Olivia's pov

After an hour or two sleeping, I was woken up as I was given some food. It was normal hospital food and I didn't feel like eating much so I just had the yogurt that they gave me.

"Shit!" I say as I cut my finger whilst trying to open the yogurt. The yogurt lid was sharp tin and it had sliced my finger.

"Are you okay, baby?" Less asks me

"No, not really." I say as I show her my finger, which was now pouring with blood.

"I'll go get a nurse, livvy. They'll bandage it or something." Less gets up out of her chair and walks towards the door.

"Quickly. It's gonna fall off." I exaggerate and less rolls her eyes.

After one of the nurses bandages my finger, she checks how dilated I am.

Less stayed by my side and held my hand, comfortingly.

"Nearly there. You're seven centimetres dilated. I'd say in an hour or twos time."

"Thank god." I mutter

"I'll be back to check soon. If you need anything just buzz." She says and leaves the room.

I squeeze lessi's hand tightly as a really painful contraction happens.

"Baby, would you like the exercise ball? They said it will speed things up." Less gets up and brings the big exercise ball next to the bed.

We normally used them in training so it was weird to think that it could help speed up labor.

"Come here." Less helps me sit on it as I slowly bounce up and down.

I take a deep breath in every time a contraction hits.

Less kept rubbing my lower back and massaging my shoulders whilst I was on the exercise ball as it was really helping to calm me down and stop the pain in my back.

I was set against not having an epidural because I hate needles so whilst I was bouncing on the exercise ball, the nurse gave me some gas and air which decreased the pain.

So every time a contraction happened, I would breathe some gas in, which ultimately made me really giggly.

"Can I try some?" Less asks. "I wanna be giggly."

"I just have to say the word bum and you'd start laughing, lessi." I tell her

————————

"It hurts so bad, lessi." I wince and shut my eyes as the pain from the contraction takes over my body.

"I know it does, baby. You're doing such a good job. They'll soon be here. Soon." She reassures me and presses a light kiss to my sweaty forehead. "Just think, in possibly an hours time, we'll be in this exact room but we'll be holding our girls."

————————

"I think it's time, Olivia. Are you two ready to meet your daughters?" The doctor says and I nod my head.

"You've got this, baby. They'll soon be here." Less whispers in my ear and takes my hand in hers.

"On the count of three, I want you to push as hard as you can. Try to hold it for around ten seconds." The doctor tells me and I nod my head, beginning to push.

"That was perfect, Olivia. A couple of them and she'll be out in no time. Again?"

I squeeze lessi's hand as hard as I could. The pain being all I felt. However, just looking at less comforted me the tiniest bit.
