Gene shot out of his seat and rocketed out of C.I.D as fast as possible, he shoved open the door to Alex's flat and with a crash landed in the hallway.

"Alex! Alex!" Shouted Gene

"GENEEEEE!" Screamed Alex

Gene followed the screams into Alex's living room, where he found her crying in pain on the sofa.

Ray gently let go of Alex's hand after she had softened her grip. He moved out of the way for Gene to take his place. Ray went and stood next to Shaz who was sat on the black chair in the corner of the living room, not entirely sure what to do with himself.

Gene gripped hold of Alex's hand

Sweat was appearing round Alex's forehead, she was boiling.

"Ray, go and get Bolly a wet flannel or something" Said Gene

"Yes guv" Ray answered

"Alex, look Alex I'm sorry for earlier I didn't mean what I said, you and the kid mean more than anything to me" Gene had a hint of sorrow in his voice.

Alex felt a pop in her stomach, there was a sudden splash of water. Alex's waters had broken.

"Shit. S'alright Alex, it's alright, you're gonna be alright I'm here, nothings gonna happen to you Bols, I promise" Gene softly said

"Gene, I'm so scared" Alex whimpered

Ray came back in with a wet tea towel.

"What part of flannel is hard to understand D.I Carling?" Asked Gene

"Sorry guv, I couldn't find one, but this'll do won't it?" Ray Said

Gene grabbed the tea towel out of Ray's hands and gingerly smoothed it over Alex's forehead.

In the meanwhile Shaz had got out of the chair and went and fetched some white towels from Alex's bathroom.

Gene lifted up Alex's legs slightly so that Shaz could place the towels on the sofa. The sofa was dripping wet with amniotic fluid. Alex's jeans were also soaking wet, she needed to change.

"Right Alex, come on, I'm going to help you go and get changed" Gene said to Alex

"No! I can't move it hurts!" Exclaimed Alex

"Yes you can Alex, and you're going to whether you like it or not" Gene retorted.

Gene helped Alex sit up; Alex clutched her stomach. Gently he lifted her up out of the sofa, she could barely stand. Gene hated seeing her like this. They started making their way towards the bedroom.

Suddenly Alex was caught bent double again. Gene supported her and stopped her from falling to the floor. He began rubbing her back.

"Arghhhhh, GENEEEEE please make it stop it hurts so much" Alex said between breathing deeply

"Alex I wish I could love" Gene calmly said to her

They eventually got to the bedroom, where Alex collapsed on the bed whilst Gene fished out a pair of black jeans out of her wardrobe.

"Let me help you get undressed Alex, you can't do it on your own" Gene said

"Thanks Gene, you know what you said to me earlier, you know that I and the baby mean more to you than anything, do you really mean it?" Alex questioned Gene

"Of course I do, you daft cow. I was in a pissed mood earlier and I honestly didn't mean it Bols, I'm so sorry" Gene said to Alex

"You're forgiven" Alex managed a weak smile towards Gene

"Thanks Bols" Gene smiled back at Alex

Gene unzipped and pulled off Alex's soaking jeans, threw them on the washing pile and helped her get into her black pair; he then slipped on her black leather boots. No sooner than Gene had finished putting the jeans and boots on Alex felt another contraction coming.

"Arghhh" Alex screamed her lungs threatening to explode; she lowered her head and clutched her bump.

"Alex, we've got to get you to hospital" Gene said to Alex looking slightly worried

They got back to the living room.

"Raymondo, Shaz, you're coming with me and D.I. Drake to the hospital" Gene told them both

"There is absolutely no bloody way that I am watching my senior officer giving birth" Ray announced

"No, but you're sitting with Alex in the back of the car on the way there Ray. End of" Gene made his point heard.

Alex's contractions were getting closer and closer together by the minute. She was so scared. It hadn't been this way with Molly. But then again it had been 1996 not 1983, things had changed in that space of time.

The four of them made their way down the stairs, through Luigi's and to the Quattro.

"Ray, support Alex while I open the Quattro" Gene asked Ray

"K guv" Ray answered

Ray took Gene's place and held Alex, trying to keep her up straight. With one hand behind her back and the other round her shoulder.

Gene fumbled in his pocket for his car keys, he grabbed them, clicked the button and the car was unlocked.

"Arghhh" Alex cried out

"Come on Gene hurry up, otherwise I'll bloody be giving birth in your beloved Quattro" Alex pointed out

Fuck off is she giving birth in my car

Ray let go of Alex as Gene helped her get into the back of the car.

"Y'know guv I could drive the Quattro and you go in the back of the car with Alex?" Ray had asked Gene hoping he would say yes to this idea. Ray didn't exactly enjoy the thought of having to sit in the back with Alex screaming and crying like that.

"No Raymondo. You're going in the back. Nobody but me drives my bloody car" Gene insisted

Ray suddenly felt sick with fear.

Shaz got into the front of the car with Gene, and Ray slowly made his way round to the back of the car to be with Alex.

