Dalton frowns. Watching the love of your life roll around in pain screaming down your ear wasn't a very pleasant experience for him. Okay he knew it wasn't going to be all sunshine and happy but you never really know what its going to be like till your in it.
Ariana looked at Dalton and extended her arm out for him. He noticed and grasped her hand thinking she had another contraction coming. What she had done every time, grabbed his hand to squeeze but instead she just held it.
"did you go to all the baby classes" Lucy asks Dalton "Yeah. Had to be prepared for him. Also had to be ready for this" He smiles "you found a good one" she smiled to Ariana. "I did" she nodded.
"okay lets check you see how far you have come along" She smiles. Dalton let go of Ariana's hand and grabbed a damp towel for her forehead. "6cm" She smiled. "that sounds bad" Dalton frowns.
"She is going very slow. But she is moving along" Ariana cries at the word slow. Nothing about this was nice for her. She wanted the pain to be over.
"its been hours" Ariana whines "I know angel I know" he kisses her lips. "just about waiting." he squeezes her hand lightly. "cuddle me" she whined. He happily climbed on the bed cuddling her. He looked down at her with her eyes closed. He frowns kissing her head. She was getting tired.
"you can sleep after okay" he kisses her head "no i cannot i a mommy" she pouts looking up at him. "and daddy here says mommy can have a rest because she is so brave and i am super proud of her"
he smiles
"keep doing that" she beams. He smiles rubbing her lower back. "anything for my angel"

"okay Ariana we have some good news you are ready to push" Lucy smiles at them both. Ariana looked up at Dalton and he gave her a kiss "you have this" he nodded taking her hand.
(not writing full detail)
"nearly there okay" He praises her as she screamed as she pushes for the thousands time. "head out" Lucy exclaimed and Dalton looked before quickly looking back at Ariana. "come on beautiful you can do it" he smiles. Seeing an actual baby be visible from her made him feel quite sick for her. He would never be able to describe that pain or what she was going through right now.
Ariana pushed once more and Dalton looked away from what was going on down there he couldn't watch. After a few more pushes a very sticky baby was brought to Ariana's chest screaming.
Ariana sobs holding her baby boy for the first time. "do you need some water" Dalton nodded sitting down.

Dalton smiled sat in the room alone while Ariana was getting stitches after a little tear. Holding his little boy. All clean and dressed in a sleep suit and hat tucked in his arms.
As much as he hated seeing what he saw and how scared he made Ariana and him feel it was all worth it to see their som healthy and here. Ariana was wheeled back in and Dalton smiles. She looked up at him. He placed their som down giving her the biggest kiss ever. "i am so proud of you baby" he smiles "i love you" "i love you too"
