{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie smiled as John came into her bedroom. They had gotten back together and he practically lived her since his mom died of her cancer in July. She was a week short of being full term with the twins, and the nursery was almost ready for the twins. They just needed the toys and mobiles to come in the mail and it would be done. Her room was set, painted blue and the floors were light colored wood. She had a double bed for comforting the kids, not to mention it gave room for boys. It had a pretty blue bedspread, and she had matching dresser and desk and bookcase and she loved it. Not to mention her new TV with a DVD and VCR and laptop that she got as presents for her adoption by Fin.
John climbed onto the bed and started massaging her back as his gaze went back to the movie playing. The Little Mermaid was playing because Abby was plunked in front of the TV.

{name:Fin#|#picture:2}Fin drove down the street he now called home. Another dead child had made him long for his own 'live family'. He grinned as he pulled into the driveway and parked behind John's car.
He and John had made peace awhile back. He was a good kid and needed someone like Katie and himself in his life.
He got out of his car just as Kathy Stabler, Eli in tow, stepped out to grab her mail.
"Hey Kathy," Fin shouted across the driveway."El is behind me about 30 minutes. Paperwork"
Fin let himself in and headed for the sound of the Little Mermaid playing.
"Hey kids, what's up?"

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie heard him and yelled, "WE'RE IN MY ROOM, DAD!" She cried out as a pain hit her. Another indigestion pain hit her, or so she thought. She was actually going into labor and had been all day. John leaned over her, smoothing her hair out of her face and asked, "You okay?" She nodded. "Just another of those indigestion pains." She said. He frowned. "Those pains have been lasting since breakfast. Could they be contractions?" She frowned. "I don't know. They feel like period cramps." "That might be contractions, babe." He leaned in and kissed her lips gently. "I'll ask Dad when he gets here. I think he was there when his ex wife gave birth to his son."
Abby twisted around and said, "Baby talk?" John said, "Yup, Princess Abby, we're talking about the new babies." She scowled and got to her feet and stormed out the room muttering, "Stupid baby." She stormed down the hall and saw Fin. "Make baby go bye bye Finny!"

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin picked up the pouting Abby and assured her while he couldn't get the babies to go away, he would teach her to like them.
Popping into Katie's room, Abby in tow, Fin saw a look of pain pass across Katie's face.
"What's up little girl? John how long has this been going on?"

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean finally tossed her report in the tray, and glanced over at Elliot, who looked about ready to head out.
"Hey, El, think you could gimme a lift over to Fin's? Wanna check on Katie, and give her her pressie." She said, referring to a cute ornament she had found early on in the shift. And yes, she had spoiled Katie rotten the entire 9 months, Abby too, but she couldn't help it, she was in a giving mood. And Katie and Abby were her causes.
She saw Elliot nod, with a grin, and she hgathered up her things, with a grin. Her car had decided to die on her, again, and she was now back to relying on lifts to and from everywhere. Getting to Fins was no problem, what with Elliot living right next door. But back from there, and to and from work was the difficulty. But she shrugged it off.
Together, the two made their way over to Queens, and were there reasonable quickly, despite traffic.
"Thanks El, see ya tomorrow!" She called, as she headed up to Fin's.
"Knock knock!" She called, knocking on the door with a smile.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}John said with a worried look, "All morning, Fin."
Meanwhile, Katie heard Jean come in and yelled for her to come up, that everyone was in her bedroom.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin looked at Katie's pained face and told himself he was a trained police officer who didn't panic. Sadly that thought died quickly.
"John, call the doctor. Jean get back here quick." Fin barked. "I think Katie's in labor. I'm gonna load her in the car and head for the hospital. Call Elliot and Kathy and have them come get Abby. That was our original plan. Katie where is the bag you packed last week. We need to get going now."

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean, hearing both Katie and Fin call, raced back towards Katies room, and hovered in the doorway.
"Tell me what i can do." She said, as she stepped out of the way, and dialled Elliots number quickly, and heard a sleepy reply.
"Elliot, no time for sleeping, we need ya to take Abby.......Wake up you lazy idiot, Katie's in labor.....Thank you Kathy......See ya in a sec." She hung up, and grinned.
"Elliot was no help, but Kathy will be here in a sec. Now, what can I do?" She asked, making her way over to Katie, Fin and John.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}"Could you get my bag? It's the blue suitcase on the top shelf of my closet."
Abby's scowl got deeper.

{name:Fin#|#picture:2}Abby scowl got deeper as everyone hustled and bustled around her. Fin reached down and scooped her up.
"Baby girl, Mommy needs to go to see the doctor. It's important she get there quick. Aunt Kathy is coming to take you to sleep and then play with Eli." Fin spoke with much more calm than he felt.
Kathy knocked and let herself in the front door and followed the commotion.
"Thank God you're here." Fin said quickly. He handed a protesting Abby of to Kathy Stabler and she quickly hustled Abby out the door and across the driveway to her house.
"Got the bag, Jean." Fin shouted across the room. "John go warm up my car. I'll carry her to the car. Come on Texican. Let's get a move on."
They were in the car and on the way to Mercy Hospital in record time.
**MERCY HOSPITAL ER 10 MINUTES LATER**
Fin rushed into the ER asking for a nurse and a wheelchair. Within minutes Katie was inside and the triage nurse was doing her intake work.
"Tell me what has been going on today Ms. Tutuola?" The triage nurse questioned.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}"I've been having pains, and I thought it was indigestion, but it didn't stop. They started at breakfast. It's twins. I'm supposed to have a C-section." She explained calmly. Fin and John were all nervous. Someone had to stay calm. This was no time to panic.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}The triage nurse had Katie taken back to an ER examing room to determine if labor was in progress and called Katie's OB/GYN.
Fin, John and Jean were aksed to remain in the waiting room until the assessment was completed.
Fin and John began pacing back and forth as Jean sat there quietly.
"John," Fin said quietly. "Thanks for bein there for my little girl."

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean sat herself down on a waiting room chair, watching the nervous father and boyfriend pace back and forth, before flicking her attention towards the doctors bustling around.
In some warped way, given the time she'd spent at various hospitals, she'd developed a strange interest in their workings and tended to let her mind wander on visits now. But, not today.
One, she was nervous for Katie. Two, she knew that now Katie had gone off to be checked, she'd have to stay calm for Fin and John, who looked just about ready to yank their hair out.
"I'll go get coffees, OK? I'll just be a sec, saw a station on the way in. And sit down, she'll be fine." She instructed, voice firm, but the soft smile gave her away.
