Matt woke up with pounding in his head. He pressed his fingers to his temple and shut his eyes.

"Kaz?" he whispered. Matt gently moved his fingers to tap her shoulder. Karen turned into his touch and moaned in acknowledgment. She rubbed her eyes and said, "It’s three in the morning Matt. What?"

"Do I feel warm?"

Karen pressed the back of her hand to Matt’s forehead and then on hers. She frowned, “Yeah a bit. Wait.” Karen hopped up from the bed and rummaged through the cabinet shelf for a thermometer.

Matt sat with it in his mouth while Karen went downstairs to fetch him a glass of water. She grabbed an extra blanket on the way up and the night time dose of NyQuil.

"100.3," Matt said as she reentered the room. Karen handed him the water and medicine, and set the blanket by the foot of the bed.

"Try to go back to sleep?" she suggested. She climbed into the bed beside him but made sure to stay a safe distance away. "We can deal with it in the morning."

Matt stayed up all night coughing and Karen stayed awake with him, frequently refilling his glass of water and rubbing Vicks on his back at six am.

Jemma woke up crying at eight. Karen sighed, it had been a long night. She crawled out of bed to the nursery to find Marie already there, rocking Jemma in her arms. Her little nose was running and Karen wiped it with a tissue over her mum’s shoulder.

"Kazza," Marie said, "Do you want to check her temperature? I think she might be coming down with something." Jemma sneezed and confirmed her concern.

"Karen?" Matt shouted from the bedroom. Karen turned to leave and stopped at the doorway. She pointed to the drawers by the changing table.

"Thermometer should be in the second one mum."

Karen rushed back to the bedroom to help Matt with whatever he needed her for. She was out of the room a second later, scrambling to find a box of tissues. Jemma was crying even harder now and Marie brought her into Matt and Karen’s bedroom.

"Matt are you sick too?" she asked. He nodded and pulled the thermometer out of his mouth.

"101, how’s Jem?"

"100.5," she replied. Marie tried to soothe the baby, but it wasn’t working. When Karen returned with the tissues for Matt, Jemma reached out her arms for her mother. Marie sighed and handed Jemma over, rubbing Karen’s arm delicately.

"Try not to get sick dear."

Karen nodded and paced the room, trying to get Jemma to calm down. Marie headed downstairs to fix up some breakfast.

"Elsa," Jemma wailed. Matt picked up his laptop from beside him and ejected the DVD inside. He got up from the bed and turned on the TV for his daughter. Karen sat down on the covers, holding Jemma in her lap and closed her eyes.

"Sorry Karen," Matt said as he joined his girls. "You’ve been up for like six hours helping." Karen shook her head, "It’s fine."

Marie came back with a plate full of toast, some bananas, and tons of water. Matt thanked her gratefully. Jemma quieted down as the movie started and Karen relaxed. Nearing the end of the movie, Karen realized her eyes felt heavy and her throat was starting to hurt. Oh no.

"Mum? Can you bring me a thermometer?" she called from upstairs. Marie grabbed one from her bedroom and bounded up the staircase.

Well, it was settled. The three of them all had fevers and were to stay in bed, per Marie’s orders. Jemma was content laying on Karen, with her blankie and thumb in her mouth. Matt was coughing away and Karen was desperate for sleep and medication. Marie took Jemma off of their hands when Jemma would let her pick her up. Karen leaned on Matt’s shoulder and rubbed her belly with her hand.

"Do you wanna sleep honey?" Matt asked. Karen nodded and Matt scooted down so he was laying, not sitting. He wrapped his arm around Karen and she fell asleep with her head on his chest.

Marie took care of Jemma and lunch and brought some food up to Matt and Karen when they asked for it. The day was spent sleeping and watching rubbish TV in their bedroom. At eight, Marie gave Jemma a bath and set her down to sleep. Karen got up and walked around, hoping to be of some use; she’d practically slept all day.

Poor Jemma in her crib was all red rosy cheeks. Karen stroked her short ginger hair with her finger and kissed her on the forehead.

"Good night. I love you."

Karen headed downstairs to the kitchen to find Marie making some soup.

"Thanks mum, you are the absolute greatest," she said, sitting on a chair by the counter. "Don’t worry, I’m not gonna touch anything and I don’t want to make you sick too." Karen laughed.

"You can take your bowl." Karen held the comforting warmth of the bowl close to her body and carefully climbed the stairs.

After dinner and more endless hours of bad television, they decided to go to sleep. Matt switched off the lights and scooted closer to Karen.

Just two hours later, Jemma woke up bawling. Karen groaned, her throat was killing her. She rushed to Jemma’s crib and lifted her up, whispering to her lovingly. She walked around Jemma’s room and then headed to her own. Matt, who was now awake, got up and took Jemma from her arms.

