| Maya |
28 weeks. July 17th. I was literally shaking, Xaria was coming. We explained to Hope's teacher that she won't be coming in, because of the birth of her baby sister.
I fix Hope's hair in a bun, and I put her bag on her back. I packed some things because I knew we are gonna be in the hospital for a while.
I put my hair in a ponytail and Lucas picks my hospital bag up.
"Ready?" He asks me
-
We get to the hospital and they start to get me settled. Riley, Farkle, Zay, Smackle, Lucas' parents and my parents are coming to the hospital.
I watch as Zay and Smackle appear at the door.
"Hey guys" I gasp "Is this Jordan?"
Jordan giggles at me and gives me a big hug, "How are you doing? Auntie Maya misses you"
"I'm good" She says barely audible
"How old are you now Jor?" I ask her
"I am this many!" She holds up three fingers
"Oh, you're such a smart girl" I give her a high five and put her down
"Are you ready Maya?" Zay asks
"Totally." I say confident "I just want her to be okay"
"She'll be fine" Smackle reassures me
-
Then Riley comes in with Farkle and two children.
"Is that princess Rowan and prince Pluto?"
Pluto giggles and I hug them both
"Did you guys see Hope?"
"Yeah, she's gotten so big"
"So have these two"
Riley and Farkle are married and Rowan is a few months old.
Hope appears at the door and Pluto's face lights up, Hope's face lights up and they hug each other.
"They are so cute" Riley smiles and takes them out of the room
-
I got ready to deliver my baby, it has been approximately twelve hours.
-
"Okay, daddy - hold Maya's left leg up"
The nurse proceeds to hold up my other leg, while Lucas gets the left.
"Okay Maya - push..."
I hold my breath and push.
A few minutes later..
I could barely breathe, I watch as thet take Xaria and put her in an incubator to be cleaned.
She didn't make a single sound.
"Is she okay?" I ask worried as Lucas looks over to where Xaria was
"She's a little purple - she swallowed some fluid on the way out" The nurse tells me before trying to get a breath from Xaria
-
It's been too long in silence, approximately - thirty minutes.
Then there's a faint, low squeal.
"Color" The nurse says
They lift her tiny body up and we see her. I gasp in awe, Xaria was finally here.
