Epilogue: Bundle of Joy

"Calum!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. He came rushing into our room, staring at me as I stared at the puddle on the floor underneath me.

"Did you just.."

"No!" I shouted. "My water broke you idiot!"

"Holy.. Holy shit!" He shouted, running his hands through his hair in exasperation.

"Calum!" I shouted again.

"I.. Okay yeah! Let's go!" He cried out, racing out of the room before rushing back in and grabbing my hand. Being nine months pregnant sucked. I literally looked like I had swallowed one of those oversized bouncy balls. I couldn't move that fast, my feet always hurt and worst of all, I sometimes did pee my pants because I couldn't control my bladder which is why Calum nearly asked if that's what I had just done.

"Ella! Call my brother and my mom please!" I shouted to her as she rushed around, grabbing up the bag the two of us had prepared for this moment. She shoved it into Calum's hands, already calling my brother.

"Jake, get off your ass and meet us at the hospital." Code for, a human is trying to bust it's way out of Lily. I think I hear my brother shout something on the other end but Calum pulls me out the apartment and towards the steps.

"I hate this!" I complained as a contraction hit my body, making me want to double over in pain as I waddled down the steps.

"You're fine babe! Everything's fine!"

"Then why are you shouting?" I demanded.

"Because I'm freaking out!"

"You're not the one in pain!" I cried out, another contraction coming in full force. "And you better drive fast or I will have the baby in your damn car!" That was enough to get him to calm down a little. Ella ran out of the apartment, still on the phone. I assumed she was talking to my mom now because I could hear squealing on the other end of it and knew that couldn't be my brother unless he suddenly obtained a shrill high pitched voice.

"She's fine. We're taking her to the hospital." Ella said as she helped me into the car. "Just breathe honey." She told me before turning to Calum. "Do not drive like a maniac please." She's right, Calum could be kind of reckless, though I was a worse driver. He didn't drive like a complete maniac but I was too concentrated on how much pain I was in to care.

"I swear to god if you pass out Calum I will kill you!" I told him as a shocked look crossed his features.

"I'm sorry! But there's literally a human being coming out of you." He sputtered. Screaming, I gripped his hand tighter as the nurse continued to shout at me to push.

"Yeah, me. Not you." I said not daring to look down.

"Miss Karson I'm going to need you to focus here." My doctor told me as I groaned, feeling sweat drip down the back of my neck.

"Completely focused." I grunted. "How could I not be when there's something trying to bust its way out of me!" I pushed again, wondering how long this torture was going to last.

"You're almost there Lily. One more big push for me." Nurse Olivia commanded. Taking a deep breath, I pushed out again and heard a tiny cry of alarm coming from bellow me.

"It's a boy." Calum pulled down his surgical mask in awe. We had wanted to be surprised by its gender when the little demon finally escaped my womb. A boy how beautiful...

"Oh my god Lily." Calum whispered as I began to hear the baby scream. "He's beautiful." I laughed, already spent.

"Well yeah, look at you." I murmured feeling like I was about to pass out.
