A new beginning

Chapter 8

Milly POV

I was in bed watching Tv at about 9 am when all the sudden I feel my pants get wet. At first I thought I peed myself (because you know..... I'm 7.5 months pregnant.) When all the sudden I feel a sharp pain.... Yep I'm in labor.
Of course Ben is at work because it was Friday, so I literally almost broke my phone from grabbing it so hard trying to call him.
"Hey babe what's up?" He then probably noticed me breathing hard, "Love, are you okay?"
"Ben my water broke.... I'm have minor contractions." I then feel another pain that's more painful then the last.
"Oh shit.... Babe I'm on my way you stay put, please don't hurt yourself."
"I won't but please hurry."
"If you need too call Erin or Jon they can get you too the hospital baby. I don't know how long until I'm gonna be home since I have to get my makeup and costume off."
"I'm going to have to call them babe I don't know how much longer." I say through my teeth, I'm in really bad pain.
"Okay babe, go ahead and call them, the hospital bag in by the door okay? I love you baby, your doing amazing." He then hangs up before I can answer.
That's when I call Erin, it rings for awhile before she picks up.
"What's up Milly?"
"Erin, I'm in labor I need you to take me to the hospital. I'm in horrible pain."
"Oh shit, okay. Me and Jon are on our way okay? Don't move from where you are. Me and Jon will help you when we get there."
"Okay please hurry, my contractions are getting worse."
"We are about 5 minutes away, okay? I have the key to your house so please don't get up too unlock the door."
"Okay, but I need to change my pants. My water broke and they are wet."
This time Jon answered "Don't worry about it right now, okay? Erin will help you change when we get there."
      "Okay."
     Five minutes later I heard a car pull into the driveway. Thank goodness..... The door opened about 10 seconds later and Erin and Jon rushed up the stairs.
     "We rushed as fast as we could! Do you have a hospital bag we need to grab?" Erin looked both panicking and calm at the same time.
     "Yes it's by the door, I think it's a navy blue color." Jon nodded and rushed downstairs.
     "Here let's change your pants. Would you rather shorts or pants?"
     I felt another bad pain in my stomach that made it hard to respond. But I'm guessing since it was April, Erin knew I wanted shorts.
     Somehow knowing what drawer the shorts were in, Erin grabbed a black pair and rushed over to me.
      "Do you need help changing?" I nodded back still not able to answer. I could tell she knew I needed help, but she just wanted to make sure.
      She slowly took my pants off making sure she didn't hurt me. And of course right when she got them off poor Jon opened the door, I've never seen a man cover his eyes faster in my life.
      "Oh shit I'm sorry, I should've knocked first."
      Anyway after I got my pants changed Erin slowly helped me up, and I got my shoes on. And of course there was another obstacle..... going down the stairs.
     Both Erin and Jon looked at each other for a second until Jon spoke up, "Ok I'll help her down the stairs Erin and you open the front door and the car door." Erin nodded and rushed down the stairs.
"Okay you ready? We'll go nice and slow so you don't get hurt okay?" I nodded because for some reason my Vocal cords refused to work.
We slowly went down the stairs one by one. Jon whispered words of conformation and praises (not anything weird I promise) after each step. Meanwhile I was praying that I didn't have another contraction while going down.
After what seemed forever we made it down the stairs and I managed to wobbled into the car. The car ride to the hospital was honestly not too bad. Luck was on our side because we never got stopped at a red light, and traffic wasn't too bad. However I was still in pain the whole time.
When we arrived at the hospital Jon ran to get me a wheelchair for me, honestly he's such a gentleman.
After Jon brought the wheelchair we went into the hospital. And as if things couldn't get any worse people were staring at me like I was some animal. Even the lady at the check in desk had too get a second look at me. Sure I had a big stomach because I'm pregnant but they can have some respect.
The lady at desk looked for a second before clearing her throat, "What's your name ma'am?"
"Milly Barnes, Im a little before my due date; about half a month early."
"Okay sweetheart, is he the father?" She said while pointing to Jon.
Me and Jon gave a little chuckle, Erin probably didn't find it funny, "No ma'am the father is leaving work right now. He's just a friend."
The lady nodded, "Okay, please follow me."
The lady brought us too an elevator and unto the third floor.
"Okay sir go to that desk up there and check in." And before walking away she added, " And also congratulations!"
I thanked her as Jon wheeled me up to the check in desk, again the woman stared at me. But this time it seemed like she knew me. It was one of those stares someone gives you if they've seen you or you were once friends with before. Sadly I had no clue who she was. 
   I was still trapped in my own thoughts when the woman spoke up, "You're Milly Barnes, right."
   I was confused how she knew but I answered, "Yes ma'am. Um, also I'm half a month before my due date if that matters."
   She nodded and typed something into her computer. Next she asked me my birthday, insurance, blah blah blah all that important stuff. Honestly all I cared about was Ben getting here and getting these babies out of me.
   After the lady typed on her computer for what seemed like forever she finally got me one of those hospital bracelets and took me to a room.
Both Jon and Erin had to help me onto the bed. After what seemed like forever (even though it was about 5 minute) a nurse named Nancy came in and introduced herself. She asked me when my last contraction was and when my water broke. She asked me questions while she gave me my IV and hooked me up the machines to distract me from the needles.
Nancy was about 5'5 and had short blonde hair, she was wearing pink scrubs. I could tell she genuinely loved her job, which was good because I didn't want someone who was rude and didn't care.
   I was again interrupted from my thoughts when she asked me, "You're the lovely woman giving birth to triplets boys, correct?"
  I gave her a smile, "Yes, Ma'am I am."
   "Your gonna have your hands full that's for sure." We all laughed at her comment.
    After setting me up the machines Nancy checked to see how many centimeters I was dilated. I hoped I wasn't too dilated because I didn't know when Ben was going to be here, I hoped soon though.
    "You are about 3 cm dilated sweetie, it might be awhile okay?" I modded, I was a little glad, I was scared I would have to deliver the babies without Ben. That would be a nightmare, sure I have Erin and Jon but it wouldn't be the same.

