26. Labour (Part Two)

                                    

                                          
You had just woken up from a couple of hours sleep. How you managed to sleep with the pain you weren't sure, but you managed it.
                          
As a contraction hit you screwed your eyes shut and shook your head.
                          
"I just want it to be over. I want it to stop," you shouted and Harry gave you his hand. You squeezed it tightly.
                          
"It'll all be over soon. You're almost ready to push. She came to check when you were sleeping and your 9cm. She said you should be ready to push in 15-20 minutes," you nodded and pouted your lips wanting a kiss. 
                          
He kissed you lips softly.
                          
"I love you," you whispered and he reciprocated the whisper.
                          
"Just think about how happy we're going to be when she comes. We'll finally have our baby with us," you wanted nothing more than that.
                          
"I want that more than anything. I just want the pain to stop and her to be here," he nodded kissing your forehead.
                          
"I know baby."

"Your 10cm Y/N. I'll go fetch the doctor and we'll prep for delivery." Nodding you grabbed Harry's hand.
                          
Around 5 minutes later there were two nurses in the room along with Dr. Reynolds.
                          
"Ok Y/N, the next contraction I want you to pull your legs back, keep your chin pressed to your chest and push hard," you nodded and felt the contraction starting.
                          
You groaned in pain as you pushed and then stopped once Dr. Reynolds told you to.
                          
"And again," and you pushed as hard as you could.
                          
"She's starting to crown Y/N, one more big push on the next contraction. Harry would you like to see?" He nodded and kept hold of your hand as he stepped down the bed and looked.
                          
"You can see the head baby. Just a big push," you nodded and pushed as you felt the contraction start.
                          
"Arghhhh!" You couldn't help the noise that escaped your mouth.
                          
"The head is out Y/N, two more big pushes and your baby will be here." Harry whispered comforting words into your ear as you focused everything on the next two pushes.
                          
On the second push you heard the cries fill the room. Your daughters cries. And the pressure that you could feel disappeared.
                          
"Congratulations. It's a beautiful baby girl. Time of birth 8:47pm," she placed the baby on your bare chest and you started to cry looking at the beautiful baby you and Harry had made together.
                          
"Does Daddy want to cut the cord?" Harry nodded and took the scissors from the doctor and cut in between the two clamps.
                          
"We'll get her cleaned up while we deliver the afterbirth. But give her a kiss first," Dr. Reynolds held the tiny girl in front of your face and you kissed her head lightly and then Harry done the same.
                          
"This shouldn't hurt but we're going to ask you to give another push," you nodded and pushed whilst she pulled on the cord that was now detached from the baby and pressed on your stomach. 
                          
"And we're done. There shouldn't be any need for stitches but if you notice excessive bleeding call for a nurse. Move around slowly. You'll be fragile and massively sore for the next few hours but it should start to fade so try stay in bed for at least an hour and then we'll move you all to your private maternity suite. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Styles. A nurse will be in soon to complete the birth certificate." You nodded and she picked up all of the soiled paper and tools as put them into a hazardous bin.
                          
The nurse brought your still crying daughter over to you and handed you her.
                          
"Hi Emilia-Anne, welcome to the world pumpkin," you smiled at the small crying baby in your arms.
                          
"Hi princess," Harry kissed her head and you smiled.
                          
You sat with her for around 15 minutes and then gave Harry a turn. The nurse came in to find out the name etc. and complete the birth certificate and then left.
                          
Emilia-Anne Rose Styles was brought into the world at 8:47pm and she was the most beautiful baby you had ever seen.
