Claiming her babies

Monica POV

I felt so much pain in my back, my abdomen, and my pussy. It was as if I was experiencing extreme menstrual pain all over my waist region.

I never expected labor to be this painful. I couldn’t even keep my legs closed in the car. I breathed in and out rapidly as sweat drenched down my face soaking the long gown I wore.

I felt the baby trying to come out and I knew that I needed to get out of this car as soon as possible “Anthony drive faster” I screamed at Anthony as I glared at him through the front mirror in the car.

We got to the hospital and I was instantly helped to a room. It seems like they already knew we were coming.

I lay on the soft bed that was spread with a blue sheet and Anthony was not allowed inside with Aunt Ella too.

“She is already fully dilated” I heard the doctor say

The pressure at my lower back increased and I couldn’t help but scream out loud.

“The baby is trying to come out. Ma’am please I need you to push with all the strength you have” The doctor stared at me and I could see a pitiful expression pass through his eyes.

I nodded my head in agreement with what she said as I pressed my upper and lower lips inside my mouth so I didn’t shout too much.

“Are you ready?” the doctor asked and I shut my eyes, preparing my mind and body for the pain that was about to come. “One, two three push”

I pushed with all the strength I had and didn’t stop until I couldn’t push anymore. I cursed Ethan in my heart for causing me so much pain right now.

If he hadn’t gotten me pregnant, then I would be here now. “The baby’s head has come out but ma’am leaving the baby like this could kill the baby but please I need you to push again but this time harder”

Does he think I am not pushing hard enough or does it look like I like screaming? I thought as I angrily stared at the doctor for making such a comment but that expression didn’t stay long on my sweating face.

“One two push” I heard her scream and I immediately pushed the baby out with all my strength. I was losing strength and I could feel it but I wanted my baby alive no matter what.

My mind drifted to Nicholas and the promise he made to be here when I was having the baby and I held onto that promise. If he was going to come back, then I and the baby needed to be alive to see him.

“We are almost ma’am and you’re doing just fine but just 2 more pushes and we are done”

I was exhausted and thinking that I was going to go more than twice again made me just want to give up. I didn’t think I could do this anymore.

“I’m tired. I can’t do it. I can’t push anymore”

“Hey honey” I heard Nichole’s voice and I slowly opened my eyes to confirm.

“Nicholas ” I whispered weakly “Is that you?” I tried opening my eyes but couldn’t open them fully because sweat from my forehead flowed to my eyes, giving me a stinging pain.

“Yeah, it’s me. I came as soon as I heard from Anthony. I’m here honey, I’m here” he assured. His presence did nothing but give me the strength I needed.

Seeing his face brought me joy and I was glad he fulfilled his promise of being by my side when I was in labor.

“Sir play you’re not supposed to be here” Someone uttered from amongst the doctors but neither I nor Nicholas turned to look.

“I’m tired Nicholas. I don’t think I can do this anymore. It’s exhausting and my back ache. I might not be alive to see this baby” I complained weakly.

” No, don’t say that. You’ve got to be alive to see this baby. You can do it. You’re going to gather all the strength you need and you’re going to push this baby. Okay? “he held my hand tightly as he plastered a kiss on my hand.

The encouragement I saw in his eyes gave me a little strength and I decided to just do this once and for all. “Okay,” I replied as I closed my eyes, gathering the little strength remaining in me.

“We can do this, Monica. We can and we will” Nicholas uttered as he gave me strength and a smile plastered on my lips at the number of good people I was surrounded with. “Yes I can do this” I assured myself and thought of only positive things.

“Okay, ma’am. One two push”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Arghh” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I thought of Nicholas’s kisses, his smile, his touch, how he would be glad if he saw me alive with this baby.

I channeled my thoughts on thinking about only the good and lovely things that have happened to me since I and Nicholas found each other.

I thought of the children whom I excitedly read a story to today. Different lovely kids and I thought of how my child would be if he grew up to that age and level and for that to happen, this baby needed to be alive.

“Congratulations sir. It’s a boy.” I smiled triumphantly as I lay on the bed with my eyes half closed. “The placenta came out with the child and the pain is over for now”

” We did it,” Nicholas muttered as he gave me little strength to keep me up. “I love you, honey. Thank you” he uttered and I was grateful that I was able to pull through this.

I was exhausted as I closed my eyes but almost instantly, I felt like sleeping suddenly I felt another sharp pain and I screamed out again in fear.

“Oh No. It looks like we’re not done yet. There is still another baby” I almost fainted after hearing what the doctor said. If this was a dream then I desperately wanted to wake up now.
