AJ reached to silence the wailing phone. He kissed Molly's shoulder as he reached for the phone "hello, oh my god, yes we will be there in 15 minutes, don't ask who, we will see you in a bit" AJ hung up the phone and jumped out of bed and reached for his jeans, talking excitedly. "CHIPPER, Chipper that was Kevin, Skylar is in labour"
Molly sat up in bed and reached for her jeans. The couple had spent the entire night talking in each other's arms. They had both wanted to give into the feelings that had been surpressed for so long but they wanted to nurture their feelings and wait for the right time. "Oh my god, she is early, my god they just got married yesterday, oh my god" Molly was crying and laughing at the same time. She and AJ ran down the stairs and into his truck. "Umm Alex we didn't brush our hair or our teeth" Molly grinned.
"The hell with that , Kevin is going to be a daddy soon and I am about to be an uncle."

"It hurts so bad, please make it stop" Skylar was clutching Kevin's hand as the contraction ravished her body. "Baby if you ever loved me you would knock me over the head so I didn't feel this pain"
Kevin was worried about all the pain his wife was in but he was also trying not to laugh as she begged him to knock her out. He wiped her face with the cold washcloth and smiled at her "Baby you only have another inch to go and then you can get the epidural, breath through it baby, come on, breath."

Howie, Nick and Brian were already in the waiting room with Kevin's mom and brothers when Molly and AJ ran into the room.
Howie's face lit up when he saw her "Molly, what are you doing here, when did you get into town?" Howie jumped up to hug her.
Molly hugged him tight "I got in last night, so how is Skylar?" Molly asked, trying to change the subject.
"HELLO she is feeling like partying, hello she is having a baby, can you imagine the pain " Nick said nervously.
"Calm down Nicky, my lord, who gave him the caffeine" Molly teased.
"Chipper you look good, how are things going?" Brian hugged her, making a sad face as he hugged her thin body.
"I am slowly gaining weight and getting my strength back, now that I have my best friend here with me I am sure I will recover a lot faster" Molly smiled at AJ lovingly.
Howie frowned while he watched the interaction between his best friend and ex girlfriend. "So are you planning on moving to a clinic down here?"
Molly looked at AJ and smiled, they had discussed that last night "yes, there is a great clinic here in Orlando, I will be close to you all and of course to Skylar, I will be able to help her with the baby while Kevin is out on tour."
They stopped talking when Kevin walked into the waiting room. "Everything is going fine, they are giving her the epidural and she is almost completly dilated which means she can start pushing. I should be a daddy within the hour" Kevin's eyes welled with tears as he thought of the prospect of becoming a dad. He looked at his group of friends and his eyes widened when he saw Molly amongst the group. "Chipper, when did you get here?" Kevin picked her up and hugged her.
"I got in last night, the wedding was beautiful" Molly smiled as Kevin put her down. "So hwo is the mommy to be?"
"Screaming, miserable and blaming me, I guess she is fine" Kevin grinned. "She would love to see you, she is bummed that the hootchies are all gone home, come with me" Kevin took her hand and led her to Skylar's room. Molly walked in and saw her friend resting comfortably.
"Ah the drugs must be working, she is not screaming obscenities" Molly teased.
"Molly, oh my god, hi, when did you get here?" Skylar gave her a tired smile and reached to hug her.
”I got in last night, girl you were a vision, the most perfect bride"
"I am so glad you are here. So what made you decide to come?"
"Both of you can stop your sly questioning and hinting" Molly teased "I came to see Alex" she said as her eyes twinkled.
"And what did Mr Alex have to say?"
"We spent the night talking, and well I am transferring to the clinic down here so I can be close to him, and of course to you and the baby"
"Oh my god I am so proud of you" Skylar squeezed Molly's hand as the pain took over "baby I think Peanut is ready"
"I will see you all in a bit" Molly kissed her friend's damp and flushed forehead and squeezed Kevin's hand as she stepped out of the way of the nurses.
~~**~~
"So what exactly is going on between you and Molly?" Howie confronted AJ.
"D don;t pull this jealous, possesive shit with me, you and Molly are not a couple, we have feelings for each other and we are trying to work through them" AJ tried to calm his friend down.
"That is so low, you know that I care for her, how could you go after my ex, shit man I though we were friends" Howie said angrily.
"Guys this is not the time or the place for this discussion, a new life is coming into this world we should be celebrating, besides do you think is going to help Molly if she hears you guys fighting over her. She is still trying to heal and this will set her back. If the two of you care for her you will get over this macho shit and let her be happy. Howie if she is happy with AJ then you should understand that and wish her your best. " Nick tried to ease the tension between his two friends.
"When did Frack get so deep?" Howie joked.
The 4 men were laughing when Molly walked back into the room. She walked over to AJ and sat down beside him.

