noah says.

"Three?! You mean, After daddy called me, I had time to give a proper goodbye to Julio, go on a three and a half hour plane ride, get in a fight with some bitch trying to steal my luggage, and you're only at three centimeters?"

"Gabby, you need to leave." Jessica says.

"I'm sorry my vagina is not opening as quickly as you'd like it to, Gabriella." Kenley says with absolutely zero emotion.

"I mean it's fine.. I had time to kick that woman's ass though!"

"Jesus Christ, who raised this child?!" Jessica lifts her hands.

Sarah gives her a look.

"This is all Daniel, I swear!"

They hear a knock on the door and John walks in.

"What the hell? It's not a fucking family barbecue, why the hell is everyone in here?!" Kenley says as she begins to have another contraction.

"I just came to apologize."

"I need everyone to shut up!" Kenley shouts as she grabs Noah's shirt and makes a fist.

"It's okay, breathe with me, baby."

John watch Kenley totally depending on Noah to support her. She had her arms wrapped around his neck and she let herself hang on him they swayed back and forth.

"Ah! Ohhhh God.. Ow, ow, ow.." She moans.

"Just breathe, Kenny. It's okay."

Kenley cries silently as the worst part of her contraction passes.

As it calms down Kenley looks into Noah's eyes and they continue doing their breathing.

"Good job.. feel better?"

"I don't know, is the baby out?" Kenley looks down.

Noah chuckles and kisses her forehead.

"What did you want, John?" She asks.

"I'm sorry.. to the both of you. I was wrong and I really regret doing what I did."

"What did he do?" Gabriella asks her mother.

"It was stupid."

"What did he do?!" Gabriella asks again.

"I hit Noah.."

"Oh! So that's what's on your face!"

Noah rolls his eyes and turns to John.

"It's okay. You were just trying to protect her. We're good."

John softly nods his head.
"I know it's been kinda different between us but.. you're my best friend, Noah. Out of everyone we know.. I'm glad it was you who knocked my sister up."

Kenley chuckles and places her forehead on Noah's chest.

"Thanks, man." Noah says with a small smile.

John walks over and places a hand on each of their backs.
He kisses Kenley's cheek and smiles.

"You can do this, Ken.
.. and you'll.. you're gonna make a great mom."

Kenley's lips quivers.
"Thank you, John."

She breaks away from Noah and hugs her brother.
Everyone watches them as they stay in that position for a while before Charlotte broke them up.

"Oh! I'm sorry, was a squishing her?"

"No you're fine. She's just trying to escape, I think." She chuckles.

John smiles and slowly reaches over to touch her stomach.

Kenley watched him just staring at her belly.
Finally John looks up with a smile.

"I'm gonna be an uncle!"

"Yeah!" Kenley giggles.

"This is awesome. Hurry up and get her out!"

"I'm trying!" She laughs.

**

Two hours later.

"They need to check her! She has to be at least four!" Sarah says as Kenley moans loudly in agonizing pain.

"I need the epidural, mommy! Please tell them to check me!" Kenley sobs.

"I'll be right back, baby!"

Sarah runs to find a nurse and they quickly go in to check her.

"I'm so sorry! We're so busy today!"

"WELL SO AM I! CHECK ME!" She shouts.

"Yes ma'am!" The nurse says slapping on a pair of gloves.

"Oh wow!"

"What? Don't tell me I'm still a three. I swear I'll fucking kill you."

"No! No, you're way passed a three!"

"I am?"

"Yep! It's time to have a baby! You ready to start pushing?"

"Oh my God, what?!" Kenley's eyes go wide.

"You're ten centimeters!"

"Jessica, this is what they did to me. She won't be able to get the epidural now."

"I what?!"

"Sweetie, it'll be okay."

"No it won't! Momma, I'm scared!" She sobs.

"I can't do this without drugs! Mommy, I'm suing them, I swear!"

"Kenny, stay calm okay?"

"Ken, don't be scared. You can do this, baby." Noah says holding her hands and looking into her eyes.

"Jessica, she's just a baby! My Kenny.. even her name sounds like a little girl, Jess!" Sarah cries.

"Stop crying and go stand with her!"

