the one

You did it

Ricky's p.o.v.

I woke up to a pain in my arm that I soon realized was a hand squeezing me. I look over and Ariana is holding onto my arm and crying. I sit up so I could look at her.

Ricky- baby what's wrong? Why are you crying?

Ariana- I think the baby's coming. I'm having contractions

Ricky- how far apart are they? If they are 5 minutes apart we need to go to the hospital

She looks at me with a confused expression.

Ricky- I read one of those baby books you bought

She started to have another contraction and I knew that it was time. I get out of bed and go into our bedroom. I grab some clothes for her and I put on my clothes. I run back into the other bedroom and help her get dressed. I get her bag that she has all the stuff for the hospital and help her downstairs.

Ariana- we need to call your mom

Ricky- I'll do that when we get to the hospital

We get into the car and I know I was going way over the speed limit. Her contractions in the car were starting to get further apart so I slowed down a little. One of Ariana's contractions just stopped and I see her getting her phone out.

Ricky- what are you doing?

Ariana- calling your mom. She needs to know that I am in labor now so she can get on an airplane and get here on time.

Ricky- well are you going to call your mom

Ariana- not yet. I don't want her to show up at the hospital and try to control everything

Ricky- isn't she in Florida?

Ariana- no she came back with me but she is staying with Frankie

She called my mom 3 times before she picked up. She started telling her that she was in labor and that she needs to hurry up and get here to see her grandchild. I can't believe that I'm going to be a father. I looked at the time that was on the radio and it's 2 am. She started to have another contraction and she hung up the phone. I reach over and grab Ariana's hand and she squeezes it digging her nails into my hand. The pain doesn't bother me because I know she's feeling worse.

We finally get to the hospital and her contractions started to get closer together again. I jump out of the car and run around to the other side to help her out. We slowly get into the hospital and get to the front desk where the nurse checks us in. She gets a wheelchair and pushes her to a private room with me following right behind her. I felt bad for her because she was in so much pain. We get to the room and me and the nurse help her get changed into the hospital gown.

Nurse- we are going to have someone come in here and check your cervix in a few minutes.

She helps her get comfortable in the bed then walks out. Her contractions were one right after the other. The doctor came in and looked at me then at Ariana.

Dr- I'm guessing you aren't doing too good today

Ariana rolled her eyes as she was wincing in pain.

Ariana- no I'm just perfect today. Thanks

Dr- well let's take a look at you cervix

He puts on his glove and checks.

Dr- well you are 5 centimeters so you still have awhile to go. If you can't take the pain we can get you the epidural.

Ariana- no. I don't want the epidural
