Scars (SayWeCanFly Fanfiction)

Later On

Four months has past and in just four weeks Lincoln will arrive and Braden and I couldn't be happier having my mom back in my life since Braden and I don't have a lot of money helped with the nursery and all I need is a mobile swing which I am buying tomorrow Braden is at work recording a new album which means soon he'll have to go on tour and I don't know if I would be in the mood to be on the road for months I love him and want to be with him 24/7 but being in a van for months with a newborn wouldn't be fun there was a knock on my door and I waddled to the door to see my best friend holding a box wrapped with blue wrapping paper "what is that?" I asked her and she smiled you have to open it to figure it out" she said she walked in a sat it down and sat in the arm chair and I sat on the couch and began to open to box and noticed it was a swing I was buying tomorrow "Charlie you didn't have to do this" I said "I wanted to" she told me "now let's put it together so the only thing left is the baby" she said and I giggled as Charlie and I were building this little swing I think about this past year this year has been a big one, my boyfriend died, I fount out I was having a baby, I met Braden, I lost the baby, I started being with Braden, we got married, and soon I will have his baby and in three months another year will go by and many years to come we finished I lean back in the couch and I begin having stomach pains after they happen every few minutes I say something "Charlie" I say she looks at me confused "yes?" she asked "the baby is coming" I said "what?!?" she exclaimed while standing up "This baby is coming I need to go to the hospital my hospital bag is beside my door in a black bag" I said standing up I called the doctor letting her know and Charlie and I got into her car and drove to the hospital as I got checked in and IV all in with hospital gown on I realized with all of the excitement and hurt I forgot to tell Braden, Charlie sat beside me with a big smile on my face "Can you get your phone and call Braden but let me talk please?" I asked her I was terrified only being eight months pregnant I can't imagine how Braden would react to it also knowing I am only eight months the phone began ringing "hey Char what's up?" Braden asked me not knowing it was me "Baby, it's Emma" I said "Hey sweetie, why are you calling from Charlie's phone? is everything alright?" he asked me "Well I left my phone at home, but I don't know about being alright" I said "what is going on, you're scaring me Emm" he said "Braden I am in the hospital I am having contractions" I said "you're eight months though" he said "I know that's what I am saying about not knowing about being alright" I said "I am on my way what room?" he asked me "209" I told him "I am on my way baby I love you" he said "I love you too" I gave Charlie back her phone and a contraction begins and it brings me to tears then a nurse and doctor comes into my room "I believe we're going to have to break your water after that I will check your dilation" the doctor said "you're going to feel pressure" she warned me and she sticked a tool inside of me and cut my cord and water began coming out and I hated the feeling of peeing myself she then checks my dilation "you're five centimeters dilated" she said "do you want an epidural?" she asked me "yes please" I told her she smiled "Okay someone will be in here shortly to give you the epidural" she said I lay here and contractions get worse I grip the handle on the hospital bed a women comes in and gives me my epidural and then as the contractions come to an ease Braden finally busted through the door and came beside me and started kissing me all over "how are you baby? what'd they say, I am freaking out" he said "I am going to have to give birth and I was given an epidural so the pain is easing" I told him and he lowered down and kissed me then the nurse came into the room "okay the doctor has made a plan for the birth, the plan is to give birth at eight months which can be a risk for the baby so when he is born we'll  raise him above you so you can see him and if the father wants he can cut the cord and then we would take him to NICU for testing" she said I sighed my baby wouldn't be in my arms the minute he's born but it's better for him to be tested for an hour or so then not be with him ever "If it's the best thing for my son then I am all aboard" said Braden and he looked at me "Yes, sounds like a good plan to me" I said "oh and I would like to cut the cord" Braden added and I smiled and so did the nurse and she walked out "Charlie?" i asked for her "yes?" she asked "Can you go to my house and make sure everything is ready for Lincoln I was going to do that today but.." I said she smiled "anything for my best friend and little god son" she said "thank you so much" I said "anytime" she said and reached down and hugged me and left and when she left tears escaped my eyes and Braden was holding my hand "Baby, what's wrong?" he asked pushing pieces of hair out of my face "I am scared" I said "why are you scared we're going to be parents soon" he said "scared something is going to go wrong, I mean I am eight months pregnant he's premature, something could be seriously wrong with him" I said "most premature babies are perfectly healthy but if there is something wrong I know both of us won't love him less we'll love him ten times more" Braden said "It's not about that, what if something is wrong and he dies, what if they give him a lifespan?" I told him he sighed "If so then we will enjoy every minute we have with him and give him the best life he will have" he said to me and he wiped the tears off my face with his thumb and leaned in and kissed me "If I know you, I know you're going to be a great you're going to be the best mother this little boy is going to have, just focus on getting to meet him we've wanted to see him for months and now he's coming and with the complications with children we've had then this might be our only child so let's focus on the memory and enjoy this moment" he said "You're the best husband in the world and I just can imagine you being the best dad in the world this little boy is going to love you to death just like I do, and I will fight and do everything in my being to have another child if we want another one, just because of a few difficulties I won't give up" I said and he smiled "see this is the girl I fell in love with and still falling in love with" and he leaned down and kissed me
