Laura P.O.V.
Later that night my back pain has gotten worse. I'm in bed with Tom trying to relax but can't get comfortable. "Laura, are you alright?" Tom asks, worried. " I'm fine." I say trying to hide the discomfort from my face. I notice Tom has one of Willow's tennis balls and runs it along my back. I find that it is helping with the pain. As he continues to do this I find my pain getting worse. I'm trying my hardest not to yell, but I am wincing a bit and I can tell Tom is nervous. I crawl off the bed and find myself feeling suddenly nauseous. As I am getting sick I feel my pain getting worse. "Laura, are you alright?" Tom asks, I can tell by his tone he is scared. " I'm okay, I'll be out in a minute. " I tell him. I then look down and notice blood going down my leg. I then see a baby's head. I grab a towel and lay it on the floor. I try my hardest not to scream in pain as I yell "TOM I NEED YOU!!" I'm trying my hardest to breath as Tom comes into the bathroom and notices me on the floor. "What's wrong?" He asks, panicked. " Baby. " I manage to get out as the next contraction hits. "What do I do?" Tom asks, nervous. "Grab another towel and a shoelace." I say fighting the urge to push. Tom runs and grabs the items and looks at me and asks, "What do I do now?" "Catch the baby." I tell him, while pushing. "I can see the head." Tom says. With the next contraction Tom says, " The heads out. " I talk him through how to get the shoulders out as I breath. Once that's done I continue to push as Tom encourages me. "That's it Laura one more time." He tells me. I give one more push and then I feel no more pain. I look at Tom and say " Hand me the other towel. " Tom hands me the towel after wrapping up the baby. I put my finger down the baby's nose and mouth to clear out mucus and the baby let's out a loud cry. I can feel myself breathing a sigh of relief. "You did it." Tom tells me, kissing the top of my head. " We did it." I tell him, kissing him. "Thank you." I tell him. " For what? " he asks. "For helping me bring our beautiful surprise baby into the world." I tell him. I then tell Tom to grab the shoelace and tie off the baby's umbilical cord. He then runs for his phone to call 999. EMTs arrive a few minutes later and the baby and I are loaded up into the ambulance with Tom following behind. Once at the hospital, a nurse takes the baby and checks the baby's vitals. I am wheeled into a room and an joined by Tom shortly after. We sit and wait for word on our newest addition. As we are waiting my head starts to hurt really bad. "Tom, I don't feel right." I say, looking at him. The words were no sooner out of my mouth, I slipped into unconsciousness.
Tom P.O.V.
Later that night I notice Laura's back pain has gotten worse. We are in bed and I can tell she is trying to relax but can't get comfortable. "Laura, are you alright?" I ask, worried. " I'm fine." She says trying to hide the discomfort from her face. I have one of Willow's tennis balls and I run it along her back, hoping it will help. It seems to be helping with the pain. As I continue to do this I notice her pain getting worse. I'm can tell she is trying her hardest not to yell, but she is wincing a bit and I am nervous. She crawls off the bed and I watch her run to the loo with her hand over her mouth. She slams the door shut and I can hear her getting violently sick. "Laura, are you alright?" I ask,scared. "I'm okay, I'll be out in a minute. " She tells me. I then suddenly hear her yell, "TOM I NEED YOU!!" I run into the bathroom and find Laura laying on the bathroom floor with a folder towel underneath her while she trying not to scream in pain. "What's wrong?" I ask, panicked. " Baby. " she manages to get out as the next contraction hits. "What do I do?" I ask, nervous. "Grab another towel and a shoelace." She says fighting the urge to push. I run and grab the items and look at Laura and ask, "What do I do now?" "Catch the baby." She tells me, while pushing. "I can see the head." I say. With the next contraction I say, " The heads out. " She talks me through how to get the shoulders out as she is breathing. Once that's done she continues to push as I encourage her. "That's it Laura one more time." I tell her. She gives one more push and then I see the baby come out and I grab it quickly and hold it close to me. "Hand me the other towel. " Laura says. I hand her the towel after wrapping up the baby. I watch her put her finger down the baby's nose and mouth to clear out mucus and the baby let's out a loud cry. I can feel myself breathing a sigh of relief. "You did it." I tell her, kissing the top of her head. " We did it." She tells me, kissing me. "Thank you." She tells me. " For what? " I ask.

Laura is wheeled into a room and I join her shortly after. We sit and wait for word on our newest addition. As we are waiting, I notice she doesn't look good. "Tom, I don't feel right." she says, looking at me. The words were no sooner out of her mouth, she slips into unconsciousness.
