Ok guys so this one is for ButterfliesOnTheWall. She asked for a one shot with some Cabbie and Bade friendship and I had to add Tandre in there cause I just really, really love Jade and Tori being all friendly sisters and stuff. SO, as you can probably tell ... I'm on a birth-scene kick lately. I don't know why, they just seem to be coming the easiest to me right now. I think I'm actually going to redo Lennon's birth scene for Tiny Little Human next. I blame the pain meds right now (I fucked up my foot BAD today. I've been crying all night in pain and the meds kicked in a little while ago so I was able to finish this). So yeah. I apologize if it seems like I write the same things all the time but I try and change them up and make them different each time so while you're reading the same thing, it's still different too. Sorry, I know I'm rambling right now, but it's what I do sometimes haha. Also if the timeline seems a bit messed up compared to the other one shots, I apologize. Math and I don't exactly get along too well haha. So use your imaginations. Okay, on with the next chapter!

Also, if anyone is interested and wants to see how gross my foot looks, you can look me up on Instagram! You can use ink361 (if you don't have instagram). I'm asaintedsinner. (DUH hahaha) I've posted a couple of pics.

"I don't want to do this anymore," Cat's voice whimpered, sounding more like a scared child than the mid-twenty-year-old that she was. The last time the nurse had been in, she'd told them that Cat was only dilated to five centimeters and still had awhile to go. Jade shushed her, kissing the top of her head. "No! It hurts too much, Jade! It's everywhere! It's my belly and it's my back and my legs! Why do my stupid legs hurt?" Cat's voice trailed off as another contraction hit and she let out a shriek. Tori and Jade shared helpless looks over the top of Cat's head, Tori rubbing Cat's back this time as Jade talked Cat through the contraction. When it was over, Jade looked down at Cat. "I think it's time for you to get an epidural," she told her honestly. Cat started to protest, shaking her head. "Kitty, listen to me. You're exhausted and you still have awhile to go. They can just give you one shot of the medicine and you can relax and sleep, okay? You're going to need all your energy when it comes time to push."

Cat looked over at Tori who nodded, agreeing with Jade. They hated to see their best friend in so much pain and it was obvious that Cat wasn't coping well with the pain. Of course, it probably didn't help that her husband had passed out the first time the nurse had checked Cat's dilation. Robert Shapiro was currently in the ER with Beckett Oliver and Andre Harris getting four stitches in his forehead. "But you and Jade did it without drugs," Cat pouted, feeling like a failure for not being able to do it without them. Jade rolled her eyes a bit as she looked at Tori and then back at Cat. "I demanded one when I was in labor with Katie. I told Beck to get it for me," she told her honestly. "I was just too far along to actually get it, so they told me no," she smirked, shrugging her shoulders. Tori nodded, looking back at Cat. "Same for me. By the time I asked for it, it was too late. I was already in transition and Maddox was born 45 minutes later. That's how Andre wound up with his pinky finger fractured," she gave Cat an innocent smile.

Cat sighed, moments before another contraction hit. When it was over, she nodded quickly. "Okay! Okay! Bring the drug man in here right now!" she demanded. Jade burst out laughing as she slid up and went to find the nurse, who came back with Jade and checked Cat over before paging the anesthesiologist. Within a half an hour, a cheerful young woman with red hair and a soft brogue had come in and examined Cat before placing her epidural. Cat's eyes had practically rolled back into her head with relief when the medicine took effect and the pain diminished. She sank back against her pillows, her eyelids already heavy. "Sleep, Kitty. When you wake up, it'll probably be time for a baby," Jade said, petting Cat's head easily. Cat nodded her head, closing her eyes before quickly succumbing to sleep. Tori sat down beside the bed, pulling her Nook out of her bag and firing up the book she'd been reading while Jade sat beside her, pulling her phone out to text Beck and check on Robbie.

