Chapter 30
That night, the guys had indeed won their match and came backstage to what could have been described as a hero’s welcome, with Brian singing a crude version of “We Are the Champions” at the top of his lungs.
“Will you knock it off, fuck-o?” Paul asked, laughing. “You’re embarrassing the shit out of us.”
“I’m not embarrassed,” Brian grinned back. “May as well enjoy it with me; most of the locker room thinks we’re butt buddies anyway. Not that I’d want to tap that.” He gave a loud whack on Paul’s ass.
“Jesus Christ, Midget!” he yelled, still laughing. “Have you any limits?”
“Fuck no.”
“I should have known better than to ask in the first place.”
“Hey, speaking of partners, where’s the girls? I figure at least Kimberly would be out here to ambush us.”
“Yeah, good point. Maybe she’s still with Lana.”
“Well, may as well go show them our hard-earned gold, PL. After all, it was your wife that said not to come back here without it.”
Their banter was interrupted when Barbie rushed up toward them. “There you are! I’ve been looking all over for you!”
Paul gave her a look. “Why? What’s going on?”
“They just took Lana out of here to the hospital awhile ago. She’s having the baby. Kim followed the ambulance and said to tell you guys to meet her there. Mel’s got Danny in case you were wondering.”
“Fucking hell!” Paul said, going a little pale. “I knew I should have taken her to the hospital earlier when she was having that backache.”
“Lana’s water broke while she was watching you guys’ match,” Barbie added. “Kim took care of everything.”
“We better haul ass, dude,” Brian told him. “Red could have have that kid popped out halfway by now and calling you every dirty name known to man while she’s at it.”
“Yeah,” Paul nodded. “And at that point, I don’t dare say anything that either would get me arrested in a few world countries or my balls ripped off. I already went through all that craziness when she was having Danny.”
Several hours later:
“Just one more push, Lana, ” the doctor said.
She nodded, doing what she was instructed; it seemed to be a little easier this time around then it had been when Danny was born. Lana wasn’t sure that it was because it was her second child or the baby was a girl, but in any case, she was in no position to complain.
The room had filled with the sound of baby cries while Paul still held her hand. Their daughter had finally arrived.
“We finally got our baby girl,” he said kissing her lips softly.
“And she’s very healthy,” the doctor said, handing the tiny form to Lana.
Emily Paulina had a full head of dark hair and caramel skin like her father and large blue eyes that she had inherited from her mother. She had reminded Lana of what Danny had looked like at birth, only Emily was a little more petite in length and weight.
A nurse then took the baby to clean her up after a few moments while Lana was being prepared to be taken to the recovery room once the tubal ligation had been completed. Her family was now complete, exhausting as it had been.
