Wrong Injection

CHAPTER 51

It was my delivery day and my water hasn't broken since morning, I was not having any sign and I was beginning to worry. Sarah and Bella were here with me and were obviously worried as well, though they weren't showing any sign of worry, I knew they were just as worried as I was.

It was past 8'o'clock and still nothing, my water hasn't broken and I wasn't having contractions either. So Bella suggested I do a little exercise to warm up myself and the baby. Which I didn't hesitate to hop on.

I began with squats, which wasn't easy with my heavy bump. "You are doing great." Bella encouraged as she helped count my squats.

"Okay thirty squats is enough to get the baby out." I said panting and huffing, I was so out of breath.

"You think so?" Bella asked and I immediately nodded, not wanting to do this anymore. "So do you feel like the baby is coming out?" She asked and I gave her a no look.

"Right so we need to do more." She said and I shook my head constantly, going to lean against a wall. "Lani for the sake of the baby." She said following closely and I touched my bump. For a moment I forgot I wasn't doing it for myself, but for my baby.

"So can we do something else? Like walking from this point to that point?" I said and she nodded.

"Cool." She agreed and I began to pace non stop in my room hoping my water breaks or any sign to show she is ready to be out.

After a while pacing back and forth, Sarah walked in and encouraged me to pace more but to no avail.

"I think the baby is not ready to be out." I said still pacing.

"Too bad because I can't wait to see her." Bella said with a sad face then I stopped pacing. I totally understood her because I couldn't wait to have her too. We are all so happy to meet her today, but she said some other time.

"Me too Bella." I said and shrugged.

"I think we should retire to bed now, it's quite late."

"Goodnight." I said to Sarah.

"Goodnight sweetheart." She pecked my forehead. "Don't hesitate to call me if anything."She said to Bella and Bella nodded.

"Goodnight." Bella said.

"Goodnight honey." She said before walking out.

It was pass 10pm and at this point I was more than worried, and I could tell Bella was too. Even though it was normal and nothing to worry about, it was frightening. Time and time I was told at antenatal that I could give birth before the time given to me or even late. But at this point, I was tired being pregnant and I wanted to hold my precious angel in my arms.

"Hey." Gabby said walking in and up to me with a cup of tea. "Here have some tea."

"Thanks." I thanked him and took a sip. It was really nice. "Nice." I said to him and took another sip, he really made an awesome tea.

"Glad you like it." He said and I nodded with a smile. "So how is it?" He asked and I shrugged didn't know what to say to him.

"The baby don't wanna come." Bella said with a long face.

"Don't worry too much, she is definitely going to come." He said to me with a smile and I nodded smiling back at him.

"Bella I think you should go with Gabby now, get some rest." I said and she immediately shook her head with a yawn.

"The baby don't wanna come so I'm not going to be in labor, I'm going to be fine." I assured.

"Are you sure?" She asked yawing again.

"Yeah goodnight." I said to them.

"Goodnight." They said before walking out.
            
A shape pain woke me up and I screamed when my legs stiffened all of a sudden. I couldn't move and I couldn't feel my legs either. Few seconds later Sultan rushed into the room and to my side with so much concern taking me by surprise.

"Hey are you okay?" He knelt in front of me looking all worried and all concerned as I stare at him in amusement, whiles my legs were still stiffened. "You alright?" He asked again and this time around I shook my head gripping my abdomen.

"The baby.. it's time." I said every word panting heavily, it felt like I was losing my breath. "Wait!" I immediately stopped him when he tried helping me up because I was scared to stand up. "Go wake Sarah and Bella up." I ordered and quickly he rushed out of the room.

"Okay Lani." I sighed taking deep breathes. Slowly, I threw my legs to the side of the bed and stood on my swollen legs scared I would fall. Suddenly, I needed to go pee. I walked into the bathroom but didn't make it to the toilet and I ended up peeing on myself. But I realize it wasn't just a pee but my water broken.

"Milani are you okay?" Sultan asked.

"Y-yes I'm fine." I answered trying to sound okay.

"Are you okay?" Sultan asked again as soon as I walked out.

"Yeah please grab me a hair band and a Teeshirt." I said to him breathing in and out. Once he handed me a shirt, I put it on and rolled my hair up into a messy ponytail.

"Where's Sarah and everybody?" I asked looking around for them.

"They're downstairs waiting, mom and Bella have the stuffs the hospital would be needing, let's go."  He touched me and I jerked his hand away.

"After you." I said and he nodded before rushing out.

I finally walked out of the room and saw everybody waiting at the front door. Gripping the lower part of my abdomen, I took my time and walked down the stairs to the front door. The moment I look up at Sarah I began to cry.

"Oh sweetheart." She said as she put her arms around me. "You are going to be fine, you're brave my child."

"Stay strong Lani." Bella said as I continued to cry.
