(Sorry for the gap in updates! I picked up a second job and I feel like I'm never home lol. Also this is going to be a time skip because I make the rules here ok bye bye)

*Sutton's POV*

Pregnancy is the absolute worst. I'm so excited to meet her, but I'm also so ready to feel like I'm not a balloon anymore. Noah walks into the room in his New Years Eve attire, laughing at the sight of me watching One Tree Hill with a mug of tea balancing on my protruding belly.

"Are you already introducing our daughter to heating pads?" he joked.

"Oh trust me, she's well-acquainted," I joked back, thinking about how many days I have spent glued to my heating pad because of the discomfort that I have faced. 

"You about ready?" he asked, referring to going to the guy's house to celebrate my favorite holiday. I nodded and wiggled my way off of the couch, my belly really hindering me from moving around normally. I had found a silver dress for the occasion, genuinely feeling like a disco ball in it, but I try to quiet those thoughts. We pile into the car, Noah helping me up since it's the smallest step up. The sun was still out, but I noted that it's also only 4 pm. 

I was getting out of the car when I felt a wetness between my legs. "Did I pee myself again?" I asked frustratedly. 

Noah came around to the other side of the car. "Uh, I think your water actually just broke," he tried to say gently. It felt like the first contraction was set off by that sentence, me gripping the car door and trying to not scream. Noah quickly helped me back into the car and ran inside, re-emerging with Nic and Danielle. Noah drove as fast as he could get away with to the best hospital in the area. I didn't give a fuck what doctor I get at this point, as long as we get Luna out of me.

We pulled up to the emergency entrance and a nurse came out with a wheelchair, Nic hopping out and opening the door for us. He helped the nurse load me up into the wheelchair. "Her water broke and she's already having contractions," he said quickly, clearly not wanting to panic in front of me. 

"I'll be there as soon as I park!" I heard Noah call out before Nic closed the door back. The nurse immediately wheeled me in and got me straight into a room, loading me onto the bed. 

"I'm going to check to see how dilated you are, okay?" the nurse asked for my consent, going to check. "Looks like you're about 3 centimeters, how are those contractions feeling?"

Another rolled in as she asked, making me hiss out an involuntary breath. "Like shit," I hissed out. She chuckled a little, patting my leg.

"I totally understand. Do you want an epidural?" 

"Yes, and then whatever else you can give me to make this pain stop," I taunted, knowing she couldn't do much more. 

"I'll let you get 1 more centimeter further and we'll get you that epidural," she reassured me. Noah came in in a rush, immediately coming to me and putting my purse down in the extra chair. 

"Oh my God, we don't have the hospital bag," I thought out loud. 

"I can ask Danielle and Nic to get it, they can't be in here with me anyway," Noah offered. 

"That'd be great," I responded quickly, another contraction rolling in. It made the nurse stop in her tracks and check me again.

"Well, you're now at 4," she said in disbelief. "The epidural will slow this down some, but the Pitocin will keep things moving," she filled me in. I nodded in consent. "What's your name by the way?"

"Sutton Sebastian," I hissed out, the pain being a lot. 

"Are you close to your due date?"

"Yeah, she was due in a few days," I answered simply. Noah came back in, not being able to wipe the concern off of his face.
