Sweet Love

Chapter 11

As the day passed Kenzie was resting on the couch and was having a hard time trying to find somthing on TV and there was nothing on. Becky had come home and had gone straight up to start studying for a huge test that she had that coming Friday. John was looking through the cabinets to find something to eat.

"Babe we have no food in the house." John complained

"Babe we do too. Tonight supper is taken care of we have to order by 4:30 then they will deliver it to the house. I have called the bakery and your cake is ready and I need someone to go and pick it up and its also paid for." Kenzie said as she sat up on the couch.

"Well you seem to have things planned out honey. I will go and pick up the cake. Do you want anything while I am out?" John asked

"Sorry I couldn't help but over hear that the cake is ready. I dont think that the birthday boy needs to see the cake." Becky said. "I can go and pick the cake up. If that is okay"

"She has a point there Johnny. That is fine Becky. Before you pick the cake up will you stop and get me a Dt Mt Dew please?" Kenzie asked

"Sure. Be back soon. John do you want a Mt Dew?"

"Sure Becky and thanks." John said as he sat down by Kenzie on the couch and placed his hand on their baby who kicked him right away.

Becky wasn't gone long and was back home with the cake and drinks. After talking to Kenzie for a few minutes she headed upstairs to study till it was time for supper. It wasn't long after Becky was back at the house when the doorbell rang and in walked Stacey and Randy. Both looking happy and refreshed in each other.

"Hey you welcome back." Kenzie said

"Thanks and it good to be back." Stacey said as she sat down next to Kenzie and hugged her sister in law.

"I bet. How was the honeymoon?" John asked

"Relaxing. We enjoyed every moment of it." Randy said

"Let me guess you didn't see the outside of the hotel the first few days." Kenzie said with a laugh and placed her hand on the baby who kicked her right away. "She is really kicking. Stacey put your hand here."

"Wow she a strong kicker." Stacey said.

"Yes she is." Kenzie said and smiled at John.

"John it slipped my mind how is the birthday boy?" Stacey aked

"Good." John said

Kenzie was starting to get thirsty even though Becky just brought her a bottle of Dt Mt Dew she wanted some ice water and stood to get it.

"Sit down you aren't to be up Kenzie" John said gently

"John I can get me something to drink." Kenzie told him

"NO Kenzie sit down." John yelled

Tears formed right away in Kenzie's eyes and before they were shed she looked at her husband and stood back up and walked up the stairs "Ugh Johnny" and kept walking up the stairs and into their bedroom and shut the door behind her and laid down.

"Damn John!" Stacey exclaimed

"Baby" John stated

"What is wrong John?" Stacey asked

"She was placed back on full bed rest yesterday and she isn't happy." John explained and sat down on the couch and started to cry. Becky had passed Kenzie on the stairs and knew something was wrong.

"John what is wrong with Kenzie?" Becky asked

"She was placed back on full bed rest yesterday and she isn't happy." John repeated " Dr Sansa put her on bedrest and well she hasn't been in the best of moods."

"That isn't good." Stacey said

"No. The doctor just said her cervix was tender and that was it. I hate that I yelled but she isn't to be on her feet. I am very worried about her and Vaughn" John said

"I will go and check on her." Stacey said as she stood

"Thanks sis." John said as he started to cry.

Stacey walked up and knocked on the door to the master bedroom and sat down on the bed next to Kenzie who still had tears in her eyes. "Honey are you okay?" Stacey asked

"No, he has never yelled at me. This is the first time even when we were dating unless he was downstairs and I was still getting ready and we had to be somewhere." Kenzie said

"I know honey. John is just worried about you and Vaughn. Do you mind if I check you over?" Stacey asked

"That is fine. My medical bag is in my closet if you need it." Kenzie said. "You are starting to show some Stacey."

Stacey smiled at Kenzie and got up and walked into their closet and grabbed Kenzie's medical bag and a few minutes later she was checking Kenzie over. After taking Kenzie's blood pressure Stacey wasn't happy that her blood pressure was up but after getting yelled at and yelling back didn't help. After listening to the baby who was very content she checked Kenzie's cervix and when she did her water broke as she was dilated to a four and 50% effaced. Stacey called the hospital and also for the medics to come and pick Kenzie.

"Sweetie your water broke and you are dilate to a four and 50% effaced. I called the hosptial they know we are on the way and I call for the medic to transport you there." Stacey said and Kenzie just nodded her head in agreement.

John waited downstairs with Randy talking to him knowing his wife was completely worn out and tired of being pregnant. After talking to Randy for a few more minutes John stood and walked up the stairs to say he was sorry for yelling at her. John walked into their bedroom and saw that Kenzie was getting changed and Stacey was helping her. "Kenzie you okay?"

"I will be Johnny, we have a little one who decided that she wants out of my body. My water broke." Kenzie said

"Okay then lets get you in the car." John said

"I called for the medics John we can't move her as I don't want to risk infection or complications. I will ride with her and John you and Randy can follow. It will be okay John." Stacey told him.

