Chapter 10
3 months later
"Natalia!" Ryan said as he entered the MDPD causing Natalia to jump.
"God, Ryan. How many times do I have to tell you not to do that?" Natalia said as she turned around.
"Sorry. But why are you working? You're nine months pregnant."
"Ryan, I've heard this from Calleigh, Stetler, Horatio, and Alexx. I don't need it from you too." Natalia said as they walked to the counter to sign in.
"Well, I'm just saying, you need to be resting. Not working."
"Ryan, I need the money." Natalia said as she pointed to her stomach.
"Well, I think your life and that baby's life is way more important than money." Ryan said as they walked to the locker room to put there stuff away.
"Ryan, I'll be fine." Natalia said as she put her stuff in her locker and shut it.
"Ok."
"Thanks though." She said as she left with a smile.
"Anytime." Ryan said as he watched her leave.
Eric walked to the DNA lab to look for Calleigh.
"Hey Call...." Eric started but stopped when he realized who it was.
"Oh, you're not Calleigh."
"I think you're correct." Natalia said as she looked up at him and smiled.
"What are you doing here? I thought you had the past few days off?"
"Well, I couldn't sit at home all day, so I had to work."
"Well, you don't look like you feel to well." Eric said as he walked over to Natalia.
"Yea, well, my stomach hurts." She said as she looked up at him taking in all his features while she could.
"Well, maybe you should go to the breakroom and take a break and rest, and I'll take over here." Eric said as he placed his hand on her back sending chills down her spine.
"Really?"
"Yea."
"Ok. Thanks." Natalia said as she got up and walked out. Eric watching her the whole time.
Few hours later Calleigh walks into the breakroom.
"Hey Nat." Calleigh said walking past her to get a water.
"Hey...Call."
"Is every...." Calleigh started but stopped as Natalia let out a fistfull of screams and grabbing her stomach.
"Natalia, what's wrong?" Calleigh said as she rushed to her best friends side.
"I, I think I'm in labor." Natalia said looking at Calleigh.
"Ok. Hold on, I'll go get Eric."
"Ok."
Calleigh ran through the hallways looking for Eric.
"Eric!" Calleigh screamed when she spotted him.
Him and Ryan were shooting paper balls into trash cans to see who could get the most in.
"Hey Cal. What's up?"
"Natalia...."
"What's wrong?" Eric said interupting her.
"She's in labor."
"Where's she at?" Eric said as he started walking away from her and Ryan.
"In the breakroom. We'll go get Alexx."
"Ok." Eric said as he took off running to the breakroom.
When Eric got there he found Natalia leaning over the back of the couch clutching her stomach and letting out a scream.
"Nat!" Eric said as he ran over to her.
"What the heck are you doing standing up?" Eric said as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"It...hurt...to...much...to...sit...down." She said as the contraction passed and she tried to slow her breathing down.
"Ok, come one let's get you to Alexx." Eric said helping her walk stopping every 5 minutes to let contractions pass.
"Eric..." Natalia said as they stopped again.
"Yea?"
"They're getting faster and more painful." She said as she gripped his arm.
"Ok...just hold on in there little guy." Eric said as he rubbed her stomach.
"Eric, he's coming, he ain't gonna stop!"
"Ok well can you make it to Alexx's room?"
"I can try." Natalia said as they started walking again.
They finally reached Alexx's room and Eric helped Natalia lay down on the sheets she had on the ground.
Alexx walked over to Eric.
"Eric, how far apart are the contraction's?"
"About 3 to 4 minutes."
"Ok."
"Can you do this Alexx?" Eric asked with a worried look on his face.
"Yea baby, don't worry, just help Nat through it all."
"Ok, cause that's the love of my life and my kid in her down there on that ground."
"Since when is she the love of your life?"
"Since the day I broke up with her..." He said as Natalia let out another scream.
"And that."
"Ok. Let me see what I can do."
"Ok."
Eric and Alexx walked back over to Natalia.
"Ok Nat, I'm gonna go wash my hands and we'll get this baby out."
"Ok."
