It was now a few months since the incident that involved Chandler turning up at Lily's door. Since then, Lily had been visited by both Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe often to check how she was and to bring a gift for the baby. However, she had not been visited by Ross and Joey, which Lily found completely understandable, they were Chandler's best friend, it would have been weird for them, so who was to blame them? Not Lily.

Lily was a forgiving person towards many, she didn't blame them. She didn't blame Chandler for one thing which many people, such as James, often thought was strange. How could he just leave her and the baby and for she not to blame him? And every time her answer would be because sometimes people aren't ready. Chandler wasn't ready for a baby, she saw that in his eyes when he told her and in her heart, she knew if they were together during this period of her pregnancy, it wouldn't have lasted, chandler wouldn't have been able to cope, it just wouldn't have worked out for the pair. So yes, she did forgive him, but Lily knew that it did not mean that she would welcome him back with open arms, she did have some respect for herself.

But all that was to the back of Lily's mind at the moment, she had more important things to think about, such as pushing this little girl out of her, which was not the experience she was looking forward to at all.

At 9 months pregnant, Lily according to James 'waddled like a penguin' everywhere, to Lily wasn't exactly the greatest compliment, so most days resulted in Lily sitting on her sofa, eating whatever the baby craved and James making fun of how she walked.

On one particular day, Lily was in a particularly bad mood, which was unlike her, and James was not helping her mood whatsoever.

"Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day." James sang as he walked out of his room and Lily gave him a deathly stare, which made James think that she wanted to rip his eyes out.

"My lovely ginger friend, and baby may I add, what has got you in such a bad mood this morning?" He asked,

Lily gave a fake laugh. "Oh I don't know, I only have an actual human inside of me, sitting on my bladder and making me throw up everything."

James made a 'pfft' sound, "you make it sound like pregnancy is a hard thing."

Lily stood up and made a strangling gesture with her hands towards her male friend, making James run into his room, afraid of the pregnant woman. "Don't kill me, you waddling penguin!" He laughed, as Lily shouted back, "come out here and kick you where the sun don't shine, then we'll see who'll be in pain!"

Hearing James laughs in the distance, Lily rubbed her stomach, feeling a slight pain occur. It was then she also felt a rush of wetness going down her leggings, realizing her water had broke, panicking her.

"James!" She shouted to him, as he opened his door and looked at her.

"Honestly Lily, there's a toilet right there, you've pissed yourself?" He asked, as she picked up the closest thing, a pillow and threw it at him in frustration.

"I'm in labor you utter dipshit!"

It was then James fully understood what was happening and rushed to finally get her to the hospital.

"Okay, I'll get the bag, call the ambulance and everything will be alright okay? Everything will be fine, just breath." He tried to calm her, though it seemed as though he was panicking more than her as she breathed in and out.

She turned to James slowly, "please tell Mon, Rach and Phoebe, they should be able to know."

He smiled and nodded, ringing them as well, as they waited for the ambulance to arrive, so the baby could finally arrive and sit in Lily's arms.
