Tie Me Round

Chapter:27

Calgary stampede
July

I pulled into the arena having trouble getting out. Shane ran over and helped me out. Brody's being extremely active for the past hour. "Hey baby girl. How are you?" I'm guessing he saw the pain in my face.

Something went down my leg. My water just broke. "Time." I said trying to stand. "It's time for Brody." I said as a contraction rippled through my body.

Shane helped me into the car and hurried to the hospital. My baby born in Alberta Canada. Once we got there Shane helped me out and inside. Didn't tell anyone about the baby, Marty Yates knew about the baby but no one else.

I was placed in a delivery room with Shane next to me. Our son is about to be born, he said he didn't want to miss the birth of our first child and he won't.

After an hour of being hooked up to machines and taking some medicine to help dull the pain Brody was about to come out.

Shane's POV
My son is about to be born with me in the room. Grace was restless when I ran out to meet her. She still is and I don't blame her. I held her hand and told her she was doing a great job.

A baby cry filled the room as the doctor helped deliver our son. "The baby's stuck. The umbilical cord knotted its self inside." Grace took a deep breath and had to rest for a second. She dropped my hand and I went to see if I could help.

He was stuck halfway in. They gave me gloves and I carefully untangling the cord on my half born son. "Come on baby girl I need you to push." I told Grace. She took a deep breath and pushed. Brody James came out and into my hands. I cut the cord and let a nurse take him.

They got him cleaned up and handed him to me. He stopped crying as I walked over to my beautiful wife. She was almost asleep as I walked over. He was so tiny in my arms.

Grace took him and fed him after everyone left the room. We had no diapers, clothes or even blankets. The only diaper we had was the one on him.

Grace fell asleep with Brody in her arms and him snuggled up to her. He was born in the morning before Calgary started. I picked him up and held him against my chest as he slept peacefully.

My name was on his wrist. He had my nose, my mouth, ears and possibly over time my facial structure. When Grace woke up I told her I was going to get a car seat and a few other things.

She nodded and I went out to the car. I went to Walmart and got a car seat for him, a box of new born baby diapers. They had their rodeo onesies out so I got a few for him.

I got a few blankets and a car seat then paid for the stuff and hurried out to the car. I set the car seat up and put the rest in the back seat next to it.

I went back to the hospital to see if my wife and son could be released. After an overnight stay the three of us were able to leave. I carried my sleeping son out to the car and put him in his car seat.

I came out a few minutes before to cool the car down so it wouldn't be so hot. Tuf and I switched spots so I could stay with my wife and son for the night. Grace got into the back seat with him and I drove to the arena.

Grace's POV
Shane pulled into the stampede corral arena. I unhooked the car seat and Shane carried him to the trailer. "Marty should be out with Hanly. He said he was going to propose close to the time Brody was born." Shane told me.

Luckily I had the diaper bag in the trunk. I put diapers, the cute onesies my awesome husband picked out, blankets and baby wipes in the bag. I took it into the trailer and set it next to Shane's bag.

I picked up my baby and held him close. Then I smelled something stinky. I checked his diaper and it was him. Shane automatically took him and changed the diaper for me and quickly.

He handed Brody back to me and I went to feed him. I heard voices as I Brody and got one of the blankets I had next to me. I covered my baby up and went to see who it was. Hanly and Marty were sitting next to each other on the pull out couch.

Both were smiling. I noticed the ring on Hanly's left hand and knew Marty had proposed. "Hey Grace." Hanly said noticing me. I hugged her and readjusted the baby under the blanket.

"Is that Brody?" She asked. I nodded and felt him get still. He let me go and rested on my breast. I fixed my shirt and put my arm under him. He squirmed a little. I burped him and sat down next to Shane.

I let them see our baby boy. Shane put his arm around me and held me close. He kissed my cheek and I laid my head on his shoulder. Brody fell asleep in my arms as we talked about how last night went.
