"So exactly how compatible are we in bed, on a scale from one to ten?" Carina asked as they made their way to the maternity ward.
"Hmm, I want to say 23, but that might be overshooting it. I don't want you to get your hopes up, so I'm gonna say 19,5." Maya giggled, Carina threw her head back in laughter.
Carina suddenly stopped walking and grabbed on to Maya, another contraction hitting her just as they reached the nurses desk. Maya held her up, waiting patiently for it to pass before turning to the desk to get Carina admitted. The nurses who all knew and loved Carina just pointed Maya to the room and said they would be right there to help them get settled.
Carina breathed a thanks and as they walked to the room she didn't let go of her wife, Maya didn't say anything about it, happy that they could lean on each other again, both mentally and physically.
"How are you feeling?" Maya asked softly as she stroked some of Carina's hair being her ear.
"Good, I am ready to meet the little bambina." She climbed up on the bed and scooted back before reaching for Maya's hand. The blonde came willingly.
"You are so beautiful." Maya said as she grabbed Carina's chin and leaned down for a quick kiss.
"I aghh, Maya go get the nurse."
"They're coming, soon." Maya said and grabbed her hand.
"So is this baby, Maya. I need to push."
"Oh, oh! Really?" She stopped to look at her wife. "Already?"
"Maya!" Carina yelled.
"Shit, sorry, yeah." Maya jogged out the door and waved a nurse inside.
"She needs to push." Maya said as she made her way back to Carina's side, holding her hand.
"Okay, Dr. DeLuca. I'll page Wilson." She typed quickly on her phone and went to drape a paper blanket over Carina's legs. "I'm going to take your pants off." Carina nodded in response.
"Maya?" She said panicked.
"What's wrong, my love?" Maya kissed the top of her head.
"What if I can't do it?"
"You can, Carina. I know you can do this."
"I don't, I'm not ready."
"You have to do it anyway. I'll be right here the whole time, Carina." It wasn't lost on Maya that their roles were suddenly reversed. Maya had freaked out this morning and now it was Carina's turn and Maya felt strangely calm.
"Ah, Carina! Are you ready to meet your baby girl?" Jo appeared at the foot of Carina's bed with a smile.
"This is all happening way too fast, and Wilson last time I saw you, you were a general surgeon. Why are you even delivering my baby?"
"Hey, hey. Carina, it's going to be okay." Maya tried to assure. "You knew Wilson is an OB now, she cleared you after the accident. I promise you, she is more than qualified. Do you know why?"
Carina's eyes darted around the room in panic before landing on Maya's. She shook her head.
"Because she studied under the best OB in this hospital, probably the world, but then again, I might be biassed."
"I can't breathe right Maya."
"You're having a panic attack. Just try to breathe with me."
"No! Everything is all wrong. I don't want this. I never wanted kids. I'm not ready for this life. I can-".
