When Brie was about 8 cm and fully effaced, Tiffany had David and Mike help move Brie to the bathroom for the delivery. David, still wearing the basketball shorts he slept in, got in the tub with her. He didn't want to lose contact with her and wanted to do more than hold her hand while she gave his child life.
She was finally ready to push. She was completely dilated and effaced. She was to the point where she needed to push. Tiffany got into the tub to deliver the baby. Tina and Kristen held her feet. "Ok, Brie, when the next contraction hits, I want you to push with everything you've got."
The contraction came and Brie pushed. Tina and Kristen counted to ten while she pushed. After the ten count, she had enough time to catch a breath, then she was pushing again. Another breath, and another ten count of pushing. "I'm seeing a head, Brie. A couple more really good pushes and you'll have a baby. Push for me, Brie", Tiffany said.
Brie pushed again with everything she had. "We have a head full of brown curls. Who'd the baby get those from?" Tiffany asked with a laugh.
"Both of us", David said, his voice full of joy.
"One more should do it, Brie, push those shoulders out", Tiffany said. Brie pushed with a scream that was primal and damn near rage filled. Out came the shoulders and the rest of the baby. "David, Brie, you have a healthy baby girl. Congratulations", Tiffany said as she wrapped the baby in a warm towel and handed her to Brie.
Tears filled Brie's eyes. "Look, David, we have a baby girl."
He smiled. "Yes, we do. Little Jordan Hannah."
