Chapter 2 : HoursInAHospital.

Hospital Rooms.

It was weird being on the other side of all this. She really didn't like feeling of being so helpless on a hospital bed with her belly looking as if she swallowed a whole person. And the pain, felt as if her body was being squeezed out like a sponge.

She was tired of seeing her co workers and her husband going back and forth to check up on her. She was tired of seeing Mark sleep on that un comfortable chair when he wasn't on call. She just wanted to go home, or at least work but ever since she got into 27 weeks the Chief ordered her to stop working and take bed rest, and Mark agreed.

She turned to her side, rubbing the large bump on her stomach and fell asleep. Sleeping was the only thing she could think of to numb her from the pain.

Hours later she felt something run through her hair, her vision was blurry but she already knew who it was.

" Mark" she whispered.

" Hey Lex "he kissed her on her forehead gently.

" I'm so tired, I just want to get it over with already"

" Lexie, I - " Mark was suddenly interrupted when Addison walked in the room. When Lexie got pregnant , they both agreed that they wanted Addison to look over the pregnancy.

" Ok, Lexie good news is that you're finally in labor and the bad news is that you're not fully dilated yet so we're still going to have to wait a couple of more hours."

She felt like crying, She's been in this room for 5 hours already. And the pain , the pain was so strong and she just wanted to get it over with already. She nodded her head, slowly.

" Lexie, how are you feeling ? "

Her eyes began to water up, " I I'm just so tired, I'm I'm It hurts so much Mark . . . I don't think I can do this, It hurts, and I wanna go home, she sighed and Mark pushed her hair back out of her face.

" Lexie, You can do this, just a little longer, please you're almost there."

Mark didn't like to see Lexie crying, and there was only so much that he could do.

Lexie began to wipe her face and looked at Allison with pleading eyes.

" How How many more hours Addi . . . son."

" 4 to 6 more hours Lexie, maybe even less, depending on the progress you make in the next couple of hours."

" Thank you, God – Mark" Lexie reached for his hand. She was having another painful contraction.

Mark had her head on his shoulder, she squeezed very hard, and a couple of minutes later it was gone.

She closed her eyes and then she smiled and looked up at Mark, and then looked at her baby bump. She smiled at the fact that soon she was gonna be a mother and that he was going to be a father. She smiled because she was soon going to know what their son or daughter looked like. If he had his father's eyes or hers and what would their personality be like. And if he would grow up to become a doctor like his parents. And what would they name him ? She stayed on that question for a while because they still didn't have a name for the baby, throughout her pregnancy she was mostly working so she didn't have time to think of names.

But throughout the pain and the constant stress, she was excited to meet her future son or daughter, even if she didn't show it because she focused on the labor. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a wave of pain shot through her body.

" Mark ! " She grabbed his hand.

He placed his other hand and ran it through her dark hair. She was breathing sharply and sweat was dripping down her forehead. She sighed and looked at Mark.

" Can you stay please . . . Just ask someone else to cover for you please Mark stay." she pleaded.

" I'll stay . . . I'll stay" he reassured her.

She squeezed his hand again. She couldn't go through this alone.

Mark kissed her forehead, and slowly kissed her red full lips.

She smiled between the kiss.

" Keep doing that, it's making me feel better."

He kissed her again, and pulled her hair back. Lexie quickly shut her eyes . . . oh the pain of childbirth.

When the contraction was over , She took a long and deep breath. This was going to be the most painful night of her life, but also the most rewarding.
