A/N: I do not own Winx's Club. I would also like to point out that I have not gone through labour yet so I'm sorry if things are not 100% accurate.
I would also like to thank everyone who has stuck around to read my story and I love getting reviews from everyone, it really helps me when I'm trying to write. So I hope everyone enjoys this chapter.
Chapter Ten
"What do you mean your water just broke?" Riven asked as he started to panic.
"I mean I just had warm fluid run down my leg and I know I didn't just pee myself."
"But you said you had weeks left before you went into labour."
"Well this baby has decided it wants to be born now." Musa said as she started to look around for her friends.
"Well then we need to get you to the hospital." Riven said as he lead Musa off the dance floor.
"I have to tell the girls, they'll want to know." Musa protested.
"Fine! You go get in the car and I'll go tell them." Riven said as he rushed off back onto the dance floor to find the girls.
Finally after a few minutes of looking around Riven found Stella and Flora standing over by the cake table. "Guys, Musa just went into labour. I'm taking her to the hospital but she wanted me to let you girls know, so can you tell the others, I've gotta get her there before she gives birth in my car."
"Riven, calm down, it's going to be alright." Stella said. "She's not going to give birth in the car, you have plenty of time. Take her to the hospital, and I'll call the doctor and let him know you're on the way then I'll swing by the apartment and pick up Musa's overnight bag, okay?"
"Right." Riven said as he took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll call you when we get settled in and let you know what room she's in." Riven said before he took off towards his car.
"I can't believe this. I'll go tell Helia, Bloom, Tecna and Layla." Flora said. "Then I'll let my parents know we're leaving and we'll all meet you and Brandon at the hospital."
"No, you can't leave your own wedding reception." Stella tried to stop Flora.
"Oh sweetie, this is more important." Flora said. "Don't worry! I've already had a great time but Musa needs us."
"Right, I'll go get Brandon and we'll see you at the hospital.
"Oh God no!" Musa cried as a wave of contractions started to hit her. "Please baby, Mommy needs to get to the car and she can't walk if you're gonna push like that." Musa walked a few more steps towards the car but the pain got too much and she sat down in the grass.
"Musa, are you okay?" Timmy asked. He had gone out to his car to get a sweater for Tecna and on his way back found Musa sitting in the grass with tears running down her face.
"No. I'm in labour. Riven went to go tell the girls and told me to go to the car but it hurts too much to walk."
"Don't worry; I'll help you, come on." Timmy said as he bent down and scooped Musa up in his arms and started towards Riven's car.
"Wow, Timmy I didn't know you were so strong." Musa giggled a bit while she tried to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"Just because I'm skinny, doesn't mean I don't train as hard as the other guys." He laughed.
When he reached Riven's car, he put Musa back down on her feet and helped her into the car and got her seat belt buckled as Riven arrived.
"Are you okay?" Riven asked when he saw that Timmy was with Musa.
"Yeah, she's fine, she just need a little help." Timmy said giving Musa a wink.
"Thanks man, we'll see you at the hospital." Riven called as he started up the car and drove off down the road.
"Okay, we're here." Riven said as he pulled into a parking spot at the hospital twenty minutes later.
"Riven I need help getting out; these contractions are really painful…oh my God! I can't believe I agreed to have your baby." Musa yelled as contractions continued to hit her.
"It's okay Musa, just breathe, everything is going to be okay." Riven said as he opened up her door and helped her out of the car and into the hospital.
"Hi there, you must be Musa and Riven." A nurse said as she approached them with a wheelchair. "Your friend called to let us know you were on your way."
"Yes." Riven said as he helped Musa into the wheelchair. "We were at our friend's wedding, dancing when her water broke."
"All right then. Let's get you to your room and get you changed into a gown and then the doctor will come in and check out your progress." The nurse said as she wheeled Musa to her room with Riven following behind. "Here we are. Room seven-oh-five."
