Irish held her hand, letting her squeeze as much as she wanted. Mercury nodded in a fatherly way and had Levi and Sean but up sheets for privacy. "Okay, now Poet, seems to me you're about to go, okay? So I need you to listen to me. Only push when I tell you, alright?" Mercury had Irish dab at her forehead. He laid one hand on her stomach and looked into her eyes. "Now push, Poet. Just once, then breath." He encouraged her.
Street looked up at Hunter. "Thank ya... Ya know, for..." She chewed on her lip. "For carin' about me. I don't really deserve it, ya know." She whispered up to him. She patted his arms that were around her, liking the pressure. She avoided Levi's eyes. But Levi was worrying about his own problems. Like where to get a drink at this hour with Sean. He didn't know where Asher had gone and he couldn't handle Poet screaming. Scared him to death.

Abby reached up her hand a patted Spade on his cheek. "Ya tired?" She chuckled. She rested her cheek on his head as she waited. Everytime Poet screamed she cringed slightly. She must be in some kind of pain, she thought. She'd never heard Poet scream like that.
Chase looked at Ace. He saw the worried look in her eyes agian. "I'm fine, honest. And I'm all yours now." He smiled and kissed her gently. "Don't worry 'bout me none." At least i figured out what Mischief was hiding from me. She's a killer. I was just another target for her. Chase squeezed her hand, assuring her.
Mush looked over to where Street and Hunter were standing. He seemed to really care for her. He calmed the jealous beast inside him. He could care for her better than Mush could anyway. Mush was too old for Street anyway. He searched for Levi. He looked awful. Mush walked over to him. "What's up, bud?"

Poet looked into Mercury's eyes as she squeezed Irish's hand and released a scream of pain and when he said push, she listened and pushed hard once and then took in a deep breath as she await him to instruct her again. She was ready for this to be over with, she wanted the pain to go aay, she was on the verge of wanting to pass out due to the excrutiating pain but she managed to stay awake.
Hunter shifted and wrapped his arms tight around Street's waist and he rested his chin on her head as he held her. "Street, I'd do anythin' fer ya....I've missed you so much...I'm sorry I haven't been here fer ya but I promise I'll be around more,"he whispered to her as he held her tight.
Spade looked at Abby and grinned,"Abit, but I'm jus' taking in everythin' I love about you, the way you smell...your warmth, yer touch, the beat of your heart,"he told her softly, he really did love this girl he held in his arms.
Ace looked into Chase's eyes and then squeezed his hand lightly again before letting go of his hand and wrapping her arms around his waist as she rested her head on his shoulder,"I'm glad ta be yers Chase....I'll take care of ya...I'll be hereh no matta what...I love you,"she whispered to him.

Mercury nodded. "Good girl. Now, everytime you feel a contraction, push hard once, breath, then push again. Can you do that honey?" He asked quietly as Irish wiped her forehead and held her hand. "Too bad about your pretty dress." Mercury tried to joke weakly.
Street looked at Hunter. She hugged his arms tightly. "Thank ya. I know I've been... distant too, but I'm tryin', honestly. I got distracted, but I'm tryin'." Street murmured, looking into his eyes.

Chase grinned at Ace. "Don't let it change ever." He laughed and kissed her. "I love you too. I never stopped." He smiled at the truth in his words. He hugged her tightly. He turned back towards where he heard Poet scream. He cringed slightly. "I ain't never heard anyone scream like that before. Well except maybe Brooke when she got that knife driven into her leg by Killer." His voice trailed off.
Abby lifted her head off of Spade's. She smiled at him and pulled him closer to her. She breathed in his scent. She sighed while exhaling. "Spade... I love ya." She said. She looked back up at him. "Don't fall asleep on meh now." She teased him.

Poet listened to Mercury, pushing hard with every contraction, breathing in as needed and gripping Irish's hand til it turned red. It seemed like it took forever but the next thing she knew, after all the pain, she heard the crying of a baby and she looked up at Mercury,seeing her child in his hands. "Irish...."she muttered breathlessly, she was amazed.
Ace kissed Chase back and nodded before she followed his gaze, the room seemed to have gone silent and then she heard the crying of a child and she smiled,"It's a beautiful thing, look at it Chase..."she said pointing to the baby in Mercury's hands.
Spade grinned and looked up at Abby,"I ain't gonna fall asleep, not til lateh when we're safe at the lodging house....and I love you too Abby, more then anything,"he told her as he looked into her sparkling eyes.
Hunter Held her tight and smiled, everything seemed perfect, Street in his arms, Poet being married and now there was a child ijn Mercury's arms that was beautiful. He grinned,"Isn't it amazing?"he whispered to Street.
Poet looked up at Mercury and tilted her head slightly as she let it all sink in,"Is it a boy or a girl?"she asked as she squeezed Irish's hand happily and she closed her eyes for a moment breathing in finally letting her body relax, she knew one thing though...she and Irish hadn't picked a name yet, for whether it was a boy or a girl, they hadn't chosen a name.