They started to do a few practice pushes before calling the doctor in.
Sarah stood at her right side holding her leg back while Noah had the left. Jessica stayed right beside Noah, and Gabriella was taking pictures of herself in the corner.

"Dammit Gabby! Come On!" Jessica shouts.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was all happening already! Push, Kenny!"

Kenley gives her an evil glance.

"Okay sweetie, push hard down into your bottom."

Kenley nods and begins pushing.

After half an hour of pushing the baby was finally down in the birth canal.

"Okay, just hold it there. We're going to get the doctor."

"Why just now! She's coming! I have to push!"

"Don't push!"

"AGH!" Kenley throws her head back and groans.

"Look at me, Ken."

Kenley turns to Noah and he softly caresses his thumb on her forehead as he smiles

"I love you. You're so amazing and I love you so so much."

"I love you too."

"I remember when we were five years old.. I kissed you for the first time ever.. Kenley even then I knew how much I loved you. Thank you for putting your body through this to bring our baby girl into the world. You are so so amazing, and I hope you know that."

Kenley couldn't help but cry.

"Oh Noah.. you mean the world to me.. we're SO young.. but we're strong and we're so in love. I know we'll both be the best partners to baby girl.
.. I love you, Nugget."

"I love you more, Kenny."

They both smile and share a short kiss before the doctor comes in.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

"Go ahead and push!"

Kenley immediately starts pushing as hard as she can.

"Harder, Kenley."

Kenley grunts and pushes harder.

"More, push, push, push! Harder, Ken, Harder!"

"I can't!" Kenley throws herself back and sobs.

"Stop it! You can!" Noah picks her up and pulls her leg back a little more.

Another thirty minutes pass and the baby is finally coming.

"Ken!  Oh my gosh, she's coming!  Keep pushing!"

"Oh my gosh!" Gabriella grabs her chest and her eyes fill with tears.

"Push, push, push!  Deep breath in and keep going!"

"Ah!  OW IT HURTS!"

"You have to push through the pain, baby girl." Sarah says.

"I can't do it!"

"Push, Kenley!" He tightens his grip on her.

"Oh God!  Ow!  Ow!"

"Gabriella, you're not helping!" Jessica says.

"I'm sorry but OW!  I'm not having kids!"

"Shut up, Gabby!" Kenley yells.

"Oh God!" She says as the baby's head come out.

"Oh my gosh.. her face!  Mom, look at her face!" Noah says to Jessica.

"I see her, baby!" Jessica smiles.

"Kenley, she's so cute!  Keep going, Charlie's almost here!"

Kenley gives two more big pushes and the baby was out.

"Oh my God!" Kenley looks at her daughter as they lay her on her bare chest.

"Oh she's so beautiful!  Oh goodness.. Hi baby girl! Oh you're gorgeous. Nugget, look at her."

"She's so beautiful." Noah says in tears.

"She's a blondie!" Jessica smiles as tears roll down her cheeks.

"She's perfect." Sarah says kissing the top of Kenley's head.

"I'm so proud of you, baby girl. You did so well."

"Thank you, momma.. for everything."

Sarah smiles then turns to Jessica who was down south of Kenley.

"Jessica, what the hell?"

"Sorry, I was making sure that was it!"

Sarah chuckles and walks over to embrace her.

"Congratulations, Grandma!"

"You too, Nana!"

"We have a grandchild!" Sarah laughs.

"And I have a niece! Oh you guys she's so beautiful!"

Noah and Kenley both look up and smile.

"She looks just like me!"

Their smiles fade and they give her a strange look before turning the attention back to their daughter.

"You did so amazing. I can't believe it."

"Thank you. She's here, Nugget! We're parents! I'm a mommy and you're a daddy!"

Noah smiles and softly kisses her lips before placing a kiss on his daughter.

"She's so cute. Look at her sweet little face!"

"She's adorable! She has a great set of lungs too!" He laughs.

"Heh! Little Charlie Rose.. I love you so much, Charlotte.  I promise to be the best mommy I can possibly be."

"And I promise to always take care of my girls." Noah adds.

Kenley smiles before they share a passionate kiss.
