The cab pulls up to the hospital after exactly 3 contractions inside and they were pure hell. It was like my body was imploding and exploding all at the same time being trapped in the backseat with no relief from counter pressure or positioning. Tyler runs inside the hospital to retrieve a wheelchair and comes hoofing it out giving me quite the hilarious sight to boost my mood.
He flings the passenger door opens and helps me into the chair.
"Thank you so much..." Tyler says awkwardly paying the cab driver as I sit through another painful contraction. I writhe in pain as I feel my whole body fight against the surge.
"Just breathe Audj...you got this. We're right here!" Tyler comforts.
"Oooo!" I reluctantly try to relax and breath.
"You two go have a beautiful baby! You're a wonderful couple." The cab driver grins.
Tyler and I both shoot each other a look as my contraction ends because we both are not willing to explain our situation to a stranger when I literally have a baby about to shred out of me.
"Thank you!" Tyler shouts cheerfully as the cab pulls away.
Tyler takes off to the hospital doors while I catch my breath know another contraction is looming. He finds the elevator and thank the good lord they were already on the base level. The doors glide open and we rush inside.
"Labor and delivery floor?" Tyler says urgentlyhovering over each number button waiting for me to answer since I came here to my appointments each week but in the office side.
"Level 3...level 3!" I shout as a contraction starts and I gurgle breathe through it and Tyler rubs my shoulders as the doors close and we ascend upwards. While I am mid contraction feeling all the pressure within my thighs, Tyler's dumb ass decides to speak.
"Isn't labor suppose to be super slow your first time? You've been in labor for what...6 hours?" Tyler questions as the doors open.
He exits the elevator and I don't notice anything around me as I respond to his stupid comment.
"I don't know how this fucking works, Tyler! All I know is I can feel pressure from a huge baby skull erupting out of my vagina!" I scream and my eyes lock with Dean.
"Audrey!" Dean looks relieved and rushes to me.
"She's all yours." Tyler huffs in relief.
My face grows flush red with embarrassment and Tyler relinquishes the wheelchair to Dean. While we reconnect and I update Dean, Tyler goes to the front desk and tells them that I am here and in labor.
"You doing okay? God I was so worried! I am so sorry!" Dean says feverishly stroking the hair out of my face and kissing my forehead.
"Ya...ya I'm fine...just definitely wanting the epidural because I can feel his head ripping me apart with pressure...I don't want to know what it feels like to actually feel him ripping out of me..."I say in a panic.
"We'll get you that epidural the second we get back there okay!" Dean promises and kisses my sweat soaked head.
10 minutes and 3 contractions later:
"Alright, let's see where baby is really quick and then we can get some orders in for an epidural!"the nurse says gloving up and coming between my legs.
"Ooooo okay.... Eeeee! Awwwww!" I groan through another intense contraction.
Her hand slips inside me slowly and I wince from the pressure and dig my heels into the hospital bed. The feeling of a human's entire hand plunged inside you never is less intense but it's pure utter hell when you're at the end of a contraction.
