Shawn Mendes Imagines

Labour pt.2

3rd person POV

After twenty very stressful minutes, Shawn finally arrives. He quickly parks his car and then runs to the front doors of the Toronto General hospital.

"Hi I'm here for my wife she's in labour her name is Y/N Y/L/N," he said to the receptionist, speaking quicker than he even knew he could.

She somehow understood, rapidly typing things into the computer. "Floor three, room 314. Good luck!" she called as he was already running towards the elevator.

Y/N, was lying in the hospital bed, desperately needing her husband. Aaliyah was next to her, trying to comfort her in any way she could, but it was barely any use under the immense pain and discomfort she was in.

The nurse had already left after checking on the pregnant woman, so now, Aaliyah was just anxiously waiting on her brother.

Shawn, looking like an absolute madman, was running down the corridors of the large hospital, his eyes scanning for room 314.

When he finds it, he all but barges inside. "I'm here, I'm here!"

"Shawn..." Y/N breathes out, before screaming in pain as she experiences another contraction. They were getting closer and closer by the minute.

"It's alright love I'm here, you're gonna be okay I promise," Shawn says to her, kissing her forehead. She whimpers, grasping onto his hand tightly.

Aaliyah stands up, giving the chair to Shawn. "I'll be in the waiting room. Good luck you two," she says, patting her brother on the back.

"Thanks sis," he replies, still focused on his wife.

After about an hour, the nurse comes in to offer her an epidural to ease the pain. She desperately accepts it, feeling the numbness through the lower half of her body a short while later.

Another hour of waiting came before the nurse told them it was time, and in that hour Shawn had already called both their parents and told them Y/N was in labour.

They all said they'd be there in a little while, seeing as both families lived outside of the city.

"Alright you ready?" the doctor asked as she positioned herself at the end of the bed, in between Y/N's legs.

Y/N looked at Shawn, then nodded bravely at the doctor. Then they began.

———

She was exhausted. She couldn't take it anymore.

"I can't do this Shawn. I can't do it," she sobs.

"Yes you can darling c'mon please just one more push," he says encouragingly.

"I'm gonna need one more big push Y/N, I can see the head already," the doctor also says.

Whimpering, she uses all the force she could muster and gives one more push.

The pressure releases and the sound of crying fills the room.

"You did it baby I'm so proud of you." Shawn kisses her hand lovingly.

The nurse gently places their baby girl into Y/N's arms and she shushes her daughter softly, making her stop crying.

Shawn was standing there with his eyes wide,  absolutely awestruck by her.

———

"Heyy," Aaliyah whispers, slowly opening the door and coming into the hospital room. Following her were both Karen and Manuel, who had arrived.

Shawn hugs each of his parents as Aaliyah walks over to the bed where Y/N was sitting. In her arms, was a tiny bundle of pink.

"Hi Liyah," Y/N says, her voice tired but emitting so much joy. "Would you like to meet your goddaughter?"

She nods quietly, unable to utter any words.

Shawn comes over and lifts the baby out of his wife's arms, gently placing them in his sister's.

She stares at the newborn baby with a look of absolute adoration.

"What's her name?" she asks, looking up at the two new parents.

"Skylar Maria Mendes."

A/N: okay so that's it... hope you liked it
btw I used Maria as the middle name because it's Aaliyah's middle name and also their grandmother's name