Small time skip

About 30 minutes later I was now 4 cm dilated. And let me tell you, my contractions have been a living hell. As soon as Nancy left it's been endless pain. As every contraction hits me It makes me wanna punch Ben for not being here. Jon probably does too, since he's been holding my hand every time I have a contraction. Jon told me I could squeeze his hand every time I felt pain, and oh boy I've squeezed his hand so hard I don't know how he can handle it. Ben luckily said he was on his way 10 minutes ago, and I know it will be awhile if the traffic is bad. Luckily it's 9 am on a Friday, so traffic shouldn't be that much of a problem.
About five minutes later I got a text from Ben saying he was at the hospital. Just as I was about to tell Jon and Erin another contraction hit. This once was the worst by far, it felt like my stomach was being stabbed over and over again. Poor Jon definitely regretted letting me squeeze his hand at that moment, you could see the pain on his face.
Just as I was about to say sorry to Jon the door opened, I immediately knew who it was. It was Ben. As soon as I saw his face I broke down crying, not only because of the pain but because the love of my life finally was here to support me.
As soon as Ben saw me he rushed over, cupping my cheeks and giving me a short but one of the most loving kisses he has ever given me. He had tears in his eyes and he was apologizing over and over again for not being able to be here sooner. He soon stopped apologizing and thanked Erin and Jon for being here with me. Ben was acting in a way that I have only seen him act two times before.
Ben was panicking. He was rambling, stuttering, and crying, his face looked relatively calm but I new he wasn't okay. I knew I would be the only one to calm him down. I shot a 'we need a minute alone' look to Erin, who luckily knew what I meant.
"Jon sweetie can we go to the food court downstairs? I'm getting hungry." Erin said, she was also giving Jon a 'let's leave' look. Jon nodded, asked Ben and I if we needed anything, then left.
As soon as they left I Ben looked me in the eyes again.
"Ben, come here babe," Ben walked over I placed my hands on his cheeks like he did to me earlier. I looked him in his brown eyes, and gave him a small smile and quietly said, "Baby are you okay? I'm not mad at you if that's what your worried about."
Ben shook his head, "I just hate seeing you in pain love, and the fact you've been in one of the worst amounts of pain you've ever felt and I wasn't here with you hurts me." He once again teared up, but this time he actually started crying, "Baby I'm so sorry I should've taken off of work when you were 7 months."
"Don't apologize Ben, you know you couldn't take off of work. You have a pretty big part in a Netflix series, they wouldn't be able to shoot a lot of scenes without you. I love you so much and I'm not mad you okay?" After the last words I kissed him again and gave him a smile.
Ben smiled and nodded, "I love you too baby, I can't wait for our little boys to be here."
"I can't wait either."
