A Midnight Mess

Chapter Eight

3 months later

Ron and Kim sat on the couch in Kim's living room playing video games. One of their favourite pass times.

The pair had made up and decided to try dating. Being separated when the baby was born wasn’t a good idea, so they thought they would try dating. If it didn’t work then they agreed to just be parents but friends only.

Fortunately for them, after a month of dates and spending lots of time together. Ron and Kim fell for each other and ended up going out. Their relationship is two months strong and they are happy about being together for when the baby arrived.

"I just crushed you!" Kim laughed, shooting Ron’s character on the Xbox.

"No way!” Ron replied.

"Okay, I’ll let you win this once!" Kim chuckled, winking at Ron who simply shook his head.

Kim and Ron laughed. They were about to start the next round when Kim got a slight pain in her stomach. She pulled a sour face as if she had been sucking on a lemon and held her stomach tightly.

"You got belly ache again, Kimmy?" Ron asked, looking at Kim with worry.

"Yeah. I keep getting a bit of belly ache. It'll pass, always does!” She chuckled. “Now, let's see if you can beat me this round!" Kim added with a smile, looking back at the TV screen as the next round was about to begin.

"Ready, set... Go!" Ron shouted with excitement. He was determined to beat Kim.

"I'm winning!" Ron shouted with joy, jumping off the couch as he was winning Kim already.

"Damn..." Kim sighed, trying her hardest to shoot at Ron. But her concentration wasn’t as good as before.

Minutes passed and Kim was still losing to Ron. She was trying her best but just couldn’t focus that well.

“Are you okay, Kim?” Ron asked, pausing the game. He was beginning to get really concerned.

"I'm fine. I've just got stomach ache, Ron." Kim sighed, unpausing it.

"It might be a bug and I don't want our baby to be affected. It's just to make sure your safe," Ron replied, pausing the game again to fetch her mother. She was currently off of work.

Kim shook her head and carried on gripping her stomach. The pain had faded and wasn't too bad, but then disaster struck...

"Mom!" Kim cried. “Ron!”

Her mom and Ron came running into the room. Her dad was at work and wasn't in the house and her brothers were at school.

"What's up, honey?" her mother asked, stepping into the room.

"My water’s broke!" Kim screamed in panic.

"Really?!” Ran shouted, beginning to panic.

"Yes!" Kim cried.

"It's okay, honey. Ron go and ring the hospital. I'll help take Kim to my car and I'll drive you both to the hospital.” She instructed, before comforting Kim, “Everything will be okay."

Her mother helped Kim to the car and gently helped her inside the front seat of the car. Ron locked the front door to the house and then he got into the back of the Kim.

Kim’s mother drove quickly but safely to the hospital. Within five to ten minutes, they had arrived at the hospital. Kim was immediately put in a wheelchair by a nurse after talking to the receptionist. She was then rushed into a room, where she was changed into a hospital gown and put into a bed.

All she had to do was wait until the contractions started properly, and until she was 10 centimetres dilated.

Ron had gone outside to get some air, he wasn't feeling the best. His nerves were making him feel sick. Kim's mum stayed with her and talked to the nurses.

"So, do you know the gender?” A nurse with short brown hair asked with a smile.

"We left it for a surprise.” Kim giggled, “I’m not fussed either way.”

"Really?" the nurse replied, “That’s nice.”

“I knew what I was having when I had you Kimmy.” Her mother chuckled, “I was too excited not to know.”

"What about the father?" the nurse asked with a smile.

"He is outside getting some air. His nerves are getting to him.” Kim rolled her eyes.

"He not the only one to have done that. The father often finds it hard.” The nurse explained with a shrug, “No big deal. Just shows they care I guess.”

“True” Kim smiled.

"I had twins as well.” Kim’s mother told the nurse, making light conversation. “A.K.A, Kim’s younger brothers.” Kim's mother chuckled.

"Twins? Are they the only twins in the family?” the nurse asked out of curiosity.

“Yeah, I think. They are both creative and crazy.” Her mother replied, smiling to herself.

Kim suddenly gripped her stomach in pain. The contractions had started properly. Large waves of pain hit her and she found herself crying.

"Let me check how many centimetres gone you are." the nurse replied with a smile as she put on some rubber gloves.

Kim opened her legs wide and let the nurse examine her. “Four centimetres gone.” The nurse confirmed.

"That’s it?!” Kim said in disappointment.

“It can take a while, sweetheart.” The nurse replied.

Kim sighed before crying again at another contraction. She knew that this was going to take a while and just wanted Ron by her side.