Irish nodded. "It's a girl Poet. Go on, name her..." He said quietly, kissing her forehead. Mercury smiled. "She's a beauty, Poet, she is." Irish handed her the baby, wrapped in a towel after Mercury had cleaned her off a bit. "Look, she has yer hair, thank the Lord." He chuckled.
Street made a face. "Eh, I don't wanna touch it." While she loved babies, she did not like seeing them all new and... gross. Though she supposed it would be different if she had kids of her own, one day. "Wonder what they're gonna name it. Some people say ya hear a name when ya see yer baby, I'm thinkin' 'Gross red thin' but I suppose they won't chose that one." She chuckled.

Chase smiled at Ace. He kissed her cheek and grabbed her hand. Together, they walked over to see the newborn. He looked at Poet who was holding her baby and thinking of a name. Then, at Irish who seemed happy taht it was all over and done with. He stood there and watched the happy couple. He pulled Ace closer and stood with his arm around her waist.
Abby reached up and kissed Spade. She smiled at him. She heard the cry of a baby and gasped as she turned around. She walked forward, looking around Mercury to get a look at the baby. She reached for Spade's hand. When she got ahold of it, they moved closer. "She's beautiful, Poet." She smiled at Poet and the baby attempting to avoid Irish.

Poet smiled as tears of joy brimmed her sparkling eyes and she held the baby in her arms. She looked into the girl's eyes, she had Irish's eyes...the sparkling green color, she was beautiful. Poet thought for a moment as she let it all sink in and when Irish said to name her she thought for a moment, she had researched a few Irish names in a book not long ago that Hunter had gotten for her, she tried to remember and then it hit her clear as day. "Duana...."Poet said simply, a loving tone in her voice as she looked up into Irish's eyes,"Is that ok?"she asked him, it incorporated both her and her husband, Duana being Irish for poem.
Ace followed Chase and leaned against him when he stopped and put his arm around her. She smiled looking down at the baby in Poet's arms, she was gorgeous. Ace wrapped her arm around Chase's waist as she took in his scent for a moment and watched the couple and the newborn, it all seemed so perfect. "They look so happy..."she muttered to Chase.
Spade kissed Abby back and before he knew it, she was pulling him forward to look at the child. He smiled and held Abby's hand as he squeezed it lightly,"I'm sure she'll be jus' like you too, she's already so beautiful,"Spade commented after Abby.
Jack watched from behind Ace and Chase and he grinned as he put his hands in his pockets,"Well wasn't today just a very eventful day? In the worst and the Best ways possible,"he said cheerfully as he looked over Ace and Chase at the baby that Poet held, he was happy for her, but somewhere in the back of his mind, he still felt jealousy toward Irish, the slightest bit, but he could not change what had happened, it was set now...he could never get Poet back.

Irish smiled at his girls. It felt so good for him to be able to say that. Though he felt like collapsing from mental strain, he was very taken with his daughter. Already, he only saw her and Poet. "Duana." He cooed, the name like music with his accent. He took his daughter gently and cradled her, cooing in Irish at her. "Oh Oi love ye already, Duana O'Reilly." He said. Sean came up to them and smiled at the baby.
"Yer gonna be a heartbreaker." Sean told the child confidently. Irish rolled his eyes.
"She's not even a day old. This just means ye gotta keep Gemma away from her." Irish said to his cousin, still staring at the baby. "Ah, here, go to yer momma." He said, handing her gently to Poet. "When ye feel better, Oi'll take ye home."
"I will just go and get some clothes from the store, alright?" Mercury said, ducking out. Irish sighed.
"This is a very good day." he said cheerfully.

Chase looked down at Ace. He liked the feeling of her arm around his waist. He squeezed her side. "Duana." He whispered. He smiled. "Sean, i couldn't agree more." He chuckled. "Little heartbreaker." He smiled and put a finger on her cheek. He gently stroked it.
Abby walked forward, letting go of Spade's hand. She kneeled down next to Poet. "She's beautiful." She whispered. The way Irish said his daughter's name made her look up at him. It didn't hurt her to look at him anymore like she thought. Now, she saw him as Irish O'reilly. The married man, the father, not Irish O'reilly the man she thought she was in love with.