Beck looked down as his phone buzzed, pulling it out of his pocket to read his wife's text message. His eyes had bugged out of his head when the nurse had come out of Cat's room and asked for Jade and Tori to sit with Cat while Robbie was treated for his head laceration. Only Robbie. He and Andre had volunteered to go sit with Robbie while he was examined and stitched up. He'd texted Holly, who was watching the two Oliver children and the one Harris child, and was assured that all three were doing well. Beck grinned at his wife's text and replied that Robbie was almost good to go and then added on to the message, telling her that their hellions were doing well. He looked up when the ER doctor came out of Robbie's room and handed Beck a sheet of instructions. "He's going right back upstairs," Beck explained to the doctor. "His wife's in labor. Hence the whole head injury." The doctor laughed, nodding in understanding.

Moments later, Robbie came out of the room supported by Andre. He was still a little lightheaded from the whole smacking his head thing. Beck shook his head, hiding a chuckle before following the duo back upstairs to labor and delivery. Robbie walked slowly into the room and frowned, surprised to see his wife actually sleeping. The last time he'd been with her, she'd been in too much pain to even think about resting. Jade looked up, smiling easily at him. "She got her epidural about a half an hour ago. She's been sleeping ever since," she explained. Robbie's mouth formed a silent O as he nodded and moved over to the other side of the bed from where Jade and Tori were sitting. He took Cat's hand easily as he sat down on the side of the bed. Cat's eyes fluttered easily and she gave her husband a bright but sleepy smile. "Hi. How's your head?" she asked.

Robbie chuckled. "It's okay. I've got a headache but it's fine. And I'll have a cool scar. Chicks dig scars," he teased which made Cat giggle one of her usually airy sounding giggles. Tori and Jade both shared looks with each other, sharing a smile, glad that Cat wasn't writhing and screaming in pain any more. Beck moved over, kissing the top of Jade's head as he slid his hand down, rubbing it over her swollen abdomen. "You want anything?" he asked her softly, crouching down beside her chair. Jade smirked. "Yes. I want coffee, but hospital coffee sucks," she pouted as she leaned up for a kiss. Beck grinned, pushing another kiss against her lips. "Hospital coffee is better than no coffee," he told her honestly.

Tori and Jade shared a look, grinning at each other before they slid up and headed for the cafeteria after taking orders from everyone as to what they wanted. They made sure that Robbie ate something on substance, just in case. They didn't need his blood sugar levels plummeting and him passing out again. It was several more hours before Cat shifted on the bed, letting out a whimper. Jade and Tori were snuggled up asleep on the pullout couch together as it was two o'clock in the morning. Andre was asleep in the chair by the window and Robbie was asleep in the chair beside Cat's bed. The only one not sleeping was Beck and when he heard Cat's whimper, he stood up from his spot on the windowsill and hurried over to her side.

"Cat? What's up, sis?" Beck took her outstretched hand as he brushed her hair back. Cat shifted, wincing. "Ow, Beck, can you get the nurse? The medicine's wearing off and I feel all this weird pressure," she said, gripping his hand as a contraction hit. Beck hit the call button on the side of the bed before rubbing her back easily, letting her hold his hand as tightly as she needed to. "It's okay, sis, it's okay. It won't be long now," he said before whistling softly, which woke Andre up. Andre slid up, leaning over to wake his wife and Jade. "Guys, I think it's time," he whispered.

Jade slid up, making sure to keep her movements easy going so that she didn't freak Cat out or anything. She smiled softly at her husband, who was still rubbing Cat's back. The nurse came in, adjusting the blanket but keeping Cat covered as she pulled on a glove and checked her. "You're fully dilated and at about a plus one, which is really good. You shouldn't have to push for too long," the nurse told her with a smile. "I'm going to page your doctor and get set up, but if you feel like you really need to push, tell me, okay?" Cat nodded, clutching Beck's hand as another pain hit. The epidural wasn't totally worn off so while she felt the contractions, the pain was only about half of what it had been previously. Tori started to lean over to kiss Cat's cheek and wish her luck when Cat started to panic. "No! No, you stay. All of you stay. Please. Don't leave me," she had always been the baby of the group, not in age but in mentality, and she'd always relied on all five of them to get her through things.