"C’mere I’ve got you. Shh, it’s okay, I know, I know," Matt cooed. Karen coughed into her arm.

There was a knock on the door and Marie stood with a mug of tea in the corridor. She handed it to Karen and rubbed her back. Karen sipped the tea and sat down on the bed, watching Matt calm Jemma. When he sneezed four times in a row, Karen took Jemma back and Matt went for some more NyQuil. Jemma had started to cry again and her poor little nose was running. Karen’s throat burned. She wanted so badly to just down an entire bottle of NyQuil, but she couldn’t.

Crying Jemma eventually stopped and slowly drifted off to sleep in Karen’s arms. Karen crept into the covers of the bed and slid right next to Matt. He had his glasses on and his laptop out, tissues littered all around. Matt looked beside him and smiled. He dumped the tissues into the wastebasket and slung his arm around Karen’s waist. She snuggled her body up against his and after a few minutes, she had fallen asleep too.

~story anon

The strong winds howled at the window and the heavy rain poured over London with no sign of stopping. Karen tossed and turned in her bed. It was one in the morning and she had barely gotten any sleep. She turned to her side and tapped Matt’s shoulder gently.

"Matt?"

He made a sleepy sound of acknowledgment. “Hmm?”

Karen realized with a pang of guilt that it was his birthday and she’d kept him up all week with her.

"No, never mind, it’s fine. You can keep sleeping."

He smiled at her and kissed her pregnant belly.

"Thanks Kaz."

Matt’s eyes fluttered closed and Karen watched him as he drifted off, his chest rising steadily and his hair mussed up against the pillow.

Karen tried going to sleep but the mix of hormones, the baby kicking, and sheer exhaustion made it near impossible. She managed to doze off for an hour but before she knew it, Karen was awake again. And everything ached.

She stood up to go to the bathroom.

Suddenly, a stream of water trickled down her thigh. Then it gushed out of her, wetting her clothes and getting on the carpet.

"Shit!" she screamed.

Matt woke up with a start.

"Kaz?"

He jumped out of bed and rushed to her side when he saw her.

"My water broke!"

Matt panicked.

"Ok um. Let’s change? And go to the hospital?" He said, trying his best to stay calm.

Karen nodded and rummaged through her dresser to find a clean set of clothes.

Matt searched for a shirt to put on but in his panicked daze, he put his head through the arm holes and put his pants on backwards.

The increasing pain of each contraction caused Karen to stop what she was doing and close her eyes. But she saw Matt struggling with his shirt and smiled.

"Come here," she said, pulling him closer. "You are ridiculous, you know that?"

She lifted his shirt over his head and turned it over in her hands. Karen scrunched the shirt around the head hole and placed it around Matt’s neck.

"There."

Matt stuck his hands through the arm holes and grabbed the bag sitting by the door. They’d been packed for weeks since Karen’s due date was today.

"Matt, can you call my mum?" Karen said, gently rubbing her hands over her stomach. "Call Lynne and Laura too. I’m getting something to eat."

She made her way to the kitchen and stuck a piece of bread in the toaster.

Matt picked up a phone and dialed for Marie. He typed the wrong number. Four times.

"Speed dial," Karen reminded him from the kitchen. "Relax, Matt."

Karen bit into her toast as she listened to Matt talk to everyone. Every so often another contraction would hit and she shut her eyes and gripped the counter.

They left for the hospital after another hour.

Matt held his hand out for Karen’s and placed his arm around her waist for support as they walked to the car. The storm was still raging around them as Matt ushered Karen inside.

"Damn hurricane," Matt said, sliding into his seat.

Karen looked at Matt with worry in her eyes. “Is it safe to drive?”

Matt responded with more certainty than he had. “Yeah it’s fine. Just gotta be careful.”

Matt grasped the steering wheel tight, trying to stay focused and in control of the car. The rain was falling heavier now and the winds had picked up speed.

He darted his eyes briefly to Karen next to him when they were stopped at a red light. She looked at him and smiled reassuringly. Matt’s fingers loosened their grip on the steering wheel.

Another contraction ripped through Karen’s insides and she moaned in pain.

Matt tightened his grip and his stomach flip-flopped.

"Kaz, you okay?"

Karen nodded.

"Just breathe through it, we’re almost there."

As soon as they got to the hospital, the nurse scribbled something on a piece of paper and led Matt and Karen up to a private room.

Karen changed out of her clothes and Matt kept dashing to the door to peek into the hallway for Lynne and his sister.

"Hey Kaz? My mum’s here." Matt said after a while.

Karen was relieved. “Great,” she said. Matt was trying, he really was, but someone with more experience sure would be nice.

Lynne came in and dropped her bags on the floor. She gave Matt a hug and headed over to Karen, who was standing by the bed. Laura Jayne followed, with some water bottles and a balloon.

