"Tish!" I shout "I don't think this dress is right..I look fat". She laughs coming out of the bathroom "Mom cheri you look fine. Your pregnant not fat and you look beautiful". I roll my eyes and I start putting my earrings on "whatever". I look over to tish as she sits on the bed and puts her heels on.
"I love you" she tells me getting up. She comes over to me and kisses me. I wince as I get a tightening feeling in my stomach. I grip onto Morticias hand and I squeeze it. "Ow-..mon cheri...was that a contraction?" She asks whilst placing a hand on my lower back. I shake my head "Nope..just a braxton hick one...now we're gonna be late..come on".
"Hang on love.." she holds my hand as gently pulls me back to her whilst she grabs a box from under the bed. She passes me it with a massive grin on her face "happy birthday mon cheri". I open the box and I smile at the necklace.

"Oh tish I love it. Thankyou!" I say as I pass it to her. She puts it on me and smiles at me "your welcome..now come on were gonna be late.". I give her a look as we walk out.
We stand next to larissa and watch as students dance with their dates and friends. I lean against morticia as she wraps an arm around my waist. "I remember your first Raven.." she whispers to me. I hum as I try to hide the fact I'm in pain again.
"The blood raining down and poor larissa's scream" she laughs as we look at larissa whos stood not looking amused. "Oh hush..I didnt like blood and I still dont" Larissa tells us. I relax against Morticia as the contraction leaves.
About 7 minutes later we are stood getting a drink when I get a pain twice as worse. I wince and I grip onto Morticia's hand. "Thats it were going to hospital" she tells me as she hands larissa our drinks. "I'm...FINE-.. Oh fuck!" I shout as the pain gets worse. Tish rolls her eyes at me and hurrys me to the car.
I lean on the receptionists desk as tish tries to book me in "Nyx Thorpe please. Shes been having contractions and we think shes in labour". The receptionist looks up at us whilst chewing on her gum "How far apart are the contractions and has your water broke?". "7 to 10 minutes and no but they..REALLY HURT" I shout in pain.
The woman rolls her eyes at me "Go home and take some paracetamol. Come back if they get closer together or if your water breaks". I scoff and I spot Morticia giving her the finger as we go back to the car. "Fucking receptionist thinks she knows about labour. She looks about 15." Tish rants as we drive.
I grip onto the bed frame as another contraction hits me. Tears run down my face as I scream through it. Morticia stands behind me and rubs my back as we wait for it to finish. "I..told you to..sleep tish" I pant out as the pain passes. "Mon cheri..are you sure?" She asks trying not to yawn. I nod and she lays on the bed as I walk back and forth.
An hour later I'm leaning on the end of the bed when I feel liquid running down my legs. I look down and I frown when I spot my grey joggers turning darker. "Tish!" I shout whilst shaking her leg. She sits up slightly and rubs her eyes "m..mhm?". "My water broke" I whisper as I start to shake. "Your- what!" She sits up and looks me up and down.
I groan as another contraction hits me. She stands up and starts rushing around gathering things. The pain gets worse and I feel more liquid leaking out of me. I look down again and all I see is red. Blood spreads down my thighs as I stare in shock.
I feel my heart stop as I stay quiet. "Love..whats wrong?" Tish asks as she walks over to me. "I'm bleeding" I mutter out. "Oh god..uh..come on" she grabs my hand and picks up the bag she packed. The whole car ride I sit in pain whilst crying.
We get to the hospital and we rush to the receptionist. "Your back again?" The woman says in a snarky tone. "Yes!" I snap at her "And I'm fucking bleeding. If you let me in straight away this wouldn't have happened". Tish rubs her hand over my hip as the shocked Receptionist puts my details into the system.
I'm taken straight to a room and scan after scan is done. "It looks like..it was just normal bleeding..ill get you the epidural." The doctor says before walking out. I sigh and I look up at Morticia "I hate this..how have you done this twice". Tish smiles and kisses my head "I have a very high pain tolerance mon cheri".
As tish goes to kiss me I feel pressure "Can you..get a doctor..somethings wrong". She nods and walks out of the room. A few minutes later she comes back in with the doctor. Morticia stands next to me and runs her hand through my hair.
"Nyx..looks like your ready to push" she tells me with a grin on her face. "What- I...havent had the epidural..we just got here i-" im cut off by a strong contraction. "Okay Nyx push for me" I do as im told for the next half an hour.
I gasp slightly and tears run down my face when I hear a cry. I look at Morticia who is also crying "We have a baby..". I watch as a tiny dark haired baby is placed on my chest "Congratulations. You have a beautiful baby girl". I cry as I look down at her "hi baby..im your mama..". Tish sits on the edge of the bed and kisses my head "You did so well mon cheri".
That night I lay in a hospital bed holding my daughter with my girlfriend sat next to me staring at us in awe.
