I sighed as I waited in the Colorado airport. I have been here for a little over four hours and I was so close to home that I could taste it. Closer to Cat, who was a little close to nine centimeters by now. Beck's wife was keeping me updated on every little thing. Cat even sent me a few pictures, some cute and some I could honestly do without seeing.
I sighed as playing with my phone, constantly checking to see if there were any new messages and, to my luck none. I growled out louder, it has been an hour and no update yet. It was just the last one saying that she was close to nine centimeters and a picture Cat sent. I leaned forward as putting my face in my hands and groaned loudly. I felt a tap on my arm, causing me to growl again and look up to see a woman looking at me concerned. I glared at her, only making the woman smile, "Are you alright, I mean I see you aren't, err well, would you like to talk about it?" I sighed as shaking my head and leaning back in my seat. Really not in the mood to talk to anyone.
"Ah, not one to talk huh? Well, I will guess what is wrong! I will say, you are worried by the look on your face, I assume because someone you love is, err hmm sick, no! In the hospital!" The blonde said with a look of determination on her face. I just rolled my eyes as nodding. "I knew it! What are they in the hospital for? From what I can see, someone is having a baby?" My head whipped up to glance at her with a confused look plastered on my face, how in the world did she know that?
The look on her face was one that she knew she hit that spot on. "Oh! Right again!" This really made me both pissed and intrigued. How in the hell does she know so much? Did she somehow read my text messages over my shoulder?
"Mind telling me how the hell you know all of that?" I asked with a bit of venom in my voice. She just giggled more which really pissed me off. I wanted to slap her across the face a few times. The way she was smiling only made me more pissed.
"I can see the signs from a mile away! I was in your shoes a few years ago my friend." She said with a grin "Don't call me your friend." I said, a hint at the old Jade coming out of me. She just shrugged and kept smiling. "Do you know if it is a boy or a girl?" She asked as leaning back in the crappy plastic seats we were forced to sit on as waiting.
"Don't know, never found out." I said as sighing and looking at my phone again, still nothing. I still had an hour before the flight would board. So that means hopefully in forty minutes they would start boarding. I ignored the woman next to me until I felt her hand on my shoulder, I snapped my head in her direction and growled at her. "Never touch me." I said in a demanding normal tone I had used on Trina once. She only smiled and laughed, "Gosh you are just like my wife Sara, she acts the same way you do!"
I just rolled my eyes at her, there was someone like me? I highly doubt that, I am the only me there is ever going to be. Unless you count Cat's friend she that was staying with her when we were in high school, then maybe but, even then there was things that were so different between us.
"You know, I can understand that you are in denial a bit." She began to say which caused me to look at her again. What the hell would I be in denial about? I had nothing that would make me even remotely in denial.
"Err wait! Let me rephrase that! Process is what I meant! Like in the process of welcoming a new life into the world where you have no idea how much it will change you. Trust me, I would know. Well not me, but Sara. I can see how much it has changed her. I'm sorry I ramble when I'm nervous. You must think I am a complete weirdo. I'm not, I promise! Just a plain old girl traveling with her wife and child!" The blonde said as smiling. I rolled my eyes again at her, just like Cat.
"Felicity!" The named was called, causing us to both look up. About ten feet away was a blonde, putting a child's book back on her shoulder. I raised an eye brow before looking down to see a small three year handing from her arm as laughing. The child looked like the woman next to me. I shook my head as looking down at my phone again.
"Oh! My family calls me away. Good luck with the baby and the girlfriend oh random lady!" She said as standing up, grabbing her bag. I looked at her like she has grew a second head. "Girlfriend? She isn't my girlfriend... We're just friends." My reply made her smile and wave, "Oh! Well, Good luck then!" She said quickly before hurrying to the woman and small child who's eyes lit up when they saw her.
I shook my head again to shake away the craziness that just happened. What the hell was going on in the mind of that woman to think that I had any kind of feelings for Cat that weren't platonic. She was only even in my mind when the baby was. Crap I wasn't going to get things ready in time now that Cat had gone into labor early. I quickly looked up the number on my pear phone for the baby safety place. Getting the number and calling them. I sighed as I got a appointment for the day after tomorrow because someone had just canceled right before I had called.
I quickly texted Beck who seemed to have been with his kids. Asking him to get that second coat on the wall in the baby's room. He replied with that he would do it for me no problem. I smiled as leaning back in the crappy chair. Content, yet still on edge. Just then my phone went off. I quickly opened up my messages to see a text from Cat. 'I'm waiting for you Jadey! Hope you get here soon! :D' I chuckled at the oddity that was Cat. Replying back that I would be a few more hours before I could get there but I was on my way. She sent me a picture back of her giving a thumbs up. I rolled my eyes for what felt like the thousandth time that night.
It was just before midnight when I made it to LA. Hurrying my way to the hospital as fast as I could. When we got to the hospital I threw money at the driver before climbing out of the cab and running into the hospital. I ran towards the desk out of breath. "I'm here to see Cat Valentine!" The nurse looked up at me, "What is your relation to the patient?" She said I growled at her "I'm here to see Cat Valentine! I'm Jade West! I should be on her freaking papers!" I yelled, the nurse jumped up before taking me behind the double doors. "You should of said that miss! She was just wheeled into the delivery room! Here change into these scrubs and I will take you to her."
The short nurse handed me scrubs as opening up a bathroom. I went in, quickly changing into the scrubs. Putting the clothes I had on before the scrubs into my suitcase. I came out and was taken to the delivery room, when I got in there I could here Cat crying. "What are you doing to her?!" I yelled at the doctor. Cat looked up and smiled, sweat pouring down her face, hair a complete mess. She looked so tired. "Jade!" She yelled out in relief. I smiled as making my way over to her. Taking my place, giving her my hand.
Cat nodded as grabbing onto my hand. She began to push again when the doctor told her. I winced at the unusual strength she was using to squeeze my hand. "Just a bit more Cat, You are close!" I heard the doctor say. Cat nodded as pushing again. With one final push the baby was out. The baby started crying as I was trying to see it. "It's a girl!" The doctor said as holding her up. She was super pink, and wailing her heart out. Yep this is Cat's kid alright, super powerful lungs. The doctor let me but the cord, I couldn't help the stupid smile that was on my face.
This kid is going to be the end of me, crying and all. I smiled as the moved her over to weigh her. Just then monitors started to go off. I turned quickly to look at Cat who looked pale as ghost. "Cat!"
