The Baby Pact

Chapter Twenty-Nine

"No one said it would hurt this fucking much!" I squeeze out the words as I clench my teeth in pain, holding onto two hands beside me.

Luckily since Alyssa had been at the party, that meant her big ass van was here. So here I am, laying in the back with Rose and Landon flanked at my sides, the rest of the support group seated among the other seats.

Everyone else, including their boyfriends and kids, loaded into other cars and made their way towards this tiny towns hospital.

"Well it's not all rainbows and sunshine," Sophie comments with a giggle but quickly stops when I shoot her a glare.

The contraction subsides and I can breath again.

"How are you having your baby before me?" Rose asks incredulously as we pull up the hospital. We unload and Landon runs ahead to grab us a wheelchair.

"I have no clue. Your baby just seems comfy in there," I add with a laugh but I clench my teeth together as another contraction hits.

"Damnit," I say and cling onto Rose's hand, waiting the few minutes before they subside again. Landon finally returns with a wheelchair and they gently set me in it.

"Ah shit, I think I just peed my pants," Rose mutters and I glance over at her.

She's shaking off her leg, and I notice a small trickle had gone down her leg.

"Did you piss yourself?" Lily asks as she walks over making Rose laugh as we make our way to the front.

"Uh-I don't think that's pee," Sophie comments and Rose's eyes widen.

"But I haven't got-" Rose says and Sophie cuts her off.

"Contractions? They'll be starting real soon if that was your water breaking," Sophie comments and we continue our way into the hospital.

Alyssa, upon hearing our conversation, runs ahead for another wheelchair and returns to seat Rose in it.

Within a few minutes of checking in and being rushed to the maternity ward, I can hear a commotion behind me as Rose gets hit with a contraction.

Within minutes I'm placed in a room with monitors and beeping, doctors rushing around everywhere.

Another contraction hits and I squeeze my eyes in pain, a lot of chatter going on around me.

"Where's Rose?" I exclaim out, and I see Lauri come into view.

"She's in the next room over," she explains and I nod as I squeeze my eyes shut again.

I hear Lauri explain to a doctor that she will be in and out of the room, because she will also have to be there for Rose.

Landon stays by my side until the doctors force him into a pair of scrubs, but then he is immediately back to my side to grab onto my hands.

Another contraction comes my way, but it begins to hurt worse than all the other ones than before. I yelp out in pain, gripping onto Landon's hand.

I can hear him saying things beside me, but I can't help but tune him out before I get annoyed as fuck.

I can hear the doctors talking to one another as they rush around me, poking or prodding, saying things about my cervix and dilation.

"I want Rose," I whimper aloud, Landon giving me apologetic eyes.

The pain subsides and I take in a fresh breath of air.

"How long does this usually last?" I ask the nearest doctor.
