44- Bo- It's Time

Dedicated to mjsayshi because she voted for all my chapters:)

~One week later~

Abii went home a couple of days ago leaving me, Dan, Phil and Megan. I'm so tired of waiting for Ellie to come, but I keep reminding myself that it's only one week left. I roll uncomfortably out of bed and stretch.
"Morning, tiger." Dan groans from the bed.
"Morning, bear." I reply groggily. I go to the wardrobe and pick out some clothes. Just some tracksuit bottoms and a comfy top. My back hurts quite a bit today. I roll my shoulders and stretch out a bit, though it doesn't help much.

"Hey, Bo." Megan smiles as I walk into the kitchen
"Hey! How are you?" I ask.
"Meh, craving and back pain. Oh and my boobs feel heavier." Again, a pressure pushes me.
"I have that as well, it sucks." I laugh. I grab some cereal and tip it into a bowl. I pour the milk into it as well and sit down in the lounge. After I rearrange the pillows, Megan joins me soon after and we chat for a bit. I sigh as I feel really uncomfortable and like I have a lot of energy.
"You're really fidgety today. What's up?" Megan asks.
"I don't know. I just can't sit still." I groan. I stand up and start arranging some magazines.
"Maybe it's a pregnancy thing?"
"Maybe." I sigh. "I'm thinking of having my hen party after Ellie is born, but honestly she could come any day now."
"Well, from a 26 year old, you will be ready, I'm sure of it." Megan smiles.
"Thanks." I blush.

I've finished my breakfast and I can hear Dan getting ready upstairs; he's putting on skinny jeans, he fallen over three times already. I lie down on the sofa. I suddenly feel water dribble down my leg... My waters just broke.
"Shit!" I yell, sitting up.
"What?" Megan runs into the room. She sees the wet patch on the sofa and her eyes widen. "Fuck..." She whispers under her breath.
"Get Dan." I request shakily. Okay, this is happening... I double over in pain as I'm hit by my first contraction. She scoots off. I hear footsteps running down the stairs. I start to bite my nails.
"Bo! Are you okay?" Dan asks as he bolts into the room.
"It's time." I whisper, throwing my arms around him.
"I know, it'll be okay." He soothes. I nod and release my grip.

A pain shoots trough my abdomen, causing me to double over again and yelp as it surprises me. It's really long between each one, so it's going to take a long time. I know these are nothing compared to what is going to come. Phil walks onto the room with a worried expression on his face. He soon catches on to what's happening and sits next to me. I'm still really shaky from the shock of it all.
"Breath." He says, rubbing my back. I take a shaky breath in and let it out. I calm myself down slightly and straighten my back.
"Megan, can you grab the mats inside the baby's wardrobe?" Dan asks.
"Sure." She runs out. I feel shaky and my breathing started to hitch. Panic attack...
"Shit, she's having panic attack." Dan confirms, embracing me. 

"I'm not ready, I'm not ready. I don't want to have a baby yet. I'm not ready." I gasp. 

"Yes you are." Dan says, kissing my forehead. "You're gonna be a great mum, and you're going to be fine, Blossom, I promise." He rocks me slightly and shushes in my ear. I nod and clutch Dan's shirt. Phil gets some water and holds it to my lips. I breath normally again and take some gulps of water.

"Call Mia." Mia's my midwife. Phil nods and dials her.
"I have the mats!" Megan announces.
"Put them on the floor." Phil says. She does as she is told.
"Phil, out now." Megan commands as she rushes to my side and helps Dan get me up and to the mat.
"Why?" Phil groans.
"Privacy for Blossom!" Megan says like it is obvious.
"No, it's okay." I gasp after another contraction. I stretch my legs.
"Are you sure?" Dans asks, smoothing down my hair.
"He's my friend, Dan." I remind him. Phil crouches next to Dan. "Can someone get me a dress or a long top that doesn't matter if I ruin?"
"Sure." Dan scoots out of the room, only to come back a few minutes later with one of his old t-shirts.
"Thanks." I mutter. The boys turn around while Megan helps me get undressed. I wriggle into the oversized shirt.
"You can turn around now." Megan says.
"Mia's on her way." Phil nods.

About 10 minutes later, Mia arrives. I greet her with a smile and hug her.
"How are you doing, Blossom?" She asks. Another midwife, Sarah, comes in behind her.
"I'm good. The contractions are hurting quite a bit. They're still like 15 minutes a part." I nod.
"Right. Well, I've brought some mats, so you don't get stuff on your carpet." Mia's smiles. I lead her into the lounge and watch as she sets down the mats. "If you need to to help with the pains you can have a bath. Stage one of labour takes up to 15 hours, but as your waters broke so early I've got to stay here."
"Okay." I nod.

