Six Months Later

"Liam! Get me to the hospital now!" I shout. Today was the day. I was about to have my baby...and of course, Liam wasn't ready. I totally knew he wouldn't be.

"Miles, I'm going. Where's the hospital bag?" Then I point to the couch.

"Ya already grabbed it dumbass." I say.

"Where's the carseat?! I gotta put it in my car!" He exclaims.

"Dude! You already put it in like, two weeks ago!"

"Well excuse me for trying to be prepared."

"Liam, can we just go? Ow!" I say, grabbing my stomach.

"Okay, let's go." Then he grabs the hospital bag and runs out the door and shuts it before I get out. Then a few seconds later he comes in.

"Can't have a baby without the pregnant woman, you know." I say.

"Ha ha ha." Then he grabs my hand and helps me out the door and into his car.

"Ow! Hurry the fuck up!" I scream.

Then he gets in the driver's side and we buckle up before he starts the car and leaves the driveway. When we got to the hospital, Liam grabbed the hospital bag and helped me into the hospital. When I got into a room, I put on a gown, and got settled. I take a deep breath and let it out. Then Dr. Cooper comes in.

"Hello, Miley. How far apart are your contractions?" She asks after greeting me.

"Hi, they're- ow- about a minute apart. If dumbass would've driven any slower he would've had a child in his car." I say, then glare at Liam. Then Dr. Cooper sits in front of me and puts gloves on before checking me.

"You're about nine centimeters, and you're right. You would've had a baby in the car if he drove any slower. I'll be back soon. Call if you need me." Then she takes off her gloves, throws them away, then leaves.

"Why do you have to call me names and be like this?" He asks.

"Shut up." Then I grab my stomach. "Ow, holy fuck balls."

"Can't you have an epidural?"

"It's too late for that. This is going by really quick. Will you text everyone and tell them I'm in the hospital and there's about to be a new member of the family?" Then he nods and pulls out his phone to text everyone.

About three minutes later when he finally put his phone away and looked at me, I grabbed my stomach.

"What?" He asks.

"Get. Dr. Cooper." I say. "This baby's coming now!" Then he rushes out of the room and Dr. Cooper comes in with Liam about a minute later.

"Ready for this baby?" Dr. Cooper asks.

"Get this little fucker outta me now!" I scream. "I can't take it." I say, starting to cry. then Liam gets by my side and a couple nurses come in. I put my feet in the stirrups, and Liam grabs my hand.

"Okay, Miley. Push." Then I close my eyes and push hard while screaming. After a few pushes, the baby came out.

"It's a girl, Miley." Liam says.

"Oh, I see another head." Dr. Cooper says. "Looks like there's more than one."

"What?!" I exclaim.

"Push Miley, as hard as you can." She says. I pushed as hard as I could for what felt like forever, then more cries filled the room. "Another girl." She says.

"That's amazing." I say.

"Okay, Miley. Push."

"What the fuck?" I ask.

"There's another one?" Liam asks.

"How the hell did you not see this on the ultrasound?!" I shout, then push.

After a while, there were more cries.

"Push Miley." Dr. Cooper says.

"What?!" I exclaim again. This makes four. Then I push again. After a few more pushes, even more cries filled the room.

Then more cries filled the room. What the fuck? I say to myself. I didn't even push this time. This made five. I just gave birth to five babies. Then more cries filled the room about four more times. Nine fucking babies?! I can't even handle one! I say to myself. Then another cry filled the room. That makes ten.

"Please tell me that's it!" I beg.

"That's it, Miley. Congratulations on your ten babies." Then I start to cry.

"What Miles?" Liam asks. "Here." Then he hands me two babies, and he holds two.

"Ten?" I ask, then he nods.

"No!" I say. "No no no no no no!"

"Miles, Miles." Liam says.

"No...no no no no." I mumble.

"Miles." Liam says, shaking me. I sit up quickly, and look around. I look down and feel my stomach. I still had a very tiny baby bump. I look at my phone at the date and time. May 20th. 3:00 AM.

"Oh thank God." I say to myself.

"Care to explain to me what the hell's going on?" Liam asks.

"Ten. Ten babies. They- there were ten." Then I start to laugh like a crazy person. "Ha ha. Ten. There were ten. Ten babies. When there was only supposed to be one. Ha ha. They all came outta my vagina. Ha ha. Ten."

"Miley?" Liam asks, concerned.

"Liam. It was so realistic." I say.

"What was?" He asks.

"I had a dream where it was six months later, and I went into labor. It was a quick labor and delivery. Except there was a problem..."

"What was the problem?"

"There was ten babies that came out of me. Ten. I gave birth to ten babies. And you were cool with it, you weren't freaking out at all. They just kept coming and coming, I didn't think it was ever gonna stop!" Then he laughs. "What?"

"A classic pregnancy dream. A lot of women have this dream. It's completely normal." He says with a chuckle.

"Shut up. It was friggin scary as shit." I say, then Liam cuddles up to me then kisses my head.

"It just means you're a pregnant woman, having normal pregnancy dreams, being a healthy pregnant woman." Then he kisses my head again, and I turn towards him.

"Okay." I say, then kiss him on the lips. "I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep." Then he nods, and I close my eyes. Ten kids. Holy crap. I say to myself. Then I fall fast asleep.
