In the dead of night, Mia clung desperately to Andre's shirt, refusing to let him leave her side. She lay on the hospital gurney, her knuckles white with fear. "Honey, I'm so scared. I can't do this," she whimpered. Andre held her hand, running alongside the doctors as they wheeled her to the delivery room. "It's okay, sweetheart. I'm right here with you," he reassured her, his fingers wrapped around her icy-cold hand. As the nurse prepared to wheel Mia into the delivery room, Mia kept clutching Andre's shirt. "Andre, please come with me."

"Of course, let me change into scrubs," he assured her.

The nurse bent down next to Mia to comfort her, trying to coax her into releasing Andre's shirt. "Mrs. Cedillo, if you keep holding onto Andre, he can't change. Let go, dear," the nurse said gently.

Tears welled up in Mia's eyes, and she began to sob. She had always known that she would cry on the day she gave birth. "Mia, Mia," Molly rushed into the hospital, still in her pajamas and with her hair a mess. Hearing that her sister was about to give birth, she had practically run out of her house, her shoes barely staying on her feet. She reached Mia's side and grabbed her hand.

"It's okay, really. Don't be scared," Molly stuttered. Chad followed close behind, also in his pajamas. That night, they had stayed in the hospital to be with Coleen.

As Molly tried to reassure Mia, she herself was so nervous she hardly knew what to do. "I'll go in with her," Molly announced to the doctor.

"Only one person can go in, Ms. Cedillo. You should stay out here and inform the family. Andre, you should go in. Mrs. Cedillo needs you," the doctor said.

Andre nodded, comforted his sister Molly, and then pushed the gurney into the delivery room with Mia. Molly anxiously chewed on her knuckles. Seeing this, Chad quickly pulled her hand away from her mouth. "Call the family." "Chad, I forgot my phone."

Chad handed his phone to Molly. She only remembered her dad and Leo's numbers. As she dialed Leo's number, she suddenly realized that Chad also had Leo's number stored in his contacts. She had completely forgotten. "Hello, Leo, get to the hospital quickly. Mia's giving birth."

Hearing the news, Leo bolted from his room, phone in hand, and started knocking on doors. "Mom, Dad, get to the hospital. Anya, wake up. Grandma, Grandpa, we have to go to the hospital. My aunt is having a baby."

On the way, Hansen called the in-laws, the Irvin family. They were still awake when they received the call and immediately set out for the hospital. In less than half an hour, everyone had gathered at the hospital.
