TNS Piper Season 8 (Must Read)

Oneshot #6: Riley in labour

Hey guys, this is the last oneshot before this book ends! Thanks for reading, hope you guys enjoy!

Piper's POV:

"How about this one?" I asked Riley, holding up a tiny grey onesie, with the word 'Superstar' on it. She didn't know the gender of the baby yet because she and James wanted to be surprised.

"Nah, we've got plenty of grey outfits. What about that one, over there?" She asked as she pointed to a similar onesie but baby blue.

"Aww, that one's cute." I replied as I added it to the basket. Riley and I were doing some more shopping for the baby; she was due in a couple month or so.

"You know, I can't wait for the baby to arrive. I hope it's a girl." I said to Riley for the hundredth time, as we strolled through the countless baby aisles. "I think you're more excited for this child than me!" She replied, as we laughed and continued to shop.

"Where's James gone?" I asked when we arrived back home. "He went to go pick up the carseat." Riley replied as I nodded, and we both sat down.

"Can I please pack the baby's hospital bag?" I pleaded, giving her my best puppy dog eyes. "Sure, Pipes, but don't go over the top, with the outfits." She said whilst laughing as I giggled sheepishly, and nodded.

"I'll facetime Amy too. She wanted to come over and help but she had to go to her cousin's house." I said as Riley nodded, patting her stomach and grimacing a bit. "Are you okay?" I asked, sitting back down.

"Yeah, I'm good. My stomach just aches." She replied, as I gave her a warm hug. "Let me know if it gets worse. Okay?" I responded as she nodded again. With that, I ran up the stairs and pulled out a small red suitcase.

I facetimed Amy, who excitedly helped me pick out the outfits that we should take for the baby, as we tried our hardest to not go overboard. After a while, Amy had to go but it was alright as we had finished.

Zipping up the suitcase, I set it down next to Riley's one and nodded my head to myself in satisfaction, until I heard a scream.

"Piper!!"

Riley's POV:

I shook my head and laughed as I watched Piper dash up the stairs, in excitement.

As I was watching tv, James called to tell me how the store messed up our order and how he had to wait for them to get the right one. I just laughed and continued to rub my stomach.

As time went on, my stomach kept on aching, progressively getting worse. I got up and walked around to try and settle the pain but when I got back to the living room, I felt something in my stomach drop and an intense pain took over my lower abdomen.

It felt like a cramp but much, much worse. I screamed as I doubled over. "Piper!!" I yelled, panic taking over.

I heard her sprint down the stairs but in that moment, I was focused on taking deep breaths to try and relieve some of the pain.

"What's wrong?" She asked frantically, as I put up a finger, signalling that I needed a minute to catch my breath. After some few seconds, the pain finally dulled down into an ache.

"I don't know what happened. I was fine like a minute ago. It was really sudden." I said, standing up straight again. "Maybe it was a contraction." She suggested as I gave her a look.

"Oh, don't pretend that we didn't spend 3 weeks watching 'One born every minute' on repeat. I know all the medical terms now." She said, smiling, as I laughed, stopping when the pain began to intensify.
