The Mafias Daughter

Epilogue

I felt a pop and then I felt something run down my leg. What just happened? "Russ" I said. "Russ" I yelled. Russ ran into the bathroom and almost slipped. "What happened?" He asked as he looked at the wet floor. "I think my water broke" I whispered. "Right now?" He asked. "Yes! Right now. When else?" I asked as pain surged through me.

I felt my abdomen tighten and hissed. I knew they were contractions. "What do I do?" He asked. "Get the stupid bags and get them in the car" I ordered and he bolted out of the room. I slammed my hand on the counter as another contraction hit. I swear if I knew it would hurt this much, I wouldn't have gone through with this pregnancy. I walked slowly towards the door that connected to the closet and went in.

I was in cotton shorts and one of Russ's shirts. I made my way to my drawer where I had my underwear and took a underwear out and took my shorts and underwear off. I changed into the clean underwear and then took hold of some leggings. I slid them on and then slid my shoes on. "Naomi!" Russ yelled. I clenched my jaw to stop my self from saying  anything stupid back.

"I'm in the closet" I said and he walked in. "I have everything in the car and called everyone" he said. I raised an eyebrow at that. He walked towards me and handed me a jacket. I slid it on and we left the closet and the room. "Have You measured the time?" He asked as we walked down the hallway to the stairs. "Does it look like I care about the time between the contractions?" I asked as I stopped walking and closed my eyes. There goes another one.

Russ stayed silent. I had been very impatient during the pregnancy, and he knew just to shut up. He wrapped a arm around my waist and helped me walk. We walked down the stairs and then made our way to the elevator. As we waited another contraction hit and I squeezed Russ's hand. "They're still 5 minutes apart" Russ whispered as if to not anger me.

The doors to the elevator opened and we stepped in. "Is security set up?" I asked as I practiced the breathing exercises for birth. He nodded. Good. The elevator stopped and we stepped out. I was ready to get this over with so I could work again. I had been on "house arrest" for 2 months now. We walked to the car Russ had bought recently. A red Ferrari. He had gotten his hands on the first model SUV. I knew that had to cost a 'friendly' amount since it wasn't on the market yet.

He helped me get in and I buckled up. I looked in the back to spot the baby seat and then waited for Russ to get in. He got in, put his seat belt on and drove out of the parking spot. Russ' s phone rang and he picked up. "Hold on" he said. He handed me his phone and I answered. "We'll be there in some forty minutes" my father's voice rang. I smiled tightly at that. "Did you get the whole floor?" I asked.

"Yeah, everything's settled" my father answered. "Thank You" I said and hung up. No one knew I was pregnant except my family. People also didn't know Russ and I had gotten married a month ago in my pent. The public took my attempt at hiding myself as grieving. It worked out for me. We arrived at the hospital and Russ parked at the entrance. He got out and soon later was joined by my men.

Did Russ know about my side business? No. He didn't need to know. Had I talked to adira about 'our' business? I hadn't done that either. Russ opened the door and helped me out. My men surrounded us and we walked into the hospital. Russ left the circle and talked to the receptionist. He came back seconds after and told me we could head up.

I walked to the elevator and clicked up arrow. The doors opened and russ and me stepped in. 3 of my men got in with us and we went up. The elevator stopped and the doors opened. We stepped out and nurses ran to me. "Mrs. Ridalfo" one of them said. I smiled tightly at her. I had had contractions every 2 minutes now, the length of duration longer, and I was trying hard not to scream.

We walked to a room and they told me to undress. I took the hospital gown from her and made my way to the bathroom. I undressed and slid the pathetic gown on me. I walked back out with my clothes in hand and set it down on a seat. "Lay on the bed. We'll come see you in a bit" the nurse said and I walked over to the bed.

"What's the point of buying out the whole floor if they're still gonna make me wait?" I asked Russ as he entered the room. He laughed at that. "Its not funny" I exclaimed as I felt  a shiver run down my spine. Beads of sweat were forming on my forehead and I felt the need to push. Russ took hold of my hand and squeezed it. I squeezed it back as a contraction hit me. I groaned and clenched my jaw as I felt a tear slide down my face.

"I can't do this" I whispered. "Breath" Russ said. "Would You be able to breath if you were in my fucking position?" I asked. He stayed silent. A doctor walked in with a group of nurses. The doctor walked to me and told me to spread my legs. I did what I was told. "This might hurt a bit" he said as he placed his hand down there. I bit my tongue to stop myself from yelping.

"7 cm" he said. "Its too late for epidural" a nurse said and I clenched Russ's hand in pain as another contraction hit. "Get him out. Get him out now" I hissed. "We can't" the doctor said and I slammed my fist on the bed. "Get out then" I yelled at them and they left. I felt tears slide down my face as I felt a immense pain. "Breath" Russ said. I rolled my head and squeezed his hand.

I took deep breaths as I tried to calm myself down. Another contraction hit and I screamed. "I can't any more" I whispered as I bit my lip. Minutes passed before the group of imbeciles walked in again. The doctor told me to open my legs and I did as I was told. The need to push was stronger this time and I screamed. "She's crowned" the doctor said and soon everyone was grouped at my feet.

They set the bed up. "Set your feet here" the doctor said and I sat my feet in some metal thing. "Scoot down" the doctor said. I hissed in pain and felt my stomach clench as I did what I was told. I felt the end of the bed drop and took deep breaths. "I'm going to tell you to push" the doctor said and I nodded ready to get this over with.

I squeezed Russ's hand as I took in shallow breaths. A contraction hit. "Push" the doctor ordered. I pushed. "Take breaths" the doctor said. I took in some breaths in. Before I could get my breath back another contraction hit and I screamed. "Push" the doctor said. "I am fucking pushing you dip shit" I screamed and pushed again. I cried as I squeezed Russ's hand again.

"One more" the doctor said and I pushed again. I felt a tare and then I heard crying. I laughed as I heard a shrill pierce the air. I glanced at Russ and saw tears spill down his eyes. "Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" The doctor asked and Russ nodded. They handed him some scissors and showed him where to cut. He cut the umbilical cord and I watched as the nurses cleaned the boys nose and throat with a suctioning thing.

They moved with my child to a area where they set him down and cleaned him. His cries echoing in the room. I felt exhausted. I zoned out a bit. I felt something come out from me and then stitching. "Here's your baby" a nurse said and I took hold of the child. "What are you going to name him?" The doctor asked. "Stephano Augusto Ridalfo" I said and the doctor noted it down.