"Musa, I'm gonna go call the girls and let them know what room you're in. Stella is going to bring your bag with her, are you going to be alright?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. I'll be fine for a few minutes." Musa said as the contractions started to ease up.
"Okay, I love you, I'll be right back."
"Nice husband you have there." The nurse said as she helped Musa up onto the bed and out of her bridesmaid and into a gown.
"Yeah, he's really great. I just hope he forgives me for what I said in the car."
"Don't worry honey, every woman in here has told her husband she hated him or not to touch her ever again, but when that little baby comes out, all will be forgotten. You'll see." The nurse said as she pulled a blanket up to Musa's waist. "There we go, you just lay back and relax and I'll go get Dr. Burden to come check you out."
"Great. Oh, could I maybe get some water or ice chips?" Musa asked. "All this excitement has made me really thirsty."
"Sure. I'll be right back with that and I'll get you hooked up to an IV and some painkillers that might help those early contractions a bit."
"Perfect."
When Riven arrived back at the room ten minutes later, Dr. Burden was there checking over Musa.
"Okay, now Musa, can you tell me what your pain level is at on a scale of one to ten, one being you feel very little pain and ten being you're in agony."
"I would say right now I'm a five or six."
"Okay, and you're contractions are about ten minutes apart?"
"Yes."
"Okay, you seem to be doing well. And you're about five centimetres dilated." Dr. Burden said as he covered Musa back up and took off his gloves and washed his hands.
"That's good right?" Riven asked as he took a seat next to Musa.
"Yes, it's good. I would guess that she's probably been in labour all day today, but because of all the excitement, you probably didn't realize it." Dr Burden said. "Plus all that dancing, probably kicked started you and made your water break. Now, would you like an epidural? Or do you think you're doing okay so far?"
"Yeah I'm fine so far."
"Okay well just let a nurse know if you change your mind and I'll come back and check on you in an hour or so."
"Great, thanks." Riven said as Dr. Burden left the room. "So you're feeling okay?"
"Yeah. The nurse got me some water and hooked me up to some minor painkillers."
"Okay, well I called Stella and she said that she had picked up your bag and some other things and her and Brandon are on their way here."
"Perfect. Did she say anything about the other girls?"
"She said Flora was gonna let them know, so I'm sure they'll be here shortly."
"I can't believe we're gonna have a baby tonight or at least early tomorrow morning!"
"I know, it's amazing."
"Yeah and I'm glad the girls are gonna make it." Musa said as she laid back in bed but shot back up a few seconds later. "Oh my God! Riven, I was so concerned about telling the girls, I forgot about my dad, he's gonna be so upset if he misses the birth of his first grandchild, and your dad…oh my God! Riven you have to go call them and tell them to hurry."
"Musa, Musa, calm down." Riven said as he laid her back down and pulled the blankets up to her chest. "It's okay; I called them as soon as I got off the phone with Stella. Your dad is on his way and my dad said he was driving back from my grandmother's so he would get here as soon as he could."
"Oh, thank you. I never would have forgiven myself if they missed out on the birth."
"Everything is alright. You just need to relax so that you can push that baby out." Riven then kissed her on the forehead before sitting back down next to her. "Now, I vote we watch some TV, I think wrestling is on."
"Riven!"
"Knock, knock." Stella said as her and Brandon entered Musa's hospital room a half an hour later. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay, it's great to you and thanks for picking up my bag." Musa said as she gave Stella a hug.
"You're welcome. We also picked up some things for the baby at the gift shop." Stella said as she put the bags down and pulled out a teddy bear and two little outfits. "Blue for if it's a boy and pink for if it's a girl. They both say 'World's Best Godmother.'"
"Stella, you're spoiling him or her and they aren't even here yet." Riven said as he hugged Stella and Brandon.
"Well sue me." Stella said as she stuck out her tongue at Riven.
"We also picked up the baby's car seat; it's in our car right now." Brandon said. "I figured you might need that and this way you won't have to drive home to pick it up."
"Thanks man." Riven said.
