Tú y Yo (Prince Royce)

Chapter 34- Tengo Miedo

*Avadele's POV*

When you're in severe pain nothing is good enough for you.

Looking back, I feel so bad for the way I treated Bryan while I was in labor.

"Could you please drive faster?", I asked him impatiently as we made out way to the hospital.

Bryan was completely calm despite the situation and replied patiently. "Ill try and go as fast as I can, Ava. Trust me, if I could go any quicker I would. I hate seeing you suffer like this."

Any other day I would've really appreciated his words but right now I was just ready to get this over with. I needed to have this baby. People always say that contractions hurt, but I didn't know they'd hurt this bad.

Bryan obviously noticed my pain. Still keeping his eyes on the road and one hand in the steering wheel, he reached over and took my hand in his. He gave it a little squeeze to reassure me. "I know it hurts, Ava. But trust me, you're a strong girl. You can do this."

"Tengo miedo...", I whispered.

"I know you're scared, Ava. But you have to be strong. You can do this.", He repeated.

He didn't let go of my hand until we made it into the parking lot of the emergency wing.

I was crying hysterically now. This was all becoming to real, I thought as Bryan helped me walk inside. And the one guy who I wanted to be here most wasn't here.

He sat me in a chair farther away front he rest of the patients waiting. "Stay here, I'll sign you in."

I wasn't sure if he knew all my personal information but he seemed to have no problem.

I couldn't have been waiting for more than five minutes. I was in one of those stages in between contractions, the ones where you're still in pain but it's not unbearable. I looked around at all the sad an terribly injured patients around me. There were other women in labor there too, in a way worse state, screaming and crying loudly. Maybe I wasn't acting like that due to my high tolerance of pain I didn't know, but either way I was just getting more nervous.

Bryan was back by my side within a few minutes. "There coming over with a wheel chair for you in a bit. YOu ready?"

I nodded. I was as ready as I'd ever be. I put my head on Bryan's shoulder and waited. I knew I was squeezing the hell out if his hand but he didn't seem to care.

The nurses came over a few minutes later, got me situated and got ready to wheel me away.

"Good luck, Ava.", He said sweetly. "You can do this." Then he leaned over and kissed me on the forehead.

I didn't get the chance to to say anything before I was wheeled away. The trip through the hallway seemed never ending. White walls, blue tile floors and various doors reading different numbers. That's all I saw.

Soon, they took me down a hall labeled "Maternity ward."

Then it really hit me. I was going down there because I was about to give birth. I was about to become a mother.

Three excruciatingly painful hours later, it was time.

I knew I was ready because the doctor gave me a knowing nod.

Nurses came over and adjusted the epidural that was in my back and then one grabbed my hand.

"Are you excited?", she asked me, with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Excited to get this over with.", I managed to joke, through the pain.

Everything was in slow motion after that. Until, a few minutes later, I heard a cry.

A baby's cry.

My son's cry.

A wave of relief rushed over me when I realize it was all over with. I had just given birth. I just brought another human being into this world.

On December 4, At 5:26 PM, Alexiel Royce Rojas was brought into this world.

And all I could do was cry.

*wipes away tears of joy* Well, there you go.

Maybe I should do a double update today ?
