"I-it's fine, Nai. The baby's fine. Every-everything is going to be fine." Max sort of stumbled out as he filed himself in the front seat after settling Naomi in first. He stormed off towards the nearest hospital in town, avoiding every car that blocked their way and speeding through all the yellow lights just to make it to the hospital in time. Luckily they did, and just as Max parked the car, he looked over to Naomi only to see a puddle of water at the bottom of his car. His eyes widened even more, he was so worried and anxious. "Come on." he simply said, helping Naomi out of the car before picking her up himself thinking it would of taken too long if she continued waddling any more. He made them up to the front desk, and before he could say anything, the nurse pointed them to the right direction, as well as giving Naomi a wheelchair till they got to the room. "It'll be alright, Nai. It'll be alright." he kept repeated, though he mostly was saying it to calm himself more than her. Even if she needed it just as badly. Before they knew it, they were in the room and had Naomi up on the bed. Sadly though, Naomi wasn't dilated enough to give birth just yet. Max seemed more anxious and impatient now, continuing to yell at the nurses to get a doctor in here. The only thing they told him though was that the doctor was in another room busy with another patient. Max paced around the room, back and forth, unable to keep still for such a short period of time. He didn't remember feeling this nervous about Arielle being born, then again, this time he really wasn't expecting to become a father times two.

Naomi didn't answer Max, instead she kept her eyes squeezed shut, her hands still on her stomach. She kept her eyes closed while Max carried her into the hospital, trying not to concentrate on the growing pains. She knew he said it would be okay, but her contractions were coming much too fast and they were hurting a lot worse than when she'd had Arielle. She laid her head back on the bed once they got her settled on it, focusing on Max's voice as he yelled for the doctor. "Max!" She gasped as yet another pain hit her. "It hurts..." They said she wasn't dilated enough, but she really just wanted them to give her medicine and make it be over as soon as possible.

Max stopped pacing as soon as he heard Naomi's cry yet again. He returned back to her side almost as quickly and swiftly as he had brought her here. "I know, Nai. The doctor'll be here real soon. It'll be alright." he tried reassuring her, though it probably wasn't helping much. He let her grip his hand for a while instead of herself or the arm rest for a change, hoping that would help a little bit. He squeezed her hand just as she began squeezing his. One of the nurses came back not even two minutes later then, checking to see if Naomi was dilated enough yet. "Another two more minutes dear, alright? I'll bring the doctor in right now." she explained, Max and her exchanging quick nods before she dashed back out again.

Naomi was grateful Max was at least calmer than she was, she felt like she was going to explode. She gripped his hand when he took hers, gritting her teeth as more pain shot through her. It felt like they were taking forever to get in here. When the nurse said two more minutes, she nearly began crying then. She couldn't wait two minutes, she wanted the baby out of her now. Naomi would've said this, but the pain as preventing her from making a sound, other than moans.

As Naomi gripped his hand tighter, Max felt his own teeth grit over each other. She really did have a tight grip when she wanted to show it. He would of stroked his thumb over her hand but her grip was too tight for him to do even that. It didn't hurt as much for him, he was just so surprised that this little girl could grip onto something so hard like this. Finally, the nurse came rushing into the room along with the doctor, checking to make sure she was dilated enough which she was. The doctor calmly and quickly explained to Naomi what she must do, and to push only when they tell her to. Max listened attentively too, and nodded before looking back to Naomi again.
((we can skip this whole giving birth scene if you want, lol.))

((yes, please. Don't know exactly how to give birth lol))
Naomi was somewhat relieved that it was finally time to give birth, considering she was currently having mixed feelings about this whole thing. She nodded when the nurse told her when to push and what she had to do, keeping her grip on Max's hand strong. Finally, after several long, painful hours, and lots of tears on Naomi's part, baby Matthew was born. Naomi fell back onto the pillows with a sigh, totally exhausted. Her hair and face were drenched with sweat and now, she just wanted to sleep.

