Getting Discovered

Easton smiled at his wife as he started to eat the very good soup. "This is so good." He said with a grin.

He then looked at Miranda and Brandy, simply nodding that everything was okay. "George will talk to her about it. She'll be going to the hospital soon."

--

Hailey looked at George and nodded. She took a deep breath in then out. She sat up in bed as she laid there. She was feeling much pain now.

She looked at the clock and sighed. She then laid back as she felt her husband rub her very swollen stomach.

"George I'm not ready." She breathed.

**.George rubs her belly. He nods to her and smiles.**

George: Its ok babe, don't worry. You want something to eat? I can have a maid bring up some soup if you want.

**.He smiles as he watches his wife. He hated seeing her in that much pain, but he smiled at how strong she was being. He leans in and kisses her on the forehead. She is sweating.**

---

Brandy: So what do ya'll think of the names? I really like them. Ashlyn Jade Corbin and Aaron Jacob Corbin.

Carrie: I love those names Brandy espeically Ashlyn Jade. I like how you kept the AJC thing going.

Brandy: Thanks, Carrie. I figured since they are twins to try to do somthing like that.

Carrie: So what is Joshua's midde name?

Brandy: Easton. Joshua Easton.

Carrie: Oh cool. Easton named him.

**.They both look over at Easton, whom is beaming.**

Hailey shook her head. "No George, I'm not hungry right now." She snapped a little. She bite her lip and looked at him. "I'm sorry honey, I didn't mean to snap." She kissed his lips.

Just then, she felt a deeper pain, causing her to gasp a little. She kept a hold on her husband's hand, quickly squeezing it as she laid there in bed.

She bit her bottom lip once as she sat up in bed, breathing. She buried her face into her husband's chest, keeping calm. Her water hadn't broke yet, but she was starting to have contractions, which was in fact a sign that the baby was coming.

Her thing was that she didn't want to leave, until she was absolutely positive that she was going into labor.

"I'm okay...I'm okay." She breathed as the contraction passed.

She looked up at her husband. "George, honey, could you go get me some jello?' She asked softly. "There's cherry and fruit punch jello in the fridge in containers. I don't care which one." She rubbed her own stomach as he started to get off the bed.

--

Easton looked at Miranda and smiled. He was so proud about picking Joshua's middle name, and that was that.

"and I'm proud that he had that name for a middle name." He grinned.

He pulled Brandy, by the waist, gently to him and smiled. "I love you, baby." He said before kissing her deeply.

He then pulled back after a couple of moments and just looked at her. "I got to know, how are you feeling?" He asked. Even though Brandy was nowhere near going into labor, Easton just thought he would ask. Especially since they had one pregnant mama going into labor in the household.

**.George winced in pain as she squeezed his hand tightly. He hugs her as she sits up.**

George: Don't worry babe, its going to be ok. Just breathe.

**.He gets up as she asked for the jello. He quickly rushes down stairs to the kitchen, he quickly finds the jello and grabs one. Then grabs a spoon. He rushes back up quickly not being noticed by anyone.

He enters back into the bedroom. He hands her the container and the spoon. He had not even noticed which flavor he grabbed.**

George: I don't know which one that is, but I hope it makes you feel better babe.

**.He sits back on the edge of the bed as he watches her eat the jello.**

---

Brandy: This is going to sound weird, but I am jealous. I wish I was in labor. I am so ready to meet our twins. The next couple months are going to drag by.

Miranda: Really, that pain has got to be awful.

Brandy: Well yea, but its all worth when you get to hold the babies in your arms. They look at you and you look at them. It's great. Isn't it Easton?

**Brandy smiles as Easton looks up from his soup bowl.**

Hailey laid there breathing as she waited for her husband to return with her jello. She occasionally rubbed her belly as she sat up.

When he returned with jello, she took the container and the spoon. "Thank you Honey." She said softly with a smile. She kissed him once before opening the small container. She took one bite and smiled. It was fruit punch.

"My favorite." She smirked as she continued eating her jello. She ate a little more, then closed the container. She was fully. "thank you honey." She said as she moved a little, moving a little closer to him. She kissed him, and buried her face back into his chest as she felt another contraction hit her.

This contraction was a bit more painful this time. She grabbed the closest thing to her, which was her husband's shirt and squeezed it. "George..." She cried out a little in pain.

--

Easton had went back to eating his soup. He looked up at Brandy when she said his name and nodded. "Yes ma'am." He smirked a little, wiping his mouth with his napkin.

As everyone sat there, Chris heard someone, that being Hailey, cry out in pain and saying George's name. He looked at everyone and just grinned. "Mama Strait is definitely having that Prince tonight." He commented.

Easton nodded in agreement with Chris. 'Oh, there's no doubt about that." He said as he put a hand on Brandy's back, gently rubbing it.

