Auston's POV:

I woke up and stretched as I looked at Brynn who was sleeping peacefully. I stood up quietly and walked into the waiting room to see the whole team sitting out there. As I closed the door, Freddie stood up with John and Morgan.

"She asleep?" Morgan asked.

I nodded. Freddie patted my shoulder as I let out a sigh.

Morgan sat down as Freddie looked at me. "You nervous?"

I chuckled as John spoke up. "I thought Auston Matthews never got nervous."

I smiled slightly. "Well this is something anyone would be nervous about."

The doctor walked down the hallway towards her room and stopped when he saw me.

"Ah Auston. How are you?" He asked me.

I nodded with a shrug. The doctor chuckled.

"That's normal. I'm actually going to check on how dilated Brynn is. At some point she's going to need the epidural so we've got to figure out where she's at. Let me do that and get back to you okay. Just hang tight."

I nodded as the doctor walked into Brynn's room. I sat down as my parents and Brynn's dad walked in. They walked over to me as I waved.

"Has she had her yet?" Her dad asked.

I shook my head. "She was three centimeters dilated when she first got here. Dr. Siler is checking again."

Her dad nodded as they all sat down. It was about thirty minutes before the doctor came out. Both my parents, her dad, and I looked at him as he spoke with a smile.

"Brynn is about six centimeters dilated now. Her contractions are starting to come a bit more often then usual and last a bit longer so we're going to get an epidural ready for her and keep monitoring her because at any point she could be ready." He said.

We all nodded as Jess and Steph slipped past to go see her. The doctor continued to talk to our parents as I quietly made my way to the door.

"Are you ready to be a new mommy again?" Steph asked her.

I heard Brynn chuckle. "Hardly new. I'm just ready to see her face."

"She's going to look just like you, much to Auston's dismay." Jess said.

I snorted causing all three of them to turn and look at me.

"Have you been eavesdropping?" Brynn asked with a smirk.

I shrugged and went to speak as Brynn took in a deep breath as another contraction hit.

She squeezed Steph's hand. "Just breathe babe. You got this."

I grabbed a chair and sat on the other side of the bed, grabbing her other hand as she squeezed mine. About a minute passed before her grip loosened up. She let out a breath before closing her eyes.

"This sucks." She said causing the three of us to laugh.

"The only person to blame is Auston." Mitch said as he popped his head in the door. Freddie followed behind him as they stood by the foot of her bed.

"You want a tylenol or something. Maybe advil or aleve?" Freddie asked.

"Screw you." She told him.

I smiled as I kissed her hand. "You're going to be fine."

She nodded as she looked at our hands. "I'm not sure whether I want to get this over with or wait as long as I can."

We all laughed. "We aren't in your position so we'll never know." Mitch said.

"Trust me Mitch. No one would want to be around you if you could get pregnant." Freddie said.

We all laughed again as Brynn smiled. "I love you guys. Thanks for being here."

"We'd all do anything for you Brynn," Jess told her as I kissed her forehead. "Anything."
