~~A/N How many times I gotta tell yall, she not having no twins -.- ~~
::Ellanae’s P.O.V::
“What?” My mom asked.
“Her water broke!” Aunty Theresa cheered.
“Theresa!” Carrie shouted.
“What?”
“Her water broke!”
“Oh shit.”
Aunty Theresa’s face fell and her and my mom went into full mommy/doctor mode.
“You guys, I’m fine.” I smiled.
“3-2-1.” Carrie counted down.
That’s when the first contraction hit me.
“Aw Shit!”
“Yup, there’s the first contraction.”
“Oh my God!” I cried gripping onto my stomach.
“Breathe Ellanae.”
“What happen to Ella?”
“She’s gonna have the baby Noah.” Bella squealed.
Carrie disappeared and returned with a fully packed bag.
“Is that bag for me?”
“I knew the baby was coming today.”
“How—“
“Jacob, It’s Carrie.” I breathed out, “Don’t ask.”
“That a girl.” Carrie smiled patting my back. “Now, Ellanae, throw one hand over Jacob and your other over me, Theresa take Ellanae’s bag, Natalie, Start the car.”
“Yes ma’am.” They all went.
“Good luck sweetheart!” Jacob’s aunt called out.
I waved before Carrie and Jacob lead me to the car while Aunty Theresa trailed behind and my mom sped to the car.
They helped me outside and into the car.
Aunty Theresa got up in front with my mom while Jacob got in, helped Carrie help me in, and then Carrie got in before closing the door.
“You have the bag Theresa?”
“Mhmm.”
“Ellanae honey, It’s gonna be alright,” My mom smiled looking back as she backed out the driveway.
“ARGH.” I screamed clutching my stomach.
“Take my hand.” Jacob said holding it out.
I gripped onto his hand and squeezed it harder as I felt another contraction coming along.
“Ellanae,, following my breathing patterns.” Carrie said breathing quickly.
I copied what she was doing, then gripped onto Jacob’s hand again as another contraction came along.
“I’d say her contractions are 4-5 minutes apart.” Carrie said taking a tissue out and wiping the sweat from my forehead.
“What?” I asked.
“Ah Ah Ah. Breathing.”
I went back to breathing quickly.
“This is so exciting.” Aunty Theresa squealed.
“Well, these contractions aren’t.”
“Jacob, how do you feel?”
“Scared.”
“Aww, really?” I asked.
He nodded and I smiled, before gripping onto his hand again.
“Damn girl. Your grip.”
“You did this shit to me!”
“I’m sorry!”
“Well you can’t take it back now so sorry doesn’t mean shit! AARGH”
“Breathe Ellanae.” Carrie said.
“I’m breathing!”
“How near are we to the hospital?”
“About 10 minutes away.”
“10 MINUTES?”
“It’s Christmas Day Ellanae, there’s some traffic.”
“I can’t do this.” I groaned looking up.
“Breathe.”
“Carrie.”
“Ellanae listen to me.”
“If I wasn’t breathing, I would be dead.”
“Ellanae.” My mom snapped.
“I’m saying!”
“It’s okay Natalie.”
“I’m texting the guys that you’ve gone into labour.”
“Joy.”
“I texted Danielle to tell everyone at home, and Danielle said she’s going to come.”
“Okay.” I said.
We FINALLY pulled up to the hospital and my mom stopped the car in front the entrance so we could get out and she’d go find a parking spot after.
“Come on, continue the breathing.”
I gripped tightly onto Jacob and Carrie’s hands as his mom trailed behind and we walked into the hospital.
“Hi,” Carrie said walking up to the reception area, “I have a girl gone into labour here.”
“Oh my,” The nurse said signalling another over with a wheelchair, “We’ll get her a doctor and a room right away.”
“Can you call doctor Jenou?” I asked as they sat me down on the wheelchair.
“She’s currently out.”
“Please.” I begged, squeezing onto Jacob’s hand some more.
“Please?” Jacob begged.
“I’ll see what I can do.” The nurse smiled.
“What’s your name?” The other asked.
“Ellanae.”
“Ellanae what?”
“Gianpiero.” Jacob answered.
“Alright, I’m kennedy, I’m assuming this is your boyfriend?”
I nodded.
“And what about your parents?”
“That’s his mom,”
“And I’m Carrie.”
“Alright, enough with the chit chat. Bitch in labour here.”
I held onto Jacob’s hand as they wheeled me down the hallway and into a room in the maternity ward.