Jade and Beck shared a look before they looked at Tori and Andre, all of them nodding. Tori finally remembered to wake Robbie up, all though they'd all been letting him sleep because the longer he wasn't panicking the better. Robbie all but jumped out of the chair, looking around like he was expecting the baby to just come sliding on out of his wife. Beck rolled his eyes a bit, sharing a looking with Andre. "Cat, 'Dre and I are going to talk to Rob for a second," he said as he transferred Cat's hand to Jade's, giving his wife a long look. Jade nodded, smirking easily before gripping Cat's hand easily.

Andre grabbed Robbie's shoulder, moving him over towards the windows. "Listen to me. They're going to turn her epidural off so that she can push properly. It means she's probably going to scream. You have to hold it together, man, okay? She's not going to be able to do this if she's worrying about you passing out," he said, firmly but not unkindly. Robbie nodded, looking at Beck and then back at Andre. "Did you … did you look? Like, when your kids were being born?" he asked. Andre quickly shook his head in the negative while Beck nodded his head in the affirmative.

"Both times. And yeah, on a basic level it is gross and it looks just as painful as it is. You don't have to look, Rob. No one's going to think less of you if you're not watching the business end of things when the baby crowns and stuff. I wanted to look. I wanted to watch my kids come out into the world. But not every guy does and that's okay. But trust me. When they lay that baby in her arms, you're not going to want to miss the look on her face. It'll be like nothing you've ever seen," Beck told him, patting his arm easily. "And listen, we're here. Me and Andre and Jade and Tori. Everything's going to be okay. I promise."

Andre squeezed Robbie's shoulder. "Beck's right. The look on her face … I still remember the look on Tori's when they finally laid Maddox on her chest. It was like equal parts surprise and utter love. That's something you don't want to miss. I didn't watch Maddox come out and honestly, I don't feel like I missed anything. They asked if I wanted to look and I said no way in hell and the doctor laughed and told me that a lot of dads didn't. So don't feel like you're doing something wrong if you don't look. If the time comes and you want to look, go ahead and look. But don't do it cause you feel like you have to. Beck's just weird," he teased, elbowing Beck in the side. Beck laughed, rolling his eyes a bit before Cat's doctor came into the room and they started to set everything up.

Robbie moved over to Cat's side, standing at the head of the bed, reaching for her hand. He figured this way, he wasn't going to end up seeing things he didn't want to see. The nurse got Cat adjusted in the bed, propping her head up and getting her feet into the stirrups. Jade and Beck stood on Cat's other side, opposite from Robbie, Jade holding Cat's leg for her while Beck held onto her hand, ready to help her sit up when the time came for her to start pushing. Tori stood beside Robbie and helped to hold her other leg, while Andre stood behind the head of the bed, scratching Cat's head lightly.

Cat's hand shook easily as she looked up at Jade first and then at Tori, unasked questions in her eyes. Tori and Jade quickly shared looks before looking back at Cat. "The worst part is when the baby crowns," Jade told her. "It burns like hell, but as soon as the head is out, that burning pain stops," she assured her. Tori nodded in agreement. "After the baby is born, there's a gush of amniotic fluid and blood that's going to feel really weird, but it's usually only one big gush and then it won't feel so weird anymore," she told her, rubbing her leg easily. "But the baby's already almost crowning, cause you had the epidural and your body did most of the work while you were sleeping. It won't be long before you're holding your little boy or girl," she promised her.

Cat nodded easily, looking up at Robbie. Robbie smiled and leaned down to kiss her, squeezing her hand easily. "You're going to do great. I know it," he promised her. Cat nodded and when the next contraction hit, her little fingers squeezed Beck and Robbie's hands. "C'mon, Rob, ease her up," Beck told him as he helped Cat to sit up, giving her better leverage to push down as Tori and Jade pushed her knees back towards her shoulders. Robbie copied Beck's movements, helping Cat to stay up until the contraction was over. "Don't put me back down," Cat said when they started to lower her back down against the pillows. "My back doesn't hurt like this," she explained and Beck nodded, keeping her sitting up as she waited for the next contraction to hit.

