Erika's pov
Jake and I are really happy at the fact Olivia isn't ready yet. Today's been a strong day. I'm in a lot of pain it's hard to bare.
Jake: Have you thought of who you want in the room when you give birth?
Erika: Well it's a we decision but I have. Have you?
Jake: I was thinking just you and me?
Erika: I think so too!
Jake: Really?
Erika: yeah, I want this to be a moment that just you and me share. This baby did bring us back together. Who knows where we would be today without Olivia.
Jake: Exactly. How are we gonna brake it to our moms?
Erika: We will let them be the first to meet Olivia beside us obviously.
Jake: Agreed!
Erika: ahhh- fuck
Jake stands up in panic.
Jake: You Okay Babe?
Erika: I don't know!
I tear falls from my eye.

I open Erika's door.
Jake: we need a Doctor!
I walk back in and stand next to Erika. I grab her hand.
Jake: Everything will be okay I promise!
Erika's doctor runs in.
Dr: What's wrong?
Jake: We don't know, she's in an extreme amount of pain!
Dr: Okay. She needs to relax. Nurse!
Erika: Ahhhh!
Erika moves around. The doctor checks her heart rate and Olivia's. He gets a worried look on his face.
Erika: What's wrong??!!
Dr: Olivia is stressed.
Jake: That's Why she's stayed here.
Dr: Yes but she's really stressed.
Erika: So What Do we do?!
Dr: Right now I think the best idea is to induce Erika.
Erika: I can't! It's not safe yet!
Dr: I know Erika but you have more chance of saving Olivia's life if we get her out ASAP then if she stays inside of you.
Erika: but if I have a c-section then next baby will most likely be c-section! Plus I'll have a massive scar.
Dr: Erika if we dont Olivia may not make it. Also we can do things for the scar to fade and almost disappear. How about we induce you then we will go from there.
Jake: Agreed, Erika?
Erika: Okay.

They just induced Erika into labour. We are both really nervous.
Erika: Can we call people?
Jake: Sure
I grab my phone.
Erika: Don't Do it in here please.
Jake: Okay.
I walk out of the room and pace around the hallway while I FaceTime my mom.
Pam: Jakey!
Jake: Hey Mom.
Pam: Angel here with me too.
Jake: Hey Angel.
Angel: Hi Jake!
Jake: So basically Erika had to be induced. So she's in labour right now!
Pam: Omg! We will be there soon!
Jake: Okay Bye
End of Call. I FaceTime Alissa.
Alissa: Hey Jake
Jake: Hi Alissa, I've got some news...
Alissa: What? Is Erika okay? Olivia?
Jake: They are both okay, Erika has to be induced. So she's in Labour now.
Alissa: Is she stressing?
Jake: She's a bit worried.
Alissa: Okay, can we come?
Jake: Okay, not sure if you'll be allowed in the room though.
Alissa: That's Fine. We will be there ASAP. Good luck!
Jake: Thank you!
I finished my call with Alissa and told the team to come to the hospital. I walk back into Erika's room. I sit down next to her and tell her who's coming. The doctor walks in.
Dr: How are you going Erika?
Erika: still In a bit of pain.
Dr: Okay, I'm gonna check how dilated you are.
He checks everything.
Dr: Okay Erika you're at a 3.
Jake: What does she need to be at?
Dr: She needs to be at a 10 or at least a 9.5 with heavy contractions.
Jake: Okay.
Dr: So you're progressing which is what we want! At this rate you won't need a c-section and you should be able to got through with a natural birth!
Erika: yay!
Dr: To help with the labour, you can bounce on the gym ball. Swaying helps. Ice chips. Distractions so you're not as in much pain.
Erika: Okay thanks doc
Dr: No problem I'll be back in 40 minutes!
Jake: thank you!
The doctor leaves shutting the door behind him.
Erika: You know what Jake?
Jake: What?
Erika: I think we should film it!
Jake: uh...
Erika: Not like everything but just put like a go pro in the corner and leave it on. We can turn it off whenever and it would be could to get her first cry on sound! Even if we don't upload it we still have it. Can you pass me my camera.
I pick up Erika's G7X and pass it to her. She turns it on.
Erika: Hey Costellars, if you're a loyal Goat you know that I'm in hospital waiting for little Olivia. Jakes here too.
She loves the camera to show me.
Jake: Hey Guys
Erika: Anyway, The doctors decide to induce me into labour as Olivia is a little stressed. Jake and I are very nervous and excited for Olivia to get here. See y'all soon.
She covers her camera with her hand. She turns her camera off.
Erika: Can we at least film the labour?
Jake: Sure!
I grab her camera and set it up in the corner. I press record. I grab a GoPro and put it in the other corner. I press record on that too.
*knock knock*
I go to the door and see Mom and Angel.
Jake: it's our moms.
I open the door. My mom walks in first and hugs me then Angel does the same thing.
Pam: Erika!
They walk over to Erika.
Jake: Just letting you know we have two cameras rolling. *points*
Pam: of course you do!
Jake: Do you want ice chips Babe?
Erika: Yeah Maybe
Jake: Okay
Erika: Thanks
Jake: anyone else want anything?
Jake: Nope Okay
I walk out of the room shutting the door behind me.
Erika's pov
Angel: So everything we say will be on the vlog?
Erika: Most will probably be a time lapse with music.
Pam: Okay. How are you feeling?
Erika: I'm okay. A bit nervous.
Angel: Which is fair enough!
Erika: Yeah.
Pam: So how is Olivia?
Erika: Stressed.
Pam: Aww Erika.
~ 30 minutes later...
Jakes pov
Angel and my mom are sitting on the couch and Erika is bouncing on the ball. I just finished telling my vlog what was going on.
*knock knock*
Erika's doctor walks in.
