In Your Dreams

Sweet child

"Tifani, there's no fucking way you are having this baby now. We are stuck here honey." Stevie tried to calm her wife down, being scared as hell herself.
"Stephanie, it hurts. It is killing me!" Tifani says after one more contraction hits her.

~Hours earlier~

"Karen, can you pick the girls up? I don't wanna leave Tifani by herself with this huge storm coming." Stevie says while she opens the door for Lily to go outside. She feels a shiver go down her spine when she looks at the clouds closing around the city.
"Thank you so much, Karen. You can take them to the ice cream shop as a reward for their great report card, if you want to!" Stevie laughs at her assistant's joke and turns off the phone.  "Lily, come in little girl." She calls out for her little dog, closing the door after Lily comes in.
  She walks towards the kitchen and starts to make herself some tea.
"Babe, what are you doing?" Tifani comes along, grabbing s banana and eating it.
  She is so beautiful, even with her swollen belly, and the dark circles around her eyes.
"Just looking at you. And how is my baby?" Stevie places her hand on her wife's belly.
"It is not moving much. But according to what the doctor said before sending us home last weekend, it is pretty normal that now that my belly has dropped, it will not move much!"  
  Tifani looks exhausted, and Stevie tries her best to make her wife comfortable. Since they went to the hospital Last weekend, and it was just a false alarm, both of them got even more tired of all the cramps and nights of awful sleep they were going through.
"You're doing an amazing job, beautiful. And I love you more and more every single day!" Stevie kissed her wife, and took them to sit on the couch, where she started massaging her wife's foot.
  The wind was blowing like crazy, and they could hear the waves breaking down at the beach. It was like if a really bad storm was coming... they were just chilling on the couch, when Tifani's phone started to go off.
"Weather alert: Ocean Highway is closed until second order, due to really bad thunder and wind storm around the Bay Area." Tifani reads and Stevie abruptly stands up, grabbing the land line and calling Karen, telling her to keep the kids at her house until they cleared the highway.
"It's just us for a while." Stevie says and gives her wife a kiss, holding her close and drifting to sleep not longer after that.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Stevie opened her eyes to find the couch empty, and her wife not there. Lightning was roaring and the rain was getting even stronger. She followed the sound of her wife's voice.
"Tifani Jane? Is everything okay?" She walks into the kitchen and sees Tifani standing in front of the sink. "You spilled water all over the floor, let me clean it for you." Stevie grabs some paper towel.
"Steph, that's not regular water. My water just broke. We are having a baby!" Tifani said and kept staring at Stevie, that was frozen at the moment. She didn't know what to do. "My contractions are 7 minutes apart, and I'm pretty sure we still have some time before things get worse."
"White Dove, I will run you a warm bath, so you can relax while I call an ambulance to get here." Stevie is trying her best to no show Tifani how scared she is.

"What do you mean by 'we can't get there until it's safe to drive down the highway?' MY WIFE IS GOING TO GIVE BIRTH." Tifani can hear Stevie yelling at the paramedics through the phone. She is so thankful for having Stevie by her side that she gets carried away with her thoughts.
  "Babe, I'm talking to you!" Stevie kisses Tifani's forehead, and helps her wife to stand up, getting her out of the tub.
"Stephanie Lynn, I love you!" Tifani said and softly smiled to her wife. She knew that Stevie was trying not to panic, and now all she needed was her wife to be by her side. "I need you to call my mo- FUCK!" A stronger contraction went all the way to her back, and Tifani screamed.
After it passed, Stevie helped her wife to go to bed. "Honey, the paramedics said that they cannot come because it the highway. They're gonna find another way though." Tifani just nodded.
"Babe, I need you to call Lisa, and tell her the whole situation." Tifani held her wife and gave her a deep kiss. "And I need you to be calm. You can freak out later, Stevie." 

   Narrator's POV

"Hello Stevie, is everything okay?" Lisa picks up the phone, and Stevie pretty sure that she can hear Tifani almost screaming in the background.
"Hey Lisa, so... we are locked up at our house, there's a huge storm, streets are closed, and Tifani is having the baby. Her contractions are 4 minutes apart now, and I'm freaking out." Stevie says it all at once and she know that Lisa is still trying to process it.
  "Oh my God, Stevie. Go grab Tifani's laptop, we will need to FaceTime." Stevie just nods, running to the office and bringing the laptop, turning it on and switching the call to a FaceTime.

Stevie puts the computer in an angle where Lisa can see her daughter, and also can coordinate the actions that are gonna happen.   She is scared, but her daughter and grandkid's lives are on her hands.
"Stevie, I need you to see how dilated Tifani is... so, stick your two fingers in, and see if you can do the peace sign." Lisa watches as her daughter in law does what she says. Tifani starts to laugh, remembering all the funny conversations she had with her mom about people when they give birth.
"I can. What does that mean?" Stevie asks and looks at her mother in law.
"It means that she's fully dilated, and you need to take her to the jacuzzi, so she can have the baby the most natural way, until someone gets there." They just move back to the bathroom, and Tifani walks into the jacuzzi, moaning in pleasure when the warm water hits her aching body.
"I will need you to go downstairs and grab some alcohol, and a maid of scissors. And a clamp, if you can find one." Stevie just nods and runs to grab the things Lisa told her to. "You are doing great, sweetie. Dad and I are hoping on the first plane we can find, it will be okay." Lisa says to her daughter, knowing that Tifani is scared because of all that happened when she gave birth to the girls."
"I love you mom. Thank you for being with me. You're so amazing!" Tifani holds tight when another contraction hits, and before it's gone, Stevie is already back at the room.
"I couldn't find any clamps Lisa, what should I use?" Stevie is out of breath, and before Tifani can say anything, another contraction hits and just just shouts.
"USE THE ONE I PIERCED YOUR NIPPLES WITH. Aaah, fuck!" Lisa doesn't know what to say, and Stevie's Cheeks are as red as a good apple, but she doesn't have time to care now.
"Honey, I need you to smell the rose, and blow the candle for me, okay? And Stevie, try to make her relax the max as she can." Lisa is happy with the advance of the birth.
"Mom, Stevie. I need to push." Tifani announces, making Stevie freak out a little.
"Stevie, go to the other side, so you can see how things are going. And honey, you put both of your hands down there to feel when the baby is coming, and then you can feel if you're going to tear or not." Lisa stood up, getting ready to deliver the baby, just like if she was there in person. "I'm gonna count to 3, then you push, okay? 1... 2...3.... PUSH!"
"Aaaah, mom. I need to do it again, I can feel the head." Tifani is shaking, but she needs to push again.
"Okay baby. 1, 2, 3 and push!" Lisa says it; and Tifani screams feeling like she's going to be broken in two, followed by relief when she feels the whole body coming out of her.
Stevie grabs the baby, and holds it up, making sure that everything is fine. A loud cry can be heard, making the three women cry in happiness.
"It's a boy. We had a baby boy, White Dove." Stevie says while looking at her baby boy.
"Let me see him, Stevie." Lisa says. "Looks like he is fine. I need you to grab the cord, and the clamp." Stevie gives Tifani the baby, and does as Lisa told her to. "Now, place two fingers on the baby's cord, then clamp and cut it." Stevie does as she was told, and soon her baby is free for her to hold.
  After what felt like an eternity, Stevie stares at the green watery eyes of her wife, and helps Tifani stand up, and slowly takes her to their bed, laying the baby down at her wife's chest. Just as she's doing so, they start to hear the ambulance's sirens, and Stevie smiles, giving her wife a kiss.
"We did it, White Dove."
