Hero and Jo's love story

Welcome to the world baby girl

3 months later

Jo's pov
I am so ready to have this baby already. The last few months have been exhausting. My feet are swollen and I can't get comfortable at all. Hero has been the best though he's always rubbing my back and feet. "I feel like a whale" I whine to him. "Babe your carrying our little girl in your stomach and you look beautiful. So stop with all that whale talk." He says. I stand up to give him a kiss and all of a sudden water is gushing down my legs. "Oh my god Hero my water just broke." I yell. He starts to frantically grab everything we need to head to the hospital. As I call our Dr. to let her know what is going on. She tells us to head down to the hospital and she will meet us there. "I'm nervous" I say to Hero as he leads me to our car. "Me too Jo but we got this." He replies assuring me. "We aren't due til March though and she's early. What if something is wrong?" I cry. He reaches over and grabs my hand in his and says "everything is going to be fine let's just think positive thoughts." We get to the hospital and Hero runs in to grab a wheelchair and tell the nurses that we are having a baby.

I panicked when I saw the water rush down Jo's legs. I knew she was early it was only February,22 and we weren't due til March,25. But I had to stay strong for her. When we got to the hospital I run to grab the wheelchair. The nurse asks me if I need any help so I tell her "we're having a baby, I'll bring my wife in." As I go out to grab Jo from the car. The nurse follows me and says "let me wheel her in so you can move your car and grab your stuff." I park the car and grab our bags before running back into the hospital. I don't see Jo when I get back into the waiting area. So I frantically look around for the nurse who wheeled her in. Finally spotting her I ask "where is my wife?" "She's been sent up to woman and infants care follow me" she says. Our Dr. is already in the room assessing Jo. "Well your already dilated 6cm this baby is coming fast" the Dr tells us.

I asked the Dr. before Hero came into the room if she thought I was too early. And she told me not to worry about it. When Hero came into the room she was checking how far along I was. "Well your already dilated 6cm this baby is coming fast." She says. "I'm so nervous this is my first baby I just want her to be ok." I say to our Dr. "Jo the baby is fine. Her heartbeat is perfect and she was measuring above average at your last ultrasound." The Dr. assures me. We opted to go all natural since we heard that there are risks of having back problems and complications from having an epidural. But boy was I wishing I didn't go that route right now. I had a huge contraction and was in so much pain. Hero was trying to be brave for me and soothe me by putting a cold rag on my forehead and rubbing my back. I started to get annoyed with him. "This is all your fault." I yell at him gritting my teeth through the pain. "What do you mean baby?" He says. "Your the one who looked up problems with epidurals on Google and freaked me out about getting one. Now I'm in so much fucking pain that's what I mean." I yell at him. "Jo I'm so sorry baby I hate seeing you in pain like this." He tells me kissing my forehead. Our Dr. comes back in the room with two nurses and she says "it's almost time to push Jo." Five big pushes later with Hero and the nurses encouraging me through it all and our baby girl is born. When I hear her cry for the first time I immediately start crying and look at Hero who is also crying. He cuts the umbilical cord and wipes his tears away. The nurses take her to clean her, and check her weight and height. After putting a diaper on her they swaddled her in a blanket and put a little pink hat on her. They hand her to me and I see my beautiful little girl for the first time. I never thought I could love someone more than I love Hero but I just know in my heart this little girl is my world. I look up at Hero and smile "I'm sorry for yelling at you." I tell him. "Jo you were dealing with birthing our daughter and all the pain you don't need to apologize. Plus my dad warned me that might happen." He says laughing. Our little girl was born on February,22,2021 at 2:52pm weighing 6lbs 120z and 19in long. She was perfect.
