Chapter 34

We sat in the waiting room for hours on end. In the end, it was a total of nineteen hours, nineteen long hours of Colleen screaming and being in pain. Rachel, Chris and her parents had joined us in the waiting room, during Colleen's seventh hour of labour.

"People...it's a girl. seven pounds and two oz, a healthy baby girl." Josh announces as he comes into the waiting room.

"Congratulations!" I say as I walk up to Josh.

"You guys can all come in and see her." He announces and then leads us into the room where Colleen was sat up holding a baby.

"how are you feeling?" I ask walking up to her, then kissing her on the forehead.

"Tired but happy. Was I a screamer?"Colleen questions me.

"To be honest, yes but it is all worth it in the end," I say putting my arms out waiting for Colleen to place this tiny baby in my arms.

"Everyone meet Sienna Rachel Evans," Josh announces as Colleen places her in my arms.

"Sit Hartley down Chester," I command, he then places Hatty on the chair and then placed a cushion underneath.

I place the tiny baby on her lap.

"Baby." Hatty giggles, while holding her, she held so well, bear in mind she is one.

I took Sienna off Hatty and then gave her back to Colleen.

"We are going to go now, Hartley is tired, but we will see you tomorrow," I say kissing her and then Sienna.

And with that, we grabbed Hartley and her changing bag and head home. We get home within a few minutes.

"Say goodnight mommy, good night baby," Chester says heading for upstairs as Hatty waves her little hands at me.

"Goodnight baby girl," I say walking up to her and kissing her on the cheek and then sitting back on the couch waiting for Chester to come back.

"I can't believe in five months we will be there." I smile, rubbing my stomach.

"I know, I can't wait to meet this little man."

"Oh so it's a boy?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna get my son."

"I don't know, this one feels like a girl. It just feels the same like I did when I was pregnant with Hatty." I explain rubbing my bump.

"If it is another girl then I don't mind, I will have another little girl."

I tried to stay awake for as long as I could but I was shattered and I couldn't stay awake for much longer. I fell asleep on the couch.

SORRY ITS A SHORT CHAPTER I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO WRITE, THEN CHAPTER WILL BE LONGER.
