Regrets of Yesterday

Special Chapter Five

Sammy's POV

We arrived at the hospital in like fifteen minutes. Thank heavens, we didn't have to go through the crazy traffic because I don't want to give birth inside our car. As soon as we arrived, three nurses are already waiting for us at the front gate. They immediately helped me out from the car and put me on the wheelchair. I keep holding on my belly, feeling our baby who still shifting inside me as we are waiting for Allen while he is checking us in and filling some basic information about me. I can tell how nervous my husband is now. His hands are shaking.

"Don't be too nervous, Mr. Monteclaro. Your wife is doing well." one of the nurse said to calm him down a bit.

As soon as Allen finishes with the papers, they immediately took us to a private room where I will stay while I am in labor. Allen and the nurses help me out to get off the wheelchair and lay me down on the bed.

We are waiting silently when I suddenly felt a wave of contraction again. I groaned and gripped the pillow beside me tightly.

Allen then puts his hands around my belly and tried to talk to our baby. He is saying the sweetest words he knows until we heard his aunt, which is my ob-gyn, spoke.

"So our grandson decided to come out today. How are you feeling, Sam?"

"I just felt a longer contraction before you came in." I answered as I sighed in relief when the pain subsides again.

"Are you monitoring how frequent the contractions are?"

"Yes, fifteen minutes in interval." Allen answered.

"Already? He must be eager now since he's overdue inside. Let's check how your son is doing." she said as she help me lay down completely.

Laying down is the worst for me now. I hardly find my gravitation with a very big belly I have now. I feel a little strange when my ob touch the side of my belly, poking and pushing them to feel my baby inside. I bit my lip hard every time she puts a pressure on my belly. I grab my husband's hand because I feel more and more uncomfortable with this examination.

"Well, I could tell that the head is near the birth canal but his feet are too stretch so I will try to move them to the right position." she informed us.

"Is it really okay, doc?" I asked worriedly.

"It will hurt a little bit but it's fine. It is needed."

I closes my eyes forcefully and tightens my grasp on my husband's hand because of the pain I am feeling now. It hurts like hell! I can't imagine how it would be when it is really time for me to give birth. My amniotic sac is still intact so I have to wait for some time and endure this pain a little more.

"The nurse will be here soon to give you the gown, and I will come back after I made a round to check how dilated you are." she said before she leave us.