"Oh, I hope George is okay up there." Tim said, then got a couple of glares from the women.

Chris and Easton chuckled. "Tim, man, I think you said the wrong thing." They laughed.

**.George smiled as she took the jello and ate some. But held her and she began to have contractions. He also knew it was time to start timing them. He looked at his watch as this contraction continued for a minute or so.**

George: I think it is about time babe.

**.He looked at her face. He could see the pain in her eyes, but she still did not want to go to the hospital. He simply nods agreeing to her wishes.**

George: Don't worry I will not make you. You tell me when you want to go. Like I said we have everything ready when you are.

---

Miranda: Tim of course he is ok. He isn't the one in labor up there. I just wish she would say the word and go to the hospital.

Brandy: I know me too. But I think she is about ready to break down and go. Sounds like the conctractions are getting stronger.

Faith: Defiantly. I say its just a matter of time now.

Brandy: Oh yea.

**.Brandy looks at Easton as he rubs her back.**

Brandy: Babe a little lower and to the right. *he finds it* oh thats good right there. For some reason that spot has been aching all day.

**.A few moments later Jon and Frankie come in. They sneaked out and did a little last minute drinking on the back porch while the others were in the family room watching the game.**

Frankie: Hey guys long time no see!

Hailey sat there, breathing through the contraction that came and then finally left. She hated the fact that it was getting closer and closer. She couldn't believe this was happening.

"I know...I know..." she said to herself as she rubbed the side of her stomach. She breathed in and out, feeling George's hand move to her stomach, rubbing the bottom and side of it.

She dropped her hand, put didn't let go of her husband's hand. She knew that she needed to check and much sure she had everything set for her bag. She looked at him. "I'm okay." She carefully got up, a hand on the bottom of her stomach.

She checked to make sure she had everything. As she stood in the closet grabbing a bag, she felt sudden pressure then something wet. She looked down, seeing a small puddle.

"George!' She gasped and kind of yelled as she felt another contraction come. She grabbed onto the side of the shelf in the closet, keeping herself calm.

--

Easton smiled at Brandy as he listened to her on where she wanted him to rub her back.

He kissed her cheek, and just laughed at Miranda and Tim when Miranda made her comment.

He had closed his eyes for a moment when heard Frankie's voice.

"Hey man." He said, nodding to him. "You know you picked a hell of a time to come."

Chris chuckled. "You sure did,"

**.George got up and saw the puddle. He knows she'll say no, but he knows it is time.**

George: Hailey, I think we better go... he is coming, your water just broke. Come on babe.

**.He flings open the bedroom door and hollers for help, Chris and Tim quickly rush upstairs.**

George: Grab her bag, its time guys.

**Chris quickly grabs the bag as George and Hailey head back down stairs with Tim's help. George is dialing his cell with one hand, so he can let the hospital know they are on the way.**

---

*Easton and Brandy look at each other.**

Brandy: We were right.

Frankie: I take it that the Queen is having the baby?

Brandy: You hit the nail on the head there Frank.

**.He looks at her, she was the only one whom ever called him Frank. He nods, knowing what they had was a one night fling, sometimes he wishes he had pursued her more.**

Frankie: Haha I haven't been called that in a while. So when are yours and Easton's little ones gonna be here?

Brandy: Oh we will have a couple months. But I am ready. So what brings ya back here?

Frankie: Eh Jon wanted to go hunting, and needed a hunting buddy.

Easton nodded. "I see..." He said to Frankie and Jon. "Well you're more than welcome to go hunting. Just make sure you guys are at the hospital when the Queen finally has this little Prince."

Hailey was about to argue with George, but knew that he was right. She held onto her husband as she saw Chris and Tim rush in, helping.

She held one hand of Tim's and one and of George's as they started to walk downstairs. She breathed in and out keeping calm.

When they got downstairs, Carrie and Miranda were beaming. "This is so exciting!" Carrie said softly.

Hailey smirked. "Oh yeah...totally." She laughed lightly to herself. She then groaned a little as a stronger contraction hit. this time she ended up squeezing Tim's hand, and let go of her husband's hand.

Faith held back a laugh as she saw her own husband's eyes widen. His facial expressions were priceless.

Easton looked at Hailey when she made it downstairs, then looked at Brandy. "Is she going to be able to make it to the hospital?' He asked softly.

**.Brandy nodded.**

Brandy: I don't know. Those contractions seem awful close and extremely strong. She could give birth before they get there.

**.Easton looks at Brandy.**

Miranda: Really? You think it could happen?

Brandy: Of course it could. Not saying it will, but I think she had been in labor for longer than she wants to admit. So at this point anything is possible.

