Olivia's Pov

i thought about what would happen once the baby was born I'm terrified that I'm either going into labour or in labour. because I'm not wanting to have this baby yet I feel like it's too early. the doctor walks in and says" She shouldn't be in labour yet!" she comes over and checks me then tells me "That I could be in labour and that we are gonna play it out with Grayson monitoring me". Grayson looked happy but sad at the same time because he can't wait to meet the baby but Bubs needs another two weeks. Grayson looks at me and says "We should book an ultrasound to see what's happening with the baby"and I nod in agreeance. the doctor goes " I will do that when I get back to the office and can I check the baby's heart rate?" I nod that she could. she puts the monitor on the bottom of my stomach and she looks a bit concerned then said" bubs heart rate is a bit low but what Im going to do is get a hospital monitor in here to consistently watch Bub and teach Grayson how to read it" i share a scared look and say" what does a low heart rate mean?" then i get another contraction and the doctor says" it means baby isn't doing too well right now but gonna monitor baby" I smile through the pain.

I'm watching the love of my life enduring the pain that no man could understand and she is doing it like a champ. the doc sets up the monitor and says "Watch her carefully and movement of the baby's heart rate could make or break this" and we all nod in agreeance then the doctor left. This monitor follows her everywhere. the medication they gave her not long ago has made her contractions slow down a lot but still there. they all look a little bit dishearted but not giving up because it isn't dangerously low yet so they can still bring it up again. I'm worried baby doesn't want to stay in their long enough. of course we want baby here but its not ready yet, I look at my wife who is still in pain so I leave the room and go out to find the doctor and there she was standing at the desk. i asked her " so what happens if babys heart rate does pick up like we want It to?" and she says to me " well either we let her contractions go and she delivers or if it get dangerously low then we will send her for an emergency c-section but the c-section is last resort" i look at her a little worried then said" it is possible if you can have a little to make sure I'm looking at this right?" she nods and follows me back into the room with my wife and she looks at the monitor and says" well it has picked up but i still don't like how low it is but im trying not to push it too much because we don't want it to get into the high range because that's even more dangerous". We have no idea where to turn because this baby is really scaring us and we don't know what to do.

Im pacing around the room waiting for answers and then the doctor walks in and goes "look im not exactly happy with the baby's progress so we are going to keep you over night and depending on what happens overnight depends on how we procced in the morning ok?" the look I get from Grayson was a bit concerning but he knew that it was for the best but part of him wanted to take me home. I sit down on the bed and just sink because I wanna go home too and I know that I can't this is what baby needs. Only the doctors know what the baby needs and I guess I will do whatever it needed, but you could feel the scared and terrified look on her face that didn't seem to be acknowledged by the nurses around her. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to feel because there was so much happening around me.

I was telling herself she just had to trust the process because we never know what may happen as i end up sitting In my hospital bed looking down at my belly, I felt nervous but ok because everything was in the universes hands. As I look at my partner sitting next to me, he looks scared. I turn to him and say " hey baby it is ok it is in the universes hands it will be fine I can feel it."
