Chapter 7
"Ohhh," Emily Prentiss groaned in pain, turning in the hospital bed. Garcia was right next to her and in a soft tone said, "You're doing just fine."
"That is easy for you to save, you don't have to push a human being out of you," Emily snapped, groaning again, closing her eyes for another hard contraction to go through her.
"I'll do it the next time," Garcia said calmly, trying to rub Emily's lower back to ease some of the pain.
Emily didn't comment on this. Their lives were already too busy with Lucky and now they were bringing a baby into this craziness. It felt like insanity. She groaned, hoping it would soon be over.
The worst part of it all was that this was just the contractions; the delivery itself hadn't even started. She sighed heavily, thinking that it would take ages before she became the same down there after this. She opened her eyes and looked at Garcia, wondering if it was worth it. Seeing her kind, loving eyes, she decided it was.
Emily knew she without even doubting would do anything to make her happy, that including pushing a baby out of her body.
She sighed as she heard the nurse said it was time, thinking, "Here we go." Too late to turn all she could do was to start pushing trying to ignore the pain.
In a haze she got aware of the angry screams filling the room. She only looked up halfway to discover she had gotten a little girl and that Garcia was holding her. Emily smiled with great satisfaction thinking spite the pain it had been worth it.
"Your turn to go," Emily Prentiss groaned, it was 3AM in the morning and their little one had again woken them up by screaming. She was now a little over one month and she seemed to prefer screaming at night when the two women would rather like to sleep. After all they did work almost around the clock and needed their rest.
Penelope Garcia groaned as well, dragging herself out of a dream and out of bed. Emily dragged the cover over her head to try to get some more shuteye before they had to get up in three hours.
Penelope got into the living room where the baby's bed was. It was one of the few times in her life she wished there was a real door between her bedroom and the living room. She walked over, picked the baby up and checked her diaper. It was clean.
"Are you hungry, princess, is that it?" asked Penelope, carefully rocking her as she walked back to her bed.
"Sweetheart, I think she might be hungry, mid if I…" Penelope said, sitting down next to Emily, lifting up her sleeping top to get to her breast.
"Knock yourself out, I'm just a milk machine," Emily groaned, never a moment of peace.
Penelope lay the girl to the breast and she started to suck as Penelope curled close whispering, "I love you more than anything."
"And I you," Emily whispered in a softer tone, kissing her. Little Andrea let go of her mother's nipple as Emily said, "You think you can sleep now, Andy."
Andrea yawned and closer her eyes, curling up on top of her mother. Garcia curled a little closer, asking, "Do you regret having her."
"No, never, I am however thankful that Reid agreed to take Lucky for now," said Emily with a yawn. Reid had agreed to take their dog for the first month so they wouldn't have to worry about dog walking on top of everything else. Besides they saw her every day at always.
Emily cast a glance at Andrea suddenly feeling like the luckiest woman alive, having both a woman and a daughter she loved so dearly. The would be married in a couple of months and they had agreed upon Garcia adding her name to her own, so that bother she and little Andrea would be named Garcia Prentiss.
Garcia leaned her head on Emily's shoulder, whispering, "Goodnight, sweetheart."
"And to you, babe," Emily whispered, both slowly again falling asleep with a smile upon their lips.
Feedback always welcome and very much appreciated :o)
