Elle and Lisa had moved into their new house and funnily enough Jack and Paul moved in with them, not as couples, well so they say but Joshua and I weren't as stupid or as blind as they all thought. The way they would look at each other was in no way friendly. The affection of both couples were clear as day not that I'd say anything, yet ha ha .

On my way to the hospital, I had called Joshua, who I guessed had called everyone else because as I arrived at the hospital, everyone was already there and waiting. Well everyone except for the one person that needed to be there the most. I was trying not to let anyone see the panic I was feeling as I was two weeks early. Although the paramedics had told me that this was quite normal and that everything would be fine.

"Joshua has just pulled into the car park. He said to tell you to keep them legs tightly shut until he gets here." I couldn't help but laugh at what Paul said, as that was Joshua for you. He has been waiting for this day for the past month and although I loved how excited he was, I was so ready to kill him if he asked me 'how much longer' one more time. In the hospital, feeling nervous as hell, I waited eagerly for Joshua to arrive.

The funny thing is that Joshua hadn't left my side for the past four weeks. Everywhere he or I needed to go, we'd go together and the first time he agreed to leave me home alone, my waters break.

I thought that when your waters break, that would be it, but no. Here I am ten hours later still waiting for my baby to make its appearance. The doctors and nurses joked about the baby being too comfortable but me, I thought better. The baby was just being stubborn like me. I knew I was giving Joshua a hard time but by god he would be doing the same if he was in my position.

The contractions were only seconds apart now and I was already feeling exhausted. I really didn't think I could go on like this for much longer. Joshua was trying to encourage me and bless him he had the patience of a saint. I don't think I have cursed so much in my life. At one stage I had even slapped Joshua not wanting to hear his loving words. There are no words in this world that could describe the pain I was going through. I tried focusing on my baby as I tried to blank out the pain but there was nothing I could do to stop it.As one contraction ended another hit but each time the pain increased.

I kept feeling strange urges to push and as much as everyone was telling me to wait, I couldn't. It was as if my body took on a course of its own. Feeling another contraction the pain became stronger not that I thought that was possible at this stage. I tried panting as Joshua was telling me to do but I was so tired. I felt as if my body was dead, except I knew I was alive, as the pain made sure of that. My mouth was dry but that was the least of my problems. However, it did stop me from shouting so much.

"OK Isabella your baby is ready to come into the world. On your next contraction I want you to push. If I say stop, you must stop ok?" Feeling a contraction hitting me at full force I done exactly as the doctor asked and began to push down, as hard as I could. Pushing down it felt as if my insides were tearing from the inside out. Screaming out, I pushed down as hard as I physically could, through my exhausted body. I continued on that way for what felt like forever, until I felt a small sense of relief.

" you're doing great Isabella." Great my ass, I thought exhaustedly. "The hard bit is over now your baby's head is out now when you're ready, I want you to give one more big push and that will be it. You will be able to hold your baby." hearing the doctors words gave me that extra strength I needed. Taking in one big deep breath, I pushed as hard as I could. Screaming out, I bit down on my teeth and continued to push until I heard a small cry, the cry of my baby. Exhausted and emotional I began crying as the nurse laid my baby on my chest. There she was, my little princess. Although she look all red and messy she was beautiful.

Joshua kissed my face all over as well as our baby. Seeing the happy proud tears in his eyes had me kissing him back. "She's, just as gorgeous as her mummy. Oh Isabella I'm so proud of you baby. I love you so much." He leaned down and rested his head against mine as we both stared adoringly down at our princess. She was perfect. All the pain and exhaustion was forgotten as I stared down at my baby. She was beautiful, studying her little face, I was so pleased that I couldn't see a bit of Jaxon in her, not that it would've matter because I would've her love her no matter what.

The doctors and nurses had only just reached the other side of the door before everyone came barreling in. Joshua's mother was the funniest as she barged through all of them to get to her grand-baby first. Joshua had already become the overprotective daddy and I loved every minute of it.

"What are you naming her?" Lisa asked. They all knew we had picked out names but Joshua and I decided to keep it a secret between ourselves. I looked over at Joshua and nodded my head for him to tell them. His face lit up like an excited child. "Our little princess here is called; Elise Isabella Victoria Mason" Joshua looked so proud it melted my heart. Then I cut in wanting to explain how we had chosen her name.

"Elise is after Elle and Lisa and well I guess you know who Isabella is after" I said laughing. Then Joshua cut back in with tears still fresh in his eyes as he looked up at his mother, "and Victoria is ..."Joshua was cut off "I know, I know." screamed his mother." It's after me" everyone laughed as she bounced up and down excitedly.

Paul and Jack pouted at not having their names mentioned and although I wanted to let them stew for a little bit, I couldn't do it to them.

"If Elise was a boy, then he would've been called 'Leanthony' after Jack and Paul then Joshua after his daddy of course." I said smiling, knowing It would cheer them up.

"But Jack's and Pauls name wasn't mentioned" Lisa said looking as puzzled as she sounded. Laughing Jack looked over at Lisa "My second name is Lee." he said proudly followed by Jack's "and my second name Anthony." he stated just as proud. After clearing that up Paul and Jack both mumbled why couldn't Elise have been a boy. Then out of know where Joshua shut everyone up including me.

"No need to panic, we will be having plenty more baby's. We might even have enough babies, that we will be able to name them after each and every one of you. I looked up at him in utter shock and a little fear of having to go through all that pain again but as I looked down at our precious little girl, I knew right there and then that I would go through that again. Just having this little bundle of joy in my arms, I knew that I wanted many more too.

"Yes many more" I confirmed. Now look who's shocked, I thought to myself as I watched Joshua's shocked reaction. However, that shock was short lived as he kissed me with so much love I thought I was going to explode.
