Arthur
You went into labour in the middle of the night. You had woken up needing the toilet. Rolling out out of bed, trying not to wake Arthur you waddle over to the toilet. However before you could get there you felt water trickle down your legs. At first you think you had wet yourself but after realising you still needed the loo and now you had pains, you realise that you are in fact in labour
"Arthur!" you shout, but he's in such a deep sleep he doesn't wake up. So you waddle over to him and shake him awake
"What? what's going on? are you ok?"
"The babies coming" you smile at him even though it's so dark in the room that he can't see you
"Now?"
"Well not this second but I've gone into labour. You best ring Polly"
"Errr yeah. Yeah ring Polly" Arthur gets up dazed and walks to the phone while you finally go to the bathroom.

Polly thankfully answered and made her way over as quick as she could
"Ok YN I can see babies head so just one big push now" with one final push you stop screaming and instead the cries of a little baby can be heard. Polly wraps the baby up in a blanket
"Congratulations YN a beautiful baby girl"
"A girl?"
"Yes" she places the baby in your arms "I'll go and get Arthur.

"She's beautiful" you say watching your husband hold her
"Just like her mother" you laugh at Arthur then yawn "go to sleep love. I'll watch her"
"I feel gross. I'd like a bath" Arthur nods passing the baby to you
"I'll run you one" with that he gives you a kiss on your forehead before leaving the room.

Tommy
While sat in one of Tommys meetings at your home, you had started to feel uncomfortable. Rubbing your stomach you tried to sooth the little one inside of you. Due to your last pregnancy you knew that before actual labour you can have pains a few weeks before hand. The meeting dragged on and the pains only seemed to get worse, but it wasn't until you noticed that they were coming in waves. You watch the clock that's behind Tommy and when you started to count 7 minutes between each pain you knew you were in labour
"So John your..."
"Tom" you say looking at his face now "the babies coming"
"Shit" he rushes over to you helping you up
"Errr YN did you pee yourself?" Finn asks
"Nope just my water breaking which means this little one will be here within the next hour or so going by my labour with Charlie.
Unfortunately Tommy didn't have time to get you upstairs and into your shared room before you said you could feel the babies head
"Fucking hell love. Why didn't you say something sooner?"
"Because I thought it was just those pains I had last time"
"That doesn't matter now. Lay her down on your desk" Polly instructs
"I am not having my child on.... ahhh"
"You haven't got much choice" Tommy helps you down on the desk
"Knees up"
"Everyone get out. Tommy go and find some blankets and towels" Polly says making everyone move.

Within a few minutes your holding your baby girl on your chest with the Shelby family all around
"As nice as this all is. Can someone please help me into an actual bed, my back fucking hurts" Tommy chuckles at you taking the baby from your arms and handing her to Ada. He scoops you up in his arms and carried you upstairs into your bedroom, Ada following.

John
Labour started during the night, but you had slept through the majority of it. It was actually John who woke you up the tell you you had wet the bed. You groan getting out of bed feeling annoyed and embarrassed, but as you stood up a sharp pain had you doubled over
"Ahhh I get it now. You didn't piss yourself, your in labour" John says chuckling
"Pardon?"
"Your waters have broken"
"How do you....oh Martha"
"Lay down knees up let's see if there's a head"
"You are not..."
"YN Polly is a good 2 hours away. I want to know if I bother ringing her or not" reluctantly you lay down in your bed and bend your knees
"Looks like it's going to just be me and you"

John didn't have time to ring Polly because the baby was coming. Contractions quickened and in no time you were pushing your baby out. Finally you gave birth to a little boy and when John rang the family to tell them the exciting news, Polly ended up giving him a earful.