"Hey Laura, hey Lynne," Karen said warmly. "Thanks for coming. At like…five in the morning." She laughed.

Karen tensed up through another contraction and Lynne held out her hand to her.

"Thanks," Karen said, after it had passed.

Matt was still pacing the room.

Lynne and Laura Jayne glanced at Karen with an Is-He-Okay? look.

Karen shook her head. “He’s been like this the whole time. Can you calm him down?”

Laura sat down next to her baby brother and talked to him while Lynne supported Karen through the pain.

Karen had never been more grateful for her darling Smiths.

Five long hours of labor later and everyone was drained. Laura Jayne had quickly stepped out to get some coffee from downstairs and Lynne was seated on a chair in the corner of the room. Matt remained standing by Karen’s side, thankful he had worn decent shoes.

Karen grimaced. “Ow ow ow, they’re getting stronger!”

Matt rubbed circles on her lower back and squeezed her hand.

"You’re doing great."

Just then, Marie burst through the door.

"Mum!"

Karen reached out her hands for her mother. Marie rushed across the room.

"I didn’t think you’d get here in time," Karen said.

"I wouldn’t miss it for the world darling." Marie replied, wiping the sweat from Karen’s forehead.

Karen smiled as her mother took her hand, and then she winced and bit down on her lip.

Lynne and Laura Jayne cleared off an empty seat next to them just in case Marie ever wanted to sit down. Matt turned and looked at them thankfully.

The doctors and nurses in the room hovered around the bed, watching Karen and making sure things were going smoothly.

Another contraction sent Karen pushing involuntarily and she started to hyperventilate.

Matt stroked her hair, trying to calm her, and the doctors checked on the baby.

"Karen, I’m going to need you to push now," the doctor said.

Karen glanced promptly at Matt, and pushed.

"Hey guys? Um, can I just have Matt with me right now?" She asked, hesitating.

Marie, Lynne, and Laura Jane all smiled understandingly and exited the room.

"We’ll just be out in the hallway, Kazza." Marie said.

Karen squeezed Matt’s hand as contraction after contraction tore through her.

"Good Karen. Keep it up, you’re doing great," the doctor said.

Karen reached her hand down.

"Oh God, I can feel her head. Shit."

Matt laughed. He was unbearably anxious, but he remembered what Laura had said to him.

Matt kissed Karen’s hand and the doctors instructed her to push again.

Karen screamed.

"Oh honey, you’re so close. Just one more push." They told her.

Karen looked up at Matt with panic in her eyes.

He smiled at her and nodded reassuringly.

In those next few moments, time seemed to stop. Matt squeezed Karen’s hand and she stared into his eyes.

Their trance was interrupted by the sharp breaking cry of a newborn baby.

Karen dropped back on the bed, completely exhausted. Matt breathed out and ran a hand through his hair.

"Kaz you did it," he said beaming.

Matt brushed the hair from Karen’s face and kissed her gently on the forehead. She reached her arms up to him and pulled him down into a tired hug.

"Karen?" The doctors carefully handed the baby to Karen as she held out her arms.

Matt felt his blood rush through his veins. His heart went into overdrive, pumping blood, pulsing his love to every inch of his body. Matt was about to burst. Sitting right there before him were the two most beautiful things he’d ever seen in his life.

"Aw Matt," Karen said softly. "You’re crying."

Matt wiped the tears from his eyes.

"God I love you so much." He leaned over to give her another hug. Karen lifted her head instead, and Matt kissed her tenderly on the lips.

"Happy Birthday Matt.” She choked up.

"See, now you’re crying too."

Matt climbed into the hospital bed to lie next to his girls.

"Want to hold her?" Karen asked, sliding the baby into Matt’s arms.

The nurse left the room to call Marie, Lynne, and Laura Jayne, who entered shortly.

"Jemma Smith," Matt presented. He looked to Karen and smiled. "Our daughter."

The three ladies hugged Karen and fawned over the little girl in Matt’s arms.

"Well, we’d better get a picture of the three of you," Lynne said, pulling a camera out of her purse.

Matt and Karen marveled at their wonderful force of nature and the camera clicked, capturing the special moment forever in time.

Karen rested her head on Matt’s shoulder and stared at Jemma, her eyes slowly drifting shut.

She fell asleep flooded with happiness, surrounded by her favorite people in the world.

Matt glanced at his side and turned to kiss Karen’s hair.

"Look, Jems, Mummy’s fallen asleep."

"Isn’t she the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?"

Jemma cried a response.

"Yeah, I know."

I was lucky enough and got my 50th Clara dress for super cheap from a friend who had an extra :(

I would have got it for £30 from the original sight but my mum thought it was ugly and wouldn't buy me it :(
