ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 100

It's around nine o'clock now. The nurse hasn't arrived yet, but i'm a little terrified.

I know millions and millions of women have done this before, but being young and unprepared makes this a lot more frightening.

Liquid continued to come out of me for about five minutes after my water broke. But ever since then, i've been laying in bed and waiting for something to happen.

I've felt pretty normal, other than the initial shock I had.

Draco is laying next to me, asking how i'm feeling every few minutes. He's rubbing lotion on my belly. He said "Maybe it'll help her come out".

Narcissa walks into the room, bringing Clarice in with her.

I'm guessing she'll be my nurse. I'm glad it's her, because when she checked up on me she was a very sweet woman.

I feel a full ache in my lower stomach and back. My eyebrows furrow and I whine.

Draco immediately takes his hands off of me, thinking he did something wrong.

"Yep, that's a contraction." Clarice says.

It lasts for about a minute, and I sit there holding my stomach in pain.

"I'm going to set up some things." Clarice says leaving the room, "If you need anything just holler for me."

___________________________________

Another hour has gone by, full of contractions. Clarice told me to let her know when they're five minutes apart.

I'm standing up, but bent over face down on the bed. Draco stands behind me rubbing my back while I try and breathe through each contraction. I moan into the comforter with each ache of pain.

Another one flows through my body. This one more painful than the last.

I had taken off my shirt and changed into a bralette about half and hour ago, because I was getting hot. I kept on my sweatpants though.

Draco leans forwards and kisses the exposed skin of my shoulder, and then my back, leading all the way to the other shoulder.

I moan again and he pulls my hair back and ties it up into a messy bun with a hair tie from my wrist.

He takes my hand in his, "You're doing great baby."

I squeeze it to get through the pain.

By the time my contraction is over I pick my head up from the bed and I feel dizzy.

I can tell i'm sweating, I know I look like a hot mess right now.

But Draco still takes my face in his hands and kisses me like i'm the most precious thing in the world to him.

"I'm so proud of you." he says.

What happens next is something I can't quite help. My eyes water and I start to cry, "It's already really hard."

He presses a long kiss to my forehead, "I know. But you're the strongest woman i've ever met and I promise you can do it."

He wipes the tears from my cheeks with his thumbs, "You can do it okay? And you're going to be an amazing mother."

"You think so?" I ask.

"I know so. You've got this." he says, running his hands down my arms, and then stopping at my hands to hold them.

He laughs, "I hope this baby has your skin. It's so smooth."

I shake my head, "It's because of the pregnancy. I still have my glow for now."

Then he shakes his head, "No, it's not. Trust me, i've touched this skin a million times." he smirks, "And every inch of it too."

"I've felt every inch of yours. Your skin is just as smooth as mine." I say.

Draco smiles, "She's in luck."

He kneels down to my belly, and gives it a soft poke, "Hey, listen up. Stop hurting the love of my life! You're my birthday present, and i'm getting quite impatient at this point. So, I would suggest hurrying this up. It'll make things easier for all of us."

His wordplay makes me giggle.

I feel her kick.

"You trying to fight me or something?" Draco asks, "I think you're forgetting I was the one that created you in the first place."

He stands back up, "That'll talk some sense into her."

I laugh again, "I love you so much."

"Oh I know." he says, raising his eyebrows.

I push him in the chest, "Say it back."

"You know I love you." he says.

I pull him down to my lips and he kisses me again.

"How many kids do you want me to give you?" he asks.

I answer immediately, "Three. And I want all of them to look like my handsome husband."

He smiles so big and it's cute, "Husband."

"I'll be seventeen soon." I say, reminding him.

He smiles at the ground, "I can't wait to kneel down and ask you that question. I think about it all the time."

Just as i'm thinking about how sweet he is, I start to feel another contraction and I bend over onto the bed again.

I hold his hand and try to breathe through it for the full minute that is lasts.

I need medicine, but i'm doing this all naturally. I hate needles and an epidural freaks me out. I'm trying my best to not make noise, but it's hard to contain myself in this situation.

Once this contraction is over, Draco hands me a glass of water and I take a long sip of it.

The contractions continue, and this little routine we've created follows them.

Draco presses kisses to my shoulder through it all and it's one of the things that keeps me calm.

Another two hours pass, and i'm laying down now. I'm not wearing any pants, and i'm left in only my bralette.

There's layers of towels beneath me, and surrounding me around the whole bed. I have to lay in the middle of it with pillows propping me up with my legs spread open at the foot of the bed.

I can't even see what I look like down there, but I feel a little embarrassed. Part of me doesn't want Draco seeing, but he's seen every part of my body there is to see, so I can't be too ashamed.

Clarice comes in every now and then to check on me and see how much i'm dilated.

I'm only dilated about four centimeters. This process is taking way longer than I thought.
