Husband Delivery

Request from artoldfartsandunicornhearts Tumblr. May I request a James Dutton one? Where the reader is heavily pregnant and goes into labor and it’s just her and James and he helps deliver the baby?

A terrible storm causes everyone to huddle up in the wagons leaving me alone with James but that's not the problem. Shooting awake from my nap I shake him awake feeling my water break in between my legs meaning I was gonna have to give birth in a few seconds. My mother was in another wagon with my younger siblings leaving the task up to my husband. "James, James wake up. Wake up, please. My water broke." He sturred jolting up in a sitting position with his cowboy hat messed up on his head and a look of horror on his face. "What do we do..you're mother needs to be here." He stated to move outside but I clutched my stomach feeling contractions while the storm rages on outside.

Pressing my back against a crate we found a blanket that I could lay on while he rolled up his sleeves clearly panicking just like I am. When we decided to have a baby I never imagined that he would be the one delivering his own son or daughter. Clutching my hands into fists around the blanket I grunted baring my teeth I started pushing. "James urgh - I'm scared for this!" He's on his knees seeing the baby's head coming out while I kept pushing. "It's gonna be alright Y/n. We will get through this. I promise." After hours of pushing I gasped throwing my head back on the pillow hearing a baby crying out. Blinking my eyes a couple times I saw James smiling ear to ear holding an infant wrapped in a soft blanket. "He's perfect Y/n...our little boy."

James slowly bends down on a knee laying our little boy on my chest where I started crying happy tears. The little baby yanked snuggling against my chest. James tucks hair behind my ear kissing my forehead until I could tell that the storm was dying down outside the small wagon. "I think it's time we introduce the others to our little one. Any names you were thinking of darling?" Biting my lip in thought I stared down at my little boy before a name came to mind. "John." James sits down laying my head against his chest seeing my eyes getting heavy so he let's me lean into him. He runs his fingers through my hair knowing that it would put me to sleep in a matter of seconds and I deserved it after what I just went through. "It's a good name, my love. Now get some sleep. I'll take care of you two for the rest of the evening."
