Love, Life And The Band

54. a true miracle

A month later.

Julie's pov.
I wake up in the middle of the night because babygirls moving so much. I try to find a better position to sleep in.
"You okay?" I hear Luke's sleepy voice.
"She's moving like a champ" I say and he puts his hand on the belly.
I turn on the nightstand light and we can see her move from outside.
"Wow baby!" Luke says.
"Okay now I have to pee" I say and get up right as I got up I feel the baby move down.
"Oh" I say.
"What?"
"I felt her drop down a little" I explain.
"Really? Is that bad?" Luke asks and looks worried.
"No, it means she's getting ready to come out here soon" I say and smile at Luke.
"Today?"
"I don't know" I say and waddle to the bathroom. I come back and lay down in bed.
"Goodnight" I say to Luke and fall asleep.

I wake up because of something wet. I get the blanket away.
Oh hell no have I peed myself?
But as I feel a wave of pain roll over me I realize that I didn't pee myself.
"Luke! Luke!" I whisper and he sits up.
"Huh?"
"My water broke!" I say and get out of bed.
"Huh? What!"
"Come on call your mom!" I say and he jumps out of bed. I walk into the bathroom and try to change into fresh clothes.
"Wait I help you" Luke says.
"I need a new shirt!" I tell him and he gets me one. I feel another sharp pain in my back and belly. Luke rubs my back.
"Agh! Definitely didn't miss this pain" I say and get my shirt on.

Luke helps me walk downstairs. Where Emily is already waiting for us. It's only 4am and she is going to stay with the kids.
"You can do this Julie" Emily says and pats my arm I smile at her and we walk to the car.

"How far apart?" Luke asks after a another contraction hit.
"5min" I say and he drives faster. We finally arrived at the hospital and Luke gets me a wheelchair cause I cannot walk that far anymore. A nurse shows us our room and Luke helps me get changed into the hospital dress.
"Okay let's see how far you are" a nurse says and Luke holds my hand.
"Okay you are at 4cm, I'll come later to check on you" she says and walks out.
"I'm scared" I say.
"You don't have to be! I'm here." Luke says and I give him a small smile. Since what happend after Rose it makes me super anxious. I'm just glad Luke is here.

1 hour later.
I use the bed to brace myself and Luke rubs my back. This pain is absolutely horrible.
"Breathe" he says.
"I can't do this" I yell.
"Yes you can"
The pain goes away and Luke helps me sit on the bed again.
I hear the door open and a nurse walks in.
"Hello Julie I'm here to check on you.
Okay 5cm. You guys can try to walk a little in the hallway." She says and walks out.
"Only 5cm" I sigh.
"We're getting there" Luke gives me a kiss on my head and he helps me get out of the hallway and we walk a few minutes.

3hours later.
3 hours later and I'm exhausted and tired. I close my eyes and Luke pats my head.
"You are so strong" he says.
"No I'm not Luke"
"Yes you are. Look at you!" He trys to cheer me up. He is so sweet.
"Okay Julie we are ready!" The nurse says.
"Wait really?" Luke asks and the nurse nods.
"Halleluja finally!" I say and the nurses laugh.
I sit up and they get everything ready.
I take Luke's hands and he gives me a big smile and nods.
"Okay and 1...2....3..good job....4.....5...6.."
"Aghhhhh!" I yell.
"You got this Jules" I hear Luke say and fall back in bed.
"And again! 1....2........."
"No I can't" I yell.
"Yes you can Julie!" A nurse says.
"Good job! I see the head!" Another nurse tells me.
"And one more! 1.......2....3.....4..."
I feel a plop and hear my baby cry. I look up at Luke and he gives me a kiss.
The nurse lays my baby on my chest.
"Congratulations she is beautiful" a nurse says.
I see my tears fall down on my baby and wipe them away.
"Sorry baby" I cry and look at her. She is adorable. I also hear Luke cry and he touches her hand.
"Our big miracle!" I say and look at Luke and he kisses my head.
"I'm so proud of you" he says and I look down again on the little girl!
"Happy birthday baby" I say and kiss her forehead.

After about one hour I wake up from my nap. God that felt good! I see Luke swinging her around in his arms gently and he smiles at me. I decide that it's time to write our friends and family.

I laugh at Carlos text. He is so funny. After a while we hear a knock and Dahlia, Rose and Emily walk in.
"Mommyyyy" Dahlia runs up to me and she sits on my right side on bed next to me. Emily sits Rose on the left. They both look at their new baby sister.
"Awww" Dahlia says and pats her head. Wanna hold her?" I ask and she nods.
"Okay this hand here. Yes good job Dahlia. You have to be careful with the head okay?"
"Hello sissy" she says and I feel tears I my eyes again. Rose snuggles into me ans I kiss her head.
"She is so tiny" Dahlia notices and I take Miracle because she started crying. Rose holds er ears. And Luke laughs at her.
Later they went home again and dad and Carlos came to visit.
"She looks exactly like you when you were born" Dad notices and I smile at him.
"She is cute" Carlos says and pats her head.
"But next time I really want a boy! please God!" He fake prays. I laugh at him and Luke also giggles.
"Next time?" I laugh.
"Pleaseeee! We need more boys in our family!" He says and I shake my hand.
"Maybe you get a son someday." I say and dad looks shock.
"No! But please not yet okay?" Dad says to Carlos. He is now 16 almost 17 and has a girlfriend named Jackie.
"Dad I promise I'm not ready." He says as Miracle cries.
"Mom again would be super proud Julie" Dad explains and pats Mircales head and I give him a big smile. Yes she would be so proud and happy.

The name Miracle could be considered a modern update to traditional virtue names (Hope, Faith, Grace); and also a common choice among religiously minded parents who go through difficult pregnancies or childbirth. - Google

I came up with the name when I was writing this chapter. I didn't had any names that really could fit in the story. I thought maybe Olivia or another flower name like Yasmin or something. But I personally think Miracle is the perfect name. Let me know what you think!
Also I love this song I put in here.🤗