"Okay Skylar a big push and you will be able to see Peanut's head" the doctor instructed as Skylar clenched Kevin's hand and panted. She looked up at the mirror on the ceiling and started to cry when she saw her baby's crown. "Oh my god, baby look"
Kevin was crying "I see baby I see, oh my god this is incredible"
"Okay Skylar I am just cleaning out the baby's passages, okay let's push one more time and deliver this beautiful child"
Skylar let out a scream as she pushed and started to cry when she saw the baby in the doctor's arms "what is it, let me see Peanut" Skylar was crying and holding onto Kevin as she waited for the doctor to lay the baby in her arms.
"Well daddy you had better get the shotgun becasue you are going to be beating them off of her, she is one beautiful baby girl" the doctor announced as he laid their daughter in Skylar's arms.
"A daughter, I have a daughter, we have a daughter, oh baby she looks exactly like her mother, she is stunning" Kevin kissed his daughter and then looked at a beaming Skylar "baby thank you for giving me this miracle, I love you so much, thank you for making all my dreams come true" Kevin slid into the bed with Skylar as they both stared at their daughter.
~~**~~
Molly looked up first as a crying Kevin walked into the room "Are you alright, is Skylar alright?" Molly asked worried. "I am a daddy, I have a little girl, she is so beautiful" Kevin held open his arms and his friends ran to hug him.
~~**~~
" Oh my god look at her little toes, oh look at her yawning"
"She is precious" The group gathered around the nursery room window and stared at Baby Richardson as the card on her crib read.
"That could be you one day" AJ whispered to a crying Molly.
~~**~~
"Peanut needs a name" Kevin said as he and Skylar watched their friends admiring their daughter.
"I know, so which is it...Emma Ann, Hannah Brigid or Addie?" Skylar asked her husband.
" Hannah sounds perfect"
"Well then Hannah Carol Ann Richardson it is"

2 months later
"So how is Miss Nibs?" Kevin asked his wife.
"Well as you can hear she is awake and wants to be fed." Skylar laughed. The guys had just started their tour and Kevin had already managed to run up the phone bill. He called every chance he had to check on the baby and his wife.
"Kiss her and tell her daddy misses her, I love you baby"
"I love you too, have a great show" Skylar hung up the phone "I am coming Hannah, mommy is coming peanut"
~~**~~
"I gained another 4 pounds, I am only 10 pounds to my goal weight" Molly said proudly as she talked to Alex.
"Baby I am so proud of you, wow, I talked to Doctor Wilson yesterday and he is so proud of you and the steps you are making. He says that by the time the tour is finished you will be out of the clinic and that means that you and I can move in together" Alex and Molly had been dating since the wedding and they were now making plans to move in together when the tour ended. They spoke every day and their conversations were filled with magical words of love. They knew that they were meant to be lovers and were anxious to move to the next step. The night before Molly had a rough evening and when she had called AJ in tears he had calmed her down and told her that he was going to marry her when she reached her target weight.
Denise knew that her son had found the woman he would spend the rest of his life with and she was thrilled. The net and papers were alive with rumors about the two but they just shrugged it off and went on. Howie had found a love interest in one of the hootchies. He and Jessi had been burning up the phone lines talking and they would be having their first official date at the Grammys.
Alex hung up the phone and looked at the picture of the two of them that he carried in his wallet and smiled "Chipper you and I have come a long way baby"
