You are so Hypnotizing (Demi Lovato and Odell Beckham Jr.)

33

Demi's POV

It is now the next morning and I am still laying in this hospital bed with no baby and I am over it. I am so exhausted and all I want is my daughter with me. I've been in active labor for about fourteen hours now and the contractions are slowly starting to get worse and worse. Heather took Leilani home last night, and I told Odell to go to sleep because I know he was tired after his game. He put up a fight, but he finally fell asleep at around one in the morning on the couch. I tried to sleep as well, but the contractions kept me up and I was still firm on not wanting an epidural so I was feeling everything. Odell is still sleeping, but my nurse walked in ultimately waking him up and he walks over to me.

"We are just gonna check your dilation again, okay?" My nurse asks and I nod as I roll back onto my back and I open my legs so she can check me. "Okay, you're at a six right now which is some progress. Would you be interested in a yoga ball? They often help with moving labor along faster." She says and I nod with no hesitation.

"I'll do anything." I mumble and I hear her chuckle.

"Okay, I'll be right back with one and show you the best technique." She says and I nod then hear the door open and close as I roll back onto my side because it seems to be the most comfortable position for me. I feel Odell's hand go to my back as he starts rubbing and I feel another contraction hit as I wince.

"Another step closer baby." Odell whisper as it passes and I groan. "Are you sure you don't want an epidural?" He asks and I nod.

"I'm sure." I mumble. My nurse soon walks back in with a yoga ball and Odell helps me stand up before the nurse shows me how to properly use it. I sit down and spread my legs as I bounce here and there.

"Okay, you can also try walking around and we will be back in another hour to check you again." My nurse says and I nod.

"I hate this. Anyone who says labor is an amazing experience is a fucking liar and should go to hell." I groan as Odell chuckles and sits on a chair behind me to rub my back.

"It will be amazing when you realize that you are the one that was strong enough to bring our daughter into this world." He says and I sigh heavily as another contraction hits and I feel tears build in my eyes from this immense amount of pain.

"I don't feel strong." I let out as a couple tears fall and I sniffle.

"You are the strongest baby. I know damn well I couldn't sit for over fourteen hours and deal with this pain. I know I wouldn't be able to push a baby out of me." Odell replies before I feel him kiss the back of my neck.

"I'm tired." I whisper out as I prop my elbows on the bed so I can put my head in my hands. "I'm so tired." I continue as I wipe my tears away. I am seriously contemplating getting an epidural, but I don't know if I should risk all the progress I've made. The door then opens again, but I don't bother looking up since it's probably a nurse or my doctor, but when I feel the comfort of my moms arms, I break down all over again.

"I know sweetie. I know it hurts like a bitch." She says running her fingers through my hair as she kisses my temple. "Did you get an epidural?" She asks me once I've calmed down and I shake my head.

"I don't want to risk anything." I mumble.

"You won't risk anything getting one sweetheart. I know you're scared about your sobriety, but plenty of women get one when they're sober or have had addiction issues." She says but I shake my head

"But a ton of women have also gotten addicted to it." I say looking up at her.

"I have full faith in you that you will never turn back to that. You wanna know why I know that?" She asks and I nod."Because you now have something that could never be replaced with drugs and alcohol and that's your daughter." She says and I crack a small smile as she caresses my cheek. "It's up to you sweetheart, but you've been in labor for awhile now and the doctors will probably start suggesting it also." She says and I take a deep breath and turn my head slightly to look at Odell over my shoulder who is still rubbing my lower back.
