PART TWO OF THE SERPENT
✥The Rich Girl & Her Bodyguard ✥
She had first told me she loved me at 11:20 as my fingers were busy getting soaked by her. Those pretty coloured eyes begged a man who couldn't love to love her just as hard. Her rosy flushed...

❦Blaise❦ Soft breathing echoed in the room as a large hand sat on top of my swollen belly. Octavio had fallen asleep right after massaging my feet as the day finally caught up to him. And for that very reason I didn't want to wake him up as I carefully lifted his hand off of me and placed it on the mattress beneath.
The pain in my lower abdomen was slowly hiking up as the baby grew heavier towards the bottom of my belly. I let out slow exhales as I made my way to the bathroom, trying my best not to wake Octavio behind me.
The bright light in the bathroom made me squint my eyes as I groaned in pain. It was suddenly too much, the bathroom lights, the texture of my nightgown, the smell of the vanilla candle sitting next to the sink, it was all too freaken much. And before I could process it all, I felt a trickle of warm liquid run down my left leg before trickling down more heavily.
"Oh god oh god oh god," I whispered into the bathroom floor as I pulled my nightgown up to see my water broken on the floor beneath. Dropping my nightgown, I made my way back into our room towards a very sleeping Octavio. This man I swear.
I groaned not so quietly into our room as I finally got over to his side and brushed away his dark curls from his face, trying to ease him into waking up. But yep that of course didn't work so I had to resort to a more aggressive approach as I shook him hard while keeping my other hand on my contracting abdomen.
"Please wake up Ocatvio."
His green eyes finally opened, still full of sleep and I almost felt bad but then when I felt a contraction run through me I knew I didn't care. We can sleep after we are done birthing this baby.
Thankfully as soon as he heard me groan in pain, he immediately jumped up and brought his hand to my back. "What's going on baby?" He asked as he slowly pulled me down to sit on the edge of the bed as he himself got up.
I breathed through my contraction before answering him, "My water broke." And the look on his face would have made me laugh if it weren't for the fact I was in active labor.
"Okay um okay I- wait we need to grab the bag and then but-" He said all of that while running in circles like a lost puppy. Knowing he wasn't going to stop pacing our room and not wanting to have a baby on our bedroom floor, I got up from where he had told me to sit and walked up to him.
"Baby baby," I shushed him softly as I brought my palm up to his face to gently ground him. He stopped pacing right at that moment as he placed his hands on either side of my hips and looked down at me with worried eyes.
"I'm losing it, aren't I?" He asked as he sighed in disappointment at himself.
I smiled before shaking my head, "It's fine baby. But can you grab the hospital bag and then help me change into another pair of clothes, these ones are soaked." And just like that he got into action as he ran and quickly grabbed the bag before coming back into the room and helping me change into a sweatshirt of his and a pair of my joggers. He finally grabbed a simple white shirt for himself and got dressed.
"Do you need me to carry you? What the hell am I asking of course you do!" But before he could lift me into his arms I squealed and backed away.
"I can walk to the car Octavio." I said as a half hearted laugh came out of me. Yep he was officially losing it.
"Sorry." He apologized again while rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. And I just smiled at him before making my way to the car. Let's just say from there and out we barely got to the hospital in one piece because Octavio thought I was going to start pushing our baby in the car. You would assume he worked great under pressure due to his previous occupation but let me just say his expertise were limited to firearms and hard fists.
When we finally got to the hospital, I was quickly wheeled inside before being assigned a delivery room. After changing out of my clothes into the hospital night gown given by the nurse, I just tried my best not to have a melt down from all the seizing pain I was feeling. But whoever said this was easy is freaken lying to my face.
"Errrahhh." I groaned into the hospital room as the nurse left the room after confirming I was eight centimeters dilated, saying it was almost time but not quiet there. And I swear I thought Octavio was going to kill her right there with the look he gave her.
We were past sweating, I was down right trembling now from the pain I felt everytime a contraction came through. I refused the epidural for a reason I couldn't care about right now but I swear never again.
"Breath for me baby. Come on slowly breath," Octavio encouraged me as I held my breath from the contraction.
"It hurts Ocatvio it hurts so much, I need ahh-" I couldn't even finish the sentence as tears ran down my face.
"Fuck this, where is the fucken doctor?!" He yelled as he stroked the damp hair off my forehead with his spare hand, his other hand was being deathly squeezed by one of my own.
I don't know how long I cried in pain for but when the doors to the hospital room opened next time around, the nurse came in with another who I suppose was the doctor followed by another nurse.
After gloving up and sanitizing or whatever the hell they needed to do, they finally made their sweet way to me. I was so going to choke someone soon if they didn't help me get this baby out.
"Oh wow, alright Blaise it looks like you're fully dilated. We are going to start pushing here in a moment." One of the two nurses helped me get into position while Octavio eyed her down with the meanest look I've ever seen on him. I closed my eyes and exhaled as I got ready to push.
"Alright Blaise, I need you to take a deep breath in for me and push, okay?" I just nodded as I did just that and I swear I felt myself wanting to die because of the pain. My eyes drifted open before immediately closing as I grew sensitive to all the light around me.
"Good good," The doctor encouraged as he asked me to push once again.
"Errrahhghhhh." I screamed into the room as I gave another strong push. Sweat trickled down my forehead down my neck as I felt our baby.
"Come on baby you got this. You're doing so good beautiful." Octavio whispered as I watched him pull my drenched hair back from my face from above, his other hand placed over mine where I was holding my legs up.
"Alright come on just one more time Blaise." I took a deep breath in before giving another hard push and I immediately felt when our baby slipped out of me and the sound of soft cries filled the room soon after. The adrenaline along with the overwhelming feeling of joy washed over me like a freight train.
"It's a healthy baby girl mama." The nurse announced as tears started to fall out of my eyes in relief. It was a girl, our baby was finally here.
