I lay in my bed. I was due to have my baby in 3 weeks. My fiancé Vic was on tour but he would be back in time for the baby to be born. He hadn’t called me today but I knew today was a massive show for him so I didn’t see it as a big deal.
I lay in bed, The baby kicked me really hard “Oh calm down little one not long now” I laughed until it kicked again but harder. This time it hurt. I cried in pain. I looked down to see my water had broke. “Shit” I got up and walked over to my phone. “Come on Vic pick up pick up the fucking phone” He didn’t, I let out a scream in pain. I fell on the floor and started crying.
My friend Charlotte lived opposite me so I gave her a call.
“Charlotte hey”
“Sup lass shouldn’t you be in bed resting?”
“I would but I have a massive problem”
“Vic is playing a show tonight that’s why he hasn’t called you”
“No no I know but Charlotte I think the baby is coming”
She hung up and with in two minutes she was in my bedroom with me telling me to breath and stay calm. “Have you called Vic?” I nodded and looked up “Yes but he isn’t answering” Charlotte sighed and called an ambulance
They arrived and took me to the hospital with Charlotte. “Do you need us to call anyone?” I nodded and lipped Vic to Charlotte. She wrote his number down “It’s her fiancé if he doesn’t answer don’t worry about it” She smiled and the lady walked out. She returned 5 minutes later to let us know she had no luck in getting in contact with Vic.
7 hours later and I still hadn’t had the baby. “I’ll try ringing Vic” Charlotte left the room and came in shaking her head. I cried. Not because she couldn’t get a hold of Vic. Yes it upset me but mainly the fact he wasn’t here with me like we wanted him to be.
18 hours later and I was 10 cm dilated. Me and Charlotte had no idea what the fuck this meant but Charlotte said “Judging by me looking your lets say hole is pretty fucking big therefore the baby will be born soon I guess”
34 hours later and I had mine and Vic’s baby. It was a girl. He would be so happy. He wanted a girl. “What are you going to call her?” The nursed handed her to me. “I’m not too sure. My fiancé isn’t here yet so I haven’t thought of name we didn’t even know the gender of the baby”
Charlotte took the baby home with me. Her boyfriend helped finish building the babies crib.
I tried ringing Vic again but I couldn’t get through to him. I was beginning to get really worried.
*Vic’s P.O.V.*
I got back home from my tour. “Alicia I’ve missed you so much” She shused me. “I missed you too but shh” I looked confused at her. I sat down and gave her a quick kiss on the lips then looked to her to explain why I need to be quite. She pointed upstaits. “What?” She put her head in her hands. “Good news and bad news. I tried to call you but you haven’t been answering last Tuesday I went into labour. I had the baby and I’ve tried to call you I promise Vic” I put me head in my hands. I didn’t look up. “Vic at least say something. Vic?” Alicia kneeled in front of me and put my head in her hands. “Vic don’t worry about it, You’re here now” I tried to smile. From upstairs there was crying “What’s that?” Alicia stood up and put her hand out. “It’s our baby”
She took me up to the room. I looked down. “It’s a girl?” Alicia nodded. I wiped away tears. “Fathers are meant to be there for their daughters from day one. Here is me joining at six days into her life” Alicia lifted my head up and kissed me “It doesn’t make you a bad father Vic. You couldn’t help it” She kissed me again. I looked down at my baby girl. I smiled at her. “What did you call her?” Alicia picked her up and placed her in my arms “I haven’t I wanted us to decide together” I looked down at my baby girl and smiled. Then I looked up at Alicia. “What about Hope? Because I hope I get to be a good father” Alicia nodded and smiled at me. “Hope it is”
