“Just look!” she snaps.

Lifting up her dress, I pull her panties down and my eyes widen. “Oh, no, this isn’t good.”

“What is it?” Emerson looks too. “Is that fucking hair?”

“The baby is coming now!” Scarlet screams in pain.

“Shit, shit, shit.” I jump to my feet. “Get her in the bed. We’re not making it to the hospital. We're having this baby here, now, in that bed.”

“What!” Emerson roars.

Carefully, I get Scarlett into the bed and rush over to Emerson. “We need towels, hot water, and sterile supplies.”

“I’ll call the doctor. Get a maid in here right now.”

My ears buzz, my heart races, and I feel like I’m going to puke. I’ve never been so panicked, so frazzled in my life. I don’t know what to do. I never prepared for a home birth. “I don’t know what to fucking do!”

“Neither do I!”

SCARLETT

While my husbands scream at each other and run around like chickens with their heads cut off, I focus on my breathing, trying to concentrate through the pain.

I’ve tried to get their attention more than once, but they’re so far gone in their freaked out state they can’t hear me.

For a couple of mobsters who kill people for a living, you would think they would do better under pressure.

If there wasn’t a literal baby coming out of me right now, I’d think it was funny.

I feel another wave of pain and the urge to push. I can’t hold it off anymore. My baby is coming, right here, right now. “Guys,” I pant out. “Guys!”

Nothing. Emerson is screaming in Alistair's face about who’s right. They’re both wrong, clearly.

Reaching between my legs, I say fuck it because who needs a man when a woman can do it. With everything in me, I push as hard as I can. For a moment I feel like I might very well die, but then I feel my baby's head, and all I can think about is getting them out of me until they’re safe in my arms.

The baby slides out, and I gasp in a lungful of air as I pull my sweet baby up and into my arms.

I’m smiling, laughing in shock as I look down at my bloody, gooey baby. I check the baby over and smile wider when I see she’s a girl. And then she lets out this ear-piercing cry that lets her daddies know she’s here.

Both of them go quiet, their heads snapping over to me. “She’s here.” I laugh in shock, tears of happiness running down my face.

They both stare at me, wide eyes and stunned. “Holy shit,” Alistair pants.

“That's a baby.” Emerson points to my chest, still in shock. I burst into giggles.

“Yes. Our baby. Our baby girl.”

They fall onto the bed beside me, finally snapping out of their panicked stature. “Fucking hell, Little Star.” Emerson laughs, his face contorted in awe and wonder as he looks at our baby. “You just fucking had a baby.”

“With no help from either of you.” I don’t have it in me to be upset, though.

“Fuck,” Alistair hisses. “We are so sorry, Cupcake. We were freaking out a little. We didn’t know she would come this fast!”

“A little?” I grin. “Sure. If you say so. That's okay, I got this.” I smile down at my baby girl. “We got this, didn’t we, baby.”

“I’ve never been so turned on in my life,” Emerson rasps.

“What?” Alistair asks.
