"Come on, push with me! 1...2...3..."

"I AM FUCKING PUSHING STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO FUCKING DO!" Bambi screams at the midwife. She's completely naked, knelt on the floor leaning against the bed with sweat dripping down every inch of her body. I keep trying to wipe it off or hold her hand but every time I touch her she screams at me to fuck off. So I'm stood the other side of the bed watching helplessly as she brings life into the world. My amazing,  courageous, stunning fiancé who has been through hell and back is now in her 30th hour of labour. Our little boy is adamant he doesn't want to meet us yet. She went nearly 2 weeks overdue before they finally induced her and now we are at the final push. We've been through four midwifes because Bambi hated the others and I'm worried she's about to kick this one out too. Everyone in the room is milling around nervously, they've tried suggesting a c-section but my little firecracker is having none of it, she's determined to do this. She lets out a terrifying scream of frustration as she doesn't manage to push him out on her contraction.

"Right everyone needs to just shut the fuck up and let me do this. He is coming out." She lifts her head and points at me. "You. Come here." She motions to her side, I scurry to obey her command. "Distract my body. Stab me, kiss me, I don't fucking care. I need to focus on something else."

"I don't..." The mid wife starts to talk.

"Nope that's it. Out. Everyone get out of this fucking room. You can wait in the door way but I don't want to see or hear fucking anyone else." The nurses all look at each other as though they are debating not listening.

"OUT!" I roar. They all run to obey me and I hear the door go as file out. Once everyone is out I crouch beside my little firecracker. "What do you need me to do." I beg.

"Stand behind me, I need to feel your skin on mine. I'm going to reach down to catch him as I push." I rip off my clothes so I'm stood in my boxers and then kneel behind her and plaster my body to hers, I reach my arms under hers and place my hands on her boobs. I remember reading that sometimes stimulation can help move things along, I gently roll her nipples between my thumb and forefingers until finally Bambi relaxs back into me. I drop my head to her neck and pepper it with kisses.

"Okay, it's coming." She warns me before I feel her whole body tense up underneath me. I let go of her nipples and just brace my hands against her chest so she has something to push against whilst I bare my teeth and sink them hard into her shoulder. Bambi screams out as her whole body reacts to the contraction. After what feels like a lifetime there's a sloshing noise and then a moment later the screams of a new born baby. I sit back, pulling Bambi with me so she's sat on my lap, her arms wrapped around our tiny little bundle of screaming baby. We're both crying along with the baby and Bambi is panting hard trying to catch her breath. I wrap my arms over hers so we're both cradling our son.

"Well done mummy and daddy!" The midwife and nurses come back in and run around with blankets and towels. I help the midwife get Bambi back in bed and I take one of the blankets to wrap around her. Her whole body now covered in goosebumps as the sweat dries on her body. By the time I'm situated in the chair next to her she's already settled our little miracle baby and he's sound asleep on her chest. The nurses pass me the scissors so I can cut the cord and then a cloth so I can help wipe some of the gunk off.

"Everything looks okay for now, so we're going to leave you for a bit to get some skin on skin time then we will come and check the baby over. Mum your contractions will continue for a bit until the placenta is passed but they won't be as strong so you might not even notice them. Dad you did amazingly." I barely listen to the midwife as I watch my firecracker holding my boy, my heir, my own flesh and blood that will never know the horrors that we had to face to get here today.
