Suits and Love

Chapter Ten

August 1st.

Only a week left until baby boy is scheduled to arrive, and we will finally be a family of four.

Standing in front of the calendar, I glanced at 'September 5th, Wedding' written across the small square. "The day is approaching fast." Rocky said startling me.

"Sure is, but first we need this little one to join us." I smiled, rubbing my belly. As soon as those words left my mouth, a sharp pain rang through my side. "Ahh."

"You alright? Is it him?" He reached his hand out and placed it on my stomach.

"I think I just need to lay down." I waddled to our room, Rocky assisting me. He removed some of the covers, sitting me down. Flopping my feet under, I laid back; sighing deeply. Rocky kissed my head, rubbing my head gently.

"I'll be outside if you need me." I nodded. Closing my eyes, drifting off.

An hour later, I jolted awake; in pain. "Rocky!" I screamed.

"Shh, Stella's asleep. What's up?"

"I don't know, something feels wrong."

"Okay, I'll get Stella." I nodded quickly, slowly getting up onto my feet. I waddled my way to the front door, Rocky walking past me with Stella in his arms; placing her in her car seat.

I slid into my seat, as Rocky got in his; starting the car and driving as fast but safely to the hospital.

Arriving, I stayed in my seat while Rocky ran to grab a nurse. While he was somewhat describing what happened to them, I became overwhelmed with pain. "Ahh." I cried out.

The nurse followed Rocky back out to the car to assist me, bringing me inside while Rocky picked up Stell's.

By the time Rocky came into the waiting room, I had gotten rushed into a different room. "Hi, I'm looking for my pregnant wife. She was just rushed in here."

"She was rushed into emerge, we will page the doctor now and have him come meet with you." She said.

"Will she be okay?" He asked.

"That's up to the doctor to tell you."

"Mr. Lynch?" A man called out.

"Yes."

"Your wife is doing much better. She is resting, but the baby-"

"What about the baby?" Rocky interrupted.

"His neck was wrapped around the umbilical cord, which caused the pain she was experiencing." He paused.

"What does that mean, exactly?"

"We had to do an emergency C-Section, her heart rate was dropping which caused the baby to go into distress. This was a good thing, that you brought her in. It saved them both."

I gently opened my eyes to a quiet room, trying to sit up hurt like a bitch. Looking down, my entire stomach was wrapped and my huge baby bump gone. "What happened?" I asked myself, no recollection of what had happened earlier.

"They had to do an C-Section."

"Why?"

"The umbilical cord was wrapped unsafely around him, but now look at him; he's fine." I glanced to the small human Rocky had been holding. "Do you want to hold him?"

"Yeah!" I nodded. "Come here little guy."

"I picked a suitable name for him. I'm sorry, I wasn't sure when or if you'd come around and I-" He stated.
