The Love of a Daughter

No name

Carol POV
The hospital

Im so exhausted. I've been in labor for hours. It's Onika's birthday in a few hours and she's determined that he'll come on her birthday. By the way things are looking he just might.

"Mommy are you ok? You're too quiet and you kind of look dead. Say something." Onika walked up to me. For some reason she's been panicky. I've been wanting to tell her go home and rest but that'll upset her.

"I am ok Onika. Stop worrying. You're not the one sitting in a bed with your cooch busted open. Sit." I know a little harsh but gosh she's been bugging me. She means well but I'm in pain and don't want to talk. Or move.

Jay and Beyonce left to go get a baby bag together. Money left once we got here; his mom called. She's the sweetest lady ever. Onika's the only one who hasn't left my side. Aside from John. He's going crazy. Everytime I have a contraction he calls a nurse. I can't blame him, this is his second child. The first one was born in his absence. So, he doesn't have any experience.

"Well excuse me. John get your baby momma." Was all I heard until she started mumbling. Always talking shit.

"Onika I will put you out this room if you don't shut up. For real." I told her. She went to sit down with an attitude. I'm so grateful this is a boy. I can't do it no more lord.

I started to feel pressure on my area and immediately screamed. This baby got a big ass head.

"Ok baby ok. Um ok. Hold my hand. Or don't ahhhhh." John reacted as I started to squeeze his hand. I'm not letting it go.

Omniscient POV

Two nurses prepared to deliver the baby while John was trying to comfort Carol. She was consistently screaming and crying. This had to be the worst birth yet. Carol thought Onika was hard, baby boy was huge.

"Ok. On three give us one big push and baby boy will be right out. One.......Two.....Three." Carol started to push with everything in her. As she was pushing she didn't think twice about stopping for a breath.

"Hes here. Baby look we did it." John whispered to Carol. Which cause her to scrunch up her face at him.

"John you didn't do anything. Shush. Go down there and cut the thing I'm so tired and out of breath." Carol started to drift off to sleep.

The nurses started to work on baby boy and give him a bath. John wasn't too fond of them taking him out of the room but had no choice but to cooperate. While everyone was chill, Onika was still shocked by what she had previously witnessed.

Onika POV

I'm never having children. If that's what I'm gonna look like afterwards, I'd rather not. That's horrible. The way that I wasn't even supposed to be in the room. I hid in the corner because I wanted to see the process, but I wish I would've left.

The nurses returned with the baby and laid him in his little bed. One of the ladies asked about a name and John made eye contact with me. I don't know why he looked at me like I was supposed to know.

"So what's his name? Don't tell me he doesn't have a name. Y'all had 9 months to think of this." I chuckled. He was really just looking at me all shocked and shit.

"We've never just talked about it. I don't know. Let's think of something before she wakes up?" He seemed nervous. As he should be. But since he asked, I'm gonna try and think of names close to mine.

I looked at the time and saw that it was 3am December 8. Hold up.

"Ms Nurse! What time was it when he was born?" I ran out the room towards the nurse. I hope it's what I think it is.