After the baby was finally released into the world, Max couldn't have been anymore happier, let alone relieved that Naomi wasn't in all this pain anymore. The only thing he wanted to do now, was curl up next to his wife, and take a long look at their new beautiful baby boy. Matthew, as they decided to call him, looked uncannily like Max. They both shared the red hair as well as the chocolate colored eyes. The doctor's hadn't let Max nor Naomi hold their baby just yet though. Due to the unordinary size and weight of the baby, they had to lay Matthew down inside one of the incubators and run some tests to make sure he was healthy despite his unusually small size. Max let them, he knew it was right for the baby, and he wanted what was best for his newest son. He leaned back on the edge of the bed beside Naomi, cradling her in his arms, and kissed her head, ignoring the fact that she was drenched in sweat and her hair messier than usual.

Naomi scrunched up her nose when Max kissed her head, turning her face up to him. "Uggh...Max, I'm all sweaty and gross." And exhausted. That had taken a lot out of her, and she really wanted to hold her baby boy and sleep. "When do I get to see him...?" She asked sleepily, yawning soon after. "Oh!" She gasped after a moment, her eyes shooting back open. "Max! I have to call my mom!"

Max only smiled back at her, keeping her in his arms. "That's okay. I don't mind." he kissed her head again. "You're still beautiful to me." he smiled wider, letting a small chuckle escape between his lips. He nearly jumped at Naomi's sudden outburst then, though he couldn't help but laugh subtly. "Alright Nai..." he slid his hand in his pants pocket to pull out his phone, going ahead and calling Mia for her. "Here, its dialing." he said, handing her the phone before standing up to stretch a bit, as well as give Naomi some air while she told her mom the big news.

Naomi took the phone from Max, holding it up to her ear and waiting for her mom to pick up. "H-hello, mom? Yeah, it was fine. Mom? The baby came...yeah, I know it's early, it shocked both of us. I'm in the hospital...yeah. Um...I don't really know how to get here...you wanna talk to Max? Okay." Naomi held the phone out. "Max, my mom needs directions to here. Oh, and I can hear Shane yelling in the background. Good luck."

For now, Max was just sitting in the chair beside the bed, listening to Naomi's small and somehow quick conversation with her mom. She seemed so calm, but..he was curious to know what Mia sounded like on the other end. He leaned over to grab the phone from Naomi, and pressed the phone over his ear, waiting a moment of silence just so he could hear Shane's yelling going on like Naomi had said. Damn, that kid is loud. he thought. Finally, he spoke into the phone, "Hey Mia. Um, we're just at the local hospital. Just head downtown, past the fitness center, and you'll see the place on your left." he explained without waiting for any greeting back.

"Oh, really? I assumed you guys were somewhere out by the cabin, you guys sure did get here quick. Alright we'll be there---SHANE! QUIT YELLING IN MY EAR!!--we'll be there soon. See you guys in a bit." Naomi turned to Max, having heard the faint yelling from the phone. "What did she say?"

"Yeah, I looked all over for a closer hospital, but there was no other one other than Riverside's as far as I could tell." he explained again, flinching a bit when Mia raised her voice at Shane. He closed his phone up and slid it back in his pocket then, and returned back to Naomi. "She just said they'll be here soon." he told her, wrapping his arms back around Naomi again. "I think she was yelling at Shane for yelling in her ear too," he chuckled lightly, "I'm guessing he's tagging along too."

Naomi groaned softly, closing her eyes again and resting her head against the pillow. She was both happy and worried that Shane was coming. "I would actually be surprised if he didn't." Naomi let out another yawn, pressing closer to Max's body. At this rate, she would be asleep before the two got here. "Max?" She muttered sleepily. "You should...probably call your dad..."

Max nodded, agreeing with her statement. That would come as a shock if Shane ended up bailing last minute. As much as he's annoyed with the fact that Naomi got pregnant the first time, there's no way he would miss out on seeing his nephew. "Yeah, I think I will." he nodded, pulling out his phone again, dialing out his father's number and held it up to his ear next. This time, he stayed on the edge of the bed beside Naomi, one of his arms still wrapped around her. "Hey, dad? Yeah, everything's fine...n-no, nothing's wrong....actually, dad. The baby showed up....I know, its like a month earlier than expected, we're surprised about it too...Yeah, we're just at the Riverside hospital, you think you can come visit. Mia and Shane are on their way over now too....I checked already, I didn't see any other closer hospital's near the cabin...alright, see you soon. Love you too, bye." He slid his phone back in his pocket again, taking Naomi's hand in his again. He's on his way too, with his niece too, I think."
