Chapter 11~ Happy Birthday
"Come on, Ken. You're almost there," Brian said, wiping the sweat from my forehead with a damp cloth. "Okay, Kennedy. One more push and we'll have ourselves a baby!" Dr. Allen said. I looked up at Brian, who smiled at me. "Let's go, babe. You can do it," he whispered. I took his hand. "Okay ready?" the nurse asked. I nodded and inhaled deeply. "Go. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1," another nurse counted. I pushed so hard, I wanted that baby out of me! The I heard him. His beautiful cries. I burst into tears, watching the doctor hold him up. "Contratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Littrell. You have yourselves a perfect baby boy," she said. Brian leaned down and kissed me, while the nurses cleaned him off and weighed and measured him. A few moments later he was placed in my arms, with Brian at my side. His parents, my parents, the guys and Marissa all rushed into my room, with gifts and balloons. "Aww, Kennedy! He's so adorable!" Marissa said, touching his nose. I smiled and looked up at Brian, whose gaze was fixed on our son. He caught me looking at him and smiled. "Well! You've been keeping this from us for two months! What's his name?" AJ said, putting his arm around Brian's shoulders. I nodded to Brian, who took the baby from my arms. "Everyone, I would like you to meet Nickolas Thomas Littrell," he said. "Nickolas?" Nick choked out, trying to keep from crying. I smiled and nodded. Marissa walked over to him and wrapped her left arm around his waist. "I think we should call the album 'Small Miracles'," Howie said. All the guys looked at each other and smiled. "That's perfect," Brian said, kissing Nickolas' nose. "Brian, I think we should call him Nicky. We can't have two Nickloases and no Nickys!" I said. Everyone laughed and Brian nodded. "Nicky it is," Brian said. Just then his cell phone rang. He handed Nicky to me and answered it. "Hello?... Hi, Donna.... Yes, thank you... Nickolas Thomas... Thank you... He's perfect... So soon?... Okay... Yes, tomorrow is okay...Kennedy gets out of here in about three hours, I think...Okay...See you then...Bye," he said. "What about tomorrow?" I asked. He pushed the antennae down on his phone and put it back in his pocket. "JIVE wants to have a press conference about Nicky. I guess a lot of papers and magazines have been calling the offices, and they want us to make an official announcement," he explained. "What time tomorrow?" I asked, adjusting the blanket around Nicky. "2 PM," he answered. "Does she want us to be there?" Kevin asked. "Yeah, she does, so the press can ask us some questions not concerning the baby," Brian said. "Well I think a little serenade is in order," AJ said. I looked at him questioningly. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you," he began. The everyone joined in. "Happy birthday dear Nicky, happy birthday to you."
