No one could stop them ~ A.R

Olivia's pov

When we got back from the hospital, me and less went straight to sleep.

I didn't get much sleep though because I had non stop braxton hicks all throughout the night.

Lessi kept her arm wrapped around me the whole night, trying to provide that comfort in which could help.

————————
The following morning, less was not very keen on the idea of being alone when I was in such pain.

I insisted that she went out to train, purely because of the fact that they play their first game in just over a week and everyone needed training to prepare themselves.

So we compromised and less said that if she got someone to be with me, she'll go out and train.

Five minutes before the girls were due outside on the training pitches, Leah walks into the relaxation room.

Lessi had messaged Le to come and 'babysit' me whilst she went to train.

It wouldn't be that bad though because le's fun and we'll find something to do, even if I had contractions every 15 minutes.

————————

"I'm bored." I groan in annoyance

"Liv. I'm under strict instructions from less to not let you get up. Go find a board game or something and we'll play it." Leah tells me

"Can I not just get a glass of water? My legs are numb. I feel like I haven't walked in ages. Please." I give Leah puppy eyes

"Fine. But don't tell less I let you do this."

"I won't." I say and get up, struggling a lot though.

As I reach the door and turn the corner, I feel a warm liquid running down my legs.

"Le?" I shout, my voice full of panic.

"Livvy? What wrong?" Leah walks as quick as she can to me.

"I think my water just broke." I admit and grab hold of her arm.

"Okay, Livvy. Calm down. You go to your room, okay? And I'll go get less. Can you go to your room by yourself?" Leah asks and I nod. "Less will be there soon."

I make my way upstairs to mine and lessi's room and sit on the bed, not knowing what to do.

We had all the hospital bags packed so I didn't have to do that.

Suddenly a sharp pain fills my lower abdomen,ore painful than anyone before. I groan slightly, in pain.

"Baby?" Less runs into the room. "Are you okay, my love? Is it time?"

I nod at her, smiling as she comes and sits next to me, kissing my cheek.

"Are we going to the hospital then? Right let me get the bags, I'll get someone to get the car ready. Oh god, who do I trust to get the car ready? We still need to put the car seats in. What if—" Less panics and rushes around the room.

"—Wow. Lessi, relax. I haven't even had chance to time my contractions. Yes, my water broke, but we've still got time. The doctor told us to come once my contractions are about 5 minutes apart."

"Okay, okay. Would you like a shower before we go?" Less suggests, calming herself down.

"Only if you join." I say with a smile

"Okay, baby. I mean, we're not going to be showering for a while after having them. We are not gonna have the time." Less jokes as we make our way into the bathroom.

————————

After showering, we timed my contractions and they were every ten minutes.

We had read online that walking helped speed up labor.

So, we walked downstairs and were just going to walk around the lobby for a while.

"It's so sore." I complain as I lean into lessi because another contraction came.

"I know, baby. I'm sorry." Less kisses my head and we continue walking.

After about an hour of just walking around the hotel gardens, and the lobby, my contractions were each one minute long and were happening every six minutes.

The hospital was at least 30 minutes away and so by the time we got there, they would be 5 minutes apart.

"Bye, everyone." I say as we enter the relaxation room. "We're going to the hospital now."

Everyone came and said goodbye and good luck.

We only had one car for the whole of the team.

Because wherever we went, we all went together, we only had coaches unless for emergencies, and then we had a car.

In Australia, they also drive on the left side of the road so it will be the exact same for less.

We pack the car with all the bags we needed and the car seats that less will install at some point.

————————

I groan in pain and less puts her hand in my thigh, rubbing it comfortingly.

"We're nearly there, baby. I promise." Less tells me as I groan in pain.

————————

"Hi, my wife is in labor. We called a while ago and said that we're from England but due to work, the baby will be born here. We were also here yesterday." Less tells the receptionist

"Yes, I remember, I was the one who took the call. Can I just have her name and date of birth?"

"It's Olivia Russo, 31/7/99." Less states

"Okay. Can I just have you fill in this form and then we'll take you to your room." She smiles and hands less a form.

After filling the form out, we go sit in the waiting area.

"Olivia Russo. If you'd like to follow me, I'll take you to your room." A nurse says and we follow her.

We had a room all to ourselves which was nice.

I got dressed into a hospital gown and laid on the bed.

A nurse then came in and put the belts on my bump to monitor the girls' heart beats.

"Wow. It feels so real." I say to less as the nurse leaves the room.

"It is baby." Less takes my hand and rubs it. "We're going to be mummies soon."

"We're going to have daughters." I say

"We are."

A comfortable silence fills the room as we just smile at each other.

"Come here." I say, patting the bed beside me. Less comes and lays down next to me, her arm wrapping round my body and I rest my head on her shoulder.

"Go to sleep if you can, baby. It's going to be a tiring couple of days."