Dr: Hey, hows it going?
He shuts the door.
Erika: I'm doing okay.
Dr: Okay can we check again please?
Erika: Sure
I walk over to Erika and help her walk to the bed. She lays down. The doctor checks how dilated Erika is.
Dr: Okay Erika you're at a 4. This is usually when we see things to slow down. It's around 6 o'clock now so you're beginning to get tried. Make sure you keep moving and try to keep track on contractions.
Erika: Thank you.
Dr: I'll be back soon.
Jake: Okay.
He leaves. My phone buzzes.
Jake: Alissa, Logan and Zach are here.
Erika: Go get them
Jake: Okay.
Pam: I'll come.
I kiss Erika forehead and my mom and I walk out to the waiting room. Team 10, Alissa and Logan (plus Zach asleep in his car seat) are all here! Me and my mom walk over.
Jake: I told y'all not to come get, it could be hours! I feel bad now!
Anthony: We couldn't miss it bro!
I hug everyone.
Jake: Y'all can come see Erika just only like 3 at a time.
Logan: Okay.
My mom looks at Zach in his car seat.
Pam: His sooo precious! I can't wait to have a granddaughter and grandson!
Jake: So who's coming to see Rik first?
Anthony: Why doesn't Alissa and Logan go first.
Alissa: No you guys have been here longer then is!
Rocky: Yeah but you guys have a kid! Just go!
Logan: Thanks Guys.
Jake: Let's go!
Alissa: Should we leave Zach out here?
Rocky: I can't watch him if you want!
Alissa: Okay thanks!
Logan moves Zachs car seat to the seat next to Rocky.
Logan, Alissa, me and my mom walk to Erika's room. I open the door and hold it open as they walk in. Then I walk in. I shut he door. Erika was bouncing on her big ball again.
Alissa: Hey Erika!
Erika: *grunts* Hey
Alissa: We can go!
Erika: No sit! *grunts* Just wait for this to finish.
I walk over to Erika and grab her hands. She squeezes my hands as the pain controls her body. Logan and Alissa sit down.
Jake: Is someone timing this?
Angel: I am.
Erika: *deep breath* done
Angel: That one was 3.58 seconds
Alissa: Jeez Rik!
Erika continues light bounces.
Logan: How are you going Erika?
Erika: So my doctor checked and I'm at a 4. They want me to continue bouncing and try not to go to sleep because this is when labour slows down.
Alissa: oh okay.
Erika: So Where's Zach?
Alissa: Sleeping in the waiting room with Rocky.
Erika: Rocky's here?
Alissa: everyone's here
Erika: What?!
Jake: I told them to wait until I said but the decided to come anyway.
Erika: It could be hours!
Jake: I know that's what I said!
Erika: Now I'll feel bad
Pam: No Erika don't feel bad! They said they didn't want to miss her!
Erika: Aww!
Alissa: So who's gonna be in the room when she comes?
Erika: Well... we decided that just me and Jake are gonna be in the room.
Logan: Aww thats sweet!
Angel: Aww
Pam: Cute!
Jake: you two aren't mad?
Angel: Why would we be mad?!
Erika: That you won't be in the room.
Pam: It's your guys day! Not ours!
Jake: Well we decide that you two will be the first to meet her.
~ 8 pm ~
Erika's pov
It's just My mom, Pam, me and Jake in the room right now. I'm beginning to get really tried! I'm so exhausted and don't know how much longer I can stay up.
*knock knock*
The door opens and my doctor walks in.
Dr: Hey Guys
Jake: Hey
Dr: How are you Erika?
Erika: Soo exhausted and uncomfortable.
Dr: Okay I'll check you now.
I lay down and my doctor checks me.
Dr: Okay Erika you're at a 5. It's been 2 hours so as I expected you are slowing down. But the good news is that Olivia is going good. She still moving and her heart rate is good except she's still a little stressed. I suggest you have a shower, You may need help. Just wear a bra and underwear to bed and try to sleep. You can drink water and have ice chips. When you wake up or when you're in too much pain call out to a nurse and we will check you straight away.
Erika: Okay Thank you.
Jake: thanks
He leaves.
Erika: Well I'm gonna have a shower.
Jake: I'll help.
~
Once I finish my shower I change into a black 'it's everyday bro' sports bra and black 'it's everyday bro' under wear.
Jake: My Girl reps the hottest merch in the game!
Erika: You know it!
I blow dry my hair and put it in a messy bun. We walk out of the bathroom. My mom and Pam still sitting on the couch. Jake helps me get back onto the bed. He helps me lay down. I put the blanket down. I fluff my pillow a bit and lay my head down.
Jake: Ice chips?
Erika: No thanks I just need to sleep.
Jake: Okay.
I peck her on the lips.
Jake: I'm gonna tell everyone to go home.
Erika: Okay. Love you
Jake: Love you too
I walk out of Erika's room shutting the door behind me. I walk to the waiting room. Everyone looks so exhausted. Some people were even asleep.
Jake: Guys Just go home, Erika's going to sleep now so who knows when she'll be ready!
Anthony: Are we bothering y'all at all?
Jake: no not at all! We just don't wanna waste your time!
Rocky: Theres a hotel next door why don't we just go there?
Alissa: Logan's gonna take Zach back there now.
Rocky: If we go home and she's at a 10 when she wakes up we will easy miss her!
Anthony: It's like a 40 minute drive.
Jake: Okay If y'all want you can! Thank you all for coming though!
Everyone stands up giving me a hug slowly walking out.
Alissa: Jake, would I be able to go see Erika?
Jake: You can but she may be asleep.
Alissa: I just wanna talk really quick.
Jake: That's Fine.
Alissa kisses Zach and Logan's forehead and they leave.
