BabababababaBA!
The rest of the vacation went rather smoothly, except for the several meetings with Josh, and when the two weeks were over everyone packed to go home and sadly got on the plane.
The next few moths went by and it was finally time for Madison to have the baby. Ephram became nervous. The day finally came when they got the call.
Ephram was sitting at home flipping through the channels. He heard the phone ring and he got up to answer, "Hello?"
"Hello, is this Ephram Brown?" asked a voice on the other end.
"Yes," Ephram knew that he was going to be getting a call when Madison was in labor so the professional voice made him nervous.
"You are needed down here at the Denver Hospital. Your baby is being born," with that the woman hung up and Ephram was left standing there.
"Lilly, Dad, Delia, its time!" Ephram took off up stairs and grabbed Lilly pulling her down the stairs. They hurried to the car and took off immediately. Ephram sped down the highway and made it to Denver in two hours.
He barely waited for Lilly to get out of the car as he ran to the front desk. He finally found the room and went in to help Madison with giving birth.
Lilly waited in the waiting room biting her lip and trying to find the news interesting. When that didn't work she flipped through a few magazines on the table next her, but she still couldn't keep her mind off of Madison and Claire. Eventually Andy and Delia had made it the hospital, since he didn't go quite as fast as Ephram it took longer for him to get there.
"Is everything okay?" said Andy as he walked into the waiting room and took a seat next to Lilly.
"I don't know. They haven't told me anything. I guess they would if anything was wrong wouldn't they?" Lilly said thankful to have someone to talk to.
Andy just shrugged and picked up a newspaper.
After waiting for what seemed like hours, they saw a doctor coming out of the emergency room.
"You're son has a beautiful new baby girl. She is healthy, except for her lip and palate. You can go and see her in a little while," with that the doctor turned and went back to the room. Soon Ephram came out of the room in a hospital gown over his clothes. He had a huge smile on his face and he skipped up and hugged Lilly.
"Did you hear? Oh my God, you have to come see her," Ephram led everyone to the room and saw Madison lying on the hospital bed with a baby in her arms.
Madison looked rough, but extremely happy with the bundle in her arms. She didn't even look up when Andy and Lilly, Delia was made to stay in the waiting room, came into the room. She talked sweet little nothings to the girl.
"Madison, can I hold her?" Ephram said sitting next to Madison.
Madison smiled and gingerly handed him the baby. Ephram scooped the little girl in his arms and smiled down at her.
"Everyone, meet Claire Madison Brown," Ephram said walking over to Andy and Lilly. Ephram, true fatherly style, grabbed Claire's hand and waved her hand at them.
Andy walked over to Ephram and smiled at the little girl. He noticed immediately the girls lip, but he knew that it would fine. It wasn't as bad as some of the pictures he had seen, and in those pictures the baby looked completely normal afterwards. Lilly smiled at her and then looked back up at Ephram. He looked like he had never been happier. He was smiling down at the girl and played with her hand. Soon a doctor walked into the room and took Claire from Ephram, they needed to feed her and to do that they had to put a tube down her nose. When Claire was gone he turned to Lilly.
"Oh, my God, I've never seen something so beautiful in my life. How can I love something so much that I haven't known but for an hour?" Ephram said with a huge grin on his face.
Andy spoke up, "I thought the same thing when the doctor put you in my hands,"
Ephram looked at his dad and smiled. He turned to Lilly and smiled, wrapping his arms around her. "We have gotten way over our heads,"
Lilly laughed. "Definitely, but I think we're going to make it through. If Madison still wants to leave that is,"
Everyone looked at Madison who was silently staring at everyone. "I can't stay, but what I will do is visit every weekend. I don't think I could stay away from Claire that long,"
Ephram walked over to Madison and laid his hand on her. He saw what he never thought could be possible. He saw a human life come out of her, and he knew she must feel like hell. "You are welcome for as long as you want to be there. We just want you to have a good life."
Madison smiled and moved her hand from underneath his. Ephram walked back over to Lilly and kissed her cheek.
After being in the hospital a couple of days, everyone was able to go home. Claire came home with Ephram and was a nightmare the first three months of her life. She got her lip surgery and the Brown's were finally able to go to sleep. Eventually Claire started to walk and had her final surgery. When Ephram and Lilly graduated from high school they were both accepted to Julliard. During the first year of college, they started to plan their wedding. They were married the same day that Ephram's parents were married. They both worked hard and never grew apart. They had three kids between them, named Amarilly, Jacob, and Rebekkah. After years of silence, Lilly finally came to speaking terms with her mother, and they are now best friends. Claire grew up knowing about the story of her mother and father, and grew to love both parents unconditionally. She treated Lilly just as she would a real mother, but always called her by her actual name, so she wouldn't offend anyone. Delia grew up to be a famous baseball player and married a nice young man that was on the team with her. Andy never left Everwood, even with all off his family sprinkled across the country. After many years of dating, he married Nina. Madison was able to achieve her career goals by becoming a famous singer, even though her band wasn't included in the contract deal. Bright lived near Ephram, who was living in New York, and became a great lawyer, believe it or not. He had worked his tale off in college and went to law school. Amy finally got over Ephram, met a nice man, and moved far away from Everwood, only to think about it again when she wrote a book about a little town full of drama and laughs.
Irv closed his journal and set it to the side. He had been writing the story for ages it seemed, and now it was finally over. He pushed it over and smiled at his sleeping wife. He crawled up next to her and he fell asleep against, for the last time ever.
There, the last installment. I know kind of a sad note with Irv's death, but I think it tied off all of the loose ends. Thank you to all who have been following my story, you guys are great and I love you all. I felt it was time I finished the story because it was getting way too long. Again I love you all and thanks for reading.
