Nos Ascendemus

12

"Let's go join the crazy bunch hmm?"

"Definitely."

It was about five (5) days since the parents to be had reconciled with their best friends and all was right in the club, except it was not.

The day had started off as every other day did, with the castle booming with noise and footsteps from orders being brought in.

Serah had just made her way down to the kitchen for the second time for the day when she felt a sensation of wetness and then a gush of liquid run down her legs. Her water had just broken and the whole club was freaking out.

"WHERE IS BENJAMIN!!?" screamed one of the waitresses.

One of the chefs had sprinted out of the room and a few seconds later the blonde-haired man came rushing in. He had the baby bags thrown over his shoulder and everyone could hear Doctor Luke's voice coming from the receiver of his phone.

He shoved the phone into Reece's hands and scooped up his wife into his arms, yelling for the young chef to follow him. Running out of the kitchen and straight through the opened front door, jumping into the SUV with Elias behind the wheel.

The minute the blonde's ass touched down on the seat, the car door was slammed shut and the car surged forward. Even though the couple were just going to the club's hospital, it was easier for them to drive there, especially with Serah screaming her lungs out.

"OW OW OW!"

"Kitten, look at me, deep breath in and now out. That's good."

Breathing heavily, she quickly pecked her husband on the lips and thanked him. It was a good thing she had him go to the birthing classes with her so he knew how to help her with her contractions.

A few seconds later the pain started picking up again and the car was soon filled with her wails of agony. No amount of breathing exercises were helping at this point, her back was killing her and the immense pain was radiating down into her legs.

"We're here, come on man, get her out!"

Rushing out of the car, Elias ran and yanked opened the door, helping his best friend out. He watched as the blonde man turned back into the car and pulled his wife out. A nurse was already there on standby with a stretcher for her to be placed on.

Instructing him how to lay her, the nurse started to push her through the door. Benjamin followed close behind and soon they arrived at the hospital room, where they quickly transferred her onto her bed.

"Doctor Kyra is on her way, I am going to get you some ice chips okay, honey?"

"Y-yes, thank you."

"Benjamin, I know how possessive you can be, I'm leaving you to change her into the hospital gown. You know how to do it, right?"

Nodding, he took the white garment and thanked the older woman. Waiting till the door clicked shut, he helped his wife slowly out of her maternity dress and slipped her into the gown. Tying the threads, he kissed her shoulders and massaged her lower back.

A couple (2) minutes later, the nurse returned with a cup of ice chips, along with Serah's doctor.

"Here you go, let me know if you need any more, okay?"

"Thank you, I will."

The couple turned their attention to the doctor, who was checking her vitals and preparing her medical instruments. She asked the mother to be if she had passed the mucus plug phase, which in turn she said yes.

Nodding, she wrote that down on her chart and asked her to place her feet on the stands, so she could check her cervix to see how dilated she was.

"Okay, you are dilated at six (6) centimetres. You still have four (4) more to go before the babies start coming out for real."

"Should I take her back home?"

"Oh no no no, I can tell that her cervix is continuing to dilate, so it is just a matter of waiting for it to reach ten (10). It would be a bad idea for her to go home, because it could be minutes or hours before she starts needing to push and we don't know when."

Benjamin replied and before he could ask Doctor Kyra a question, his wife started screaming out again in pain. Then, before they could do anything Lennox, Elias and Nova busted through the door and ran into the room.

"What are you guys doing here!?"

"We came to be here for her!"

Throwing his hands up in surrender, the blonde man made his way back to the side of the hospital bed where his wife was laying. Suddenly, she grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him down.

"Somebody help? Trying to rip out my heart."

Everyone laughed at Benjamin's statement and expense. After he managed to free himself from the strawberry blonde's death grip, he turned and glared at his friends. Rolling his eyes, he asked the doctor, "Is there anything you can give to her to ease the pain?"

"Yes, do you want to give her an epidural block?"

"Please, I cannot stand to see her in such pain."

After being given the go-ahead, the doctors and nurses set about completing the task at hand to relieve some of the mothers to be's pain. Soon, she was no longer wailing in agony and said she barely felt any pain anymore.

The four (4) of them brought chairs in and set them against the wall of the room as they did not want to leave Serah alone. Benjamin, however, placed his next to his wife's side and immediately took her hand in his.

"You're gonna be okay, kitten."

"I'm going to kill you once the twins are born."

"So loving of you."

"You did this to me."

"Yet, you love the three (3) of us."

"That I do."

The other three (3) sat back and just watched the comical, yet loving exchange between the older couple. They were in their own little world and it was so sweet and heartwarming.

"I love you, baby."

"I love you too kitten and my two (2) approaching potatoes."
