Liz Whats Wrong With You?

Completely Breathtaking

Struggling to sit up, I panicked, patting at the soaked bed sheets wildly. My heart raced in my chest as I sat there in the dark, panting. Did I just pee myself? Really? I thought I taught my bladder better than that. I wiggled out of the sheets and waddled to the bathroom, flicking the light on before starting to strip. Pain shot through my stomach and I gasped loudly, doubling over in pain as an unearthly groan escaped my throat.

"Liz...Everything alright? Where are you?" Alex's voice traveled to me through the cracked door and I steadied my breathing for a split second before I was hit again with more pain.

"N-no. Alex wa-wake Hunter u-u-up NOW!" Placing my hand on the sink, I sat down on the edge of the tub, listening as Alex's frantic footfalls rumbled down the hall. After five minutes Hunter appeared in the doorway, drowsy eyes lazily studying me.

"What's going on? I need every detail and spit it out fast." She replied, setting down beside me as Alex wet a rag. He handed it to her and she dabbed at the sweat beads forming on my forehead. I winced again.

"I woke up, thinking I had peed myself in my sleep again. When I got to the bathroom a jolt of pain just shot through me. It was so overpowering. Then I noticed I wasn't wet with urine... It was mucus like." I wheezed out and she averted her gaze to Alex.

"Get the car ready. She's having the baby tonight. I'll wake up Rian and Zach to make sure Braylee and Darcy are okay if they wake up since Harry is gone for the week. You call Andy and Jordan. Only them. Got it? Now Lizzy, breathe okay? Everything is going to be perfectly fine." She took control of the situation like it was a normal, everyday thing. Giving me a small smile, she stood and helped me out of the bathroom. "Lets get you cleaned up first." She added sweetly. Hunter really stepped in as my mother figure after mom and dad died, even being the same age as me she had always been more mature in that field. 

She helped me to the car after doing her little round about, with help from Jack and gave Darcy a kiss before getting in the car with me. She looked back at me with sympathy in her eyes.

"I feel bad that I woke Darcy up. I guess she'll be fine though. How are you holding up?"

"Feel like Izzy is giving mama a hard time." I laughed, using what little breath I had left from all the sharp breaths I had been taking. "I'm ready to get this over with."

"You ready?" Alex asked , sliding himself in the drivers seat and shutting the door. He turned to face me, eyes full of a mixture of excitement and fear. I knew panic was practically written across my forehead. Alex reached a hand back, caressing my cheek before mustering a reassuring smile. "You've got this."

The whole ride to the hospital was a painful experience for both me and Hunter. The contractions killed me and Hunter winced more than once at my death grip. Sitting in that car with three of the most important people in my life made my mind race though. Where do I go from here? New baby, new responsibilities. What if Hunter left me? I can't deal with losing my best friend. And Alex.... Lord did I have a lot to think about with him.

I depended on him for more than one thing. I couldn't begin to imagine what I'd do if he wasn't with me. Laying in this hospital bed with him beside me offered enough reassurance that he'd stay. But what if he left for tour.... Never came back. Accidents like car wreck or even something as simple as catching the flu kills millions. Who's to say Alex wouldn't be one. Or myself for that matter. Just as another contraction hit, Dr. Valerie came in.

"Are you ready to start pushing Mrs. Gaskarth?"

"No." I replied, honestly not ready. She laughed and checked the chart one last time. Hunter grabbed my free hand.

"Well, it's time to become a mommy. When I say push, you push. One, Two, Three, Push."

I screamed out, vulgarities slipping freely from my mouth as my muscles tightened and I ripped. The intensity ached, pulsing through my back. I had a tight hold on Alex's hand, ignoring the sweet things he was whispering to me. I pushed again, squeezing my eyes shut and gnawing at my bottom lip. Sweat beads trickled down my neck as I whimpered at the agony that tortured my body. She instructed me to push again and I obeyed, arching my back slightly to numb the pain and failing. 

"Congratulations guys, it's a girl." She chirped and I closed my eyes again, my head rolling to the side. I struggled to breathe evenly and found it hard to smile when Alex kissed my forehead. Opening my eyes, I stared into his energetic brown ones with hope. Finally relaxing my muscles I was able to think straight.

"We did it." I whispered, watching a tear falling freely down his cheek. I had never seen Alex cry until now.

"Yea, we did it." He replied in the same hushed tone. I looked up at Hunter as she helped them clean Izzy up with a wide smile painted over her face. Once they bundled her up, Hunter started across the room toward me, handing Izzy to me. I stared down at this beautiful baby, love radiating in her crystal eyes. It was breath taking.

"What's her name?" Dr. Valerie spoke up finally.

"Isabelle Dimitri Gaskarth."
