Colby and I are over at the KRAC house celebrating Kevin's birthday. I'm now 8 months nearly 9 months pregnant now and struggling to even move around on my own. "Talia do you want a drink?" Cassie asks "Yeah I'll just have a water please" I say as Colby helps me sit down after going to the toilet for what feels like the 50th time in the last hour. I look down at my bump "I want you out" I say making the others laugh "Soon baby, soon" Colby sits next to me taking my hand in his "I'm just fed up, I've been having Braxton hicks for the last 2 weeks I just want this baby out so I can actually feel comfortable" "Here you go" Cassie brings over a bottle for me "Thank you" I take the water and open the bottle taking a sip right after "Colby do you want a drink?" Reggie asks handing out alcohol to everyone "Nothing alcoholic" Reggie nods walking off "I still can't believe you've given up alcohol for Talia. Relationship goals or what?" Xepher says smiling "He's only given it up because he's scared I'll go into labour and we can't get to the hospital. He had me pack my hospital bag when I was 6 months pregnant and it's stayed in the car since" I laugh making myself need a wee again. I groan putting my water down "help me up would you" I nudge Colby "Again? Seriously?" Colby sighs getting up then pulling me up. Suddenly I feel a slight pop then some pressure "Errrm baby did you just pee yourself?" I shake my head no "oh shit, are you? have your? oh god. What do I do? are you in pain?" Colby rambles "Amor I need you to calm the fuck down ok" Colby nods his head a little "You can borrow some of my joggers" Kevin runs off to his room then brings back an oversized shirt and some joggers "Not sure they will fit, I'm huge but I'll see" I take them off Kevin and with the help of Colby go to the bathroom and change. As long as I wear the joggers under my bump they fit and the shirt is just a bit snug, I'm lucky my bump isn't humongous like some people's but it's still fairly big. By now I've started to feel my contractions start "Baby just breath through them, like the midwife said" Colby takes my hand and walks me to the living room "we're going to head off to the hospital, I'll keep you updated" everyone wishes us well as we head out the door.
Once in the hospital and in my room I'm checked over and turns out I'm progressing quickly, already 6cm dilated. I'm also on gas and air but I've asked for the epidural "How are you doing baby?" I glare at Colby "How do you think I'm doing with a human trying to push it's way out of me" I snap back "Ok so I'll take that as Colby shut the fuck up" "No I'm sorry, I'm just cranky. I'm in pain and I'm tired" "It's ok" Colby kisses my forehead just as another construction hits. Finally a doctor comes in with the epidural "Oh thank god" I sigh. The doctor chuckles "Ok I'm going to need you to stand up for me so I can numb the area before putting in the needle" Colby helps me up off the bed and holds on to me as the doctor works her magic. I feel a slight sting, as if a bee has just stung me "Holy shit babe that's huge" Colby says referring to the needle. Normally I would have made a bad sex joke but I'm in so much pain I can't.
After 15 minutes the epidural had started to take effect, letting me sleep for a while until I was ready to have my baby. After a short 10 hour labour and 34 minutes of pushing I finally give birth. Colby and I worriedly wait to hear the oh so important cry meaning our baby was ok, I feel a squeeze on my hand. I look down expecting to see Colbys hand but his hands were wiping away his tears. Just a few seconds later he or she cries wish is currently music to my ears "Congratulations Mr Brock and Miss Martinez you have given birth to a baby girl. Dad would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" "Errr yeah" Colby nervously says as my baby girl was placed on my chest. I start to cry tears of joy, Colby walks over to take in her features "We're going going to go and wash up and run tests to make sure everything is ok, but by those lungs on her I can tell you she's probably very healthy" the doctor takes her away to clean her up "Well done baby" "We're parents" "I know. Your mamá and abuela would be so proud of you" "Wanna know something weird?" "Hmm" Colby hums telling me to continue "I felt someone squeeze my hand when we were waiting for her to cry, I think it was them" "I told you they would be with you throughout everything" Colby bends down and kisses my forehead "I love you baby" "I love you to amor"
I ended up staying the night in the hospital but in the morning I was discharged with a healthy baby girl in my arms. We made our way back to the house to see it all decorated in pink congratulations banners and balloons. Everyone held our baby cooing over how cute she was. Now is the real test, tonight would be our first night alone.
