Screams and cry's were heard around the hospital ward but they were mostly coming from Tina. Her loud voice echoing around the hospital room as another contraction hit her. It was November 2008 and she was currently giving birth to David Platts offspring. It had been a very testing time for them ever sense she found out she was pregnant. Davids jealousy of her male friends had made her want to get an abortion at first but when she went there with Gail for the procedure, she soon changed her mind and now nine months later she was having a baby.
Mixture of fear washed over as she wondered if she would be able a good mum. She was after all still a kid as was David. She was only seventeen and he was set to be eighteen in a month. Babies having babies but that thought never reached her mind until now.
Tina's contractions became more harsher, causing her hormones to rise as she barked orders at poor David who didn't understand the pain she was currently going through because of his inability to use protection. Gasping and panting, she felt tired and she hadn't even started to push yet. She was becoming impatient as David became more annoyed. It was his first child to but Tina had a feeling her insulting him and barking at him was the reason for his foul mood.
Slowly taking his hand in hers as she panted brought a small smile to his face as he kissed her sweaty forehead. Soon another contraction came and she found herself squeezing Davids hand so tight that he buckled and was sure Tina had broken his hand.
She breathed in the gas and air while sending daggers at David. "You got me in this mess, so it's only right for you to feel some sort of pain" she hissed towards him causing the nurse to chuckle. David would of barked out a retort but he was just so happy that the nurse finally cracked a smile after spending hours giving them disapproving looks for being teen parents.
"It wasn't just me that was there you know" David muttered as Tina breathed in more gas and air. Sending him a dirty look she angrily declared. "You are to never touch me again"
David looked at her amused, finding all of this amusing as it was something you would see on the Tv.
"I mean it" she hissed. "You touch me again, i'll scream!"
"Whatever you say" he muttered as Tina let out a scream almost deafening David in the process. The door slowly opened and David was thankful to see Gail, though he wouldn't admit it. "How are you doing?"
"Mum, why don't you stay with Tina while i go to the canteen" David suggested, not waiting for an answer as he headed for the door only for Tina to cry. "David!"
David groaned, stopping and turning back around as Tina put out her hand for him to take. Cringing slightly as he recalled the last time he took her hand while she was in pain. He walked back over to her and took her hand.
"It will all be over soon" Gail assured her with a small smile. "I'll be a grandma again soon"
David rolled his eyes as Tina looked past Gail towards the door. "Where's dad?"
"He's went to the canteen to calm down"
"Calm down! Why does he need to calm down" she raged taking in more gas and air.
"His little girls about to have a little one. He's about to be a granddad, he has a right to be a bit emotional" Gail told her with a small smile. "I would cry to if it wasn't for the fact i have spent years crying about David"
David laughed but the laughter suddenly died down as Tina screamed louder this time, squeezing Davids hand some more as Gail was ushered out of the room by a nurse who was sure that this was it, a little baby was about to be born.
A doctor rushed in and got himself ready to deliver the little Platt. He examined her and nodded. "You're fully dilated"
Reality sunk in for David, his baby, there baby was about to enter the world and he panicked, wondering if they had everything. He snapped out of his thoughts as Tina smacked him, bringing him back to life. "David, don't leave me"
"I would never leave you" he said quickly, kissing her fingers as she tried to focus on her breathing.
"Okay Tina, on your next contraction i want you to push" said the doctor, positioning himself. Tina nodded, her eyes watering as the next contraction hit her and she began to push. Grunting and groaning before stopping to have a rest. "That's it, i need you to do a few more pushes and then you will meet your baby"
David wiped the sweat from her forehead as she pushed again. "You're doing great" David told her as she gave another push before stopping again. "Come on T, you can do it" David said his voice filled with encouragement as she screamed with a bigger push.
"I-i can't do this" Tina said as she rested her head back against the pillows. David sighed, looking at her. "Come on T, you're a fighter. You can do this, you don't give up"
"Just one more push and that's all" assured the doctor. Tina looked at David who was smiling warmly at her. She inhaled a deep breath and pushed, her nostrils flared as she let out a scream while almost breaking Davids hand.
Finally, the room filled with a new born crying. Tina and David both exhaled as the umbilical cord was cut. "Congratulations, you have a baby boy" the doctor said as the baby was wrapped up and given tenderly to Tina who couldn't keep her gaze from the newborn baby boy. "Hey" she whispered soothingly as David stared at his son with a big smile. "I'm your mum" Tina whispered to the baby.
"And i'm your father" David added, putting a finger to the baby's hand. Tina had tears in her eyes as she held her newborn to her chest. "We didn't really think of names did we?"
"No, we probably should of thought of at least one name" David said smiling affectionately at his new son.
"What about Joe?"
"After your dad, no" David said shaking his head as Tina frowned at him. "Joe's a nice name"
"For an old man" David scoffed. Tina chuckled at him. "What do you suggest?"
"Uh" David paused as he thought of all the names he could name his offspring before a name came to mind. "Dylan?"
"Dylan?" Tina frowned as she thought about it, staring at her baby, tilting her head to the side trying to picture him as a Dylan. "Dylan Platt?" she smiled softly. "Yeah i think i like it"
"Ah, so i'm finally right about something"
"I Wouldn't go that far David" she sighed, kissing the baby's head softly.
During that afternoon, they had family arriving to check out the new arrival. From Tina's parents to Davids mother and gran. All adoring the little boy as each and everyone got to hold the new family member. Jason popped by as well, still married to Sarah and wanting to have a look at Davids offspring. The minute Jason popped by was when Gail realized she had yet to call Sarah and tell her the baby had arrived, so she left the hospital room to make a quick phone call with Audrey reminded her to also call Nick.
"Isn't he lovely" Audrey smiled as she held Dylan. "He's the spitting image of David"
"I know, I was hoping he would have my looks" Joked Tina as David shoved her playfully. Tina stuck out her tongue as Audrey passed the little boy to Joe who had tears in his eyes.
"What have you called him again" Joe asked as Tina and David smiled at each other before turning back to Joe. "Dylan Platt"
"Dylan?" Anne, Tina's mother, frowned. "I'm not sure if i like that"
"Well good job it's not your kid then" Tina retorted to her mother before putting out her arms for Dylan. Joe carefully placed the baby back in her arms.
The couple was glad when everyone finally left, both tired though they knew they would have to get used to that. Tina found herself day dreaming, wondering how she would cope as a mother before realizing David was fast asleep on a chair beside her bed with his head resting on the side of the bed. Tina smiled softly, agreeing that he had the right idea. Sleep was very needed at this moment.
She rested her head back on the pillow and drifted into a slumber dreaming of Dylan and David. She wasn't sure if she was going to be with David forever but right now, she hoped she would be. Her, David and Dylan. A perfect little family.
Little did Tina know was that no one stays happy for long and that perfect little family was just a fantasy. A perfect mess was what others would describe them and just because they now had a little bundle of joy didn't mean it was going to fix the cracks that was already in there very strained relationship.
