The Art of Wasting Time ~ g.d.

Violet:

"I need you to stay calm. Your daughter is coming early." The doctor says trying to keep me from freaking out.

I try and remain calm but all of this is too much. She's gonna be two weeks early and I don't know what will happen to her.

"You need to relax as best as you can while we wait until it's time." He says referring to the fact that I'm not entirely ready to give birth.

"Jesus." I say throwing my head back with a groan. Grayson moves my sweaty hair off of my forehead.

"This is so stupid." I groan. Now I'm pissed. I want the baby out now.

"Shh it's okay. Just relax for a little." Grayson murmurs. "Does it look like I'm in any state to relax?" I snap. I'll feel bad for that later because he's just trying to help but right now the pain is pissing me off.

He holds my hand as I take deep breaths in and out. Nothing's helping my pain.

Soon the doctor comes back in and decides that it's time. He didn't really explain much to me he just said that the baby is sitting extremely low and is basically ready to come.

I let out a deep breath before we begin. We've been here for 4 hours already and it's been the most painful 4 hours of my life.

Giving birth was hard but seeing my baby was so rewarding. She was beautiful but we couldn't hold her due to her being born so early. They had to take her and she'll probably have to stay at the hospital for a while.

Before they took her Grayson and I blurted out the name we had finally agreed on a couple of days ago. Natalie Renae Dolan.

I glance at Grayson to see him smiling. "What's up with you?" I chuckle half heartedly. "Nothing. It's just crazy that she's finally here." He shrugs.

I lay back in my bed as I try and keep my eyes open. In a way I'm relieved due to the insane amount of pain but another part of me just wants to see my baby.

I keep myself up as long as possible so I can enjoy Grayson's presence.

"Go to sleep princess. I'll be here when you wake up." He murmurs as I glance at the clock. It's currently in middle of the day and I can't keep myself awake.
