It's been months since that night we had in the bathroom; it broke both of our hearts but we pulled through and now we're preparing for our little one to come into the world. We didn't want to know the sex of the baby only because we wanted to be surprised but everyone else knows what we were having. I'm surprised everyone has kept the secret from us, especially Clarke she usually never keeps secrets for that long. But I am glad that everyone has kept this secret from us we really want to wait until the baby is born to know what we're having. I am secretly hoping we're having a little girl; I just think seeing Octavia with a little girl all dressed up would be the cutest thing ever. I think Octavia really wants a girl as well she keeps hinting at girl names. We have both a girl and boy named picked out just to have both names. We decided to not tell everyone the names we picked out either; we wanted that to be a surprise from them.
"You okay there Mama?", Octavia asked me when she noticed that I was spacing out. She's been calling me Mama the past few months to get me used to the idea of being the baby's other mother. We had a very long talk about me not wanting to be viewed as the baby's other mother. I thought it would be wrong since technology the baby had two parents just one isn't with us anymore. I was thinking I was going to be more the Aunt that helped raise them. But Octavia really wants me to be another mother to them and we finally agreed on it after she said that Lincoln would want that.
"Yeah, just lost in thought is all. How are the Braxton hicks coming along?", I said to her then asked her. She's been having Braxton hick contractions for days now but today they're more frequent and Abby believes she's going to go into labor.
"They're the same as before, but getting more frequent. Abby and Clarke are getting things set up just in case I go into labor. You ready to become a Mama?", she said to me then asked me with a big smile on her face. To which I gave back to her along with a hand squeeze.
"You bet I am.", I said to her as I leaned down and kissed her lips, then rubbed her extended stomach. I really can't wait until I'm a mother, it's a new experience but I'm glad that I get to experience it with the woman I love.
"I just want this kid to come already. My uterus feels like it's going to rip out of my stomach.", Octavia said to me which got me to giggle a little. "It's not funny.", she said to me with a whine to her voice and a pout on her lips. She can be so adorable sometimes. I do feel bad I wish I could take her pain away but sadly I can't.
"I know babe I'm sorry. You know if I could I would take your pain away. Why don't you try getting some rest and I'll get us something to eat?", I said then asked her.
"Sounds good.", is all she said to me before she laid down on her side and went back to sleep. I decided I'd let her sleep a little before getting food, I think I'm going to take a little trip to see Monty to make sure he needs help with anything.
It's been a few hours I should go check on my girl make sure she's not in full-blown labor; when I got to our room it seemed like Octavia was still sleeping. "O, how are you feeling?", I asked her as I opened the door to find Octavia sitting at the end of our bed with her eyes widened.
"My water just broke.", is all she said to me before I was at her side. I quickly rushed to get the radio so I could call Clarke and Abby before I was by her side rubbing her back.
"Are the contractions close together?", I asked her before I tried calling Clarke and Abby.
"No not yet at least but the sheets and my pants are soaked.", she said to me.
"Let me radio Clarke and Abby then we'll clean you up.", I said to her as I kissed her temple and turned the radio on. "Clarke, Abby.", I radioed into the medical bay so that they would be able to hear me.
"Raven, it's Chyler. Abby and Clarke are in surgery with a patient. Is everything okay?", Chyler radioed back.
"Octavia's water just broke, could you let them know when they're done? Her contractions aren't close together yet so we should have time.", I said back to Chyler.
"I will give them the message. Just hang in there until they come. If you need anything radio me.", Chyler said back to us.
"Thank you.", I said to her.
"You are welcome.", she said back to me before I put the radio on my nightstand and turned my attention to Octavia. "Okay let's get you changed then I'll change the bed. Can you stand?", I said then asked Octavia.
"Yeah but I might need to hold onto your shoulders to steady my self.", she said to me as I helped her up. "Just put a nightgown on me so it's easier when I'm ready to deliver the baby.", she said to me as I took her pants off and she sat down again so I could grab a nightgown for her.