I get up and walk to the kitchen. Mia said I can walk around if I want.
"How are you feeling?" Dan asks, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind.
"Everything hurts." I groan, leaning into him.
"I bet." Dan kisses my earlobe.
"It's taking forever."
"I know, but it'll be worth it when it's over."
"Yeah." I smile. "Ah." I cry out, clinging on to the counter. Dan holds me upright, helping me not collapse to the floor. Dan kisses my forehead and strokes my hair. The pain stops and I take deep breathes.
"I hate seeing you in pain." Dan mutters. 
"I love you." I whisper.
"I love you too." Dan kisses my cheek and hugs me.

"You're fully dilated, so you're ready to push." Sarah says. I nod and cry out at a contraction. It's been just over 4 hours now. I've been walking around the house, trying to distract myself, but now the contractions are way too strong.
"Are you okay?" Dan asks, clutching my hand. I nod and a few seconds later the pain returns. I squeeze Dan and Megan's hands as hard as I can and push when Mia nods. I scream a bit at the pain. The contraction is soon over. I think I scared Dan a bit as he is holding my hand close to his chest.

Five hours in and I feel so grumpy and fed up.
"Dan, go away." I gasp exhaustedly as the pain subsides. Dan furrows his eyebrows.
"Give her some space. Whatever Blossom says, she doesn't mean it." Mia explains. Dan nods and stands up. I groan and bow my head. Phil has gone to film a video explaining what is happening; I want to let my subscribers know what is happening. I grit my teeth as another wave of pain hits me.
"Fuck! Ow! I'm not having anymore fucking kids." I strain.
"Okay, Blossom, relax." Mia says, as my heart starts to race. I lean back and sigh at the short relief. "Do you want some gas and air?" I nod and take a deep breath into the mask. It takes the edge off the pain. I see Dan biting his lip out of the corner of my eye. I feel sort of guilty, but I also feel angry. Megan says something to him.
"Fucking hell, Daniel." I cry out as another pain hits me. Mia pats my shoulder and smiles sympathetically at Dan.
"Blossom, I want you to pant as the baby's head is being born." Sarah says. I pant heavily and bite my lip. I feel a little pressure released from my abdomen, so my head flops limply onto the pillows supporting my head.
"The heads born." Sarah declares. Dan steps closer to me. I look at him and hold out my hand. Dan smiles and take it, wiping tears off my cheek.
"Well done, Blossom, just a little more." Mia smiles. Dan grins and strokes my thigh. I smile back but my happiness is short-lived as another contraction sweeps over me like a blanket. "Sarah, support the baby's head." Mia commands. I groan in pain. Phil walks back into the room and wipes away the beads of sweat from my forehead.
"Come on Blossom, you are doing really well." Dan encourages me as I push.
"Just one more push." Mia says. I struggle to find strength to push. Grunting, I give it my all and push my hardest. "Good girl." Mia praises. I feel a great pressure be lifted. I go limp for a few seconds, catching my breath. My head is raised again as I hear crying. I see Sarah holding Ellie. Dan cuts the umbilical cord before she hands Ellie to Dan. My heart is warmed as I see my two greatest loves finally meeting. Dan looks at me and smiles. I shut my eyes for a second, catching my breath.
"I'll get you some towels." Phil whispers, dashing out of the room.
"Do you want an injection for the afterbirth?" Mia asks. I nod, and clutch at Megan's top. "Great job." She takes it away and puts it in a bucket. Dan helps me sit up. He hands me Ellie. I rock her slightly and she soon stops crying. I look up at Dan, his eyes are filled with tears, matching mine. He leans down and kisses me.
"I have towels!" Phil smiles. I take one and clean up Ellie.
"Oh, sorry about your shirt." I say guiltily to Dan. He looks down at his slightly blood stained top.
"Eh, who cares." He laughs. I laugh with him.
"And I'm sorry for shouting at you, I didn't mean it." I say guiltily.
"I know. It's okay. I love you." Dan smiles, kissing my forehead.
"I love you too." I sigh.

Megan rocks Ellie in her arms as I set up my camera. Dan and I have got changed and are preparing to show our subscribers Ellie. Soon the equipment is ready.
"Hello people of the Internet! So I'm sure that you've seen the video Phil posted and the tweets. And if you haven't, why?" I laugh. "Anyway, I would like to introduce to you..." Dan takes Ellie from Megan and sits down next to me. "Ellie Shannon (:P) Ann Howell!"
