Falling for Finn

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

October 4th, the day before the due date. And that baby, was sure ready to come out.

"FINN!" I scream, I was in the bedroom while Finn was in the bathroom, brushing his teeth. He knew what was up.

"ASHLEY, STAY CALM. LETS GET YOU DOWN TO THE CAR". He screams. Yes, we have a car. But it's a two door car, with a loud engine and we feel no need to use it.

"HURRY!" I yell. The pains were horrible. It felt like someone had just thrown bricks down there.

Finn pics me up, bridal style, and carries me out the door. Considering it was one in the morning, I stopped screaming until we got into the car. Which he put me in the passenger seat with the seat pushed down so I could lay there.

The hospital was right at the corner, and we got there. He picked the closest parking spot, and he held my hand, as I was crying in pain.

We go up to the front desk, and Finn tells them. They let me in right there.

Once I'm on the hospital bed, I am calming down. Taking deep breathes.

"Please, call Abby and Allie" I tell Finn, in between breathes. He nods and I clench my jaw. This was horrendous pain and I have no idea how people actually go through this.

Suddenly, a nurse comes in. She instructs me how the birth is going to happen, and what to do.

Then it's time to push. There are two nurses, one holding on of my legs, Finn holding the other one.

"Okay, when I count to three, push as hard as you can for me" the one holding my left leg says.

"Okay"

"1, 2, 3"

I push as hard as I can. I can't do this.

"Good job!" She tells me. I'm sweating and I'm closing my eyes.

"1, 2, 3"

I push again, this time, it doesn't hurt as bad, but it hurt. It felt like I was being burned alive, literally.

"Okay one more time. She's almost out."

"1, 2, 3"

I push, and I hear a baby crying. No way.

Finns gazing at the baby, his face is glowing. He looks at me.

"You did it!" He exclaims, happier than I've ever seen him.

"I did" I am out of breathe.

"We'll wash little India off, and then she can go to mommy" the second nurse says, after cutting the umbilical cord.

"Okay" I reply. I have so many emotions right now, I just had my baby. My baby girl. India Noel.

When the nurse returns, India is wrapped in a pink blanket, and she is sound asleep. My eyes widen, and I am smiling. This is my baby, my very own.

"We will leave you too alone" one of the nurses tells us, as her and the other one leave and shut the door behind them.

"This is the most amazing thing" Finn says, looking at India.

"I know" I reply, smiling. I lightly touch her cheeks with the side of my index finger. She's so peaceful.

"India Noel Hayes" he declares, his voice getting softer as he says the last name.

Probably one of the most remarkable days of my life. India, was born. My beautiful girl, she's my own.

In the morning, I woke up to Allie and Abby. They came into the hospital room with balloons and a gift basket.

"Hey guys" I greet, yawning.

"Where's India?" Abby asks, and I hold India so she is propped on my lap, and laying down.

"She's so adorable" Allie says.

"I know" I look down at India. She is asleep, and I try not to wake her.

"You did it, Ashley" Abby looks at me, giving me a "proud mother" look.

"I did" I let out a half laugh. She's right, I did it.

I really did it.