"Okay let's take your shirt off and your bra so it's comfortable for you.", I said to her as I took her shirt and bra off then slipped the nightgown on her. "Let's move you to the chair so I can change the sheets.", I said to her as helped her up again and then to get her to the chair.
"Fuck Rave.", she said to me as she grabbed my wrist harder and stopped dead in her tracts. I'm assuming she's having a contraction.
"Breathe babe breathe. That's it, is this your first contraction?", I asked her once she seemed like she was in less pain.
"No my second one. I had the first one when my water broke which was like half an hour ago.", she said to me as we made it over to the chair across the room.
"Okay at least they're that far apart. Gives Clarke and Abby some time to get here.", I said to her as I started to undo our bed. "Should we just put towels down instead of ruining more sheets?", I asked Octavia wanting her to be comfortable with what I do with the bed.
"Just put the fitted sheet and then some towels over it. If the fitted sheet get's ruined who cares.", Octavia said to me as she started to rub her extended stomach.
"Sounds like a plan. Hanging in there Mommy?", I asked her as I was getting our bed set up. I do feel really bad I wish I could have the contractions for her but sadly I can't all I can do is be here for her and help her through this.
"Yeah, just feeling a lot of pressure is all.", Octavia said to me as we heard a knock on the door. That better be Abby and Clarke because if Octavia progresses anymore I have no idea how to deliver a baby. I walk over to the door and open it to Chyler on the other side. I guess she's better then just me.
"Not that I'm not glad you're here but where's Abby and Clarke?", I asked her as I let her in our room. Now I'm getting more nervous I really don't know who to deliver a baby.
"They are almost done with the surgery they sent me to come check Octavia, to see how far along she is. How is she doing?", Chyler asked me before we headed closer to the bed.
"She's okay, feeling a lot of pressure and her contractions are a half an hour apart. I don't think she's dilated yet is she?", I said then asked Chyler she would know about this stuff better then I would.
"She might be, I will have to check her before I can say if she is or not. Let's get her comfortable on the bed.", She said to me as we walked over to Octavia who was trying to rest.
"Babe Chyler's here. We have to move you to the bed so she can check you.", I said to Octavia.
"Hi Chyler.", Octavia said to Chyler when she opened her eyes.
"Hello Octavia.", Chyler said with a smile on her face when she greeted Octavia.
"Can you walk with just me or do you want Chyler to help too?", I asked Octavia not being able to tell how uncomfortable she is since I'm not the one in labor.
"I think we can manage.", she said to me as I helped her up and we walked slowly over to our bed. As I was helping her onto the bed she must have begun another contraction because she literally had a vise grip on my arm that I think my arm is going dead. "Another one?", I asked her as she just nodded her head and started to breathe in and out to ride out the pain. I really don't know what to do in this situation but rub her sides and try and calm her down as best as I can.
"I will be right back, I think Abby has something that can help.", Chyler said as she left our room; which to be honest made me nervous but I got this I can be there for Octavia and not freak out.
"They're getting closer together that was like 20 minutes part.", I said to her as I helped her to lie back on the bed.
"And more painful.", she said to me as I kissed her on the forehead and rubbed her stomach.
After getting her comfortable in bed everything happened so fast. Clarke and Abby ended up coming back with Chyler. Abby checked Octavia and she was fully dilated and ready to push. She's been pushing for about half an hour. She's been doing so great, the baby is just moving slow according to Abby that's normal for a first time pregnancy.
"Okay on the next contraction Octavia, I need you to push as hard as you can. We have to try and get this little one to move a little faster.", Abby said to Octavia as I was holding her hand. I could tell she's so exhausted that she probably doesn't want to push anymore but unfortunately she has no choice in the matter.
"You're doing great baby. Just think pretty soon we'll be holding our son or daughter.", I said to her with a small smile on my face as she gave me a little smile back.
"Okay here comes another contraction bare down O and push.", Clarke said to Octavia as Octavia did as she was told too. A few minutes later we heard the crying of our son or daughter.
"Congratulation girls it's a...", is all I heard before everything went black and everyone's voices sounded so far away. I think I just fainted and if so Octavia is going to kill me.
