I sped down the street like a bat outta hell. Dodging potholes, and running red lights. I started to visualize the pain my baby was going though. I was nervous and excited at the same time. I never witnessed any of my kids being born so this would be my first. I finally made it to the house and ran to the front door. I could hear Mercedes crying on the other side. I almost broke my key trying to unlock the door. Mercedes was on the living room floor crying her eyes out. She was all wet and I could tell she was in pain.
"Eric" she cried
"It's ok baby I'm here"
I picked her up and carried her to the car. I put her in the backseat and hurried to the hospital.
"Baby hurry" she moaned
"We almost there baby hold on" I said with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on her belly. We finally pulled up to the hospital and I carried her inside.
"Somebody please help me my girl is having a baby!" I yelled still holding Mercedes with sweat dripping down my face.
"This way" said a nurse
Mercedes moaned and groaned as I carried her. The nurse led us to the ER where I laid her on the bed.
"Oooooo"
"Just hold on baby"
"Doctor Mills this woman is going into labor!" yells the nurse out the door
Mercedes hair was all over her head, she was sweating, and breathing hard.
"Ohhhhhh fuck it hurts !" she said gripping my jacket
"Just hold on baby the doctor is coming"
"I can't hold on this baby aint waiting for nobody ohhhhhh"
Just then the doctor came in. He proped her legs up and spread them. Her moans and groans were getting louder and louder. I couldn't even imagine the pain she was in right now. I did this to her and all I can do is be here for her. Just then she gripped the neck of my shirt and pulled me close to her face.
"Eric make it stop!!!" she cried
"It's alright baby i promise"
"I see a head I assume your the father?" said the doctor not looking at me
"Yes" I said
"Ok Dad I'm going to need you to hold moms hand and keep her calm can you do that?"
"Yes" I said swallowing hard
"Ok and ma'me what's your name ?"
"Her name is Mercedes" I said answering for her. I already knew she wasn't going to talk her new language was screams and moans.
"Ok Mercedes on a count of three your going to push ok?"
She nodded her head
"One..." she grabbed my hand
"Two..." she grinted her teeth
"Three!" she started to push. Her screams got louder and louder as she pushed. I though she was going to blow my ear drum out as loud as she was screaming. I knew she was in intense pain, she was squeezing my hand so tight I couldn't feel the blood circulation.
"Come on baby you can do it" I said to her
"Just keep pushing" said the doctor
"Alright here she comes just give me one more good push Mercedes"
Mercedes pushed so hard I could see her veins on her forehead. Before I knew it I heard the cries of a baby.
"We got her" said the Doctor
Mercedes let go of my hand in relief and let out a loud sigh. I leaned in and kissed her on the head.
"You did it baby"
"Congratulations ! It's a girl!" said the doctor wrapping my daughter up and giving her to me
I looked at her as she cried but when I kissed her on the head her cries stopped. She looked just like me. She had my eyes, lips, and nose.
"Wuz up baby girl I'm your daddy" I said looking at her
"Eric baby I wanna hold her" said Mercedes
I gave the baby to her. Mercedes held her in her arms and rocked her.
"Mommy and Daddy picked out a good name for you" she said looking at her
My baby girl was so beautiful I felt blessed that the lord brought her to me.
