The pain in my lower abdomen woke me up with a hiss. I laid there and let it pass. I groaned and grabbed my phone once it ended, seeing it was 3 am.

Ashton was still asleep next to me, now curled up in my side with his arm over my middle. His face was nuzzled into my neck. I was shocked he was even still asleep. He's such a light sleeper. He used to make up if I barely moved.

Another wave of pain hit a little later and I had a feeling I knew what was going on. I was having contractions.

Once it passed, I shook Ashton, causing him to sit up fast,

"What's wrong?" he panicked,

"I think I'm having contractions," I told him as he turned the lamp on,

"Really?" he beamed. I nodded and sat up a little,

"Do I need to call the hospital now?"

"Just give it a little bit bubs. We don't need to rush in"

He nodded and climbed out of bed and over to the dresser. He grabbed a pair of shorts and pulled them over his boxers then grabbed a hoodie and put it on,

"Are you wanting to change?" he asked, leaning down with his hands on the bed and pecking my lips,

"Well yeah" I rolled my eyes, "I'm not going in just my underwear and bra"

He laughed. I've been having horrible hot flashes lately so I've just been going to bed almost naked,

"Do you know what you want to wear or do you just want me to pick?"

He pushed some of my hair back,

"Just get me a pair of shorts and one of your t-shirts. Oh! And can you get me a ponytail holder"

He nodded and went and grabbed it before coming back. He had me turn and he pulled my hair up into a bun. The man has practiced hairstyles on my hair since he found out we were having a girl. He wants to be the dad who can do their daughter's hair.

"I'm gonna wait to change until we're about to leave," I told him. He nodded,

"Okay. I'm going to go get the stuff in the car"

Ashton left and went and put our stuff in the car. He was also calling the hospital to tell them we were coming.

Just as Ashton walked back into our room, a contraction hit, and I shut my eyes as it happened. Once it passed, I opened my eyes to find Ashton sitting on the edge of the bed,

"You okay baby?" He leaned down and pecked my lips. I just nodded,

"You ready to go? I've got everything in the Jeep. It will be easier than the truck to get in and out of"

I nodded and he helped me up, change, and to the car. Once I was in, he ran around and got in the driver's seat,

"Alright baby, let's go have these babies"

We got to the hospital and they took us to a room. They got me hooked to an IV and went over the rules of how we have to wear masks at all times,

"Okay, and it looks like you're about 7 cm dilated. We will come back and check in a few"

The doctor left and I moved for Ashton to lay with me,

"I am not looking forward to giving birth with the fucking mask on" I groaned,

"I know baby. I'm sorry" he sighed and kissed my head,
