"Izzy, what’s wrong?"
"HOLY SHIT HER WATER BROKE!" I hear Greg yell froh there is a small puddle of water between her feet Her handle on irl is in pain
She gives a small, strained nod and waits a few seconds for the contraction to ease up before opening her eyes and looking into " She whispers with a brilliant s moves fast from there I quickly usher her out to the car, we had stopped using the truck et in and out Dee and Greg ran to his truck and the rest of the gang files out E is turned off and meet us at the hospital I didn’t care Let the house burn down, my son is on his way
We ood time, but by the time we arrive Izzy was inquick and she keeps screa and know there is nothing I can do about it I start telling her how much I love her and try to reassure her with my words until she looks over at me with fire in her eyes and tells me to shut the fuck up As soon as the words leave her irl, if I could do this for her I would in a heartbeat
I pull up in the front of the hospital and without even shutting off the car sprint over to her side and carry her inside
Someone will move the car If they don’t then they can tow it, there is no way I’et us checked in and into a room quickly Izzy is hooked up to a million different monitors and machines I am told they allabout her to even pay attention to the nurses They seem to think we have all the ti!
We have been here for about an hour when she lets out the loudest, tortured cry The sound stops my heart and I look around frantically for help The nurses all spring into action and start shoving the bed around, turning on differentorders at me
I hold Izzy’s hand and try to help her, but looking at her beautiful face breaking down in agony is alreat, Princess He’ll be here soon"
She tries to give me a smile but its cut off when she lets out another scream
"You’re fully dilatedat the doctor’s coirl, I can’t handle her being in this much pain My mental distress for her continues but I try to hide it and be the support she needs I rub her forehead with the wet cloth one nurse thrusts into my hands I curl my ar hold her leg open with my other ar push I hear thehis first breath and letting out a loud, healthy cry
"Would you like to cut the cord, Daddy?" The doctor asks I nod my head lamely and take the scissors The nurses take him off to the side after I finish
I look down at Izzy and kiss her forehead She aze and with tears in her eyes says, "Hey, Daddy" That was all it took for me to drop a few tears of my own
"Thank you, Princess You’ve made me the luckiest h and ht in a blue blanket His head is covered with a tiny blue hat They place hi her there with our son makes my skin break out in chills and my heart speeds up
"Perfect" She whispers I look down into her face and think she is not wrong
He has a tiny round and chubby face His lips are s sounds and puckers his lips, showing off a diht cheek I lift the cap up and see a full head of jet black hair
"He looks just like you, Axel" And he does
We sit there until the doctor is done cleaning her up and the nurses have started leaving to go make another couple as happy as us
This ht here ,made every day ere apart worth it
Coin his baby scent has ain
"We’ve been waiting on you Just as perfect as we knew you would be Love you littleaway each tear that had escaped her eyes "Love you soAxel fall in love with his son was the most beautiful moment
"I love you too, baby So o tell everyone that the baby is here We had just beenin I’et tired, but the desire for our friends toasleep
"Oh my lord! Look at him, he is perfect!" Dee says with an excited whisper
Congratulations are thrown around and we enjoy sharing this moment with our family Each and every one of theAxel hold our son close to his chest and thinking he looked like a little football in Axel’s large arms, when I hear someone ask what he naives a small shake of his head I look over and meet each one of our friends’ faces and announce, "Nathaniel Gregory Reid" When I reach Greg’s eyes, the tears gathering in the corners shock ives me a small kiss on the top of irl, that means the world…means the world to me"
I smile at him and wipe my eyes dry
Axel comes over and hands me Nate and climbs into the bed next to me We all sit there and enjoy the moment until the baby starts to cry Axel looks worried but I lean over and whisper in his ear that it’s time to feed him With so) goodbyes, our family leaves and Axel comes back over to me He puts his ar Nate so that Axel can look down into his angelic face with me
