The Past (scirstie)

Nineteen

~Scott~

The emergency delivery scenes in the movies were nothing compared  to what happens in real life.

"My girlfriend, she's having a baby!" I shouted once I got in, panicking more than I ever had in my entire life. 

It was a good thing we were celebrities, because the line for a doctor was really long, but everyone's attention was on us once I shouted.

Kirstie panted loudly and groaned once a contraction kicked in. A nurse immediately got a wheelchair and brought us to our reserved hospital room. We were supposed to be using it next week, but things got out of the schedule.

Scarlett was dropped off at Avi and Mitch's house, who was more than willing to take her in. 

"Shoot. Scott it's- OW! " Kirstie screamed, clutching her stomach.

The nurse put an IV on my girlfriend's hand, who has calmed down.

"I wasn't expecting you to deliver early." Dr. Gibbins stated once she entered the room. She put a mask on and asked Kirstie some maternal questions.

"We just had an ultrasound yesterday and none of your babies are breech. Do you want to have a vaginal or cesarean birth?"

"Vaginal." Kirstie muttered, her face scrunched up, trying to not react to the pain. 

"Okay, let's just check how many centimeters dilated are you. Place your legs on these and keep them open." She said before putting on gloves and checking.

"Ooh, this is unusual. You're already at 7 centimeters. Okay, nurses stay alert and attend to her every need. I'll just make sure a delivery room is vacant." 

Once she was out the door I took out the camera from the hospital bag and started to record.

"We had no idea this was going to be happening this early, but here we are." I whispered to the camera, then pointing it to Kirstie who was tired and makeup-less in the hospital bed.

I stand up and come closer to my girlfriend, who immediately grasped my hand and squeezed it tight, closing her eyes.

"Contraction." She whispered. She then opens her eyes then smiles slightly, waving her hand.

I kiss her cheek. "I'm sorry I put you into this." I said.

"I'm nine months pregnant with twins which were totally unplanned, and only now you apologize?" She said in a joking manner, smiling as she said those words with her eyes closed. 

I chuckle and kiss her soft lips. "But you're excited."

"Heck yeah, I am."

She then groans, clutching onto her stomach. "Please.Stop.Hurting!" She said, almost screaming. "This is way too much." She complained, rolling around her hospital bed.

I frown, taking her hand and placing it on mine. "Hey, just squeeze it when you're hurting. I want to help." I said, reassuring her and kissing her messy blonde hair.

She nodded in the middle of a groan. "I-" She said, her voice cracking. A tear slipped from her eye. "It hurts so much." She cried. 

"Hey," I said. "Honey, do you want me to call a doctor?" I asked. She nodded her head vigorously before letting go of my hand so I could go.

"Kirstin, hold my hand," I told her as she sat up, the nurse getting ready to give her epidural. "Squeeze it when it hurts," I said.

"It will." She groaned in frustration. I smile.

There were two cameramen with cameras (obviously) to record the labor journey. They closed up on Kirstie and I, recording this scene.