"Come on Ray, she bloody aint having my kid in my car, so get your arse in gear and fucking hurry up" Gene was gradually losing his temper now.

Ray finally sunk into the back of the Quattro. Alex moved her feet sharply across Ray's legs.

"Ouch" muttered Ray, the straps of her shoes digging into his legs.

The car revved into life and they sped off towards the hospital. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes away.

"Arghhhhh" Alex cried out. This was her 6th contraction she was only another 4 away before the baby would begin to come.

Traffic started to pile up along the roads. Gene was getting impatient.

"Move ya bastards or I'll rip you innards out" Gene shouted at the drivers

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Alex cried out once again, she held her arms out towards Ray.

Gene turned around.

"Ray, don't just sit there, hold her hands for god sake, do something useful" Gene moaned at Ray

Ray took hold of Alex's hands and her grip tightened like it had before in her flat.

"Come on Alex, you're doing fine, you're doing great, you can do it" Ray praised Alex

"It just hurts so much, so much" Alex whimpered

The traffic was still not moving.

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhh, GENEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! PLEASE! I NEED YOU IN THE BACK WITH ME!" Alex screamed at the top of her voice.

"I know love, I know" Gene calmly said to Alex

"PULL OVER!" Alex cried

"Arghhhh" she cried, this was her 9th, and she could feel the baby coming down

"GENE IT'S COMING! I CANT HOLD IT, I NEED TO PUSH!" Alex screamed out

No this isn't happening please god no both Gene and Ray shared this thought.

Gene cut into the next lane, and pulled into a lay by that was there. He stopped the engine and turned around to face Alex. She was crying, she was in so much pain, and nothing that Gene could say or do was going to make her feel any better. Her mascara was running down her face.

"Ray take her trousers and knickers off" Gene shouted at Ray

"WHAT! No bloody way." Ray retorted

"You're gonna be ok ma'am" Shaz sweetly said to Alex

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Alex screamed

This wasn't exactly the way I ever thought I'd get to see Alex Drake half naked thought Ray

Ray gently let go of Alex's hands, Alex's hands then shot out for Gene's, she was shaking. Gene took hold of her hand, and her other hand then flung behind her head. Ray unzipped Alex's jeans and peeled her knickers off.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Alex cried out

"Push Alex, push" Gene encouraged Alex

Alex did as she was told, Ray could see it coming, he put his hands on her knees which were trembling.

"GO ON ALEX!" Shouted Ray

She continued to push.

"Guv, why can I see feet instead of a head?" Ray asked Gene

"ITS BREECH YOU PRICK" Screamed Gene

"That's why it's hurting so much Alex!" Gene told Alex

Alex shot a look at Gene

"Well it could be worse, it could be coming out sideways" Alex managed to smile

Gene and Shaz smiled back at her. There was no use panicking it would just make Alex worse.

Ray began looking queasy, Gene had noticed this.

"Ray, looks like you're gonna puke any minute, shift it, you're not throwing up over Alex, we're swapping places" Gene said

Ray had breathed a sigh of relief, he let go of Alex's legs, opened the bright metallic red door and jumped out, Gene had done the same thing and they swapped seats.

Gene himself wasn't exactly sure what to do, but his Bolly needed him no matter what.

"Um, right Alex, my only advice is just to do what your body's telling you to do" Gene told Alex

"WHAT FUCKING USELESS ADVICE" Alex screamed back at Gene

Alex felt the overwhelming urge to push the same she had with Molly.

"Gene its coming!" Alex cried to Gene

Gene placed his hands on Alex's knees like Ray had.

"Go on Alex! Go for it!" Gene encouraged her

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhh" Alex cried out

"Push Alex, go on!" Gene shouted

"YOU PUSH!" Alex shouted back

Ray didn't know where to look so he just sunk down in the seat. Shaz was turned around trying to calm Alex down. It wasn't working.

"Bolls, I can see the body! Come on sweetheart!" Gene said

Alex felt the familiar sensation of giving life to the world. She pushed as hard as she could.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Alex screamed

Gene once again moved his hands to catch the baby. With a squelch the baby slithered out into Gene's arms.

"Well done Alex! We have a baby girl" Gene praised Alex

There wasn't a cry. There was sheer silence.

Alex had caught her breath back.

"Gene…why isn't she crying! Do something!" Alex shakily said to Gene

Gene rubbed the baby's stomach and left a soft breath into her mouth.

"Come on little one you can do it" Gene said

There was a small but loud enough to hear cry. Their little girl was alive. Gene took his jacket off and wrapped the small bundle into the jacket. He handed the bundle over to Alex, and laid the baby on her chest. Alex started crying tears of happiness.

"Hello there little one" Alex smiled weakly

"Bolls, she needs a name" Gene told her

"You choose one Gene" Alex told him

"Molly, then you can be reminded of your other daughter, plus it's a beautiful name like her mums" Gene smiled at Alex

"Molly it is then" Alex said.
