Shelby Sister/Isaiah- Christmas Baby

Christmas Eve and we have all gathered at aunt Polly's house
"Bloody hell YN your huge" Arthur shouts as Isaiah and I walk in, my hand on my very swollen stomach
"Thank you dear brother" i huff walking into the living room
"Maybe instead of staring at your sister you'd like to offer her your seat?" Polly looks at Arthur and John who are sat next to one another with a whisky in hand
"Here have mine" Tommy gets up from his chair "Lizzie would struggled getting up when she was that big"
"Thanks Tom" I say waddling over to the chair, Isaiah and Tommy helping me down
"I'll get you a cuppa" Ada says smiling at me
"Thanks. He or she was meant to be here last week. I'm fed up, my feet ache my back hurts and to top it all off I've been having pains" I complain to my family
"Pains?" aunt Polly questions
"Just the odd pain, I spoke to my doctor apparently it's normal, braxton hicks they're called"
"Baby will be here before the end of the night, mark my words" Esme chuckles. I roll my eyes at my sister in law.

As the evening goes on the pains start to get worse and worse, still thinking it's braxton hicks I decided to go to bed early. However I wake up only after a few hours of sleep in agonising pain and the bed wet
"Polly!" I shout trying to sit up holding my stomach "Polly!" I shout again. Where the bloody hell is she?
Finally the door the the bedroom opens, my nephew Karl is stoop rubbing his eyes
"What's wrong auntie YN?"
"Go and get Polly or your mum or one of your aunts. Now!" I yell probably scaring the little boy. I hear his feet running downstairs then shouting. Eventually Polly, Esme, Lizzie, Linda and Ada are in my room
"Told you baby was going to be here soon" Esme smiles
"Hush you. If your going to be up here then at least be useful and help" Polly scolds "now you don't all need to be in here, Lizzie go and get hot water and some towels, Linda go... i don't know go pray somewhere"
"I'm going to bloody kill him for this Pol" I shout as the pain increases
"You say that now, but wait till the baby is in your arms, you'll want another" Esme laughs

Downstairs Isaiah is pacing up and down as the kids are now all congregated in the living room
"Is auntie YN dying?" Charlie asks he's dad
"Don't be silly Charlie. She's having a baby" one of Johns kids yells the young boy
"Should I be up there with her?" Isaiah asks
"This is woman's business" Arthur says taking his whiskey off the table in front "last thing she will want is you holding her hand. You put the baby in there"
"Dad how did Isaiah put the baby in auntie YN?"
"Now you've done it" John laughs
"Just sit down and drink your whiskey" Tommy rubs his forehead. Isaiah follows what Tommy asks and sits down with his head in his hands
"How do woman do this? how has your Esme had 4 kids?"
"Always said it's worth it in the end" John replies.

The night drags on until I finally give birth to a baby boy just before midnight, his little cries can be heard from a mile away. Polly wraps him up in a bundle of blankets and places him in my arms
"Shhh Shhh" I bounce him trying to settle the baby
"Got a good set of lungs on him" Ada says sitting next to me
"I'll go and let Isaiah know" Esme smiles walking out of the room
"He's beautiful YN" Ada coos. I then hear someone running up the stairs, Isaiah no doubt. The door swings open and within a second he's by my side
"How are you feeling? is he ok?"
"Yes dear he's fine" I chuckle
"And you?" Isaiah asks again
"Im fine, just tired and in need of a good bath" I yawn
"Get some sleep love, we all need to. He'll be waking us all up" Polly says.

I'm not sure how much sleep any of us actually got that night, but the next day I'm sat downstairs rocking the baby while watching the other kids opening up their presents
"Merry Christmas everyone" Polly smiles holding a glass of whiskey in the air.
