it was a crisp halloween morning, and juno was grabbing some groceries at tesco. damon had to be up in birmingham for an interview, so juno decided to get out of the house for the day. she loved the cold, rainy air in mid autumn, and wanted to take advantage of that.
she'd picked out some beautiful flowers to set on the dining room table for halloween dinner. a beautiful assortment of marigolds, daffodils, dahlias and calendulas. as juno was walking to her car, she started to feel a wetness in her pants. she first thought she'd wet herself, before realising what was going on.
"fuck". was all she muttered before booking it to her car, where her cellphone was. she threw the bags in the boot, and grabbed her phone. she didn't know who she should dial. damon was two hours north, noel was even further, so she called the one person she knew would drop everything to come help.
graham coxon.
just as she thought, graham answered immediately. "hey juno, everything okay"? his sweet voice filled the speaker.
"hey graham, um.. yeah im okay but im.. my water just broke". there was a silence for a moment before graham spoke up.
"oh.. shit okay.. where are you? i can take you to the hospital". he said, juno could hear him get up, and the door opening.
"im in the parking lot of the tesco's near victoria station.. how quickly can you get here"?
"i'll be there in 10. stay on the line with me".
just as he said, grahams car pulled up next to junos just under 10 minutes later. he got out of the car quickly holding a pair of sweatpants for juno to change into. juno thought this was such a kind gesture.
"you alright? let's get you into the car". he said, wrapping his arm over junos shoulder, helping her hobble into the passenger side of her car. once she was in safely, graham whipped over to the drivers side. "you ready"? he asked while staring the engine, juno nodding in response.
"i cant believe this is happening graham.. this is all so surreal.. and without damon".
"i know. me too. give damon a ring now so he can get his arse down here before you're in labour".
"good idea. thanks graham". she replied, pulling out her cellphone. graham shot her a smile before turning back to the road.
juno dialled damon's cell number, hoping he wasn't in the interview without his phone. luckily, after a couple rings, he answered.
"hi love".
"hi... my uh.. my water broke, and i'm on the way to the hospital with graham right now".
"what!? shit okay.. i'm on my way back now. i'll be there as soon as i can my love, hang in there, alright"?
"i'll be okay.. just get over here asap okay? i want you to be here".
"i'll be there as soon as i can love. i'll see you soon okay"?
"okay. bye love".
after about an hour, juno had a room in the hospital, and her contractions had started. she wasn't dilated enough to get an epidural, so she was sitting and suffering.
poor graham was doing whatever he could to help, but juno was complaining every five seconds. eventually, she was able to get the epidural, and her contractions became closer together.
juno was starting to worry about damon not arriving in time. her labour was going way faster than usual, and she couldn't bare not having him there for the birth of their baby girl.
"i swear to fucking god if he's not here in tiem i'm gonna rip his fucking head off". juno said through gritted teeth during a contraction.
"i'm sure he will be, but if for whatever reason he's not, i can stay with you if you'd like".
"thanks graham. i'm still gonna kill him though... FUCK everything hurts".
"even with the epidural"?
"i'm just aching.. i don't know".
juno, graham and the l&d nurse worked through her contractions for another half an hour, before a certain sandy haired man rushed into the room.
"oh fucking fuck damon. thank god you're here. i don't know how much longer i can hold her in anymore". juno groaned, damon rushing to the side of the bed opposite graham, crouching down and kissing juno on the top of her head.
"i'm so sorry darling i got here as fast as i could".
"it's okay. you're here now, and i haven't popped yet". she smiled.
"graham, can you run to the car and grab my mixtape out of the cassette player? i need some music righht about now". she asked.
"of course. one second". graham replied before jogging out of the room.
"what song do you want to be giving birth to"? damon asked.
"literally anything on that mix is good". she replied, damon wiping some hair that had gotten stuck in her forehead from sweat away from her face.
graham got back from the car, and popped the tape into the radio above the hospital bed. he clicked it on, and 'panama' by van halen began blasting through the speaker.
"hell yeah. this is how i wanna give birth". juno smirked.
after a few more minutes, junos worst contraction hit. this one was so bad, that a doctor was rushed in, and juno heard the two words she didn't want to hear. "start pushing". the doctor said. 'rhiannon' by fleetwood mac playing in the background.
juno, who was squeezing both damon and grahams hands, pushed as hard as she could. this was some of the worst pain she'd ever felt. she was screaming and crying, legs shaking as she pushed like there was no tomorrow.
juno fell limp as soon as she heard the cries of her baby girl, damon looking over as the doctors went to clean her up, a huge grin plastered on his face. he turned back to juno, kissing her on her forehead, and stroking her head. graham never let go of her other hand.
"you did so well juno. she's here". damon whispered. all juno could respond with was with a tired smile. she was exhausted. just then, the doctor handed her her tiny little baby, wrapped in a white blanket, and a little pink hat. juno teared up as she held the tiny creature, damon cupping it's little cheek with his hand.
"she's beautiful juno". graham cooed.
she was adorable. light blonde hair poking out from under the hat, and big sky blue eyes. she had the tiniest little nose, and the cutest pouty lips.
"what do you want to call her love"?
"i'm gonna call her rhiannon"
