Long Story Short, The Condom Broke ✔️

Labor (Part 2) ✔️

Everly's Pov

I thought having my first period in the middle of a football game, with only dad by my side, was awkward. But dear God... Being shaved down there by another woman is something else. I don't think I'll ever get past how awkward I felt. No I'm not being over dramatic, you try having someone shave you down there.

" All clean." the nurse smiles.

I flash her an awkward smile and look out of the window, praying that she'll just leave my awkward presence.

I feel another contraction coming. Have mercy.

" Mmmm." I try and hold in my cry for help. I've already made most of the people around me deaf . Don't want to make another one deaf.

" Everly. Honey. We're going to get through this. I know I wasn't the perfect mother growing up but I promise to be the perfect grandmother." mom says walking into the room.

Shit. I forgot about Jasmine and Brent. They are the adopted parents of Chicka so they should probably be here for her birth.

" About that... Can you please call Stella over mom? " I ask and mom nods.

She walks out of the room and enters with Stella by her side in less than a minute.

" Have you called Jasmine?" I ask, grabbing onto the bed sheets as another contraction comes and goes.

" They are already on their way. " she smiles.

Stella puffs the cushion behind my back. It somehow helps with my back pain. Imagine having your period and that lower back pain you get sometimes, well multiple that with 10 then you know how my back feels.

" Wait. Who is Jasmine and why is she coming over here? What's going on?" mom asks confused.

Oh right. She doesn't know about the adoption plan at all. How do I explain to my mom that I have to put my child up for adoption to prevent Liam's gang leader uncle from hurting her in every way possible?

" It's the baby's adoptive parents." I say keeping it simple.

Mom goes pale again. I swear I'm going to be the reason why she faints today.

After a few minutes or so she seems to gain her color back. She clears her throat uncomfortably.

" Stella, would you please excuse us for a minute." she asks politely.

Stella nods and leaves the room. It's just me and my mom in the room at the moment. I don't know where everyone disappeared of to.

" Why?" Mom asks.

I look down at my belly. I try to hold in a tear trying to escape. I don't know if it's from the pain or from reality kicking in that she'll be gone after a few hours and I'll never see her again.

" Mom it's for her own safety." I try and keep it short.

" In what danger could she possibly be?" mom continues to fire the questions I really don't want to answer.

I try to avoid her gaze the whole time. " Some things happened in the past few months. I can't explain to you because that will put you in possible danger. Just know that this is the only way I can protect her."
