31. Labor/ Delivery- Austin 💚

I am about three weeks off my due date and it's getting closer and closer to baby Amelia's arrival. I've been told that she could come early. Austin and I are both nervous and excited to be parents. I think him more than me. Austin hasn't been feeling good in the last few days. He's been complaining of a stomache and feeling sick. He thinks it could be his appendix but he's probably just nervous that he's about to become a dad soon. I know he doesn't want to complain as he knows I have a lot on atm. Austin always puts me first. He's the most selfless person I know. I've been looking after him but he keeps telling me not to as I should be looking after myself. Austin and I are sat on the couch together relaxing. I can tell he isn't feeling well as he's been off his food. "Babe, are you okay?" I say. "Yeah I'm fine" Austin replies. "No you're not. Austin, I can tell when you're not okay" I say. "No I'll be fine, love. Don't worry about me. Focus on yourself" he said. "Okay I'm calling the doctor. You're not okay" I say. He didn't want me to but I insisted. The doctor came soon and examined Austin. "I think it could be appendicitis. I'm going to call for an ambulance and they will take you to hospital" he said. "Okay I thought it was. I didn't want to make a fuss as I was thinking about, Y/ N" Austin said. Soon an ambulance arrives to take Austin to the hospital but he starts to feel worse in the meantime. I was allowed to travel with him. The ambulance was driving quite fast to get him there. It didn't do me any good as I was getting contractions. I know what they feel like. I was okay though and I wanted to make sure Austin was okay. Just when we arrived at the hospital my waters broke. They had to take Austin to the operating room so he couldn't go with me. The paramedics took me to the maternity centre as I was in labor now. Austin is going to miss the birth of our baby girl. I hope he's going to be okay. What if it's not an appendicitis?

When I get taken into the delivery room, I get examined and prepped. My mom is on her way. They called her to let her know what's happened. I hope Austin's okay. What if he isn't? I know he doesn't want to miss the birth of our baby. I hope Amelia stays in there will he's out of surgery but she probably won't. Babies come when they are ready and not before. Soon my mom arrives to be with you. "Hey, sweetie" she said. "Hey, Mom" I said hugging her. "I heard what happened and came as quick as I could" she said. "Yeah I hope Austin's okay" I reply. "Have you heard?" mom asks. "No not yet but the doctor thinks it's only an appendicitis. I hope it's only that" I say. "Don't worry. He'll be okay, love" my mom said. "I hope to God he is. I can't loose him, mom. He's my everything" I say. We wait a while for there to be any action. I still haven't heard anything about Austin yet. Well he is in a different part of the hospital and probably in surgery now. I really don't want him to miss his daughter being born. No way. The midwives kept on giving me regular check ups and they said it won't be long till it's time to push. I soon got to find out about Austin. "Mrs Porter, your husband is now out of surgery. It was what we thought it was. An appendicitis. He's just coming round from the anaesthetic. Then you will hopefully be able to see him" said the doctor who did Austin's surgery. "That's great to know. Thank you" I reply. Hopefully Austin will make it in time. A bit later and I'm fully dilated and can start pushing but Austin is not here yet. I wanted to wait till he was here but the midwifes advised me not to as baby Amelia was ready to be born. My mom offered to film the birth on her phone so we can show Austin. She stays by me as I push

As I was in the very final stages of labor, Austin arrives. He is in a hospital bed but has a smile on his face. Ahhhh I'm so glad to see him. "You're just in time" I say. "Hi, sweetie. I'm so glad I didn't miss it" Austin said. They put him next to me. A few minutes later and our beautiful daughter Amelia came into the world. "She's here. Yessss I'm so happy I didn't miss it" he said. "I'm so happy you made it, Aust. I didn't want you to miss it for the world" I smile. "Hey, baby girl. Aren't you beautiful? I'm so glad I didn't miss you coming into the world" Austin said as I held Amelia in my arms. "She's gorgeous, Aust. I remember when we held Eva for the first time. It was heartbreaking but I feel joy now" I say. "Me too, honey. What a day we've had? For the right and wrong reasons" Austin said. "I'm just glad you're still here" I say. "Darling, I'm never leaving your side" Austin said kissing me. It's just been Christmas too like that hasn't been enough. Today was dramatic with Austin having appendicitis and me going into labor but nevertheless our beautiful little girl is here now
