Unexpected Gift Ch. 10 ❤️👶🏼

"Dinah!" Lauren called helplessly into the packed room where her parents and the girls were. Usually, they only allowed four people in the room as labor progresses, but the hospital made an exception as to not draw attention into the waiting room.

They had placed Lauren in a private hospital room on the more secluded side of the birthing level, and both she and Dinah were really grateful for it. Sure, it wasn't the hospital room they were planning on getting, as there is an actual floor specifically for special cases, such as celebrities, but this was the next best thing.

"I'm right here, baby." Dinah reassured, taking her seat beside Lauren's bed and grabbing her hand. "I'm right here."

"It hurts so much." Lauren cried breathlessly. Her contractions were about 11 minutes apart, and her cervix not even 2 centimeters dilated. Dr. Klotz had warned them that the labor could take days from here on out, and from the way it was looking, Lauren would have to stick it out.

"I know, baby." Dinah sighed, leaning forward to rest her forehead against Lauren's. The tears hadn't stopped falling from Lauren's eyes since they'd induced her labor, and the emotions were getting to Dinah as well. "You're doing so amazing."

"You really are, mija." Clara coached, moving to the other side of her daughter and pressing her fingers into Lauren's lower back. "Just try to think about how much you're going to love him when he's finally here. He's going to be here really soon, and you'll know that all of this was worth it."

"He's worth it." Lauren nodded, sniffling to stop the tears.

"He is, Lo." Dinah let out a teary chuckle. "Our son is going to be here in just a little while."

Camila stood from her seat and made her way over to the end of Lauren's bed, leaving Ally, Normani, and Mike sitting in the chairs on the opposite side of the room. They tried their hardest to stay out of the way.

"Lolo, do you want anything from downstairs? Ice chips? Ice cream?" The young Cuban asked softly.

Lauren shook her head quickly and just as she went to speak, a contraction ripped through her once more. "OW, FUCK!"

Dinah allowed Lauren to grip onto her hands tightly while Clara reminded the girl to breathe steadily. The pain was searing only because the girl refused to have her epidural before she was over 6 centimeters dilated as it could potentially hurt her son.

Ally and Normani watched with wide eyes as Lauren's face contorted in pain while Camila stumbled back to her seat with tears in her own eyes.

"I've never seen her in pain before." Ally shook her head. "I don't like this."

The girls heard a soft sniffle from beside them and turned to see Mike with tears in his eyes. All three women cooed and surrounded the large man, cuddling him tightly.

"That's my babygirl." Mike shrugged. "She's in all this pain, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Don't worry, Papa J." Normani rubbed his arm. "She's strong, and before you know it your grandson will be here."

The thought made Mike's tears swell even more. "My grandson..."

"Oh, Papa J! Don't do this to us." Ally pouted, wrapping her arms around the man. "You're such a sap."

"I know." Mike chuckled. He glanced at the bed where Lauren was recovering from her contraction. She breathed in and out a few times while Dinah whispered something to here while running her hands over her face to wipe the sweat away. Lauren let a small smile grace her face before pressing a peck to Dinah's lips.

~XOXO~

"Babe, you need to get the epidural." Dinah pressed to her girlfriend who had just gotten through what had to be the fiftieth contraction. Lauren had been in labor for almost 10 hours, and the sun was peeking out over the buildings outside their window. Clara and Mike had gone down to the cafeteria to get some breakfast and the girls were passed out in the corner of the room.