**.Seconds later Tim runs in the house, stating the baby was crowning and that George had dispatched an ambulance.**

Faith: Damn Brandy you're good. Are you psychic?

Brandy: Haha, nope.

Faith: How did you know though?

Brandy: Merely a hutch.

Frankie: Shoot Brandy, your should like have one of those shows...

**.Everyone looks at him as Jon walks back to the room with some gear.**

Brandy: Just go hunting... Be careful you two.

Hailey had just got into George's truck when she felt a much stronger pain. "George." She breathed in pain. She grabbed onto him. "He's coming.' She groaned as she laid back in the seat, breathing in and out deeply.

Before now, Hailey was secretly scared about having the baby. But now was a different story. Here she was in labor, and she was pretty calm about it, minus the pain.

She knew that George had called an ambulance, but she knew that they weren't going to make it in time. She laid in the backseat, breathing through the pains. "Honey, I can't wait on the ambulance." She groaned, holding her belly. She had a couple of tears running down her cheeks as she laid there.

Easton looked at Tim when he walked in and just dropped his jaw. "Wow." He looked at everyone else. "WE should have a back up plan, just in case they ambulance doesn't make it." He said.

Carrie nodded. "I agree with Easton." She said.

Easton looked at Brandy. "Honey, you and Faith have had kids before so you guys can really help. Everyone else, just listen to George. He'll probably take full charge on all of this, considering that this is his wife and all."

**.Brandy looked at Faith.**

Brandy: Come on let's go see what we can do.

**.Faith nods as she looks up at the sky.**

Faith: Guys looks like a bad storm is rolling in. But let's go.

**.Brsndy and faith walk over toward the truck. As they reach it, rain pours down.**

George: Oh shit! This is not good. Come on we got to get you back in the house.

**.George looks at Brandy and Faith. Tim and Chris also work their way in.**

George: Guys we got to get her back in the house as fast as we can. Brandy you and Faith hurry inside and prepare a room, I have a feeling we're going to be delivering my son here.

Brandy: 10-4 come Faith. We can do this.

**.George hops in the truck as Chris pull it as close to the forth door as possible. George helps HAiley out as the rain comes down harder. He and Tim rush her to the bedroom on the ground floor Brandy and Faith quickly prepare.**

George: How ya doin babe?

Hailey just held the bottom of her stomach as she made it into the room with Tim and George. She had no problem walking into the bedroom, just felt a good portion of pain.

When George asked how she doing, Hailey wanted to headslap him, but didn't. She knew he was just being considered and wanted to know how she was doing. "I'm doing." she said softly as she breathed.

She reached for her bag. "George I have to change out of this clothing. I can't deliver in jeans." She didn't care who was there, she was changing right then and there. She stripped off her shirt before slipping on a nightgown. She then slipped off her jeans and panties. She then fixed her side braid a little as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"Oh dammit." She groaned in pain. She squeezed whose ever hand was right there, not caring if she broke it, bruised it, or anything of that sort.

**.George over looked her snappyness, for he was used to it. He of course had kids and he had this happen before. He slyly smiled out of the corner of his mouth. He helped his wife lay down on the bed.**

George: Babe there is an ambulance on the way, but unfortantly for this storm it is going to be a while before they can get here. So looks like we are doing this here, rather any of us like it or not. So if you can get comfortable.

**.He giggles a bit as she gives him an evil look as if she was saying, "get comfortable??? Are you serious?" But of course she does try her best. He postions himself between her legs as he sees the baby's head.**

George: Oh my, he has a full head of hair. Ok Hailey, I am going to count to three and I want to you to push ok?

**.He looks up as she nods. Brandy and Faith come in with some clean towels and a couple small throw type blankets.**

Brandy: Sorry we took so long, we like to have never found these blankets. And they was the only ones we could find that we could wrap the baby in.

George: Thanks a bunch. Go see if you can get me some hot water.

Faith: Way ahead of you, the maid is on her way with it.

George: Great. Ok Hailey 1..2...3... push.

Hailey looked at her husband, breathing. She really continue believe that this was happening, she was delivering their child at the house.

"George." She groaned in pain as she felt another contraction. "Oh..." She groaned a little more as she started trying to push.

This was going to be a long night, everyone could kind of get that idea. Hailey was having difficulties pushing.

She stopped pushing when she heard her husband tell her to relax. She laid there breathing in and out. "Chris, come here." She called out to Chris. She could see the confusion on her husband's face when she called out for Chris.

Easton looked at Chris. "I think Mama Strait is summoning for you." He grinned. He then looked over at Brandy. "We're going to be here a while. This baby isn't going to be easy to deliver, at least I don't think."

Brandy: Looks that way. I just hope that ambulance gets here soon.. someone is defiantly going to be needing it.

**.Brandy looked at Chris. He shrugged then shook his head.**

Chris: What the...

