Chapter 11: Early labor
I wake up when I feel liquid running down my legs and a sharp pain in my stomach. I bolt up out of my bed and shake Edward until he wakes up. He opens his eyes and looks up at me.
"What's wrong, are you ok?" He asks
"No, my water just broke, the baby's coming." I say calmly
He quickly and quietly gets out of his bed, grabs my overnight bag, takes my hand, and leads me to the infirmary. When we get there, we see Carmen asleep on one of the beds. Edward wakes her up and she looks at us.
"Are you in labor, Myra?" She asks
"Yea, it really hurts."
"Ok, lets get you to a bed." She says
Carmen and Edward gently lay me down on a bed and Edward goes to get me a glass of water and a cheeseburger. I look at the clock that's sitting on the bedside table, it's 10:18 p.m, I went to bed an hour ago and woke up in labor. Now I have to wait 15 hours (give or take) to have my daughter. Edward comes back with my food and drink and I start eating.
It's 11:00 a.m, and i'm in alot of pain. Edward was by my side for those whole ten hours and only left me to go to the bathroom or get something to eat. All of the initiates stopped by to visit me, and so did Eric, Four, Zeke, Lauren, and Max. The five of them said that they're staying because they called a day off of initiation because of my condition. Carmen comes back to check on me.
"How are you doing?" She asks
"I feel like I have to go to the bathroom."
She lifts up my infirmary gown and looks at my area. She looks back up at me.
"It's time to have the baby!" She says
'Oh dear god' I think.
"Ok Myra, you need to push. Ready, go!"
I start to push and I feel the head coming out of me. I keep on pushing and more pain follows everytime I push. There's a lot of pressure on me since Eric, Four, Zeke, Lauren, and Max are watching me push out my daughter. All the pushing and pain go on for a whole hour until I give one final push and I hear crying.
I hold Cassie in my arms, she's in a red blanket and she's sucking on a purple pacifier. She has Edwards blonde hair and my brown eyes. Everybody left to do other things so that Edward and I could have quality time with Cassie. I feel so tired from all the pain that I went through, I give Cassie to Edward and I fall asleep.
They let me out in the afternoon so that I can go eat dinner and resume the second stage of training. We take Cassie with us so that the initiates can meet her. When we get there, our friends attack us and ask us what her name is and why we didn't tell them about Cassie and we all sit down and eat.
After we eat, Four and Eric come up to us.
"Well initiates, we changed our minds about the day off of the second stage, since a kid was born and Myra is well rested, you will continue practicing with Four because today is your last day of practicing and tonight will be your last rankings and will determine if you stay in Dauntless or become Factionless." Eric says and walks away
"Follow me." Four says
We all follow him to the simulation room and he tells me that I have to go first. I walk into the sim room, sit in the chair, and Four puts me on the serum. I lean back and drift off.
After the simulation, Four says that I did good and that I was only in it for 23 minutes and that I will definately stay in Dauntless. I leave the room, take Cassie from Edward, and head back to the dorms to give her a bottle. After she finishes the bottle, I burp her and Edward walks through the door and sits on my bed.
"Well, I got out of my sim in 21 minutes and Four says I will definately be staying in Dauntless." He says with a smile
"I got out in 23 minutes."
"That's great, we can stay in Dauntless and raise Cassie together." He says with a smile on his face.
"Yea, i'm pretty excited, too."
"I love you." He tells me
"I love you too."
Our final rankings come in and Edward and I definately stay. We hug our friends, Tris, Christina, Will, and Al. We all get drinks together and spend the next two hours talking and holding the baby.
It's now 10:00 p.m and we all decide to go back to the dorms and get some sleep. I kiss Edward and he goes to his bed and falls asleep. Everybody is asleep now, i'm the only one that's up. I hold Cassie in my arms as she sleeps.
"Hey sweetie, I just wanted to tell you that I love you very much and I will always be there for you and take care of you. I promise."
