Stand By Me

Chapter 17

*9 months later*

I'm 3 more days away from finally having this baby. James was really sweet through my whole pregnancy. He got all the food I was craving and rubbed my feet because they really hurt. Cole was also excited to meet his first child. I found out the sex of the baby when I was 2 months pregnant. It was a baby girl. James and I decide on the name "Amber Rose Woods". Even though it wasn't his biological daughter I will still want to make him feel like he is her real dad.

I slowly lifted myself up from the couch and rubbed my belly. I was wearing sweatpants and an oversized t- shirt that was not that big of a t-shirt considering my size. I walked up to James and put my chin on his shoulder. He was facing his back towards me and he was making us dinner. He's such a good cook.

"Mmm, that smells yummy." I said getting plates, silverware, and glasses from the cabinets

"Made it especially for you." He smiled at me

My life has gone by so fast. I've been through some stuff and I still made it, I'm so glad I found James or I might have ended up like Baylee. Dead.

We both sat at the table and ate.

"Are you ready for the baby?" James asked

"I don't know, I'm ready for her to get out but I'm not sure if I'll be a good mother to her." I said poking at my food

"You'll be a wonderful mother. You're strong and can do anything. And I bet she will be as beautiful as her mom." He stated going back to eating his food

I just smiled and returned to eating my food. When we were done I put the dishes in the sink and decided to head to bed because I was really tired.

"Are you coming to bed too?" I questioned James

"Yeah, sure." he said cleaning his plate

We headed to bed and slept for a couple of hours until the middle of the night. I felt a kick in my stomach following up with some pain. The pain became worse and I think I was heading into labor early. I woke James up.

"James, I think I'm going into labor!" I yelled shaking him to wake up

He jolted up and rushed to get his shirt on.

"Are you sure babe?" He shouted panicked

"Yes, I'm pretty sure." I said getting frustrated from the pain

He picked up the baby bag we had got for the baby and my bag of clothes. We planned early. He took some extra clothes from the crib we placed in another room. We had painted her room yellow with purple butterflies and put in a rocking chair with a book shelf.

We rushed into the car and James was really panicked.

"James, breathe in and out." I laughed but it made the pain only worse

He actually did though and I did the same.

It was getting closer and James drove faster.

We finally arrived and I was put into a wheel chair and wheeled into a emergency room. James came along with me.

We stayed there for hours waiting for the baby. I walked around the room while James rubbed my lower back. The pain kept getting worse.

Then a doctor came in and said.

"We are going to give you an epideral to numb some of the pain during birth."

I nodded barely even to let out any words.

A few more hours went by and I was still at the hospital. I got up a few times to walk around the room then my last time my water broke and some water got onto the ground. This is happening!