**.Chris looks up and sees George looking at him.**

Chris: I don't think she meant me... Hailey? Why me?

George: Chris whats going on?

Chris: I have no clue...

**.Brandy and Easton look at each other. She shrugs.**

Brandy: (whispering) I am confused.

**.Brandy looks at some of the other. They have the same look on their faces. Then looks to George who is lost.**

Hailey looked at her husband. "Don't worry." She breathed then looked at Chris. "Chris, can you call my parents and let them know what's happening?" That was one thing about Chris and Hailey. They had been friends for so long, which was kind of how Hailey got the connection with George.

Once he walked in the other room, Hailey looked at George, motioning for him to come closer to her. She grabbed him by the hand and pulled him closer.

"Honey, you have nothing to ever worry about with me. I love you and only you." She brought her face closer to his and kissed him. She then pulled back, seeing him smile. She started rubbing her stomach a little.

"This is going to be a long night." She admitted.

Easton and Brandy didn't hear this part of the conversation, so Easton thought that there was going to be some issues between the King and his Queen.

"You think Chris and Hailey have a secret?" He asked. "Because it would make some sense."

**.Brandy looked at Easton, he was obviously as clueless as the others. Seems Hailey nor Chris had told the others. Brandy leans in and whispers to Easton.**

Brandy: Wow, I would have figured that everyone knew. But Chris and Hailey are cousin's his dad, and her mom are siblings. Her mom moved from Tennessee before she was even thought of.

**.Easton nods, but the others where still clueless. Chris walks over. He knew he needed to let the cat out of the bag.**

Chris: Hey cuz, whats up? I don't know how I can help, but hey, I am here.

**.Everyone looked at Chris and Hailey. They was shocked, because not even the King knew this secret. But you could see the relief on his face, when he heard this news. Even with her telling him he had nothing to worry about.**

George: Well, lets deliver this baby shall we? I think we got everything we need. Hey Tim any word from the ambulance crew?

**.Tim nods. But its seemingly evident that they are still a ways off due to stormy weather.**

Brandy: Well thats sucks. But we can do this. But I do hope that they get here soon. Because I think mama and son will need some medical care. (She leans into Easton and whispers.) I knew he would be the one too tell everyone.

**.Brandy kisses Easton on the cheek. Then mouths the words I love you, as Hailey begins to try pushing again.**

Brandy: Its going to be a long night. Anyone need anything, I need something to drink.

George: Bring Hailey some ice. Maybe it will help.

Brandy: Oki doki. anyone else?

The others: Maybe some sodas.

Brandy: Ok will do come on Easton. I am going to need help ya know.

**.She winks as she slaps him gently on the butt.**

Hailey laid there, trying to relax as much as possible. She watched her husband as he took charge, telling everyone what to do and such as they got ready to possibly bring this baby into the world.

As she laid there, Hailey just breathed in and out. She never thought that when it came time for her to have a baby that she would be in the house, doing a home birth. But at the moment, she was glad. She didn't have to deal with the public, her husband was there, and the people she cared and loved for the most, well everyone except her parents and siblings were there.

"Ice would be nice." She quietly spoke, looking at Brandy. She smiled a little to her.

Easton jumped a little when Brandy slapped him on the butt. He then turned around to her and just grinned. "I'll be more than happy to help." He winked, following her into the kitchen.

"Chris, please call my family." She said with a smile. Once everyone was out of the room, Hailey watched as her husband stood there, kind of zoned out. "Hey handsome." She whispered as she pulled him to her by his belt loops of his jeans.

She couldn't help but smile as he turned around and looked at her, smiling. "Can you believe this." She said as she ran her fingers through his head. "This little, Henry Ryder, will be here some time this evening" She whispered as she watched her husband put his hand on her bare stomach.

Easton walked with Brandy into the kitchen, helping her with the drinks. "Hailey is staying rather calm for this being her first baby." He said, remembering how Brandy was when it came to having Joshua.

**.Brandy looks at Easton.**

Brandy: You know when I had Joshua things could have been more calm, if my brother wasn't being a total ass. I still can't understand why he wanted to fight you. I hate to ask but what was it over?

**.She focuses on getting HAiley some crushed ice from the fridge. As she does she watches Easton from the corner of her eye wondering if he is going tell her, why Randy, her brother seemingly had a bone to pick with him.

They have all the drinks on a tray along with the ice. They turn and head back to the make shift delivery room.**

Brandy: Alright guys drinks are served.

**.Chris walks back in as well. He grabs a soda and walks over to HAiley.**

Chris: Your mom and dad are on the way. They are getting on the first plane here. Thanks Brandy and easton.

**.Brandy nods as she walks over and hands the cup of ice to George.**

George: Thank you Brandy. Here you go babe. Try this.