With some difficulty, I changed into the hospital gown and in a matter of minutes, I was lying down in the bed gripping onto my stomach with one hand and Jacob’s hand with the other while my mom, Aunty Theresa and Carrie sat down talking.
“You want anything?” Jacob asked, “Water?”
“I’m fine.”
“Ellanae.” Danielle cried bursting into the room, “Are you ready to meet your baby?”
“Just want the fucker out.”
“Hey, that’s our baby you’re talking about.”
“Are you having labour pains? Did you carry a baby around for 9 months? Did you want to eat everything it sight? No! so shut up.”
Danielle chuckled and pat Jacob on the back.
“I brought your camera.”
“I didn’t ask you to.”
“I did.” Jacob said.
“Why?”
He replaced his hand with Danielle’s and took the camera from her.
“Cause I wanted to record this.”
“Really Jacob?”
“Mhmm.” He said turning the camera on, “Now, how are you feeling Ellanae?”
“As though, I’m about to have a bomb pass through my vagina.”
Jacob’s face fell white and everyone laughed.
“My stomach hurts, I’m having contractions every 10 seconds and I just wanna push the baby out.”
“Don’t worry baby,” Jacob said as he turned the camera on him, “Your daddy’s really excited, and nervous to meet you.”
“I am too!” I shouted.
“We know you are.” Jacob said turning the camera back on me.
“ELLANAE!”
Shanelle ran into the room and gripped onto my hand.
“How you feeling?”
“To choke Jacob’s ass.”
“Ayy.” He said throwing his hands up. “It takes TWO to make a baby.”
“He’s right.” Shanelle laughed.
“But he don’t have to go through all this labour shit. Y’all guys have it lucky. All yall have to do it fuck, but after that, we have to carry the baby.”
“If we ever show the baby this, imma have to censor it.”
“Craig, Chres and Deja are outside but the doctor said I couldn’t invite anyone else in or it would be too many people so they said they’d come see you once you had the baby. Everyone else is on their way but’ll see you later, including Latimore.”
“Hi Ellanae.” Dr Jenou said walking inside.
“You came.” I smiled, gripping onto Shanelle’s hand as another contraction passed.
“Of course, once the hospital called and said it was you going through labour now I rushed here.”
“What about your family? Leaving them on Christmas?”
“A doctor’s work is never done, And I’ll always make it up to them later.”
“Alright.”
“Let’s check how Dilated you are.”
Jacob turned away and she checked.
It was a little awkward, but hey, it has to happen.
“You’re about 5cm dilated.”
“So she still has a while then.”
“We’re waiting till you get to about between 7-10 cm dilated, that’s when you know the baby’s ready to come out.”
“So I have to wait?” I groaned.
“I’m afraid so,” She smiled, “But if you think the pain is too much, we could always schedule an epidural.”
“No, no epidural.”
“Alright, I’ll check back in about half an hour.”
“Half an hour?” I groaned.
“We have to wait honey.” She smiled.
“Thank you doctor.” My mom smiled.
“Mummy, It hurts.”
“I’m sorry honey, but I can’t do anything for you.”
“You want some water?” Jacob asked.
I nodded.
“Danielle could you get her some water.”
She slit her eyes at him before walking out and getting some water.
“I feel like throwing up.”
Aunty Theresa picked up the garbage bin and held it to my mouth as I began throwing up.
Jacob rubbed my back and when I was done, I laid back on the bed.
“I can’t do this.”
“Hold in there.” He said holding onto my hand.
::Jacob’s P.O.V::
I am panicking.
Ellanae’s gone into labour.
In a matter of hours, we’re gonna have a baby.
Can you imagine me? Jacob Perez? Having a baby.
When you look back to my past with Ellanae, this was definitely not something ANYONE would’ve expected.
But here we are, Christmas day in the hospital waiting for the doctor to tell Ellanae when it’s ready to push.
“I’m so excited.” I sang into the camera, “And I just can’t hide it!’
“Jacob.” Ellanae chuckled, “I thought you were scared.”
“My anxiety’s turned into excitement. I’m gonna be a daddy! If it’s a boy, I can teach him to ride a bike, play football, dance, music, If it’s a girl I can still do all those things, but she’d be a daddy’s girl and I wouldn’t let no boy near her.”
“Look at you.” My mom laughed, “Protective already.”
“What about If it’s a boy?” Ellanae Asked holding onto my hand.
