April's POV
3 months later*
"Honey--,"I tried. "Nope, you've got this." I gulped. "Hon--"I tried again. "C'mon, it's only a check up."Raph said. "I think I have to throw up.."I Muttered. Before he could respond, I turned around and yakked in the nearest trash can. Last month, I found out that I was Pregnant and I sort of freaked out, but on some certain terms, I'm OK. You know that feeling when you wanna throw up and pass out? That's how I feel. "Can we go?" I asked. "Yeah." When we made it to the Office, We checked in. "Alright Miss O'Neil, I need you to lay down on this table." The nurse said. I looked at her, then I laid down. "What's your name?"I asked. "Sally. Well, everything is good. Do you want to know the gender?" She offered. I looked at Raph who looked back at me. "Sure,"I replied. After a few minutes of rubbing the scanner on my stomach, she turned to look at us. "It's a girl." I smiled. "Our baby girl," Raph whispered, amazed. I laughed, Then cried at the same time.

Since I'm almost due, I had to stay home while Raph went to get some food. I was watching TV, when I felt a kick. "You like it in there, don't you?" I responded. She kicked harder. "Trying to play soccer, baby girl?" Then a contraction came. I yelled, grabbing my stomach. "I guess it's time." I made my way over to the phone, when I felt warm liquid pour down my legs. "My water broke." I Whimpered. As another contraction came, I screamed.
I got the phone and dialed my boyfriend's number. "Hello?" His deep voice answered. "I-I'm Going into labor..Can y-you get back h-here, please?" I begged, groaning in pain. "I'll be there in a minute.Sit tight."Raph said, urgently. I hung up and started walking around, holding my swollen stomach. "Baby girl,"I called. "It's time for you to come into the world. I need you to make it easy for mommy... and please don't be stubborn." I yelled, as another contraction struck. "We'll meet you very soon." I rubbed my stomach, then started panting when another contraction hit. I flopped on the couch, spread my legs and groaned. I couldn't take it anymore. Before I started pushing, the door blew open, revealing Raph storming in. "No, No, No, No, No..." He said, Running over and picked me up. "Where are we going?" I managed to Grunt. "The hospital." 20 minutes later, we were at the hospital. After being signed in, I was lowered into a wheelchair. I huffed and breathed heavily on the way to the room. I was helped onto the bed once we made it. "Sit tight. I'll go get the Doctor." The nurse said. "For how long?" I violently asked, as she slopped out the door. "You Ok?"Raph asked. "Do I look OK?"I roared. Then a contraction hit. I grabbed the bed handles and groaned. When the doctor came in, I fell back on the bed, my forehead beading with sweat. "How are we doing, Today?" he asked. "Skip the questions, how is she?" Raph demanded. The doctor looked at me, then at the monitor. "She's about ready to push in a few minutes. How come she didn't come sooner?"He asked. "She is sitting right here,"I panted. "And we were having complications." The doctor continued to look at me then turned around. He called in a few Nurses and faced me again. "Honey, it's time for you to push." I looked at him. "I-I thought you said in a minute,"I asked. "This baby's coming now.You need to be ready to push." he replied. "I'm scared,"I cried. Raph looked at me. "You can do this. You're tough, you've got this." "But what if I can't," I breathed heavily, crying. he took my hand. "I'll be right here." I flashed a pained smile. Then a contraction hit. Here we go...
