OOC: Wouldn’t that be one for the medical journals…

Morganna nodded “Both.” She said “Third baby.” She said looking at Rivar. Morganna was calm even through the contractions. She kept her mind calm and let things move along like they were supposed to.

CNS

Siegfried smiled. “Fourth time’s the charm.” and he patted her shoulder. “Are we doing an epidural?” he asked as he watched the scans. Everything was normal as he moved to the end of the biobed and said “Up to you, but now’s the time to decide.”

Abel, CMO

Morganna shook her head “No I’m good.” She said “Third baby is always easier.” She said as she looked at River “I love you Imazadi.” she said as another contraction started and she took Rivar’s hand.

“I love you too…” Rivar said with a large nervous smile. It was her third time but his first. Her precious husband had a hand in the other pregnancies. Now he was here and things felt nerve wracking and terrifying. He couldn’t let his emotions overwhelm her though.

CNS

“Hope so. It’s only the third time I’ve done this, too.” and he gave her a wink. Settling in to position, he looked and assessed where they were at.

(OOC: Don’t know how long or complicated you want this to be. Let me know and I’ll run with it.)

Abel, CMO

OOC: Can an NE nurse be of help in any way? …

Kenson

OOC: Always. A doctor is only as good as their nurses.

James

NE Doubtfire prepped up and reported to help with the delivery. She looked at the mediscans and prepared a warm bath.

GM

OOC: Uncomplicated

IC: Morganna listened to her body and what the doctor told her, this was very different from her second daughter’s birth, when she didn’t know where her husband was or if he was alive. This time her husband was with her and they were prepared and ready for this baby. S

CNS

“What can I do?” Rivar asked. This wasn’t the ask of a captain but a very nervous husband and father as he looked around the room.

Calin, CO

Abel looked at the Captain from behind the drape over Morganna’s legs and said “Stay up there with her and just keep her as relaxed as you can. If you hold her hand, I recommend only single finger of yours in her hand at a time. Contractions can be quite… something… and I have seen more than one father’s hand break when the mother squeezed during the event.” and he winked at the man. “And you stay calm too. This looks as perfect as it could be.” He looked at the nurse and said “Get the L&D table ready and start the medical record for…” and he looked around the drape again, “… have you picked out a name?” he asked as he went back to work.

Calin nodded as he took a deep breath. He felt a sense of nervous apprehension as he waited with Morganna holding her hand. Normally he could order something to be done, or find a way to get things going. Now it was all on the child and their timing.

Abel, CMO

“Yes doctor,” replied Nurse Doubtfire. She got out the equipment ready and she pressed on the side panel to put the computer on stand by for the entry of the medical record.

GM

“Not yet.” Morganna stated as another contraction started and she began pushing to bring their son into the world. She focused on a place that made her relaxed and comfortable. She let her body dictate how things went. It was about as perfect a delivery it was moving quickly and about 30 minutes later the baby was ready to enter the world.

CNS

A final push and Abel cradled the newborn in his glove covered hands. A few moments later and he said “Almost done. Dad? Care to do the honors?” and handed the CO a pair of surgical shears. The umbilical cord was clamped off in two places and Abel said “Right here between the two.”

Calin felt a sense of joy as he took the shears, he was almost on tears as he get as he looked at the little bundle.

Abel, CMO

Morganna leaned back against the bed, tired yet happy as the baby cried. She looked at Rivar “His name is Etak Dren.” She said

CNS

Nurse Doubtfire prepped the computer and the name the mother spoke became part of the computer’s record.

Kenson

Abel made a few notes and weighed and measured the newborn. As soon as the placenta was no longer an issue, he brought Etak over and handed him to Morganna. He looked at the parents. “Commodore. Commander. All is in perfect order. Commander, rest here for a few hours, then we will get you to your quarters. Congratulations, mom and dad. And welcome to the universe, Etak. I look forward to seeing what you do!” he said with a warm and welcoming smile.

Abel, CMO

Ensign Wolf has a gift for the newborn A wood carved Crib.

Calin stood next to Morganna as he looked down at the newborn Etak with a large smile. “Wow…” was all that could come out as he looked down softly as be placed his hand over the cheek of his child.

Calin, CO

Abel looked at the scans of mother and baby and smiled. “Everything is exactly as it should be. Congratulations, both of you. Now, we will get you all situated in your quarters and you can start to get to know each other. I will be by every so often to check on you, but if you need me just call.” He patted the CNS on the shoulder and then shook the CO’s hand. Turning to the nurse he said “Let’s prep a transport gurney for mother and child, and make sure we submit the birth record to Command on the next records update. Thank you.” and he turned and went to check on NE Dribol.

Abel, CMO

Rivar nodded at Abel as he walked over to the man. “Thank you…” he said as he took Abel’s hand and took a deep breath. This had moved so fast, one moment he was working the next he was looking at the birth of his child. He couldn’t help but wonder. “We need to get the girls from Kate!” Rivar said he had left a message to his CoS whom always insisted to be the one to watch his kids. He had thought about doing an Earth tradition for her that he had learned from her fiance Shaun about Godparents. They held a religious belief and she had become a big part of watching and mentoring his girls, it felt right to let her have a place at this moment too.

Calin, CO

Nurse Doubtfire moved quickly and procured a gurney. The comfortable material inside was a pale blue background with pale yellow patterns.

NE Doubtfire

Abel chuckled and shook Calin’s hand. “No thanks necessary. But you need to breathe, Captain. One thing at a time, all right? Why don’t you have the Security Chief bring your children to your quarters? They can meet their new sibling there. It will be a fonder memory than the sterility of the Sickbay.” and he chuckled again.

Abel, CMO

Glancing to her side, Kate saw the room lighten and NE Doubtfire bringing around the gurney. Kate snapped her fingers in rapid succession at the girls. From the years she had been babysitting them, they knew this was meant to get their attention. While many people thought this gesture was odd, it did do the trick. “Girls it’s time.” The squeal in her voice made it hard to tell if she was more excited for them or her. Grabbing up the gifts and flowers, Kate and the girls hustled out hurriedly into the main room making a beeline for their mom and dad. Looking down not up, Kate followed them but not before plowing into Shaun.

“The baby’s here. The baby is here,” she kissed Shaun excitedly.

“I love babies,” she sighed before moving away from him and towards the captain and his wife.

Naliah was the first one to Morganna’s side. She smiled up an laid her head on the side of the bed not sure if it was okay to crawl in the bed yet with her mom or not
“Momma we made these for you,” Naliah said holding up a vase of flowers towards their mom. “They are your favorite. I got,” she began to point out all the flowers Morgana loved with a huge smile on her face.

“Daddy,” Maliah said pressing up to him in a side hug. “I made momma a vase of flowers but Naliah and I wanted to make sure Momma knows how much you love her too so I made this one for you. It is all Betazioidian Purple Magic Daliah because that is what you always give her and she always smiles. You don’t have to tell her we made it for you. Can we make it our secret and just say you gave it to us to hold? That’s not lying right?”
