Baby, Baby, Baby

~Jaya~

It was three in the morning and Ti was squeezing the hell out of my arm. Shit Ti, I said trying to move my arm. Ja...Jayasri baby come now she said still squeezing my arm. Oh, shit Ti why you didn't say anything I said pulling the covers off her. I just did she said looking at me with this mean ass look on her face. Li, Baby wake up I said trying to get Ti out the bed as well. Huh what's going on and why is the bed wet. Babe Ti is in labor come on we gotta go to the hospital. Oh god she said trying to get up. She's 6 months and just as much of a baby as always. I spend more time taking care of her then Ti. But I made her that way because she will always be my baby. Here I got you I said grabbing her arm.

What the fuck about me Ti said. I am coming baby I said going back over to the other side of the bed to help Ti. Fuck I said hitting my foot on the edge of the bed. You okay baby, Li said. Yeah, I am great just go call Ro and ask her to come get Kennedy, so we can get Ti to the hospital. I am not gonna make it to the hospital Jaya, he's already coming she said holding her stomach. No No No you can't have him here Ti. Well fuck it he's coming Jaya she said still holding her stomach. Babe but your.... she looked at me and I could see the pain hitting and something clicked in my mind. Her having him here is not a problem it's actually a blessing. I mean if she can have a home birth no medication and no emergencies why not.

Ro's on the way Li said coming back in the room. Good she can help then I said getting Ti back in the bed. Why you getting her back in the bed? Because we are gonna have this baby here at home and we are gonna deliver him.

~Li~

Come again I said looking at Jaya like she was crazy. You heard me Lisa we are going to deliver our son together in this house. Fuck I can feel his head Ti said screaming. Jaya you've never delivered a baby before. Lisa we are gonna learn right now and look we didn't get to do the first part, but we can bring our son into this world she said stopping and looking at me. Remember she said. Yeah, I do. Okay then let's do this she getting the blankets off the bed. Can you get the scissors, some trash bags, and some towels? Ughhh Ti said. Don't push Ti not yet Jaya said. Easier said that fucking done Jayasri when his head is coming out. I got it I said making my way down the stairs when I heard knocking on the door. I went to the door and looked out to see Ro and Asia with the boys. Hey, I said opening the door for them. Where is she? Upstairs put them in the room with Kennedy I said to Ro.

Asia can you help me please? Sure Li, what you need? Trash bags, the scissors, and towels. What the hell yall fitna kill her. Really Asia! You the one asking for the trash bag. You think if were gonna kill her we'd have witnesses I said looking for the scissors. I could hear Ti yelling from upstairs. LISA HURRY THE FUCK UP!!! I am coming baby, come on Asia. When we got upstairs Jaya already had her sat up on the end of the bed.

What the hell Asia said covering her eyes cause Ti was...well like I said Jaya had her sat up to deliver the baby and he was already crowning. Get over here Ro said dragging her to the top of the bed. Man, I ain't trying to see Ti like that Asia said uncovering her eyes. Jaya shot Asia a look like if you say one more damn thing. Okay Ti I need you to push baby, Jaya said. Hold my hand baby I said giving her my hand. It hurts she said squeezing my hand. I know baby but he's almost here. She pushed, and his head came out. Omg Jaya said looking up at us. What is there something wrong Ti said freaking out. No baby there isn't. Come on Li she's got a few more pushes Jaya said calling me down to the other end of the bed. Ro get her hand please. I went to were Jaya was and it was like she was a pro at this. Baby you know what you doing I said as she handed me a pair of gloves. She smiled at me something like that. You ready to deliver our son. Yeah, I am more than ready to.

Push baby one more time Jaya said to me. Her and Li were determined to deliver this baby at home. And after how I got him I can't say that I don't agree with them. I took a deep breath and pushed, and I felt them pull him out. Asia give me the towel Jaya said. Why isnt he crying I said looking at her. One minute she said taking the towel from Asia to wrap him in it. Li give me your finger she said as Li took off her gloves. She gently used Li's pinky to clear out his mouth of anything and then we heard him starting to whimper, before we heard his full-on cry.
