Chapter 63 - Daisy

Getting to the hospital wasn't easy. The Friday morning traffic made the journey much longer than usual, and Allison wasn't exactly in the mood to hang around. 

"Can't you go any faster?" Allison cried as the car came to a halt once more.

"I'm trying my best to get there as fast as I can, I can't just take over all this traffic." Holly sighed. She hadn't planned on not being able to get the hospital quickly, and now she was stuck in traffic with no way out. 

"I can take the next road up there on the right and go through the housing estate which could get us there a little quicker if there's no traffic." She spoke again as the traffic began moving. 

It was about another 15 minutes before they arrived at the hospital and Allison's contractions were already coming more and more often. They pulled up outside of the Arrivals and were greeted by one of the paramedics that were outside. 

"My girlfriend is in labour, she needs to get into the hospital right away." Holly spoke quickly, tripping over her words. She opened the passenger side door and helped Allison out who was then helped into the hospital by the paramedic. 

"I'll park the car and then I'll come straight in, I promise!"

After parking the car, Holly ran as fast as she could to the hospital entrance. She reached the front desk and asked where Allison had been taken to. Once she had been given the instructions, she made her way to the Maternity ward where she was told she would find the Delivery suite. 

Another nurse gave her more instructions when she got to the maternity ward and she was guided into the room where Allison was going to give birth. There were 2 doctors, one on either side of the bed that Allison was laid on. One was male, the other female.

"It seems that you're already 9cm dilated which means that it won't be long until you can start pushing. Try to fight off any urge to push until you're fully dilated because you run the risk of tearing and doing damage that can easily be avoided."

"How long will it be...until I can begin pushing?" Allison panted, speaking between breaths.

"Well you told us that your water only broke a little over an hour ago, which means that your labour seems to be progressing quite quickly as you are already 9cm dilated. With any luck you should be able to begin pushing within the next half hour or so. I'll come back and check on you every 15 minutes and when the time is right, you'll be able to start pushing."

The doctors left the room and Holly held onto Allison's hand tight. 

"How you feeling?"

"Like I'm about to push a baby out of my vagina." Allison said sarcastically, breathing heavily.

Holly laughed. "I hope our baby isn't as sarcastic as you. Between you and the baby, I won't stand a chance."

"Oh please, I only picked up sarcasm from you."

"And you're pretty bloody good at it too."

6 doctors visits later and there was still no sign of the baby. Allison's labour had progressed quickly at the start, but it now seemed that everything had slowed down. The clock on the wall read '2:15pm', which meant that she'd now been in labour for 3 1/2 hours. Holly stood by her side, pressing a cold flannel to Allison's forehead to make sure that she didn't get too warm. 

After another 2 1/2 hours at 4:45pm, it was time for Allison to begin pushing. Her cervix was fully dilated and the doctors had told her to push whenever she felt a contraction coming. Holly hated hearing and seeing Allison in pain, but she knew that once it was over, it would all be forgotten about. 

"You're doing great Allison, we can see your babies head and it won't be long until all of this is over. Now I need you to stop pushing for a minute or so and take a couple of quick, short breaths so that your babies head can be born slowly."

Allison gripped Holly's hand tightly as she fought the urge to push as another contraction came. The nurse had asked if she'd wanted to see the babies head, but she refused to leave Allison's side. 

"I'm pleased to tell you that most of the hard work is over and with a couple of more pushes, you'll have your baby in your arms. Remember what I told you, take a deep breath when you feel a contraction and push through it."

With another couple of pushes, the labour was over and the sound of crying filled the room. Their baby was lifted straight up into Allison's arms and it all seemed to happen within the blink of an eye. 

"Congratulations to both of you, you have a little baby girl."

Completely in awe, Holly watched the little squirming bundle on Allison's chest as she sighed heavily and laid her head on their daughters.

Once the cord was cut, the baby was taken away to be cleaned up and weighed. Holly took Allison's hands in her own once more and brought them up to her mouth. She kissed them gently and a single tear rolled down her cheek, setting upon her knuckle.

Allison smiled. 

"We have a daughter." 

Allison nodded. "We have a daughter."

After she was cleaned up, the baby was placed back in Allison's arms and Holly stroked her head lightly.

"I'm afraid to touch her, I don't want to break her."

"You won't hurt her, go ahead." Allison lifted up her arms slowly, motioning Holly to take the baby from her. She'd held babies before, but this time it felt different. She was holding her own flesh and blood in her arms, and she felt an overwhelming urge to protect her.

"Daisy." 

Holly looked up at Allison who was smiling at the both of them. 

"Daisy. What do you think?"

Holly looked back at the little baby in her arms. She thought for a second. "What do you think? Do you like the name?" She laughed.

"Daisy it is."
