"Yes that's what I said" I answer

"....ACE!" I yell snapping him out of his daze

"Y-yes, What?" He asks looking lost

"Please grab the hospital bag, and grab the car keys. We should go to the hospital" I say

He nods his head in agreement "yes, hospital bag and car keys. Okay I'm on it" as he pulls his shit together

I take a moment to smile at how panicked he seemed as he tried to collect everything.

We finally get into the car and Ace drives to the hospital. The weird thing was, I felt no pain at all. My water had broken and yet I felt no contractions or any pain of any sort. I felt fine.

"But aren't you not due till next week?" Ace asks still feeling a bit confused at everything that was going on

"Well, maybe the baby wants to come early" I say and look at the window

"You're not in pain?" He asks

I shake my head "no... I feel nothing" I answer and look up at him

Was it a good thing? Was it a bad thing? I wasn't completely sure but it did feel odd.

Entering the hospital, I'm immediately taken to my own private room and placed on a bed. As we waited for Dr. Ashley to arrive, a few doctors and nurses came to check everything.

"Alexandra, Ace" Dr. Ashley says as he enters my room

Ace who was sitting beside me, immediately stands up.

"Ashley, how is she and the baby doing?" He asks

"The baby is doing great. She's a week early but it looks like she's ready to come out. Heart beat is normal, everything looks fine" Dr. Ashley says

"...and Alex?" Ace asks trying to cover the worry that was weeping through in his voice

I take a deep breath ready for anything

"Alex... to all of our surprises, seems to be doing... great."
I notice the clenched fist Ace had made from the stress immediately relaxes

"Now, it doesn't mean the cancer isn't still there. It is and it's still very aggressive. But yet, her breathing seems normal, even better than before and she's in no pain. We don't know how but Alex, if you can keep up this energy during the birth, than we may be able to operate after the baby is delivered and see if we can remove any parts or the tumour" Dr. Ashley says

I can't help my smile that grows on my face
"A-are you, serious?" I ask, Ace immediately turns to me with a big smile and hugs me

"Now I don't want to get you hopes up, because we can't say for sure. It all will depend on the next few hours of labour and how your body will take it" Dr. Ashley restates

Ace and I pull away and he looks at me with hope in his eyes

"You can do this" he whispers

I nod my head, pushing back the tears of happiness.

Which takes us to the actual pushing part...

After 6 whole hours of being through labour, I surprisingly didn't feel much pain. Until it was time to push-

Ace was by my side but he wasn't allowed to hold my hand, considering how I almost broke it when my contractions started to kick in.

But he was still by my side, being as supportive as he's always been.

I wasn't going to lie, this birth was taking a toll on my body, I was so tired and was in so much pain. I just wanted it to be over.

"come on baby, you can do this" Ace says as he bends down to push away pieces of my hair that were sticking to my now very sweaty forehead and places a kiss

After many pushes and lots of yelling, we finally hear crying.

"You did it" Ace whispers beside me with a big smile

I throw my head back onto the pillow out of exhaustion and smile at the sound of our baby crying for the first time.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, you have a healthy baby girl" the doctor says and places our baby girl in my arms

I immediately sit up reaching for our little girl and my heart melts.

"ohhh Ace look" I say with tears in my eyes as I hold her in my arms

I look up to see Ace with tears streaming down his face as he looks down at our baby girl in my arms

"Our Scarlett" he says looking up at me

I nod my head in delight

"Our little Scarlett" I smile back at her

In that moment, it was like falling in love all over again. This time with our baby girl.

Hello Lovlies!!

Ahh sorry for being away for so long :(
I've been working on lots of new things and of course, updates for 'Ace'.

I'm so sad and happy at the same time, that there are only 2 more chapters left!!!!!

Next one will be uploaded very soon, hopefully tomorrow so keep your comments and votes coming, its very motivating ❤️❤️

I also wanted to announce my new book that was published yesterday: 'Aurora' which you can find on my Wattpad account @janelleexoxo

Here is a little description of the book, but if you're a fan of Ace, I am 100% sure you will most definitely really like this one. It will be full of everything you all love...

Aurora Valentino is a 24 year old female mafia leader born and raised in Italy. She is known as 'The Madonna" and is feared by all.
Yet the most powerful woman has her hands tied when she is set to marry her enemy, the future heir to the Valerio mafia, in order to unite the two most powerful families who controlled Italy.

Lies, Deceit, and Betrayal.... our two characters have it all set out for them with the adventure they are about to face.

They know what is about to come, except for the one phenomena they didn't see coming, which is Love