True to Tori's words, it didn't take long before Cat let out the loudest shriek Robbie had ever heard come from his wife's mouth and his face immediately went pale. Andre reached out, gripping his shoulder tightly, keeping him on his feet. "Kitty, breathe. The baby's crowning, okay? It's going to burn and then with the next push, you're going to get the head out and it won't burn anymore," Jade told her in a soft, soothing tone, unlike anything anyone had heard from her unless she was talking to one of her kids. Cat whimpered, pressing her face into Beck's shoulder. She could see how pale and sweaty her husband was and she was suddenly very worried that he was going to fall over and pass out again. Beck rubbed her back, squeezing her hand, giving Robbie a look that clearly told him he needed to do something.

"C'mon, Cat. Just one more push and then it's almost over," Robbie finally found his voice, leaning over to kiss his wife's sweaty cheek while Andre wiped her face down with a cold cloth. "Don't you want to see our baby? I know I do. I can't wait to see if it's a little boy or a little girl," he kept talking to her, kissing her knuckles. Tori looked down before looking back up at Cat with a grin. "I'm pretty sure the baby has curly hair," she told Cat with a soft giggle. Cat lifted her head, her eyes wide. "Really?" she asked, sounding a little excited. Jade laughed, nodding her head. "It definitely looks curly, Kitty. Hurry up and push so we can all see for sure!" she told her. Cat took a deep breath to steel herself, nodding quickly.

It only took three more pushes before a loud wail filled the birthing room and the doctor lifted a bloody, curly haired bundle up onto Cat's chest. Robbie kept his eyes on Cat's face, not even looking at their child yet. In that moment, he knew that everything Beck and Andre had said was true. He would never, in all his years, forget the look on his wife's face as she saw their child for the first time. Her entire face lit up as she touched her baby, sniffling softly as tears started to roll down her cheeks. "Hi! Hi, baby! I'm so glad you came out to join us. I'm your mommy and your daddy is over there and that's your Uncle Andre and your Uncle Beck and your Auntie Jade and your Auntie Tori and we're all so very, very glad that you could join us!" she kissed the baby's head, hugging the tiny little body closer.

Robbie leaned in to kiss his wife before kissing his child's cheek. He looked up, catching the look that Beck and Andre shared and the three friends shared their own look as the baby wailed on. Tori and Jade had to wipe their tears, easing Cat's legs back down into the stirrups as they leaned in for a closer look. "Wait … do we have a son or a daughter?" Robbie finally thought to ask and Tori and Jade both helped Cat to adjust the baby, revealing boy parts. "Oh! It's a boy! We have a son, Robbie!" Cat squealed with delight, turning her face up for another kiss. She giggled as Robbie kissed her and then she looked back down at her baby. "You're a boy!" she cooed to him, like he knew the difference between being a boy or a girl. Jade and Tori both laughed before Beck spoke up. "Does he have a name?" he asked. Robbie looked down at Cat. "You can choose," he told her. Cat's brow furrowed as she looked at her baby, holding him closer and taking in all his features. She finally looked up, grinning brightly.

"Jaden Beckett Andre Victor Shapiro," she said firmly, nodding her head. Everyone started to laugh, Jade shaking her head easily. "That is a big name for a little dude," she told her, touched that Cat would name her baby after all of them. Cat beamed up at her. "You and Tori did the same thing," she told her. "Katie's named after me and Tori, Andrew's named after Andre and Tori's dad, and Maddox is named after Robbie. Besides … I couldn't have done this without all of you. Robbie couldn't have either. So it's right. It's right that he's named after all his aunties and uncles," she said with a tired grin.

Beck shrugged easily, looking over at Andre as the two fist bumped. "That's what friends are for, sis. That's what we do. We support each other during the good times and the bad times, during the easy times and the hard times. It's what we've been doing since high school and it's what we'll do til the end of time," he said, kissing the top of her head, reaching out to let little Jaden grip his hand. Cat giggled, looking up at the faces of all her friends. "Not just friends. Family. Because that's what you guys are. You're my family," she said before Jaden let out a big yawn and she giggled as he closed his eyes, hugging his body closer before closing her own eyes. She had the best family ever.