"John my bag is by the back door a the car seat is in my SUV." Kenzie told him.

"Okay baby. Do you want your own pillows?" John asked

"I do honey." Kenzie said

It wasn't long till Kenzie was now in her own room at the hospital and after being poked for an IV, and her epidural she was now resting and laying on her back which she didn't like.

"John" Kenzie said

"What is it honey?" John asked as he sat down on the bed next to his wife

"Did you call our parents? You and Randy can make the phone calls. Then if you or Randy could get me some ice chips." Kenzie said quietly as she was having a hard time keeping her eyes open.

"I will get the ice chips, apple juice flavored or grape flavored?" Randy asked

"Apple. Thanks Randy" Kenzie said and smiled at her big brother.

"Not a problem." Randy said and walked out the door of her room and down to the nurses station to find the flavored ice chips.

John stepped out into the hall and called his parents first. John knew he would be waking his parents up but it was worth it. After talking to his mom she said they would pack quickly and catch the next flight out. The next call was to Kenzie's parents and it went the same way. Elaine said that they would be on the next flight out and they would see them soon.

Stacey was now walking back into the room to check on Kenzie's progress and needless to say she was now at a 6cm and 75% effaced and they still had a while.

"Stacey can you help me lay on my side please?" Kenzie asked

"Sure honey." Stacey said as she helped Kenzie roll to her right side. "How is your migraine honey?"

"Still hurts. Can you turn the lights out and keep it dark in here by chance?" Kenzie asked

"That is fine honey. Randy should be right back any minute and John just got off the phone with our parents and he will be in soon. I will give you some medication to help with the migraine and that can speed up labor as well." Stacey said as both boys walked back into the room.

"Our parents are on their way. How are you feeling Kenzie?" John asked as he sat down and started to rub his hand up and down her back.

"Here is your ice chips flavored with apple juice." Randy said and smiled at his sister.

"Kenzie I will be right back with some meds and I think we are going to go ahead and start the pitocin to get labor really started." Stacey said

"Okay that is fine." Kenzie answered

Stacey wasn't gone long and when she walked back in she had Kenzie's chart and after pushing the meds slowly after that a nurse came in to start the bag of pitocin and after that was in place Stacey told Kenzie to rest. It was nearing 11 pm and Kenzie was feeling more pressure and was now dilated to a 9cm and almost completely effaced. When Stacey checked Kenzie she noticed that she still had part of the sac around her cervix and after clearing that up and it was a few minutes later and Kenzie was now complete.

"Stacey I have the urge to push." Kenzie said

"Okay honey let me check you one last time and we can go from there." Stacey said as she was doing the exam she was happy to announce that Kenzie was ready to deliver.

John, I want you on Kenzie's left side and Randy I want you on her right side. Both of you boys support her back when she is pushing and the two nurses will help hold her legs." Stacey said

Both Randy and John did as they were told and Kenzie was now squeezing the life out of their hands each time she pushed. It wasn't long and after pushing for nearly 40 minutes they were now hearing the cries of their daughter. As Stacey cleaned her up she placed the baby on Kenzie's chest and showed John where to cut the cord and a few minutes later one of the nurses took the baby to clean her up and check her vitals while Stacey cleaned Kenzie up.

"Kenzie your little girl is very healthy, she weighs in at 6lbs even and 22 inches long. What is her name?" Abbie asked as she wrapped the baby up in a blanket and walked over and placed the baby girl in her mommy's arms

"Vaughn Jules Cena. What time was she born?" Kenzie asked

"At 11:50pm ten minutes before midnight." Stacey answered "Good news you didn't tear naturally so that means no stitches."

"Hey man I totally forgot to wish you happy birthday sorry about that. Happy birthday to you both." Randy said "Congrats to you both. She is a beauty."

"Thanks man." John said as he sat down next to his wife on the bed and pressed a kiss to her foreahead. "I love you honey."

"I love you too Johnny. And yes Happy Birthday. Sorry to ruin your birthday." Kenzie said

"You didn't ruin it at all. I am proud to share my birthday with our little angel." John said

"Stacey thank you so much for delivering our daughter that means the world to us." Kenzie said to her sister in law.

"You are most welcome honey it was my pleasure to deliver my niece." Stacey said as she sat down in chair.

"Who is taking over my case and for the peds?" Kenzie asked

"Dr Parsons out of our office and he is very easy to get along with and Dr Williams for Vaughn who is very sweet." Stacey said "May I hold my niece and yes you can change but wait about 30 minutes before you change so the epidural has worn off and you can walk on your legs and have either John or one of the nurses help you honey."

"Stacey how are you feeling honey?" Randy asked

"Tired and worn down but happy that I am holding our niece." Stacey said

While the four were talking and holding the baby one of the nurses walked in with Kenzie's chart and handed it to Stacey so she could write the orders for pain medication and if there were any problems. Stacey and Kenzie talked about pain and sad that since she had the IV still in they could do pain management that way over night and tomorrow morning then go to oral meds by tomorrow afternoon
