Our Never Ending Love..// Sam Pottorff

Chapter 38

Laila's POV

My mom and I are currently driving to the hospital. I had a doctors appointment yesterday, and was told the baby should be here any day now. And she was right my water broke about 3 hours ago, so it looks like the time is finally here! I'm nervous, but more excited. Jacob got back yesterday, he seemed scared as hell when I called him, but he texted me saying he's already there waiting for me. "Get ready honey! Your life is about to change in a few hours!" My mom says squeezing my hand.

"I'm so stoked!" She turns into the parking lot and goes closer to labor and delivery ward. My contractions are about 20 minutes apart. When I finally get into the elevator, it goes by slower than ever! But finally the doors open and I'm greeted with Jacob and wheel chair!

"Let's do this!" He says rolling me to the front desk. I check into the room we booked and they have me change and hook me up to an I.V.

"Ok Laila, now your about 5 centimeters dilated with contractions 25 minuets apart. We are going to give you some medication to speed up the process. That ok with you?" The nurse asks.

"Yeah! If it will make it quicker then yes. When can I get and epidural?"

"Now if you'd like. I'll get a nurse to come in and get you set up. You're baby girl will be here soon." She says walking out. Then a contraction hits.

"How you feeling?" Jacob asks.

"Ok right now, but I feel one coming on. Can you tell me if it's a big one?" I ask and he nods taking my hand in his.

"Is this ok?" I shake my head in reassurance. "Um, it looks like it's going to be big. Hold on tight. Squeeze my hand." He says looking at me and I do as I'm told. The contraction hits, it was a tough one.

"Hello, Whitesides right! Ok, ready for this epidural?" The nurse asks and I nod vigorously. "Ok let's get you up." He helps me and they go to work on my back. "Ok all done! You'll feel it in a bit!"

"Thank you!" I say as he walks out. "I'm going to get some sleep! I feel it hitting me now." I tell Jacob and he nods. "You should too."

"Ok." Is the last thing I remember him saying and I fall asleep.

About an hour later they come in and wake me up saying it's time to push. "Let's take you to the delivery room!" Jacob is already by my side and ready to go.

After 15 minuets, I hear a cry and I finally lay back. Jacob looks at me with a smile, I look to the nurses and they hand Jacob scissors and he cuts the cord. They take the baby and get her cleaned up. I see them walk towards me and hand me the baby. I look at her and start to cry.

"I love you!" I say looking at her with tears. "Jacob look at her!"

"I know I see her. She's so beautiful. We did good!" He says running his hand over my head and then touches her cheek.

"We are going to take her and clean her up completely then bring her back for her first feeding. We'll do bottles for today. Go up and get some rest you're going to need it mom." The nurse tells me and I nod. I sit back and Jacob looks at me.

"We have a daughter!" He says excitedly.

"Yeah I know." I say smiling.

Two days later they let us go home, Jacob takes me back to my house. We came to an agreement that he can stay over for a few days. He still made payments on the apartment. Which meant I didn't pay anything accept for my groceries. He moved the car seat to his truck which I was really surprised by. He's trying I'll give him that much.
