"You really should stop yelling at him. You know, he'd take all this pain away if he could. He'd rather be in pain then have you going through it." Kevin explained to Breanna in between contractions. Howie had stepped out to get 'some fresh air' leaving Kevin behind. Breanna felt guilty over being so angry towards him but once the pain started, an anger ripped through her body. She wanted to scream and yell at Howie, and a few times she did. "Maybe you should let them give you some drugs? It'll take the edge off the contractions." Kevin suggested. "No, I don't want drugs. I've been through worse pain before. This is the only thing that allows me to get all this bottled up anger out of my system. I need this pain. It's a release." Breanna explained. "Well, I'm gonna go see if the others have come yet. I'll be in the waiting room. If you need me, just holler. I'm sure you will, anyway." Kevin joked as he kissed Breanna on the top of her head. "Thanks, Kev." Breanna whispered as another contraction ripped through her body. "You okay?" He asked before leaving. Breanna had her eyes closed and teeth clenched as she nodded her head. "I don't want to take this out on you." She stated. "Yell and scream at him all you want, just don't say anything you might regret." He stated before walking out of the room, leaving Breanna all alone in her pain.

Later that night everyone sat around the waiting room. Brian had Thomas asleep in his lap as he watched the SportsZone with Nick and Kevin. AJ had his Discman on listening to a rough edit of their upcoming CD, trying to figure out what could be improved. Eve, Natasha and Izabel sat around talking about the baby that was about to be born. No word had been heard from Howie or Breanna in the past few hours. "How long does this take, cause I'm gettin' tired." Nick complained. Brian gave Nick a slight glare while Kevin smacked him lightly on the head. Eve and Izabel glared at him as well. "Babe, these things can't be rushed. Just sit there and look pretty, k?" Natasha told him. "Nick, sometimes it takes *days*. Just chill out. They've been in the delivery room for a while. That baby should be here soon." Izabel replied. "Anyway...how would you like it if one of us grabbed your balls, twisted as hard as we could, and then pulled them until they ripped off? That would be way less painful compared to this." Eve said. AJ overheard the discussion and grimaced as he crossed his legs. Brian looked at Eve with a shocked look on his face. "No way! It's not *that* painful." Nick stated. "Wanna bet!?" Izabel and Eve asked. "Trust me, Nick. I never wanted to have sex every again. Hell, I never wanted to see a penis for as long as I lived during Thomas' birth." Izabel said as Natasha laughed. "That's just TMI, Izzy. TMI!" AJ replied. "Too much info? You haven't heard 'too much info' yet. *I've* heard TMI, AJ. I've heard ALL about your sexual perversions from Brian." Izabel stated. AJ looked at Brian with an angry face. "I never said anything, man!" Brian said defensively. "You don't remember much when you're drunk, babe." Izabel said with a sweet smile. "Man!" AJ shouted as he smacked Brian in the back of the head. He turned to Nick and smacked him as well. "What the fuck was that for?" Nick questioned as he rubbed the back of his head. "For telling Nat whatever you tell her when you're drunk." AJ explained.

They were all laughing at each other when Howie walked into the waiting room. Tears stained his cheeks. Kevin was the first one to notice him standing in the doorway. The smile on Howie's face said it all. "Well?" Kevin asked. The rest of the room looked up to notice Howie. "6 pounds, 12 ounces. She's beautiful and loud! She looks just like Breanna!" Howie replied ecstatically. The room erupted in shouts, hollers, and yells of congratulations. "What else? What else!?" Eve asked excitedly. "Um, her hair is light brown and straight so far. And her eyes were a blue-green color. None of us have green eyes, either! It's weird." Howie explained, on cloud nine. "It's from her side of the family. Lex had green-blue eyes." Eve reminded everyone. "I'll be out later. I'm gonna go back and see them." Howie explained before leaving the room. "I don't think I've seen him this happy in a long time." Brian said quietly, happy for his friend.

"Hey you! So you're the one who's been kicking me every time I try to hug your mommy." Howie whispered to the baby as he held her. Breanna had fallen asleep after her long day while Howie stood next to her with the baby. The baby looked up at Howie and yawned. Howie held the baby up closer so he could kiss her head. "You smell just like your mommy. Sweet and loving." He murmured as the baby tried to fight her sleep. "I love you." He whispered again as the baby fell asleep. Howie examined her facial features and realized that she had his lips. Her eyes were a similar shape to his. Her fingers were long as were her legs and arms. He assumed that she inherited her uncles stature. Alexei was tall at 6'1 and Howie figured she would be tall as well.