"Here we are, room seven-oh-five." They heard a voice say in the hallway before the faces of Bloom, Sky, Tecna, Timmy, Layla and William appeared in the doorway.
"May we come in?" Bloom asked.
"Of course." Musa smiled as they entered.
"Look at you; even in labour you're still pretty." Sky said as he leaned over and kissed Musa on the cheek.
"Aw you're so sweet Sky." Musa giggled. "Just wait till it's time to push, then I wouldn't look so good."
"Now that's not true, Princess, you've always looked good."
"Daddy!" Musa cried as her father entered the room and hugged Musa tightly. "I'm so happy you made it."
"I wouldn't miss this for anything."
"I just feel so bad that it had to happen at Flora's wedding. I've been telling you guys for days I was fine and I go and go into labour at her reception. I hope I didn't ruin it."
"My friend Musa would never ruin my wedding." Flora said as her and Helia entered the room, Flora was still dressed in her wedding gown and Helia in his tux. "Sorry it took us to so long to get here; it's hard to escape your own wedding reception."
"You didn't have to come." Musa said starting to cry.
"Oh sweetie, we wanted to be here." Flora said as she wiped the tears from Musa's eyes and hugged her. "Our families can continue partying just as well without us and we don't leave for our honeymoon till the weekend."
"We also brought everyone's things from the hotel; we figured no one would have time to change." Helia laughed as he handed over a couple of duffle bags and everyone took turns changing in the bathroom into more comfortable clothes then their tuxes and bridesmaid dresses.
"Thank you guys for everything." Riven said. "I just hope my dad makes it here in time."
"I'm sure he will." Brandon said. "Musa can keep this little guy or girl in there for a little bit longer."
"I'll try my best."
A few hours later Musa had dilated a few more centimetres and her contractions were getting closer together and more painful.
"It's okay Musa, just breathe, that's right, deep breath in and deep breath out." Stella said as she dabbed a cold wash cloth over her face. "Great job, keep breathing."
"This is so painful; I don't think I can do it." Musa cried. "It hurts so much."
"Yes you can, it's going to be alright. Just hold onto my hand and squeeze." Riven said as he took his wife's hand into his. "The contractions will pass in a few minutes."
"I think I need to push." Musa cried out and started to push a little.
"No, don't push; I'll go get the doctor first." Bloom called as she ran out of the room.
"Riven, I can't do this, I really can't."
"Yes you can, you can do this, I believe in you."
"I hear someone is ready to push." Dr. Burden said as he entered the room with Bloom behind him. "I'll just get your friends and dad to leave the room and I'll check you over again and then we'll see what we can do."
"Okay." Musa said between deep breaths.
"We'll be right outside, honey. Don't you worry; everything is going to be okay." Her father said as he kissed Musa on the forehead and left the room with Musa's friends.
"I feel so bad for Musa." Flora said as she took a seat in the chairs outside of the room. "She's in so much pain."
"She'll be okay, she's tough remember." Helia said.
"Yeah, I remember when she was just a little kid, she fell while spinning around her living room and broke her arm." Stella said. "She went three whole days before going to the doctors."
"I remember that, her mother felt so bad." Musa's father said. "But she was a tough little thing, didn't even cry when they put on the cast or when they told her she'd have to spend the summer in one and couldn't go swimming."
"I hope Riven's dad makes it in time." Bloom said. "I think she's going to be pushing soon."
"I tried calling his cell but got no answer, so hopefully he's close." Musa's father said.
"Hey everyone." Dr Burden said as he walked out of the room. "Musa is about ready to push we're just gonna get the room set up first and then you can all go back in and join her."
"Great." Musa's father said.
"I can't believe in a few minutes time, Musa is gonna be a mommy." Stella laughed a bit.
"She's gonna be great, I can't believe Riven is gonna be a daddy, I never could have pictured that when I first met him."
"Yeah, you should have seen in him in high school before he met Musa." Timmy said. "He was a regular jerk."
