—JANE—

Ever since the Met Gala I've never been more anxious, especially since it was the first time I've encountered Shawn since last year. But thankfully, he hasn't called since. But, that could be a bad and a good thing. It's bad because he could be—and probably is—plotting against Gray and I. It's good because it doesn't give me stress because that would be bad and send me into early labour.

Today is my due date but I'm not experiencing contractions. I confessed to Grayson about my anxiety for this baby but he reassured me everything would be okay. We haven't said anything to our doctor yet because we think this baby might come a little later.

It's 6:00 in the afternoon and to ease my stress about giving birth soon Grayson decided to play some board games while we eat our dinner. Our chef, Eric, has made us some amazing parmesan chicken and coloured rotini pasta.

Our whole staff is watching me annihilate Grayson in the game of UNO. We've played so many times I've gotten bored and I've had Penny and Piper play on my behalf sometimes.

I sigh before taking another bite of my Parmesan chicken and pasta and having a sip of my water. "Do you really think I'll be fine? I mean, it's my first time having a kid and I just hope I'll be fine along with our baby girl." I tell him as I put down a card into the pile. "Uno." I blurt out seeing as how I have one card left. I see Grayson roll his eyes and he draws a card from the deck and turning to me. He holds my hands in his and looks into my eyes with a soft look.

"You're going to be fine, I promise. Our little girl will be more than okay, just don't stress about it. Remember? And if anything happens I'm always gonna be by your side. Remember, we have a plan: when you start having contractions I'll prep the car and call your mom, Annie, Ethan, Natti, and Josh. I'm gonna have Asher and James come with and George will drive, like always. We've got everything under—" Just then I feel water trickle down my pants as we're sitting on the floor in the living room. Fuck.

"Grayson," I cut him off and he looks at me slightly concerned. "It's happening." I say barely above a whisper as I feel my contractions starting. Tears well up in my eyes and Grayson is frozen for the time being.

"Sir, I think we should start moving. Madame Jane is starting to go into labour." James tells Grayson and he can't seem to move. I turn to James as I begin gasping for air.

"Call... everyone a-and start th-the damn ca-car. Now." I say in a firm voice and Penny and Piper help me up and get me quickly dressed. Asher grabs my packed bags from the closet and we move swiftly down the stairs, out of the house, and into the car. Grayson joins us shortly, and when he does, George makes no hesitation and immediately drives off in the direction of the hospital.

The entire drive there I was having laboured breathing as I was crying and screaming, all courtesy of my contractions.

Once we made it to the hospital and got checked into a room, my doctor checked how wide I was. I'm about three centimeters and I need to be ten. Seven more centimeters to go i guess.

Suddenly, someone barges into my room and I go into complete panic as i begin thinking the worst. My worries are put aside when I see my mom and Natti. "Jane, my baby girl, how are you? Oh my gosh, I'm going to cry!" Mom says and she rushes to my side and gives me a brief hug, Natti doing the same.

"Mom, I'm going to be fine. We have everything under control and—" I cut myself off by screaming from the contractions. I keep crying. "Get this baby outta me!"

"It's okay, c'mon," Natalia helps me keep my breathing steady.

"It's okay, Jane, c'mon, push!" My doctor tells me as i keep screaming for God to have mercy on me during my labour. I push really hard and I'm completely exhausted. "Jane, c'mon, one more push!" She tells me. "I can see her head! One more!"
