Slowly and steadily, y/n tried to breathe a slight contraction. The contractions had started about an hour ago and were still coming at irregular intervals, so y/n was still trying to keep calm, because she had already had contractions once.
During which she had felt that her daughter would soon see the light of day, so Travis had driven her to the hospital, where the contractions had turned out to be more or less just a false alarm and had been more or less just practice contractions.
She didn't want to worry anyone or give false hope again, so she hadn't informed anyone yet. Especially not Travis, who had just returned to training camp and had played the first game of the upcoming season over the weekend.
By now she was in her 39th week of pregnancy. Travis and y/n couldn't wait to hold their little girl in their arms soon. From the beginning of their pregnancy, the two of them feverishly looked forward to this day every day, so that they kept imagining scenarios of how their time with their daughter would be.
"Please, Peanut. You have to be patient a little longer," y/n murmured and put a hand on her belly, which she gently stroked to somehow make it clear to her daughter that she should wait a little longer.
She knew that this would probably not work, because babies always came when they wanted and this usually at the most inopportune moments.
During a contraction, she had somehow dragged herself into the living room, where she was now sitting on the couch, all fours stretched out, doing the breaths she had learned with Travis in a childbirth preparation class, over and over again during a new contraction.
Carefully, y/n reached for the cuddly blanket, which she slowly pulled over her, hoping that no more contractions would roll over her.
With her right hand, she reached for her iPhone, which was right next to her in case it did start, and glanced at the clock.
It was almost afternoon, which meant Travis would show up in a few minutes, so y/n exhaled in relief and patted herself on the back for not having managed to deliver her daughter yet, because y/n really wanted Travis to be there.
Although she also knew that he could end the training directly and go to the hospital, because he had already clarified that a few weeks ago.
Silence remained around her for a few minutes, so that shortly after she heard a car park in the driveway, and shortly after that the front door opened and fell back into the lock.
"I'm back!" , she heard Travis call out as the footsteps grew louder and he was standing in front of her in the living room shortly after, losing the wide grin he had been wearing.
Almost fear formed from his face when he found his wife with a distorted face and in a strange position.
"Babe? Is everything okay?" Travis dropped his bag on the floor and in two big strides was at the couch, where he dropped down on the sofa next to his wife and brushed the slightly wet hair out of her forehead.
"I'm having contractions. Although not so frequent yet, but I think she will come soon" , y/n murmured a little exhausted, while nevertheless a smile still crept onto her lips due to the anticipation.
Travis' eyes grew wide and he looked at y/n in disbelief for a few seconds before jumping up and running out of the living room.
"Oh god! I have to get everything!" , he shouted almost frantically as he ran upstairs to get the clinic bag the two of them had packed together two weeks ago.
Travis had also already installed the baby seat two weeks ago, so it was already ready to go in the car so he didn't have to do this while his wife would have been standing next to him in labor.
"We still have some time," y/n replied, although she was sure Travis didn't seem to hear her anymore.
She knew exactly how excited and nervous he was already, so she was determined to stay calm, even though she was just as excited as he was. And above all, she was a little afraid of the birth.
But she kept that to herself, because she didn't want to make Travis even more nervous.
"Okay, I've already put everything outside the door. If it starts I need to grab you and the bag, get you both in the car and drive to the hospital. The fastest route takes eight minutes..." , he began to babble away, while a soft giggle escaped y/n.
"What?"
"You're just cute, Trav. I'm sure you'll get us to the hospital in one piece."
Y/n slowly sat up and put her hands to her husband's cheeks while looking at him in love for a few seconds until she suddenly began to feel something wet between her legs.
It took a few seconds for both of them to realize what had just happened.
"Was that your water breaking? Oh, God! She's coming! What perfect timing!" , Travis exclaimed as y/n slightly contorted her face as a renewed pain rose in her.
Carefully, Travis helped his wife to her feet and supported her all the way into the hallway, where he then reached for the bag and carried his wife along with the bag to the car.
——
"She's so beautiful," Travis whispered softly as he looked over his shoulder at y/n, who lay in bed exhausted from giving birth.
"She is." , y/n replied with a smile as she closed her eyes for a few seconds to regain some more strength.
After weighing and measuring the little one, the nurse wrapped the baby in a blanket and handed Travis his daughter, whom he proudly hugged and began to beam all over his face.
"Welcome to the world, Peanut," he whispered softly to his daughter as he gently stroked her cheek.
The nickname Peanut carried the small already since y/n and Travis of the pregnancy had learned. Since they had not yet found a suitable name for her there, they had thought of a nickname with which they had always addressed her and the little one had often answered in the womb with kicks.
"And here's your mommy, who did a super job and who your daddy is more than proud of" , Travis began to tell his daughter as he walked with her back to y/n, who opened her eyes and looked over at her husband and daughter in love.
Even though she was pretty exhausted and the birth had cost her the last of her strength, she was overjoyed and could hardly believe her luck that she now not only had Travis by her side but also their daughter.
"She's beautiful," y/n whispered softly as she gently hugged her daughter and kissed her warm forehead.
"She got that from her mama," Travis replied, grinning broadly, and pressed a kiss to both of his girls ' foreheads as well before leaning over to his daughter and beginning to speak again.
"Welcome to the world Grace Kelce. I can't wait to show you the world."
