My Italian Roommate.

congratulations

*Nine months later*

     "Alright Ember, im going to need you to take a deep breath in and push" The Doctor said as he settled between my legs. Sweat covered my skin as pain rippled through me, each contraction I had hitting me hard. I threw my head back and screamed, tears lining my eyes. Sabrina held my hand reassuringly as she guided me through this. I was thankful that she had been around when my water broke, I don't think I could have been able to do this myself.

    "You've got this Ember, it'll be over quickly" Sabrina reassured. I squeezed her hand as another contraction hit, pushing harder then I ever had.

    "I see the head" the doctor exclaimed "just a few more pushes"

     "Deep breaths, relax" Sabrina said. Nodding through my confused state I took another deep breath in and pushed, another scream tearing through my throat as I felt myself ripping apart. It hurt so badly. Panting, I pushed even harder until eventually I heard the sound of a babies cries as my body seemed to relax some. My- now and new- white dyed hair clung to my skin as I leaned back, the nurses and doctors all running around. Looking down I watched as the doctor cut the umbilical cord before one of the nurses picked the baby up and went over to the cleaning station, the baby crying as loud as their little lungs could. I smiled happily as I left go of Sabrina's hands.

    "Congratulations, you had a boy" The doctor said as he smiled up at me, a gleam in his eye "What is his name?"

    "Elijah James Kenway" I answered instantly, the name slipping from my lips. The doctor only nodded as he walked off to no doubt fill out the paperwork leaving the nurses to help me with the after birth. Glancing up I had seen Sabrina standing next to me happily. A strong urge to hold my baby took over me as I had seen they were still cleaning him off and weighing him.

    "You did good Ember, you did real good" Sabrina said "you should be proud" I nodded.

     "Thank you, for being here with me. I wouldn't have been able to do this alone" I said. She only smiled.

     "Thats what I'm here for"

      "Can I call Edward? I know we already spoke but this is special" I asked. She nodded as she pulled out her phone and began to dial his number.

     "Of course, this is a special occasion after all" Sabrina said. I grinned just as she placed the phone to her ear and the nurse came up to me, Elijah in her hands, as he had been bundled up in a blanket. Tears of happiness streamed down my face as I sat up and she handed me Elijah. Instantly I pulled him close to my chest as he instantly stopped crying, leaning into my touch. My son, he had been so cute and perfect, his cheeks round and a bit chubby. I admit he had some of his father's looks but from what I could tell he mostly had mine. Looking at him now I could tell he was the best thing to ever happen to me and I knew that he was going to be the center of my world. Oh, my son. My heart swooned at the sight of him. I was in love.

    "Congratulations Edward, you're an uncle now" I heard Sabrina say, followed by a loud shout coming from the other end of the phone. Oh Edward. I couldn't help but laugh "yea, well it kinda just happened. You can't time child birth.... Yes, I'll put her on"

    "Hey" I said as Sabrina came over to me and put the phone on speaker.

     "You sound tired lass" Edward said though I could hear the relief in his voice. I chuckled.

     "Thats what happens when you push a child out" I replied sarcastically, Edward instantly laughing as I did. Gods it was good to hear his laugher again, I hadn't heard once since all of this happened.
