Forty-Five

"Oh" He said.. staring at the puddle still with me.

"Hobi?" I said to get his attention as we looked up from the puddle.

"Hm?" He replied, then followed my eyes back down to my stomach and then the puddle.
"Oh.... OH SHIT!" He finally snapped out of it and scrambled in a panic to get dressed.

"Hobi.." He was out the bathroom door by the time I said his name. He was scurrying around and I just stood there, he came back and looked at me apologetically.

"I am so sorry, love." He said as he came back with some clothes for me. He helped me put on the long night gown, since I'd be putting on a hospital gown anyway. I went to follow Hobi out of the bathroom and I had to bend slightly and hold onto the door frame as the next contraction hit me harder. I tried to breathe through it. Hobi panicked, trying to get my things but also help me.. only he couldn't help the pain from the contractions. He held me close and helped me down the stairs.
"Remind me to get the guys to put in an elevator." he grunted as he tried to help me down the stairs, but the movement had me so off balance. He was careful though. He sent a text to the group chat to let the others know he was taking me to the hospital. He helped me into his car and got in after putting my things in the back. I just focused on breathing while he drove. He let put the doctor on speaker, and let her know we were headed to the hospital. She was already there so she told us she'd have things ready once Hobi mentioned my water broke already. I was clenching through the pain of the contractions as they were coming more frequently.
Once we pulled up, a nurse was outside with a wheelchair. Hobi got out, grabbed my things and opened my door for me.

"Miss Katsi?" The woman asked, coming over with the wheelchair.

"Yes, yes, she is." Hobi urgently replied, still freaking out. The nurse smiled and her and Hoseok helped me into the wheelchair.

"Okay, follow me up to the maternity ward." She said, leading us to the elevator. She grabbed a clipboard off the nurse's station that seemed to be waiting for her and she led us back to labor and delivery. Hoseok wheeled me along the hall while I continued to gently rub my stomach and breathe. Finally we made it into a private room, it was large. Soon Dr. Yang came in with a smile.

"Finally time, are we excited mom?" She said with enthusiasm. I looked at her, breathing as best as I could.

"I just want this to be over. This is the not fun part." I managed to get out through gritted teeth. I was helped onto the bed and instructed to put my heels in the stirrups at the end of the bed. Hoseok was texting everyone, his parents and the others in the group chat to let them all know where we were. Doctor Yang put on surgical gloves and lifted my nightgown up. The nurse next to her squirted something on her fingers to lube them up.

"Alright, this is going to be a little uncomfortable, you're not crowning yet so I need to check how dilated you are. okay? Just breathe and try to relax." She said as she slipped her fingers into me. She was right.. it was the most uncomfortable thing and it was painful as I felt her pretty far into me. She pulled her fingers out and removed the gloves, tossing them away.
"Alright, you're close, probably not too much longer. About 4-5 centimeters, you'll jump the gap pretty quickly. Always happens, sometimes it can happen at 3 centimeters." She said, trying to assure me everything was right on schedule... even though I was about a week and a half from due date.
"Let's get an IV running, need to keep her hydrated and let's get her all hooked up. We might be going fast, or slow, but let's just make sure everything is on hand." Dr Yang said as she instructed the nurses to get everything prepared. I was hooked up to an IV, getting that thing put in wasn't fun.

"Dr. Yang?" I asked as she was prepping.

"Yes dear?" She replied.

"Will I get an eee-ah!" Another contraction hit and Dr. Yang checked her watch.

"Epidural right? Sorry hun, you're too far along for that now. It could be any minute, we won't risk it." She said, So... looks like I was going through this all natural, great.. I mean my ancestors did it so why couldn't I.... right? I really wished Tota was here at least.

"Shit.." I breathed out just a minute before another contraction hit, this one was certainly stronger.

"Breathe sweetie. breathe through it." Hobi softly rooted for me, standing next to me and looking at his phone now and then. I assumed he was trying to hurry everyone here.
"Ah! Ok, so.. Namjoon and Yoongi are on their way. Jin has the younger three and they were at the house so they'll be here soon. Yoongi and Namjoon are almost here though, I told them which room number and ward so they know." Hobi said, assuring me that everything would be fine and the others would get here in time.
We waited for about 20 minutes before Yoongi and Namjoon entered the room. The nurses and Doctor Yang were monitoring everything. They had attached a device around my belly that monitored contractions. I was doing my best to breathe through it all, but I was losing focus fast. Yoongi rushed to my side and took my hand in his.

"Baby, we're here. You got this love." Yoongi said as he rubbed his strong hands over mine. I nodded and breathed slow and clenched as another contraction hit.

"Is she okay?" Namjoon asked.

"All part of the miracle of birth. No worries." Dr. Yang assured him. Ten more minutes passed and the other four showed up, panting from being out of breath.

"We made it. We're here." Tae said. The nurses looked as the other four entered.

"We're all here now baby." Jimin said as he hurried to my other side and held my other hand, careful of the IV that was attached.

"Thank you Jimin-AH!" I yelled, clenching as the wave of pain washed over me.

"I don't like seeing her in pain." Jungkook muttered, hiding behind Namjoon.

"It's normal Kookie, come on. We're here for Katsi and our beautiful babies." Namjoon assured him, encouraging him to step up and not hide. Jungkook straightened up and nodded as he stepped out from behind Namjoon.

"You're right." He said, smiling softly at me.

"So.. what happened anyway? I thought we had a few more weeks?" Jin asked, Hobi blushed a little but composed himself to respond.

"So... what happened was, well you guys all had stuff to do to like, rejuvenate and recharge. Katsi and I stayed home and cuddled... and that turned to making out... which then turned into um... sexy time." He said softly, feeling embarrassed saying it in a room of female nurses and the Doctor.

"So you fucked her right into labor?"

"Jimin!" Namjoon yelled at Jimin's crude, open comment in front of the doctor and nurses who just giggled.

"What? He did. right?" Jimin smirked, that cheeky smirk that I did enjoy.

"Not the point." Namjoon replied. The conversation took a long pause when another harsh contraction ripped through me and made the doctor grab a stood and sit between my legs.

"Wow, fast one. Alright, we got a crown here so let's start pushing. Katsi, scoot down just a little more" Dr. Yang instructed, I breathed through the pain and scooted my butt down so I was just off the edge of the bed. My feet in the stirrups, and Yoongi on one side of me holding my hand while Jimin was on the other holding my other hand.

"You got this love." Jin said confidently. Fuck... I really wish I had his confidence, but I felt so much pain, I thought my breath had been stolen. It was so difficult to focus on breathing, I regretted not asking more about this process, maybe then I'd have been more prepared. But every book I read didn't have a definite answer... every woman was different and every birthing experience was different. I still wish I'd asked more questions or read more.
Having Yoongi and Jimin hold my hands was helpful, but when the pain struck I'd squeeze their hands and feel them flinch a bit. I even heard Jimin whimper slightly and I had to ease up on holding his hand, but he still insisted.

"You're doing great." Yoongi whispered near me.

"Push!" Dr. Yang would instruct and I gave it my all. By the time the first baby was out, I was so tired, my forehead beaded with sweat. I felt damp with sweat.

"Oh my god... he's beautiful!" Taehyung cheered as he watched the nurses wrap the crying baby in a blanket while Jin was offered to cut the cord. They took the baby to get cleaned up, the guys were smiling so bright and everything. I wanted to relax but I couldn't, the second bundle of joy was about to crown.
