#45 Labor / Delivery Part 3

Originally there was going to be 3 parts, but since everyone has been asking for the next part, we had to split it in half, so it could be written and posted tonight.

LIAM:

After six more hours of laying on the bed and walking around the hospital room, with Liam right beside you; you were exhausted and just wanted sleep, but with the contractions getting closer together, you couldn’t. You sat on the edge of your hospital bed, with your legs dangling off the edge. You tried keeping your breathing even as you worked through the painful contractions, but it was becoming harder. Your hands were on either side of you, as you attempted to rock your hips to ease some of the pain. “Oh, Li,” you whimpered, biting your lower lip, hands grabbing his forearms tightly. Liam stood in front of you, hands rubbing up and down your back, and towards your belly, applying light pressure. “I know, I know sweetheart,” he whispered, kissing your forehead. It was breaking Liam’s heart to see you in so much pain and not knowing how to help. “I-I can’t do this anymore,” you started to sob, your breathing coming out in pants. “I can’t. I just, I wanna go home, please Li,” you cried, tears now flowing down your cheeks, no longer calm. Liam swallowed thickly, his own tears filling his eyes again. “I know you do darling,” he said, pulling you against his chest, “you’re so strong and brave. I’m right here, not going anywhere. I wish I could take this for you.” You nodded, before feeling another contraction building and the baby move lower down into your pelvis. “You’re doing so well. I’m so proud of you,” Liam kissed your head, as you buried your face into his chest. “That’s it sweetheart, breath through it,” he whispered in your ear, feeling your whole body tense up. You whimpered as the contraction ended, but suddenly cried out in pain as a different type of pressure begun to grow between your legs. “Oh my god,” you groaned, “the baby’s coming. It feels like it’s right there. Oh, oh, Li.” Liam’s eyes went wide and reached over to hit the button for the doctor. “Deep breaths darling,” he said, trying to keep calm as you moaned at the increasing pressure.

LOUIS:

"Lou, are we there yet?" you moaned, as a contraction got stronger. "Almost boo," Louis kissed your temple and looked at his mum who was driving the car. You whimpered and squeezed his hand until it ended. "I’m sorry Lou," you whispered, letting go of his hand. "It’s alright boo. If it helps, squeeze my hand, I’m tough," he said as you tiredly put your head on his shoulder, taking deep breaths. Once you arrived at the hospital, Jay got you settled into your room. As the pressure in your back increased, you found it harder to get comfortable by laying on the bed and sitting on the chair. "How about walking around the room love?" Jay suggested, as you wiggled on the chair again, "being upright and using gravity helps." You looked around the room but only found Jay. "Lou, where’s Lou?" you asked being to panic. "Hey darling, it’s ok, deep breaths. He is just outside-" she stopped as the door opened and Louis walked in. "Lou," you whimpered reaching out of him. He rushed to your side, taking your hands. "I want to walk a little," you whispered, standing up slowly. Louis wrapped his arms around you. "Stop Lou," you gasped, squeezing his forearms tightly as your stomach tightened again; stronger than before. "Breathe boo, I’m right here for you," he whispered, holding you up. Your breathing came out in quick pants as the pain faded. Louis sighed as he felt your body relax. "Just lean on me," he said, keeping his arm on your waist as you slowly walked around the hospital room. "You’re doing an amazing job Y/N," Jay encouraged, watching from the bed. You suddenly stopped and groaned. Louis turned you around quickly so you were facing the bed. You placed your hands flat on the bed to keep yourself steady as the contraction wrapped itself around your body. "Lou, put your hands on her hips and sway them slightly. It will help move the baby down further," Jay whispered to her son. Louis quickly followed her instruction. You whimpered as he swayed your hips slowly. "Ow ow ow," you hissed as you felt the baby move lower, with added pressure building. "He’s coming, Oh my, I’m pushing. Lou, I can’t help it," you moaned.
