Lullabies
Chapter 22
She then started to cry. Please, just let this birth happen so she can be comfortable again.
"BABY!" I yell very loudly. I was about to slam into her and give her a hug but then stopped myself, knowing that would hurt her. So, instead, I slowly swung in and gave here a hug. "What's the matter?!"
"It hurts." She says starting to cry really hard. "It hurts so badly." She couldn't even stop crying. Awwwwwww. I really felt so bad for her. I wish I could make the pain go away.
"I know baby... Well ok I guess I don't know but it'll be ok I promise. It'll all be over before you know it. I know you don't believe me, but it will." I say kissing her. I tried to continue to kiss her and she stopped me because of her pain. "You need me to go get the nurse?" I wasn't sure if they were already coming or not, and I really wanted to speed up the pace.
"No need, they're going to be here in a few minutes anyway." She tells me. I kind of wished they would hurry, because it had felt like forever since I showed up to be here for the labor and I even hurried because they made it sound like it was coming so quickly. Right when they walked in, I looked over at the clock and it was 3:00 am. Megan was starting to be in so much pain she could barely breathe. I then walked up next to Megan so the nurses could set up, and I knew that the birth was going to be happening soon. I then grabbed her hand and held it tight with our fingers locked. Megan started to screaming from what I'd assume is a contraction and burst into tears. This was the worst but best thing I had ever experienced. Worst because I had to experience her in so much pain, but best because I was finally going to be a father. The nurses were trying to comfort her, but I had a feeling it wasn't working. They then told Megan to push. Next thing I know her muscles must of clenched, because she started squeezing the hell out of my hand. Son of a bitch, it was kind of painful. I never thought she could squeeze so hard. I kept her hand in mine just so she would feel better. I could tell she wanted to yell out in pain really bad, but that she was holding it back. All she could do was cry. I so badly wanted to take all her pain away.
"Baby, I love you." I say to her. Well that was out of nowhere.
"Well right now, I kind of hate you." She yells in pain. I guess I had that one coming. After all, I am the one that did this to her. After 4 pushes total, they told her that they could see the head. This felt like the labor was taking forever.
