‘Nick get up.’ ‘Why?’ ‘I’m in labor.’ ‘Are you sure it’s not just another Higgs?’ ‘My water broke dammit it’s for real this time we gotta get to the hospital.’ ‘Okay I’m up I’m up.’

‘Just one more push c’mon Nerine you can do this.’ ‘You said just one more push one more push ago so this better be the last fucking time I’m pushing because I can’t take this anymore.’ ‘Yeah it’s the last time…c’mon now push.’ ‘Ah shut up!!!’ ‘Honey relax.’ ‘You just keep quite okay you put me in this situation so just shut the hell up.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘Don’t gimme that…’

Nerine was silenced by a high-pitched cry filling the room. ‘Well congratulations you two your baby boy is here. Would you like to cut the cord Nick?’ ‘Yeah.’ After Nick cut the cord the nurse wrapped the baby in a blanket and gave him to Nick. ‘Look boy there’s mommy, say hey.’ ‘Hi boy.’ ‘Sorry sir but I have to take him away to get cleaned up.’ ‘Oh sure yeah.’

Nick gave Blaize to the nurse and then turned back to Nerine. ‘Thank you for giving me that little boy.’ ‘Thank you too.’ ‘I love you.’ ‘I love you too Nick.’

‘So, are you two ready to head on home?’ ‘Yeah damn straight I am I’m sick of this damned hospital. I need a decent bed with my own pillows and everything.’ ‘I know what you mean. Well your all checked and cleared to go just pick up your scream package on the way out and be off.’ ‘Yeah thanks doc that’s encouraging.’ ‘You’ll manage. I’ll see you in two weeks for a checkup.’ ‘Yeah sure thing.’
