"Robert?", I screamed, looking at the wet floor. How the hell should I know that it would happen right before I wanted to take a shower?
He stumbled into the bathroom, still sleepy since it was 5.am and he had a long night full of work. "What?", he rubbed his eyes whilst I glared at him, trying to keep calm. My back was starting to hurt, it felt as if someone was ripping it from behind. "My water just broke", I, mysteriously calm, said, pointing at the floor. Roberts eyes widened, starting to scan the floor. "Oh my god, Oh my god! What do I do!", the pain was getting unbearable slowly so I had to hold on to the thing where the towels were. I closed my eyes, wincing from the pain as Robert nervously paced back and forth, still looking at the wet puddle in the middle of the floor. "Call an ambulance for fucks sake!",
and so he did, almost slipping and falling onto the floor.

We rushed into the hospital, Robert trying to catch my bag which was falling on every inch he ran. I had to stop due to the pain in my abdomen, it was really hard to walk right now. Well, guess you could say that months passed. Me and Robert decided to 'suprise' ourselves when we went to the doctor and he said that you could see the gender now. We didn't agree on seeing it though, that's what makes the whole thing a suprise. I haven't heard from Emma since the day where Lucy was at Roberts house. I finally telled my whole family that I was pregnant and they didn't react negative, in fact, they even cried out of happiness. It was some kind of wonder to me, although I still wasn't ready to give birth because I was really scared. I mean..how are you going to...? Now I was here, in the hospital, ready to give birth to our baby.
"Oh my", I winced as I sat down on the chair whilst Robert was screaming for Doctors. They came immadietly, ignoring Robert. I had to change, putting on the hospital gown that was so famous.
It was finally time, finally, after painful 6 months it was going to happen. I was going to give birth. It was going to be mine and Roberts, it was going to be our small lovely world wonder.
I screamed as I felt something down there, as if it was literally 'popping' out painfully. I felt like a fart had moved forwards to my, you know, and was about to go out any moment..but it didn't, and that's what made the whole thing even more painful than it was. Robert was holding my hand, biting his lip from the pain I was giving him from squeezing his hand every then and now. I may look small and harmless, but I can grab onto something like hercules. "Okay, we need you to breathe out...yes, like this! Breathe in and breath out, calm yourself. When I say 'push' you breathe out, okay?", I bit my lip, breathing in and out 'calmy' which didn't work so well considering the fact that my whole Body felt like it was going to give up any moment. "Oh, the heads out! Come on, you can do it!", I looked at the ceiling, biting my lip harder again and squeezing Roberts hand until it turned blue. "Stay strong for me, Zo. It's gonna be over soon", I closed my eyes, the pain getting worse and worse. The pain wasn't at my back now, it wasn't in my abdomen, no it was right down there. Considering the fact that I never gave birth it hurted squeezing out something that was bigger than your butt. "Okay, push!", I breathed out, screaming as I finally felt the legs going out. It was over, the squeezing was over, the painful hand grabbing was over. The screams from my baby filled my ears, but they weren't annoying, they were like a melody to me. I looked to Robert, trying to ignore the heaviness in my eyes. He was wiping his eyes, crying and sniffing as he looked at the small one, still holding my hand. "It's a girl", the doctor said, smiling to her. It was a girl, it was healthy, it was screaming and that's all that calmed me. The doctor handed me the small one over, wiping it slightly with the cover. I sat up a bit, my strength slowly fading. She stopped screaming, sucking on her thumb and trying to open her eyes. "She's stunning..", Robert whispered, his head leaning against mine. He stroked her cheek before kissing me on the forehead and sitting down on the bed. "I can't believe it..", I whispered, repeating after him as I hugged her tighter. The Doctor was looking at us, holding a folder and smiling. "What do you want to name her?", that's what me and Robert talked about, long discussions, awkward tensions and angry emotions that haunted us through the pregnancy. "Amelia..", I smiled, stroking her face slowly, smiling to myself as I saw that she had her eyes from Robert and her lips from me. She strangely looked like a mixture of my mom and Roberts dad, but she was beautiful. She was more than beautiful.
She was mine, she was ours. The small product of two lovers. "Do you want to hold her?", I looked to Robert and he responded quickly with a nod, wiping the sweat from his hands away before awkwardly trying to hold her. His hands were shaking, but his smile never faded, it was like he was stuck.
This whole scenario was so beautiful and I couldn't describe what I was feeling. But it felt wonderful.
The heaviness in my eyes took over and the last thing I heard was Amelia's small sob before closing my eyes.
~I woke up again, my eyes trying to get used to the darkness. What time was it? I looked to my sides, only to see the digital clock showing 10 pm. How long did I sleep? It was 8.am when Amelia was born. Wait, this didn't look like a hospital.
Where was I?
''Zoey!'', a deep harsh voice made me jump from the soft matress. The lights were turned on and the first thing I saw was Robert sitting on the edge of my bed. What?
I looked down, only to see that I suddenly that a flat stomach. Wasn't it, like my mom told me, that you're belly disappears only after 5 days or so? ''Where is Amelia?'', my voice cracked due to my dry throat, as if haven't spoke for days. ''What..or who is amelia?'', He said, furrowing his brows. I looked around the room, it was indeed mine, but why was I here? Shouldn't I be at Roberts atleast? ''Our daughter!'', He furrowed his brows even harder and stood up, putting a hand on my forehead. ''Are you okay?'', I nodded and scrunched my eyes. ''We have a daughter. You and me'', He stepped back ''Zoey, Do you need fresh air or something? I'm not a dad, I should know if I had something with you.'', I sat back down, gobsmacked.
What was going on? Was this some kind of fucked up joke? ''Okay, maybe you're just a bit confused from the crash'', I furrowed my brows ''What...crash?'', He breathed out, kneeling down and putting his hands on my knees. ''When I brought you home after detention..you, uhm, your head hit the pavement. bam. it was really terrible. blood everywhere. So you were in the coma for like 3 weeks or something, everyone was worried about you, especially emma and Lucy'', I frowned at the name I've heard. Emma? But we weren't friends anymore?
''You woke up like 5 hours ago and your parents took you home and called me. I came to visit you but you were asleep so I waited.'', I looked down at the floor.
It was all...some kind of dream? What was this weirdness about? He put his finger under my chin and moved it up, his eyes locking with mine. ''..Are..you joking?'', I whispered quietly. He shook his head, confusion written all over his face. ''No, I am not, Greene. Should I call your parents over? They'll explain better than me.'', I looked at the ceiling, kind of happy but really sad on the inside that it was some kind of dream. I mean, it all seemed so real, the passion, the love, the pregnancy..
My heart was actually in pain that it wasn't true. I don't know how I developed feelings that fast for him, but what he did to me was clearly visable now. I've dreamed everything we had, everything that happened to me, to him, to my friends, to my family...it was a dream.
''Zoey. Look at me'', I closed my eyes for a moment before opening them just to see his brown eyes seeming to glow in the dark, locking with mine. He leaned in, his breath on my lips as if it was stroking them, his hands on both sides of my legs.
''It'll be alright'', he whispered, putting one hand on my cheek and smiling softly. I didn't smile back, I was too confused. I backed away slightly. ''What is going on?!'', I screamed, not knowing how to react. I couldn't believe it.
He furrowed his brows. ''I've explained it already. I can't help if you don't understand. maybe you just need time.'', with that he left, closing the door after him leaving me with emptiness. I missed him already, and he didn't even knew about it.
Yeah, maybe I just need time.
