England's Girl ~ Jesse Lingard

"okay Lucy I've spoken to the receptionists here and the closest hospital for childbirth is 2 hours away and we don't think you should risk it because you might end up giving birth in the car" Gareth explained

"shit what do we do then?" I questioned

"well there's a midwife and doctor that we've called so they're on their way right now they'll only be half an hour and they're bringing everything you'll need" he said

"sso I'm having my babies at St George's?" I asked him

"it's the safest option" he sighed

"okay well what will be will be I guess" Jesse chuckled

"lads!" Gareth shouted

"yeah gaffer?" they asked

"Lucy's gonna be having the baby here so we need to set up a birthing room" Gareth announced

"here?" Marcus shouted

"it's the safest option" Gareth repeated

"we're gonna help you through this" Trent told me holding my hand

"owww!" I moaned squeezing Trent's hand tight as I felt a contractions

"shit that hurt Lucy" he complained

"Trent mate" Jesse sighed

"what it did?" he asked clueless

"she's giving birth you have no right on complaining about pain" Jesse laughed

"shit of course, sorry Luce" he apologised

"it's fine hun don't worry" I smiled

"okay so we didn't really know what to bring you, so I've got you one of these muscle rollers to squeeze when the pain gets too much" Jadon said

"and I know that Kate used an exercise ball when she was giving birth so we got you one of those too" Harry said

"aw thanks guys" I giggled

"do you need any food?" Ben asked

"no I can't eat anything, but I'd love some ice" I told him

"I'll go get it!" he said running off

"these boys are actually the sweetest" I laughed to Jesse

"yeah but you know we still haven't decided on names or godparents" he sighed

"I know we've still got time with the godparents though" I pointed out

"Lucy I've set up a whole birthing room for you, do you need a wheelchair to take you?" Gareth asked

"no it's fine I can walk" I said trying to get up off the sofa "but I can't get up, someone help"

"here you are" Gareth and Jesse said lifting me up and supporting me to the room

"wow Gareth thank you so much this is amazing" I smiled giving him a hug

"I just wanna make sure you're as safe and comfortable as possible" he said

"here's your ice!" Ben announced as he ran in

"thanks hun" I said giving him a kiss on the cheek

"okay I think I'll leave you two to get through this alone because I know loads of lads being in here might stress you out, I left a bell that you can ring if you need anything" Gareth told us

"cheers" Jesse and I said as they walked out

"so names" I sighed

"don't you think it'll be cool to have George in the name because you're giving birth here" he suggested

"wait yeah, a middle name maybe" I replied

"hello" two people said as they walked in "we're the midwife and doctor"

"thank god" I giggled

"okay so we're just gonna give you a quick check, you're having twins right?" the midwife asked

"yep" I answered

"so everything seems pretty perfect, we'll keep a close eye but from now on it's just a waiting game" she explained

~~~~~

"okay Lucy it's time to push" the doctor said

"fucking hell where's that muscle roller!" I shouted

"here" Jesse laughed passing it to me

"thanks I need something to squeeze and I don't wanna break your hand" I chuckled

"nearly there!" the midwife encouraged me

"well done!" the doctor said when the first baby was born

"oh hello my gorgeous" I cried putting her on my chest

"sorry Lucy but the other one isn't waiting around" the doctor told me

"can you start pushing again?" the midwife asked

"ugh I can't do it" I sobbed

"come on Lucy, you can you can do it" Jesse said kissing my forehead

"congratulations!" the doctor announced when the second baby arrived

"oh my sweethearts" I cried holding them both

"can we clean them up?" the midwife asked me

"okay" I sighed

"you're incredible" Jesse smiled giving me a kiss

"go watch them! I know you want to" I smiled "is everything okay?" I asked the doctor

"yep you and the girls are healthy, but we will take you up to hospital in a couple hours just to finish off checks" he explained as he cleaned me up

"great thank you" I said

"baby a is 6 pounds 4 and baby b is 6 pounds 2" Jesse said as he carried both the girls over to me again

"should we call Gareth?" I suggested

"yeah he should still be awake at 11" Jesse said grabbing his phone

"hey is everything alright?" Gareth asked straight away

"you can come meet them if you want" I giggled

"oh my god I'm coming!" he exclaimed before hanging up