“Teach him how to get all the ladies, but how to treat them right so he can get a girl just like his momma.”
Ellanae smiled at me and everyone went aww.
“Fuck.” Ellanae groaned gripping onto her stomach, breaking the happy vibe.
“It’ll be over before you know it.” I said passing my hands through her hair.
::2 hours later::
Dr Jenou came back two times and the last time she checked, I was 8 cm dilated, not 10 yet, so I have to wait still.
“It hurts so much.” I cried placing my hands over my eyes.
“Ellanae.” Jacob sighed as I heard him place the camera down.
He hugged me and I wrapped my hands around him and cried into his chest.
“I’m sorry.” He whispered, kissing me on my cheek.
“I know.” I sighed, “I know.”
“You sure you don’t want the epidural?”
I nodded.
We looked up to see my mom holding up the camera at us smiling.
“It was too cute. I’m video taping everything from here now.”
“Aunty Natalie.”
“Jacob.”
“Fine.”
The contractions seemed to be getting worse and worse, until I felt something between my legs.
“Mummy.” I said feeling anxious, “I-I think I’m ready to push.”
“Really?” She squealed.
“I’ll get the doctor.” Carrie said running out.
“Jacob,” I cried.
“I’m here, I’m here.” He said holding onto my hand.
“I’m scared.”
“Don’t be.”
“Ellanae,” Dr Jenou said rushing inside with a nurse, “You feel like you’re ready to push?”
“Mhmm.” I said nodding my head.
Jacob wiped my tears away and I let out a huge breath.
“Let me check.”
Jacob turned away and I laughed a little through my tears.
“Ellanae, the baby’s coming.”
“What?” I asked.
“You’re fully dilated. It’s time.”
“Oh my gosh.” I said squeezing his hand, fighting the urge to push.
“Don’t push yet,” Kennedy assured, “We just have to ensure the passage way is ready.”
“Oh God.” Jacob groaned.
“I should be asking you if you’re okay.” Aunty Theresa chuckled.
“I’m fine.”
“You aren’t gonna pass out?” I asked.
He shook his head.
“We can only have four people in the delivery room.” Dr Jenou said.
“Aunty Natalie, You, Aunty Theresa, Carrie and Jacob should stay.” Shanelle said.
“Yeah, Shanelle and I go be outside.”
“Good luck.” They smiled in unison before walking out.
“You ready Ellanae?”
I shook my head quickly and everyone laughed as my mom pointed the camera in my direction.
They propped my legs up so they were wide open and had everything they needed right by them.
I placed one hand in Jacob’s hand, and the other in my mom’s as she handed the camera to Carrie.
“Alright, on three. One, two, three, Push.”
I pushed.
It felt like something inside me was gonna snap.
“That was a good one.” Kennedy smiled, “Again, Push.”
And again, I pushed.
The pain now was worse than it was before and I began to cry even harder.
“Come on Ellanae, push.”
I pushed again, tears were falling down my face.
Jacob wiped them away and smiled at me.
“Breathe, regain your breath.”
I took a couple breaths before pushing again.
“I can’t push anymore.” I cried, “I can’t.”
“Ellanae,” Jacob said peeking over then looking back at me, “You’re almost there.”
“The baby’s almost here Ellanae! One more push.”
“I can’t,” I cried, “I can’t.”
“One more Ellanae,” Dr Jenou said, One more.”
I closed my eyes, gripped onto Jacob and my mom’s hands and pushed as hard as I could.
Then I felt relief.
Followed by a baby’s cry.
“It’s a boy.” Dr Jenou smiled.
I opened my eyes to see the baby in her arms.
“Would you like to cut the cord daddy?”
Jacob nodded and took the scissors and cut off the umbilical cord.
They began cleaning him, and the room was just filled with the baby’s cries and the tears that fell from my face now were happy tears.
I looked around the room to see everyone with tears in their eyes.
Including Jacob.
“He’s here.” He smiled hugging me and kissing me all over.
“You want to hold him?” Dr Jenou replied.
I nodded excitedly, holding my arms out and she placed him in my hands.
“He’s very healthy, 6 pounds 7 ounces.”
“And a full head of hair.”
“That’s why it burned so much pushing him out.”
“Blame the father.” Aunty Theresa laughed, filming us.
Jacob kissed me all over my face again.
“Look at this beautiful baby we made.”
“I told you it would be a boy Theresa.” My mom smiled.
“I guess you were right.”
“What are you going to name him?” Carrie asked.
