In which...
Layla Ward and Rudy Pankow have a summer fling on a vacation in Ibiza, leading to Layla finding out she's pregnant with Rudy's baby what happens when she has no way of contacting Rudy so she raises the baby alone until two years later...
Today I'm 3 days over due and to say that this pregnancy has been hard would be quite an understatement I mean I've been working my ass off to provide for my baby I've managed to get every I needed for my child I know it's only essentials but still I've managed to do it , this pregnancy is quite draining I didn't think pregnancy would be this bad but turns out it is, I wouldn't change it for the world tho
Im currently sat in my apartment living room with nova who's helping me build baby's crib I know we left it a bit late especially seeing as the baby was meant to be born 3 days ago but I've just had a lot going on I had to stop working this week for my maternity leave so that's a bonus but it also means I'm missing out on a bit of money for bean I went to the super market with novs yesterday we got lots of food and more diapers and other baby essentials
We finished building the crib and took it into mine and beans shared room nova helps me place everything then we start putting all beans clothes ,diapers, dummy's and other stuff away when I'm suddenly hit with a strong pain in my stomach I just wince as nova looks at me "are you okay Layls" she asks "Yeah I'm okay let's just finish this' I say just as I said that I feel a gush of water run down my legs I look down and see a puddle of water on the hard wood flooring "Novs I think my water just broke" I say while feeling more pain In my stomach Which might be contractions "Okay Layls don't panic where's beans car seat and your hospital bag" nova asks "it's in the storage closet in the hall" I say a little panicked
"Okay right put these on " she says putting my sliders next to me I slide them on as she goes to get the stuff I start walking in the hallway I see nova closing the closet door with my hospital bag on her shoulder and beans car seat next to her
"Nova I'm scared" I say "I know Layls but you can do this we're gonna go to the hospital and your gonna have your little baby okay" she reassures me "Okay" I say trying to walk to the front door We get to novas car which is parked in the parking lot outside of my apartment I'm so glad my apartments a ground floor apartment She starts driving to the hospital which isn't far away from my apartment As the drive continues it seems like the contractions are getting closer
"Nova they're getting closer together" I say looking at the dash board that says 1:15 "Okay Layls just breathe we're nearly there' she says as the car turns into the hospital car park
We get out of the car and walk in the hospital nova tells them my name , date of birth and what I'm there for they take me to a private hospital room and give me a gown I go change then the nurse comes and checks how far dilated I am she says I'm at 7cm Close to ten Which is when I'll need to start pushing she also tells me that dr harris is on her way she hooks me up to all the monitors and machines and she leaves I look at nova "I'm scared what if I do this all wrong" I say with tears in my eyes "you won't Layls you can do this and think of it you'll have your baby in the end of this I promise it will be worth it" I nod as I feel another contraction
It's been an hour when doctor Harris arrives checks how far dilated i am she says I'm 8cm so it should be another hour or so she then leaves Nova phones her parents to tell them they say that they will be here soon
"Novs I feel guilty Rudy should be here" I say crying I know he should but it's not your fault he's not you had no way of contacting him She says and I know she's right it just feels like I'm to blame
After what feels like twelve hours in reality it's only been and hour I'm 10cm dilated And ready to push nova comes to hold my hand I squeeze her hand as I start pushing I look up at her I can't do it I say with tear stained cheeks
Yes you can it will be over as soon as you know it she says and I nod I start pushing more not long after I hear my baby cry as doctor Harris says congratulations you have got a healthy baby girl she says passing her up to me after she's cut her umbilical cord and cleaned her up she puts her in a diaper and blanket with hat I hold her as she cry's the doctor asks her name I tell her it's Maisie Rae Ward she tells me her weight and height and the time she was born not long after she leaves
You did it Layls you have a daughter nova says crying a little I'm a mom I say looking down at the little girl who's in my arms
A few hours later nova had to leave after looking after Maisie while I got changed then I put Maisie in her onesie the nurses showed me how to feed Maisie 10 minutes after she was born she's in her onesie now I'm holding her
Hey princess it's your mommy I just want you to that I love you already welcome to the world my little dove Maisie Rae Ward I say kissing her head as she's asleep I just sit there watching her sleep as my phone goes off I pick it up I see nova has sent me the pictures she took of me and Maisie earlier I smile and message her back thank you and I take another few pictures of Maisie then post one on instagram
