97.

There wasn't long until the baby was coming, just a few days left. And Olivia was more nervous than excited. She was excited to finally have her baby in her arms, and Jeff be a father. But every account of child birth she'd read or heard, was negative. Jeff had a hospital bag packed, which Olivia laughed at as it was too soon. He had packed it during her eighth month. And now, they really needed it to be packed and ready.

Jeff and Olivia had decided on godparents early on during the pregnancy. Natalie was definitely one of them, so was Jeff's sister, and finally Toddy. Due to his incessant pleas. At first, Jeff was hesitant as he didn't think Todd was mature enough to be able to take care of a child. But he had proved himself. Underneath the character Todd plays, he's mature, serious and compassionate. Which both Jeff and Olivia loved to see.

And finally. The day had come, well, the night. Olivia was in bed and waiting to fall asleep. And she felt a pain in her lower stomach. And she had looked down, her water broke. As she shouted for Jeff, who came running up the stairs, she tried standing up. With the help of her husband, she was successful. He'd grabbed the bag, their phones and slipped his shoes on before ushering her out to the car. She managed to keep calm with her breathing as Jeff drove as quickly as he could, without breaking the law, to a hospital. And before he knew it, they were being rushed into a hospital room.

Meanwhile at David's, him and the rest of his friends were filming and laughing when David got the call from Jeff.

"Guys! Olivia's in labour!" He shouted. Everyone had cheered and rushed to grab their things, hoping to see them and their new baby.

They'd piled into David's Tesla, the rest in their own cars and on their way to see Jeff and Olivia. Jeff stayed on the phone to David as they were on the way to the hospital, letting them know she wasn't fully dilated yet. And as she wasn't 10cm yet, she was allowed visitors. Jeff stayed beside her, running his thumb over her forehead. David vlogged with her, with consent from her, and made her feel comfortable. Natalie was distracting her from the scary situation she was in, the fact that a child will be coming out of her at any time. They had been there for hours, and after Olivia telling all of her friends to go home because she wanted them to be well rested, they refused and waited all around her.

It was the early hours of the morning now, everyone was asleep on the chairs surrounding her bed. It was just her and Jeff talking, Jeff telling her how proud he was of how far she'd come. Jeff looked sleepy, and she admired him for  staying up with her after all this time, refusing to leave her side. And eventually, the contractions were coming back. They grew longer and longer until it was continuous. Her groaning had woken up the entire room, nurses and doctors rushing in. They'd ushered them all out, leaving Jeff at her side.

"Squeeze my hand, baby." Jeff spoke, standing at her side. She'd grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly, the doctors telling her to push. She'd used the entonox mask given to her, helping her with the pain as she continued to push. And after what felt like hours, she heard the baby cry. She stopped pushing and sighed, Jeff kissing her head. "You did it baby, I'm so proud of you."

She regained her breath, closing her eyes due to her exhaustion. She opened her eyes and Jeff had the baby in his arms. They'd refused to know the gender until the baby was born, and judging by the doctors conversations, she was a healthy baby girl.
