Life Goes On || g.d

[42] June 12th

✱Naima's p.o.v ✱

It's currently the morning of June 12th and still no baby in sight. The contractions are getting harder every minute but we can't start the labor yet.  I'm still sharing a room with other women, but those women is getting wheeled away for labor. So I've shared it with several.

But I just can't understand why my baby won't come out! It's getting to me to see the others being wheeled away while I'm stuck in all this pain. I just want to see my baby girl.

"How are you feeling sweetie?" Lisa (a/n Dolan) suddenly comes in to the room and comes to my side.

"Not too well, I just want to see my baby girl now" I sigh and rub my big belly. Lisa takes my hand and squeeze it lightly.

"I know exactly what you mean. Just remember, it's all going to be worth it in the end" she says and I simply nod. I know that she's right, but the pain is killing me.

As on cue, the pain comes back. But this time it's different, I feel my lungs being filled so that I can't breath. It feels like I'm drowning in my own body. I gasp for air but nothing. I let out a high pitched squeak but my lungs won't let me continue. My throat gets blocked and I feel myself flying away. I lose control.
The last thing I see before everything goes black is Grayson's eyes, filled with panic.

✱ ✱ ✱

My eyes flicker and I feel them opening, but I'm not quite with them.
I can see different hands all over my body and me, laying in a hospital bed. Wait, why am I at the hospital? I can't remember anything, the last thing I remember is going to sleep at home.

I look down at my belly and I realize that it's smaller, where the hell is my baby? Even though my sight isn't perfect, I'm sure that I can't see Grayson. And for sure no baby. I have no clue what's happening and I'm scared.

"Where's my baby?" My voice is cracking and the nurses and doctors looks surprised when they hear me. For a second they turn all the attention to me, still eyes wide open. I can see one nurse going out of the room, but why?

"You went unconscious due to all the hard pressure your body had to go through, it's currently 9 p.m" what? I know for a fact that I went to sleep after 9p.m so this has to be another day. But I don't care, my baby is gone.

"Is my baby fine?" I ask more sternly this time, all I care about is the baby. I can't stand myself if I lost her.

"We had to get the baby out of you, we were forced to perform emergency caesarean" before I can take it in, the door opens revealing Grayson.

But what's in Grayson's arms is what interests me. My eyes water when I see the baby he's holding tight as he comes over to me. She's so small, but the feeling I get when I see her is indescribable.

"Please say that's our baby" I plead with tears rolling down my cheeks but Grayson quickly wipes them away. When the doctors realize that I'm fine, they leave us alone.

"She's all ours, she's so beautiful" Grayson places her on my chest before giving me a kiss. I place my arms around her tiny body and the tears starts falling again.

"I can't believe that she's here. But what happened?" The nurses didn't give me quite the answer I wanted, maybe Grayson will give me more.

"It was the scariest moment of my whole life, they basically had to cut you open to save the little one's life. But now she's here, and I already love her. She looks so much like me" he sits down by my side as I swing her from side to side.

"I'm sorry I put you through that" I apologize to him and give our baby a kiss on her forehead. I'm surprised how quiet she is. "Is she healthy?"

"I'm just glad that both of you are here now, and Naima believe me, she's perfect" he leans in to kiss me, but gets interrupted by a door opening.

In marches Grayson's parents, Ethan with Jennifer and Cameron with Julian. I'm so happy they are here, I had no clue. I know how busy especially Ethan and Jen is now, they are both shooting movies.

"Are we interrupting anything?" Cameron asks lightly and I shake my head before I dry the last tears off of my cheeks.

"Nope, were just enjoying her company" Grayson says and looks down at the baby I'm holding tight.

"But please tell me that the liquid things on your cheeks is happy tears" Jennifer chuckles and I join her.

"It's only happy tears, I promise you"

"Can I hold her?" Cameron asks and I nod. She stretches her arms out and I gently place her in Cameron's arms. I see in Cameron's eyes that's she's really happy, and that makes me happy.

"Mind telling us who Cameron is holding?" Ethan smirks curiously and I laugh.

"Guys, this is Elsea Pearl Dolan"
