"We'll be fine, Adaline" Noah assured her.
What else could he say? Noah turned his head towards the road wondering whether there was a way he could move the tree blocking the road.
Noah's attention was quickly turned back to Adaline when he heard her gasp. He looked in her direction and saw that she was surrounded by a puddle of water.
He moved to her, and out of sheer panic and adrenaline scoped her up in his arms, and moved her onto the grass beside the car.
"My wife is in labor, you must get us from out here now!!" Noah yelled down the phone but just as he did the phone call ended.
"My phone has no signal" Noah stated as he noticed his phone bleep and he tried to hold it up but nothing worked.
"Try..mine..ugh" Adaline said through breaths as she pointed to her phone in the car in her handbag.
Noah grabbed her phone but hers was just the same, they were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no signal and Adaline was going into labor.
They were both truly frightened now.
...
Hours had passed and they were still stuck in the middle of nowhere with no signal.
Noah held Adaline as she cried into this chest. He sat them down up against the car side away a bit from where her water broke.
Noah sat with his legs apart and Adaline sat in the middle of them and leaned against his chest. He held her hands in his and tried to comfort her, hoping the emergency crew that he had struggled to just about call would somehow get to them before she delivered.
Adaline screeched when she felt a sharp contraction in her belly. She took her hand out of his and held her belly.
"This baby is coming now," Noah told Adaline.
He got up from behind her, held her back, to support her as he moved out. He took off the thick sweater he had been wearing and folded it into a pillow to place behind her back.
"No!" Adaline sobbed out
"She can't come here, I can hold on" she added.
"You can't hold her in, she's coming now Adaline" Noah moved in front of her.
"I don't know what to do!" Adaline yelped when another contraction hit.
Noah tried his best to comfort Adaline.
"It'll be okay..it'll be okay we can do this, we- we watched the videos we saw how they did it" Noah said trying to stay calm but inside he was freaking out just as much as Adaline.
He lifted her loosely fitted maternity dress up to her belly. Then he gently removed her underwear and pulled her bent knees apart.
"It should happen naturally, your body will want you to push," he explained, remembering what the midwife had said on the show.
"You can do this," He tried to comfort her. It hurt him to see her so distraught.
Another sharp contraction radiated through Adaline's body
"I cant, I can't," She bawled and shook her head. She was in far too much pain to think at this moment.
"Adaline, I am right here, darling, please. We can do this together" Noah reached out and cupped her cheek.
She looked at him through her tear filled eyes, and watched him nod at her. She focused on his face, his beautiful eyes, and regained as much composure as was possible in her current state.
She let out another sharp cry when she had another contraction. This time, her body had an irresistible urge to bear down.
"That's it, love," He said, sensing the change in her mood. He held her knees apart and told her to push.
Adaline's face crumbled, but she pushed with all her might.
"Her head is out," Noah announced and placed careful hands on top of it
"Don't give up, one more big push, that is all we need love. We're almost there, just one more big one," he coached, and made the loud breathing sounds that he remembered when Adaline dragged him to a pregnancy class.
He was against the class at first, because he believed they would be okay on their own. In this moment, when he was alone with Adaline who was scared and senseless, he was glad he had a method to keep her centered.
Adaline clamped her eyes shut and focused on her breathing. She focused on an image of Noah in her head his bright eyes, dimpled cheeks, and the way he bites his lip when he is happy and the slightest bit nervous at the same time. She wondered if their daughter would bite her lip in the same fashion.
With all the strength she had left, she pushed as hard as she could.
"That's it, she's out!" Noah gave her a turn smile and held their new baby close to him
"You did it!" he stated.
Adaline couldn't believe what she had just done. Instinctively she held out her hands, wanting to hold the new life they had just delivered.
Noah, gently placed the newborn in her arms, then he took off the t-shirt, he had been wearing. Then he gently, removed his sweater out from behind Adaline, and eased his way behind her so she could lean against his bare chest for support. He covered the swaddled baby in her arms with his sweater.
"I love you," Adaline spoke softly to him.
"I love you, both of you," Noah returned, he put his face in the crook of her neck and closed his eyes for a moment. He just needed a minute to come to the realization what had just happened.
