Incidental love

HARRYYYY

The nurse puts you on all the monitors and one of them lets you hear the baby's heartbeat. It's so calming and in such a nice rhythm that it almost makes you fall asleep. You're about to close your eyes when Anne comes walking back in. "I just called Harry and he's on his way here." Let's just hope he's on time then... You think to yourself. I can not do this without Harry! I need him here! The nurse walks back in with another nurse. "We're gonna have a look at how much you've dilated okay?" Here we go again with the rhetorical questions... The nurse sticks her fingers inside of you and it scares the living hell out of you. You didnt see that coming! Anne grabs your hand as she says it scared you. "It's okay. No need to be scared. They do this with everyone." Yeah like thats something to reassure me... I dont even know where those fingers have been before they went into my ... Well private area. And i like to keep it private, thank you very much! "Alright you've dilated 8cm. Just 2 more and you're ready to push." The nurse says. "I'll just give you some rest." She says as she walks out. "Anne?" "Yes honey?" "I dont want to do this without Harry here. Can you just call him to see how long it will take him to get here?" "Yes of course I can." Anne grabs her phone and dials Harry's number. Just as she has pressed call you hear a ringtone and the door opens. You turn to the door and see the cute green eyed guy who you're having a baby with. "Haz!" You yell to see if you can get his attention because he seems miles away with his head. You want to say something else to him but there comes another contraction... And this one is bad! Its not possible to get it to go away by huffing so you start to moan because of the pain. You can still see a glimpse of Harry's face and you see its turning pale really fast. He runs to your side and takes a seat next to you, holding your hand and stroking your hair, all to try and take the pain away. When the contraction has disappeared the door opens again, its the nurse. "You wanted an epidural right?" She asks. Finally a non-rhetorical question! "Yes please!" You practically yell. "Alright, could you turn on your side for the anaesthetist then please?" You turn on you side and the anaesthetist tells you that she's going to put a needle in your back and that way the fluid will numb everything below your back. "I also want to check your dilation again." The nurse says when the anaesthetist has finished. "Alright." You say. You turn on your back again and the nurse checks you. "9cm." She tells you. "Just one more before you're ready to deliver." You turn your head to Harry, he's still sitting there, very pale, his hand firmly holding onto yours, not willing to let go.