“What about Xavier?” Jacob asked.
“Xavier Antonio Perez.” I smiled.
“Perez?” Aunty Theresa and Jacob asked.
“Mhmm.” I smiled adjusting Xavier’s blanket.
“Hello Xavier.” Jacob smiled putting his finger in the baby’s hand, and wiping away his tears.
“Aww Jake.” I smiled, “You’re crying.”
“Look at him.” Jacob smiled, his eyes getting glossy again. “This is OUR baby.”
“I Know.”
Jacob walked over to his mom and they engulfed each other in a hug, crying on each others shoulders.
“Lemme see him.” My mom smiled wiping away tears.
I pushed the blanket away some more to expose his face and my mom gasped and smiled.
“Look at his eyes Ellanae.”
I looked down at Xavier’s eyes to see they were a dark Hazel colour.
“It’s like a blend of mine and Jacob’s.” I smiled.
“He’s gonna be a heartbreaker.” Carrie chuckled.
Xavier coughed and we all went aww.
“You wanna hold him?” I asked looking at Jacob.
“Huh?”
“Do you, want to, hold, your son?”
Jacob nodded his head and I signalled him to bend down.
When he did, I placed Xavier in Jacob’s hands and Jacob rose back up, rocking him side to side.
A smiled crept up on my face as I watched Jacob with his son.
I’ve only had dreams about this moment, but now seeing them made my heart flutter.
“My babies.” Aunty Theresa smiled placing her hand on her heart and watching them.
“I’ll go get everyone else.” Mummy said walking out the door.
“They must be anxious.” I laughed.
Xavier coughed a couple times but Jacob didn’t move his stare from him.
“Ellanae!” Deja and Shanelle burst through the door and running over to me.
“I’m fine, sore, but I’m fine.”
Everyone else walking inside and walked over to me, hugging me.
“Did my italian meatball pop her bun out the oven?”
“Asshole.” I growled looking at Chres.
He smiled and hugged me.
“How was it?” Shantalle asked.
“How was what?”
“Birthing.”
“PAINFUL as fuck. Don’t get pregnant.”
“I want to.” Shantalle said.
“No you don’t.”
“Well not now.”
“Mhmm.”
“Where’s the baby?” Deja squealed.
I pointed to Jacob who was rocking Xavier in his arms.
“Aww!” Shanelle and Deja smiled walking over to him.
“What’s his name?” Deja asked placing her finger in Xavier’s small hands.
“Xavier.”
“Xavier what?”
“Xavier Antonio Perez.”
“Hello Xavier.” Danielle smiled looking down at him.
“You ready to be a parent son?” Ray asked patting Jacob on the back.
Jacob shook his head and everyone chuckled.
“But I’ll learn along the way.”
“Aww.” The girls went.
“Can I hold him?” Aunty Theresa asked.
Jacob placed him in her arms and she looked down at him with glossy eyes.
“Holding another Perez boy in my hands. He looks so much like you Jacob.”
“But his eyes though,” Craig said, “He’s gonna be breaking hearts when he’s older.”
“That’s what I said.” Jacob chuckled before walking over to me and kissing me on the forehead. “We made a sexy baby.”
I laughed.
“Hey Ellanae,”
I looked up to see Latimore walk into the room with Charmaine at his waist.
“Hey.” I smiled, “Look at this chunky baby!”
Latimore placed her in my arms and smiled.
“Where’s yours?”
I pointed to Aunty Theresa and he walked over to Xavier and smiled.
“Well damn, he looks just like Jacob.”
“Do I get no looks-credit? I carried him for 9 months.”
“He has your eyes, and your brown hair, it’s just curly like Jacob’s.”
“Thank you.”
I looked down at Charmaine who was trying to climb over the bed.
“No no no.” I said pulling her away.
We all stayed in the room, everyone getting a chance to hold Xavier before all my friends had to leave.
I saw a couple of them whispering before leaving, but I didn’t bother to pressure it.
I was tired.
Only people left in the room now were my mom, Jacob’s mom, Jacob and Carrie.
“He hasn’t cried since he came out.”
“I know.” I said rocking him back and forth, “Maybe he won’t be much of a crier?”
“Who knows.”
Xavier yawned and I smiled at him.
“This is like your Christmas gift.”
“Ours.” I smiled.
“Merry Christmas Ellanae and Jacob.”
Jacob kissed my forehead and then Xavier’s.
“Merry Christmas Xavier.” Jacob and I smiled in unison.