Poet nodded at Mercury before he ducked out to go retrieve some clothes and then she looked up at Irish and Sean as they exchanged small comments. When Abby knelt beside her she smiled at the girl,"Would you like to hold her Abby?"Poet asked kindly, she could see the adoring look in Abby's eyes when she looked at Duana, everyone seemed to be admiring her baby girl. Poet gently handed Duana to Abby and then looked back at Irish,"As soon as Mercury gets back and I get cleaned up, I do want to go home...."she said, it seemed like a good idea to get the baby home and settled and then get some rest with Irish.
Ace smiled and leaned against Chase abit more,"When Mercury gets back, we should head back with Jack to the Lodging house, it's been a long day,"she whispered to him. She could feel how tired she was getting, but she wasn't showing it.
Spade smiled down at Abby and Poet when Poet handed Abby the baby, he could tell that Poet really had no hard feelings toward anything Abby had done in the past, this made him really happy, knowing that his close friend and his girl could get along nicely.
Jack patted Irish on the back and grinned,"You'll make a great father and husband to them, I'm sure of it,"he said, pushing all jealousy aside, he knew he had to be the bigger man with it all for Poet's sake.

Irish kissed Poet's forehead just as Mercury came back, carrying a large bundle. "Here, I know it's alot, but Scarlett thought the twins were going to be girls. We were going to name them Rose and Lily, you know." he shrugged, opening the bundle. "Here's a lovely little dress for Duana, it even has little flowers embroidered around the hem. A specialty of Scarlett's." he smiled. "Here's a blanket too," He handed the things to Poet. "And Scarlett told me to give you this," he said to Poet, handing her a pretty dress that was very comfortable for her to change into.
Street looked at Hunter. "I need ta talk ta ya." She pulled him a little way from the crowd. "Have ya been hearin' any rumors about King's Cartel? They're startin' ta scare me, Hunta, if we don't even know who they are..." She murmured quickly and quietly, not wanting to alert the others.

Abby took the baby from Poet gently. She smiled at her. "Duana." She cooed. She gently rocked Duana in her arms. Mercury came back with a large bag for Poet. She handed Duana back to Irish. "Here ya go baby, go back ta daddy." She smiled at Duana then at Irish and Poet and walked back to Spade. She looked up at him. "Wanta go now?" She asked, putting an arm around his waist as they looked at the new family.
Chase smiled at Ace. He watched as Abby held the baby and give her back. She was good with kids. When Mercury came back he took Ace's hand. "Sure. Come on." They walked over to Irish and Chase patted him gently on the back, seeing he had the baby. "Congrats, Irish." He smiled at him. He looked down at Duana and tickled her stomach with his fingers. "Nice Poet. She's a beauty." He smiled at her. He squeezed Ace's hand.

Poet smiled at Mercury greatfully,"Tell Scarlett thank you, and thank you somuch fer yer help Mercury,"she said before she looked up at Irish. "Help meh ta Medda's room ta change?"she asked him sweetly, she knew she couldn't do it on her own, she was still in alot of pain. She Smiled at Abby and then her eyes fell on Chase and Ace when Chase complimented her,"Thanks Chase, she is lovely,"she agreed softly.
Ace looked at Irish and then down at Poet,"We'll see you two tomorrow ok? we'll come by and help ya finish settin' up Duana's stuff Poet,"she assurred. She looked up at Chase and squeezed his hand abit again and kissed his cheek,"C'mon les go so we can get some sleep,"she whispered to him.
Hunter looked at Street and listened to her words intently, he tilted his head and squeezed one of her hands in his,"Street,only thing I know is that the scene that jus' happened before Poet had the baby, that stuff wit Mischief, I'm sure she's part of whateveh it is and those guys that were at the bar before it happened,"he told her softly. He looked into her eyes,"Street if yer worried, I'll help anyway I can, do ya wanna tell Irish and Poet we'll see them later and I'll walk ya to yer Lodgin' house?"he asked her softly.
Spade nodded and held Abby's hand and looked over at Poet,"Yeah, if ya need anythin' jus' ask Poet, ya know we're all hereh fer ya,"he told her before he led Abby toward the exit of the hall,"Ya want me ta stay wit ya tonight, I'm sure Jack won't mind,"he asked her softly.
Jack looked between Poet and Irish for a moment,"Want meh to watch Duana while ya help Poet get dressed and cleaned up?"he asked Irish, he wanted to help anyway he could.
