Everything is Different Now
Chapter 7: A New Life
Laney's POV:
It has been an hour since I came to the hospital. I have been having contractions almost the whole time. The doctor says that it is almost time to start. Thank god. If it wasn't, I would shoot myself. I love my baby, but I want the baby out. Right now I'm sitting up while Larry is rubbing my back. I am so glad he is here. "How are you feeling now?", he asks. "Much better.", I say. I grab his hand and squeeze as I feel another contraction hit. The doctor comes in. "So , how is everything going right now?", he asks. "It's going good.", I say. "Well, I am going to check and see if your ready so we can get this show on the road.", he says. He checks me quickly.
"Well, I have good news. You are fully dialated. We can go ahead and start. Ok Laney, on the count of three, I want you to push. One, Two, Three.",the doctor says. I push with all my might as I feel an intense pain. This is the worst pain I have ever felt. I bite down on my lip to keep from crying out in pain. A few seconds pass until the doctor says it is ok to stop pushing. I lay there panting. Soon the doctor says that is time to starts pushing again. I take a deep breath and push as hard as I can. My heart is pounding in my ears. I stop pushing when I hear the doctor tell me to stop again. I lay there panting and sweating. "You're doing wonderful . Just one more big push and you're done.", the doctor says.
I can do this. Just one more. I get ready for the final push. I start pushing. I let out a small cry and collapse onto the pillow. The sound of a baby crying fills the room. I look up to see Larry holding the baby. I smile as I see him crying. He looks up at me. "You want to hold him?", he asks. I only nod. Larry walks over to me and puts the baby in my arms. I look down at him. He's so cute. He looks just like his dad. He has dark red hair. I watch as he opens his eyes and stares up at me. His eyes are the prettiest green. Then he does the most incredible thing. He smiles. I feel my heart melt at the sight. This is my baby. He is a part of me.
I sit there holding him until I hear the door open. I look up to see Corey, Carrie, Kin, and Kon. They all come over to see the baby. "He looks like you Larry.", I hear Carrie say. I'm confused. I thought she was mad at him. "I thought you were mad at Larry?", I ask Carrie. "I was, but Corey told me what really happened at the party. So I called Larry and told him I forgive him.", she says. well, that's good that she forgives him. "Hey Carrie, do you want to be his godmother?", I ask. "I would love to.", she says.
"Hey Laney, what's his name?", Corey asks. "Lance.", I say. "That's a cute name.", Kon says. "Thanks.", I say. I spend the next few hours talking to all the people that came to visit me. At the end of the day I feel ready to pass out. Larry already has. I quietly laugh as I look at him sleeping in one of the chairs against the wall. I lay down and think about how this whole day went. I'm so glad to see my baby. I feel my thoughts start slipping away as I drift into sleep. I can't wait for tomorrow to come.
