As Beth's due date got closer, Mick had become almost unbearable to be around. If Beth moved the slightest bit, Mick would almost always be by her side. Sure, everyone understood that he was worried, but he was getting ridiculous.

Josef, Eric, and David would take Mick out every once in a while, just to get him to try and relax. On those nights, Coraline, Danielle, and Sarah would stay with Beth, to keep her company and to make sure that nothing went wrong. Ana, Kara and Nikki would make sure that they got far away, to escape the baby drama, but made sure that they weren't too far away in case something happened.

"Oh my God!" Nikki said, as she and Ana sat down on a bench in the park "This is never ending! I've decided that Mick has officially gone insane!"

"I agree" Kara said "I mean, he wasn't this bad before. Now, it's just…weird!"

"I understand that this is the first time he has experienced this" Ana said "But, really? He acts as if Beth is a freaking time bomb!"

"When is the due date?" Kara asked

"Two weeks" Ana replied

Just then, Ana's phone rang. She had gotten a text message from Sarah.

"Or now"

"What?" Nikki asked

"The due date's now" Ana replied, quickly standing "Come on! We have to go!"

&&&&&

Josef, Mick, Eric, and David were at Josef's mansion, having some drinks. Eric, David, and Josef were desperately trying to get Mick's mind off of Beth for a little while, but nothing seemed to be working.

"Guys, I should really get back" Mick said, trying to head out the door

"No!" David said, stopping him "You are staying for a little while longer. You need to relax!"

"Seriously, Mick" Eric said "Sit"

Mick reluctantly sat down on the couch. "How long are you going to keep me here?"

"I haven't decided yet" Josef said, as his phone rang. His eyes widened.

"Something wrong?" David asked

"Mick, you can leave now" Josef said, quickly tossing Mick his jacket

"Are you crazy?" Eric asked "We just got him here!"

"He needs to go" Josef said, looking at Mick, who had worry written all over his face "His wife has gone into labor"

Mick was out the door in a flash, with the others desperately trying to follow him.

&&&&&

Ana, Kara and Nikki got to the hospital before the father-to-be and the others. They found Coraline and Danielle sitting in the waiting room.

"Guys!" exclaimed Ana "What's going on? Where's Sarah?"

"She's with Beth" Coraline explained "The doctor's don't want too many people in with Beth right now"

"Is everything ok?" Nikki asked "No complications?"

"Everything's fine" Danielle said "Now, we're just in for the long wait. When the doctor checked her, he said that Beth was only 2 centimeters dilated"

"Crap!" Ana said "We're going to be here forever!"

"Are you upset?" Coraline asked, a small smile playing on her lips

"Do you realize that we are going to have to deal with Dad all that time?" Ana asked

Everyone's eyes widened. "You know" Danielle said "I hadn't thought of that"

"You're right" Kara agreed "This is going to be a very long night!"

It was then that the father-to-be burst into the maternity ward of St. Joseph's Hospital. Ana, Nikki, Kara, Danielle, and Coraline could barely make out the others desperately trying to catch up with Mick.

"What room?" Mick demanded, barely even slowing down

"Room 33" Danielle replied, pointing at the room.

Mick replied with a nod as he raced into the room. Sarah came out only moments later.

"How's everything?" Coraline asked, as the rest of the men entered the waiting room

"You mean Beth or Mick?" Sarah replied, putting her hands in her back pockets

"Either" Josef said, somewhat out of breath

"Beth is doing fine" Sarah said "They put her on some medications to dull the pain"

"And Mick?" David asked

"Could he have possibly changed that much in 5 minutes?" Eric asked

"Oh yes" Sarah said "He definitely can"

"What did he do?" Ana asked

"Let's just say that every once in a while, we're going to have to get him out of there" Sarah said "Otherwise, Beth will go insane"

&&&&&

It was a very long night. Ana, Kara and Nikki had been back and forth to the hospital gift shop many times. Sarah had fallen asleep on Josef's shoulder. Coraline and Danielle were trying to read magazines, but they couldn't concentrate. David and Eric were playing cards, cards that Ana, Kara and Nikki had bought in the gift shop, but were running out of games to play.

Everyone had been sitting in the waiting room for hours. No one wanted to leave. They were afraid that something would happen if they did.

Every once in a while, a scream could be heard coming from Beth's room. This always perked everyone's attention. Apparently, Beth had decided to have a natural birth and was taken off of the medication.

"She must be crazy" David said, after hearing Beth let out a yell "Absolutely crazy"

"She probably did this because this is the only time she will ever give birth" Coraline said "I mean, after this, I'm sure that she's going to be turned"

"I can understand that" Ana said "But, she's giving birth to twins!"

"Hey, if that's what she wants to do, that's what she wants to do" Josef said "There's nothing we can do that will make her change her mind"

It was then that Mick walked out of the room. Everyone looked up eagerly, hoping to hear some good news.

"She kicked me out" Mick said "She told me to send someone else in"

The teenagers couldn't help but start laughing, Ana being the one laughing the hardest. The adults tried to hide their amusement, but were having a hard time not smiling.

"So, please, someone go in with her" Mick said "She threatened to stake me if I didn't get someone else to go in"

"I'll go" Danielle said, standing "We wouldn't want you staked the day your children are born!"

Danielle chuckled as she walked into Beth's room. Mick took Danielle's seat and sighed.

"What did you do?" Ana asked, crossing her arms

"I don't know" Mick replied "I think it was because I kept asking her if she wanted the medication"

"Smooth, Mick" Eric said "Smooth"

&&&&&

Almost everyone had made their rounds into Beth's room. Soon enough, nighttime became dawn…and Beth was almost fully dilated.

Ana had fallen asleep with her head lying on Eric's shoulder. Eric chuckled when he heard Ana's faint snore. "Ana" he said "Ana, wake up"

"Are the babies here?" Ana said, shooting up into a sitting position "Did I miss it?"

Josef chuckled. "No" he said "Don't worry. You didn't miss anything"

"Then why did you wake me up?" Ana asked, yawning "I was having a nice sleep"

"It's almost dawn" Coraline replied "Time to get up"

"Why so early?" Ana asked, stretching

"Beth's almost fully dilated" Sarah explained "The moment is quickly approaching"

Ana replied with a nod as she looked around the waiting room. "Where's the father-to-be?"

"David had to take him away for a little while" Eric explained "He was getting really restless and anxious"

"More than before?" Ana asked, in disbelief

"Surprisingly, yes" Josef said. He looked over at his daughter and Kara, who were also asleep. "We should probably wake them up too"

Danielle smiled as she got up and walked over to the two girls. They didn't wake up quite as easily as Ana did, but they got up all the same.

"Mr. St. John?"

Everyone looked up when they heard the voice of the nurse.

"Where's Mr. St. John?" the nurse asked, after realizing that Mick wasn't in the room

"Is it time?" Josef asked, as he quickly stood and walked over to the nurse

"Just about" the nurse replied "Get Mr. St. John here quick!"

Everyone was now wide awake as Josef quickly pulled out his phone and called David. Within 5 minutes after Josef hung up the phone, Mick was back in the waiting room.

"This is it, Mr. St. John" the nurse said "You better get in there"

Mick nodded as he rushed past his family and into room 33. Everyone else, reluctantly, sat back down.

"I can't believe this is finally happening!" Nikki said, excitedly "The moment is finally here!"

"It took long enough" Eric said, jokingly "How long have we been here?"

"Only you would care about something like that" Ana said, with a smile

"Hey, what can I say?" Eric said "I care about a great many pointless things"

"And that's why we keep you around" Coraline said
