After the bell

75

"Shit this can't happen now Pey" Lana said helping me walk through to the living room my contractions was coming quick and fast "what should I do?" Lana asked panicked "should I boil water and get towels, shit Peyton don't make me deliver this baby, hold it in"

"Firstly your gonna ring Jon" I told her feeling another contraction coming "so calm yourself down and ring him!" I screamed as she pulls her phone out her pocket ringing him.

"Jon!" Lana screamed down the phone "you need to get back home now Peyton's in labor!" Lana shouted shaking with nerves as I cried in pain.

I stood bent over the couch with Lana rubbing my back "you need to ring my dad Lana, I think it's Debi's day off, if that road still closed off there's no way Jon's going to get me to the hospital"

Fifteen minutes later the front door opens and Jon rushes in over to me as I gripped onto the sofa as I screamed out in pain crying.

"Hey it's okay" Jon said pulling me close to him .

"Debi and your dads on there way" Lana said "is the road still shut off?" Lana asked Jon

"Was twenty minutes ago from what I heard" Jon said rubbing my back.

Ten minutes later my dad and Debi turned up Jon and Debi helped me to the bedroom while my dad rings the hospital seeing if the road was open yet.

"Okay Peyton I'm going to remove you pants and underwear, I'm going to see how dilated you are" Debi informed me as her and Jon helped me out my clothes before laying me on the bed

As I laid down I screamed out as I have a really strong contraction "there coming thick and fast" I hear Lana say from the door as Debi checks how dilated I was.

"Your at eight, your having this baby at home" she said standing up.

I look at Jon worriedly shaking my head "No! No! I need pain relief I can't do it without them!" I cried feeling my tummy tightening as another contraction comes I cry out grabbing Jon's hand.

"Breath through them" Jon said calmly like it was that easy.

"Breath through them? You breath through them! This is your fault!" I screamed at him as my contraction fades.

Debi walks in with towels "The road still blocked off, but there going to try and get paramedics through"

"Oh my god I need to push!" I shouted at Debi who sits on the end of the bed checking me.

"Okay Peyton your fully dilated, just do what you're body's telling you to do" she said.

I start pushing but I felt like it was useless I lay back on the bed shaking my head "I can't do it" i said looking at Debi.

"You was doing great, next contraction do it again" Debi said to me patting my knee.

The next contraction comes within minutes and I start pushing with everything I had
"Okay keep going I can see the head" Debi yelled at me I screamed out "okay Peyton the heads out" Debi said as she helps with delivering the shoulders and the rest of the baby.

I lay back on the bed as Debi lifts the baby on to me cutting the cord, the baby starts crying I look at it in shock as the bedroom door opens in rushed Lana and my dad.
"Shit you did it" Lana said disbelief in her voice

"What did you have?" My dad asked us walking over excitedly.

"I I don't know" I said shaking my head looking at Debi waiting for her to tell us,

"Have a look" she smiled I look at Jon who had shock all over his face

"Go on look" I smiled feeling myself tearing up

He looks under the white towel that Debi had wrapped the baby in he smiles at me kissing my head tears in his eyes.

"Well?" Lana asked him shifting impatiently on her feet.

"It's a girl" he smiled stroking the babies face gently "it's a girl" he cried kissing my face.

Five hours later I was sitting in bed with Jon we had been checked over by the midwife, baby and I was fine i was just sore and tired, the baby was healthy.

Lana had left a few hours ago as she had to get to her dads, My dad and Debi walked in standing there.

"Do you wanna hold your granddaughter?" I asked my dad.

"Hell yeah" he grinned walking over taking her gently out my arms.

"So has she got a name?" He asked us I look at Jon nodding my head.

"Go on you can tell them" I said resting my head on his shoulder.

"Madison" he smiled "Madison Larissa Bernthal"

"Hey there Madison" my dad said looking down at her.

"So I'm actually not sure if this is the right time or anything but I really wanna do this" Jon said getting up off the bed walking around past my dad and Debi who was fussing over the baby going to one of his jackets that was hanging up.

He walks over to me "I know its traditional to ask your dad for his permission beforehand asking for your hand in marriage ect but like I said I wanna do this now" Jon sits down on the bed holding a ring out to me "Peyton I love you I only need and want you, will ya marry me" He asked.

My eyes go wide with shock looking at him then to my dad who was smiling looking at Madison then to me.

"Say something Peyton" Jon said staring at me he looked extremely nervous.

"Yes cause I will" I smiled sitting forward kissing him.

Later that night I laid there looking at Jon as he slept with Madison on his chest, i realized at that point in my life I had everything that I ever needed or wanted, I just wondered what th future holds for us.