Alexx went to the bathroom and washed her hands as Eric sat down next to Natalia and laced his fingers into hers. She looked up at.
"Nat, I made a mistake. I should've never let you go. I never wanna let you go. It sucks when I wake up every morning and you're not there. I miss you."
Natalia wanted to say something but couldn't and let out a scream.
"Ok, we'll discuss this after our child is born." Eric said as he kissed her
head.
Alexx came back and got down to Natalia's level.
"Ok, Nat, when I say push, I want you to push with everything you have."
"Ok."
"1,2,3, push."
Natalia squeezed Eric's hand as hard as she could.
"Oh, my God." Natalia screamed as she pushed again.
"Ok, Talia, I'm gonna need this hand to hold the baby." Eric said as he tapped her shoulder.
Natalia grabbed it tighter as she pushed again.
"But I guess that doesn't matter." Eric said as he could see the baby start to come out.
"Oh my God Nat, he's right there!" Eric said as he got all excited. Natalia couldn't help but smile.
"Ok Nat, one more big push."
Natalia pushed one more time and then they heard a baby's cry.
"Congrats you too, you have a gorgeous baby boy." Alexx said wrapping the baby up and handing him to Natalia.
"Can we come in now?" Calleigh and Ryan said as they peeked their heads through the doors.
"Yea." Eric said as Alexx covered up Natalia.
"Oh my God! Is that him?" Calleigh said as she walked over to Natalia.
"Yep!" Eric said so proudly.
"What's his name?" Ryan asked as he sat on the other side of Ryan.
"Well, 3 months ago, from what I remember, we decided on Kasen." Eric said as he rubbed Natalia's arm who smiled up at him.
"How you feel Natalia?"
"Tired, and I'm already kinda sore."
"Good. That's the way you're supposed to feel." Alexx said as she walked back over to them.
"Great." Natalia said as she rolled her eyes.
A few minutes later everyone but Natalia and Eric left.
"God, he's a nice looking kid." Eric said with his arm around Natalia's shoulder, and rubbing his new son's arm.
"He is. He must get that from his daddy." Natalia said as she looked up at Eric.
Their eyes locked and Eric leaned in and kissed her lips. Kasen started crying.
"Oh, someone doesn't like that do they?" Natalia said as she started rocking him back and forth to stop him from crying.
"Well, he'll have to get over that." Eric said as he turned Natalia's face back towards him and kissed her again.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
~A few hours later~
Natalia dressed Kasen on the couch in the breakroom as Eric walks in to get their stuff together.
"Alright little man, are you ready to go home?" Natalia said as she finished buttoning the green "mommy loves me" outfit that Calleigh bought Kasen.
"Who got him that outfit?" Eric said as he walked over to Natalia.
"Calleigh." Natalia said as she picked Kasen up.
"Hmmm...I'm gonna have to have a talk with her."
"Someone's jealous." Natalia said as they walked out of the breakroom and to the hummer, looking up at Eric.
"I am not. I just think if he has a "Mommy loves me" he should have a Daddy loves me. Cause I do love him." Eric said as he opened the door.
"Say, but daddy, you didn't carry me around for 9 months." Natalia said as she buckled him into his seat.
"True, but still." Eric said as he pulled out of the parking garage and made his way home.
~At home~
"We're home." Natalia said as she carried Kasen inside.
"I'm gonna go take a shower." Natalia said as she handed Kasen to Eric.
"Ok. We'll be up there in a bit." Eric called after her.
After Natalia got out of the shower, Eric and Kasen were in the room waiting on her. Kasen was crying.
"Mommy, I think he's hungry." Eric said walking over to Natalia as she walked out of the bathroom in a tshirt and shorts and her hair wet and curly.
"Come here."
Eric hands Kasen over to Natalia and goes and lays back in bed as Natalia follows.
"He's such a pretty baby." Eric said as he rubbed Kasen's head.
"And you're beautiful." Eric said as he kissed Natalia.
"And you're amazing." Natalia said as Eric grabbed Kasen's hand and Kasen wrapped his hand around Erics finger.
The rest of the night was up and down every 4 hours.
