Everything We Wanted

-39- ✅

(Billie's POV)
"Hey uh my wife is having a baby, her name is Aleah O'Connell, she's 24-" the desk lady stopped me, telling me to relax.

"She's in room 17 dear, take a breather before you go in there." She told me sweetly. I thanked her before chuckling a bit as I speeded off to the room.

I actually took a moment to calm myself down before gently opening the door. Aleah turned her head in my direction her eyes lighting up.

I walked in and immediately went to her side, giving her forehead a kiss.

"Hey darling, how we doin?"

She rolled her eyes and sighed. "I'm only 4 centimeters so very slow."

"Ohh I'm sorry love, but I'll be here with you the the whole time."

She scrunched up her face a little, feeling a contraction coming on. I gently took her hand in mine, kissing her knuckles.

"I've had about 4 of those in the last 3 and half hours." She groaned.

Oh boy, this was about to be a trip.

It's been about 8 hours now and I can tell Aleah is getting a little frustrated. She stood hunched over the bed where's she's been for the past 20 minutes, breathing deeply through her mouth as I rubbed her lower back.

Her contractions have been getting stronger and more painful for her. Which in turn hurts me knowing there was quite literally nothing I can do to help her.

"Bil." She groaned out in pain.
"I know mama, I know it hurts. Here lay down darling."

She gently layed down rubbing her forehead.
"I swear to god I'm never doing this shit again." She spoke, her voice a bit raspy and hoarse from tiredness.

"It's alright baby, it'll all be worth it." I took her hand in mine as she sucked in a breath. "It's alright just breathe." I told her.

"Billie, honey, I love you so much but if you tell me to breathe one more time you won't be. I know I need to breathe, I get it."

I threw my hands up "Okay my bad."
She sighed deeply.

"No I'm sorry, I'm agitated. I just want him out! God I've been in stupid labor for like 10 hours."

Technically it was only 8 but I wasn't about to say anything.

"Ohhh Leo, get out buddy. Get out, get out get ouuuutt!" I took her hands and put them down by her sides.

"Darling I don't think yelling at him is gonna work. Here let me talk to him."

She lightly scooted over as my hands went to her stomach. "Hey there Leo, look buddy I love you but imma need you to go ahead and come out of mommy. Cause frankly I'm a little scared. And you're hurting her bubbie. I know you don't mean to so come on and come out. We wanna meet you bud."

My phone started ringing as finneas called me.
"I'll be right back mama."

"No don't leave me baby."

"I'll be right outside I promise." I kissed her forehead as she pouted. Walking right outside the room.

"Hey Finn."

"Hey Bils, so this is it isn't it? How's it going?"

"Yeah man, she's like I don't know 7 or 8 centimeters dialated. She's pretty frustrated honestly, it's a little scary."

He laughed a bit, as did I.

"Okay well we're all here in the waiting room, good luck and call me back when we can come and see the baby."
