Once

I can't do it

Chapter 27

Maggies POV
Glenn helped me up and we slowly made our way out of the bathroom. I was slowly inching my way until I felt another contraction. I stopped and put my hands loosely around his neck with my head hanging down low. I felt as his arms went around my waist and I was breathing in and out slowly.

The contraction only lasted for about 40 seconds and then we were moving again. We almost made it the the stairs but I had to stop again. We stood in the same position. This contraction was similar to the last one but it was stronger and lasted a little longer.

We finally made it into the infirmary where I saw Logan, Carol, Beth, and Dad.

I smiled and then another contraction rippled through my body. I stopped and we stood in the same position again. I must have been griping onto Glenn a little harder than I meant to because I heard him say,"Holly hell." 

Dad laughed and said,"Son that's nothing Maggie is strong. You have a lot in store for you when she goes into full out labour."

Finally it stopped and I went and sat on the bed and Carol had me change into a gown. She stepped out and Glenn helped me change.

I saw him smile and I looked at him and said,"Yeah stare at the fat lady."

He shook his head and said,"No I'm just taking it all in. This is one of the last times I will be seeing you pregnant with our baby. Pretty soon she'll be here."

I smiled but that quickly went away as I felt yet another contraction I remained quiet and Glenn rushed over. We stood the same way and he didn't seem to care that I was only in my bra and underwear.

Carol came in and looked at me,"Here Maggie let me help you. It seems that Glenn just wants to stare at you." I giggled.

I quickly slipped into the gown and started to walk around in the little room in attempt to move labour around a little bit faster.

Three hours later

Now I have been in labour for only four hours and it was starting to hurt a lot more. When I was having Logan, I never screamed maybe just let out a little grunt here and there but never screamed.   

I saw Logan come in the room and I smiled. "Hey baby." I said and ran my fingers through his hair.

"Hey momma can I read to the baby one last time before she is born?" He asked and I nodded.

I nodded at Glenn and he came over and lifted Logan on the bed and sat with us. As Logan was reading I felt another contraction and reached for Glenn. I was breathing faster than normal and Logan stared to freak out.

"Whats happening to her dad? Is she okay?" He asked and started to cry.

"Yeah I'm okay baby." I said in the middle of my contraction. It finally died down and Logan was looking at my belly.

"Why does the baby hurt you? I didn't hurt you did I?" He said and started to look worried.

"No Logan don't worry. I have to do this to get your baby brother or sister so you can be a big brother." I said and he looked at me weird.

"No I am already a big brother. Remember Paisley? She comes to see me all the time." He said happily.

I looked at Glenn started to tear up,"She does?"

He looked me in the eyes and said,"Oh momma she is just beautiful. I wish that she could be her with us though."

"So do I baby." I said and hugged him.
