Chapter 47

Esme's POV

About 76 days later

"Don't tell me to calm down Luciano, I've been having contractions since yesterday. You don't understand the pain I feel, you're not the one in labour" I said to my mate angrily as my mate stared at me in frustration. We were currently in the infirmary waiting for my God damn contractions to stop. "why is it taking this long, Enola?" I asked my wolf but she was short on words as she was also in labour.

"Sweetheart please, you just need to take it easy. C'mon, let's go for another walk while I rub your back" Lulu said and I wasted no time by taking his hand. Alley was at home resting as she was about to enter her final month, she hit 99 days today 'I guess'. But fortunately (unfortunately) for me I'm about to birth an alpha so yeah, let's do this

Lulu and I have taken walks around the infirmary like 20 times now and I could safely say I could draw a fucking map already. My back feels heavy and Lulu looks frustrated with all the episodes, he looks tired. My water broke very late yesterday but good news is I don't have a complicated pregnancy. My insides started to hurt like a claw was being used to screech my body together. "Uuggghhhhh, Luciano I need to sit down, let's go back".

I sat on my bed and rested my back on the pillow as the doctor instructed me to. "Okay Luna, I'm going to need you to raise your legs and place them on the bed" she said, and I obeyed like a puppy learning new tricks. "Great, now could you help me spread your legs apart, I need to check your cervical dilation" I did as I was told with the strength I managed to gather. "Now this might sting" she warned, next thing I new she slid her right fist inside my vagina and tried sliding the left one I but it couldn't completely go in. Luciano's face was white and all mush at the moment. "How intense are the contractions?" She asked after pulling out her hand.

"Very intense Doc, I'm feeling nauseated, my legs are cramping and it's like every 30 minutes or so my contractions become stronger"  I answered without wasting any time. "That's expected,  you're 8cm dilated, so we could say you're doing great" then she turned to Luciano. "Alpha, I'm sending something for her, make sure she eats it, she's expected to be hungry" she said, and boy was she right, I was actually hungry but the pain made me forget all about that. "Sure Doc, whatever you say" with that she left and my mate sat close to me and held my hands close to his face before eventually kissing it. "I won't deny the fact that I'm worried about you, and that it's frustrating seeing you in so much pain but I can't seem to understand or share. This is just way different from when you had your first shift, and I'm sorry I can't do much".

I took his hand and kissed it, "You're already doing what you can, and I appreciate i... Uuggghhhhh" I yelled as I felt the contractions become stronger yet again. "Ohhh boy, this is going to be one hell of a ride" I'm just glad no one is allowed to see me

Almost 3 hours later

"Uuggghhhhh, ahhhhhh, hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo..." I yelled as I continued my breathing routine, dumping the chips on the ground. The Doc came in and said she wanted to check my cervical dilation, so I asked Luciano for help. She repeated the same process from earlier but this time around both her fists could fit in and even move freely. "You're finally 10cm dilated, the rest is up to you, Luna. I just need to wait for you to say when you're ready and you feel you need to push"

"How would she know that, Doc?" My mate asked and I nodded, I was about to ask the same thing. "She'll know when it's time. But first, we need to move her to the delivery room" with that two male nurses came in and placed me on a stretcher and wheeled me out, Luciano came quickly after me. We were still on our way to the delivery room when I felt something within me, it came with a very strong contraction, it felt like something wanted out, by all means possible. I felt like I needed to let it out, to set it free, like I needed to push.
