Sing For Me

Happy birthday sweetheart

Williams point of view

It's been a long time and still no word from Ben I won't lie I'm starting to feel a little worried. Mam is worried I can see it, she hasn't gone to bed pacing up and down in the kitchen I swear she's made five cups of tea only to not drink them. "You OK Mam" I ask her 

"Has he rung, are they OK" she asks the worry coming out now. 

"No nothing yet, I'm sure he will soon, she's probably already born and he's just lost in them both" I say trying to comfort her 

"No he would ring lovey, he would bless my little cherub she's been in labour all day, oh please god let them be alright" she says sobbing. 

"Hey Mam come on she'll be fine Ben will get her through it, little lady just wants to make a grand entrance" I tell her 

"Grampa" Riley sobs at the kitchen door I never heard him get up he's only just gone to bed being unsettled because Lisa and Ben were gone 

"Hey little man what's wrong?" I ask him 

"I want my Mummy and my Daddy" he says it breaks my heart 

"Oh darling come here" Mam says 

"Where they gone Gran" he asks her, Mam takes him on her knee 

"Daddy has taken Mummy to the hospital" he looks at her 

"Is Mummy sick" he asks me 

"No lovey Mummy is going to have her baby" he thinks it over 

"where's Daddy then" he want to know 

"Daddy is looking after Mummy" she tells him and he will be I'm sure he will be loving her more than he ever has.

Ben's point of view

"Ben please make it stop" she begs me, she is in so much pain its crippling me I feel so helpless, its been so long and drawn out, its taken everything out of her the water has helped her so much as she knew it would but even this is losing it usefulness now. 

"Darling I wish I could, but you are doing so well, please don't give up Lis" I say to her holding her in my arms 

"But it hurts so much" her words eat at my heart, but I need to keep her going. 

"Lisa you are doing a great job honey" Harry tells her she looks up at me as the contraction ends so tired I could cry for her but I mustn't her look is brave she doesn't like me to see her upset. It's only when the pain really hits that's she shows me how she's really feeling. I wipe her brow trying to bring her some comfort 

"Sweetheart I'm so proud of you" I tell her and she smiles 

"Sorry for being a baby" she says 

"Darling you are being so very brave" It had been nearly twenty hours now because the baby had lay back to back which is why it was so painful for her but she was fighting it taking each one at a time. She needed me to be close and despite how useless I felt I pushed all this aside to give her all the love and support she needed. I did everything she asked of me but it was just that overwhelming urge to take the pain away from her as time went on, she was doing this for me, for us to bring our child into the world which is why feeling sorry for myself wasn't an option I had to focus on Lisa and on getting her through this.

Harry is doing his checks, checking her blood pressure and the baby's heartbeat "Lisa I'm going to see how you are doing honey OK" he says He checks her progress she grips my hand and leans into my chest, everything hurts now for her. "eight centimetres honey, that's more like it well done you" she seems pleased with that it had taken so long to get this far "You're nearly there Lisa" he tells her she turns to me looking anxious
