" What do you mean ' Your water broke'?" panicked Peter.
" Like I said: My water broke! I have to get to a hospital... now!" screamed Sterling. Peter helped Sterling get from the table. She was waddling very hastily while Peter was leading the way. We all stood up and followed Sterling outside.
" Hey!" I shouted. The couple turned around and look at us.
" We're coming with you.", stated Valeria.
" No, you guys don't have to do that. Valeria, it's your wedding day and I don't wanna ruin that."
" You're not ruining it, you just made it even better. Having your child born on the day of my wedding will be..."
" Memorable.", finished Josh. I looked at him, smiling. He smiled back.
" We're going with you whether you like it or naww!" exclaimed Aholibanna.
" Yeah. Agreed.", said Pamela drinking a blue Slurpee. Sterling shrugged and all of us walked to our cars and headed for the hospital.
------------------------------------------------
" UGH!!!! GET THIS THING OUT OF ME!!!!" I could see the pain in Sterling's eyes. She was screaming at the top of her lungs. Peter was holding her left hand while Valeria held the right.
" It's gonna be okay, baby. I'm right here.", Peter assured Sterling. Now she was crying tears of pure pain. Then after 20 minutes, the doctor finally came.
" Oh now you wanna come!" screamed Karyne flailing her arms in the air.
" Hello. My name is Dr. Corey. Now, which one of you is Sterling R.?" asked Dr. Corey.
" She's in room 224.", answered a nurse.
" Look, we've been waiting for 20 minutes and she's screaming in that room right now. If you don't go in there and help her I will smash this Slurpee in your face!" screamed Pamela angrily. We all looked at her in shock. She's never been that angry ever! Even the doctor had a shock expression.
" Just saying.", Pamela finished calmly. The doctor laughed and went inside the room Sterling was in.

2 hours later.....
" I'm so hungry!" whined Dayana.
" Me too.", said Kenny and Karyne.
" Hey, there's a McDonald's in this hospital. You guys want anything?" asked Pamela.
" Yes!" we all said in unison.
" Okay, I guess we'll all go. Leah, Josh you guys coming?" asked Kenny.
" Nahh, we're gonna stay here.", said Josh. After that, everyone left to get McDonald's.
" Oh Leayah! Get me 2 Crispy Ranch Snackwraps, a medium fry, and a medium fruit punch.", I shouted as she was walking away. She nodded and she then disappeared.
" I hope that Sterling is okay.", I said worriedly.
" Yeah me too.", said Josh. It was silent.
" Leah, you know I love you right?" said Josh.
" Yeah if course."
" And we've been dating for a year now and..."
" And?"
" I wanted to ask, if you wanted to live together."
" Um...", I hesitated.
" If you don't want to, I understand."
" No! I actually would like to live with you, Josh." We both smiled and shared a long kiss.
" Ahem." We turned around to see Dr. Corey.
" Is you guys Sterling's friends?"
" Yeah."
" Well, her baby is now born." Both looked at each other and slowly walked in the room. I texted Leayah and told her that Sterling's baby was born. As we walked in the room, we saw Sterling in a pool of sweat and her holding the baby. Peter was standing beside the bed, feeling the baby's hair. We anxiously walked in.
" Hey guys.", Sterling said serenely.
" Hey. How ya feeling?" I asked.
" Okay." Then we turned around to see all our friends by the door.
" Come in guys. Don't be scared.", said Peter. Everyone else came in and circled the bed. In Sterling's arms, was a beautiful baby. It had Peter's eyes and Sterling's hair. It was wrapped in a pink blanket.
" It's a girl.", said Valeria.
" Guys, I want you to meet Harmony." We all smiled as we watched the baby open it's eyes to see the world.
" Valeria?"
" Yeah?"
" I want you to be the godmother of Harmony. I've known you for the longest and you've been there for me for everything.", said Sterling.
Valeria shed a tear. " It would be my honor." Sterling handed the baby to Valeria and we all stood there together.
Like a family.