"She really helped to change him. Am I too late?" Riven's father asked as he ran up to the group.
"Nope, you're just in time." Musa's father said. "They're just setting up the room now and then we can go in but the kids are doing great so far."
"Great, I drove like a manic to get here on time." Riven's father said as he sat down to catch his breath.
Riven and Musa were alone in the room after Dr. Burden and the nurses left the room to get the necessary equipment they would need.
"Well this is finally it, soon we're gonna be parents." Riven said as he stroked Musa's hand.
"Do you think we're ready?" Musa asked.
"Well we may be a little young but I'm sure we'll make it work."
"Yeah, I'm sure we will too." Musa smiled up at Riven. "So what do you want a girl or a boy?"
"I don't care as long as he or she is healthy and happy, but maybe a boy so I have someone to watch wrestling with and play basketball or ride motorbikes with."
"You are not taking our baby on that motorbike and I think it's a girl anyways."
"Hey, you love riding that bike and if it's a girl then I'll take her out on it and play basketball with her."
"You're unbelievable."
"Well you picked me and it's too late to turn back now." Riven laughed.
"How are you folks doing?" A nurse asked as she came into the room with a tray of medical instruments.
"We're good." Riven said as the nurse started to set up.
"Great, well we'll almost ready." The nurse said. "Then we'll get your friends and family in here and it'll be time to push."
"Okay." Musa said. "Well I guess it's time."
"Yep, it's time to meet our baby. I love you Musa."
"I love you too Riven."
Five minutes later Dr. Burden was back, dressed in a pair of scrubs. Everyone was gathered around the room and Riven was excited that his father had made it in the nick of time.
"Okay Musa. I'll get you to scoot down to the edge of the bed and if Riven wants to hold your hand, we can get one of your friends to hold your other leg if they'd like to." Dr. Burden said.
"I'll do it." Stella stepped up and took hold of Musa's left leg.
"Okay, Musa on the next contraction I want you to push down as hard as you can, okay?"
"Yes." And when the next contraction hit her, Musa bit down on her bottom lip and pushed at hard as she could.
"…Eight, nine, ten. Great job, Musa, keep it up." The nurse called as she counted to ten as Musa pushed. "Okay, take a breath and on the next one push again."
"You can do this baby. I know you can." Riven cheered her on as Musa squeezed his hand and continued to push.
"…Eight, nine, ten. Oh Musa, he or she is coming I can see a bit of the head." Stella said a few minutes later as she continued to hold onto Musa's leg.
"You can do it Princess." Musa's dad cheered on.
"It hurts so much." Musa cried.
"I know, but you're doing so well." Riven said. "Just squeeze my hand, you're doing perfect."
"That's it Musa, push hard. Your baby is almost here, just a few more pushes."
"I can't do this, I can't do!" Musa cried as she continued to push.
"Yes you can, you're so close." The nurse said as she continued to count to ten with each push.
"Okay, Musa, the head is almost out. I just need you to give me one really big, strong push and the head will be out…okay, on the count of three." Dr. Burden said. "One, two, three!"
"That's it Musa, push, push, push!"
All the girls and guys cheered her on and within a few seconds a loud cry pierced the room.
"We did it, we really did it." Musa cried as she flopped back onto the bed, exhausted from all the pushing. A few tears rolled down her face as the doctor took the baby over to a small examination bed.
"Yes, you did it." Riven said as he kissed her. "I love you so much."
"What is it? Did we have a girl or boy?" Musa asked looking over at the doctor and nurses.
"You have a beautiful and healthy baby…"
Okay, okay I know I'm terrible for ending this chapter as a cliff hanger but I've been debating back and forth with myself on what the baby will be and I just haven't come to the right decision yet. So instead of having you all wait forever again I decided to get this chapter up as soon as I could so at least you would all have something to read. I hope you like it and I look forward to reading your comments and reviews and hope you'll stay tuned for the epilogue to my story.
