Her New Mommy

Epilogue

As soon as Cole and I had recovered from the initial shock of me being pregnant we immediately called my doctor and made an appointment. When we went we found out that I was about 7 weeks pregnant which means that it was during our honeymoon that Cole didn't wrap his present before going to the party. And now, here I am, now 9 months pregnant about ready to pop. We decided that we didn't want to know the sex of the baby until the birth of our baby. Cole was hoping for a boy while Jasmine and I were begging for another girl, we can't have an even number now can we? 

Throughout this whole pregnancy, Cole has been amazing with everything that I've thrown at him, literally and figuratively. Once, I was desperately craving ice cream and there I was 6 months pregnant with a giant spoon in my hand looking in the freezer for ice cream only to come up short. I screamed at the top of my lungs causing Cole to rush in and in my distressed state, I angrily threw the spoon at him. Another time I was so happy and in the mood to have sex that I literally almost jumped him when he came home from work, he had no complaints about that. Also, let's not forget about all the times I woke him up in the middle of the night to get me McDonald's and he did so without a complaint. 

I truly love that man. 

Currently, Cole, Jasmine and I are at Denny's eating breakfast because Cole got the day off and we decided to go out. Halfway through our meal, Jasmine said she needed to use the restroom so I got up slowly and held her small hand in mine as we made our way into the stall. As she was doing her business I felt something warm leak out and dismissed it thinking it was some leakage which is very common with being pregnant, but Jasmine's statement told me otherwise. 

"Mommy, if you needed to go pee you could've gone into the stall," she jokes. I look down and see that sure enough my maternity jeans are drenched and I just realized that my water broke. 

"Sweety, are you done yet? We have to go."

"Yeah mommy, let me just flush the toilet and wash my hands," she said and went to the sink. 

After she was finished I grabbed her hand and rushed her to Cole who was shoving a piece of bacon into his mouth. I laughed out loud when I saw his eyes widen and drop his hand causing the bacon to hang from his mouth. 

"Cole, it's time," I said smiling. 

He jumps out of his seat almost falling in the process and takes out his wallet pulling out 40 bucks and leaving it on the table before taking my hand and rushing us out of there. We've been prepared for a while now so we had a bag filled with clothes for the baby, which included diapers, and extra clothes for me as well, already in the car. I sat in the passenger seat and texted Andrea and Linda while Cole buckled in Jasmine. I immediately got a response from Andrea and Linda saying that they were on their way to the hospital. I looked over to tell Cole but then I noticed that his hands were shaking. I grabbed one and brought his knuckles to my lips, 

"Everything is going to be okay," I said quietly. 

We arrived at the hospital and I was put into a room immediately as we waited for my doctor to show up. I have been in labor for about 4 hours and I'm honestly getting a bit restless, I just want this baby out of me! 

"Hey baby, I brought you some Hot Cheetos," Cole said coming into the room. 

"Is she even allowed to eat them?" asked Andrea. 

"Yeah, I asked her doctor and he actually said that eating hot foods can speed up the process," he said handing me the bag of chips. I wasted no time and began eating the chips happily. 

*8 hours later* 

"GOD WHY CAN'T THIS BABY JUST GET OUT OF ME!" I exclaimed. It's currently been 12 hours and now am I not only restless but also angry.
