It's been a couple of days since we solved Ashley's case; Andy and I had the day off so I let her sleep in. She is now in her 8th month of her pregnancy and she hasn't been sleeping as well as she normally would.
It is hard to believe that in a month we are going to be parents; I am ready for this; I know Andy is too, we both are. We got the nursery ready a while back. I was making breakfast, I had been concentrating on not burning anything as I heard a thump upstairs, I thought it was Andy so I left it.
I then heard her call for me. I turned the stove off and rushed up to our room; Andy was sitting up in bed and clutching her stomach, she looked at me "Sam I think there's something wrong, I'm not sure but I think I am having contractions" I looked at her "Are you sure sweetheart?, I mean you have another month left".
She nodded "Yeah, I think our baby wants out now!" I could tell she was panicking. I tried to calm her down; which wasn't really working, she let out a scream. I placed my hand on her back and rubbed it.
I tried to remember what I read in the baby books that Andy insisted that we buy. I remembered reading about Braxton Hicks contractions; I asked Andy if that was what she was feeling and she shook her head. Our baby couldn't be coming already? I mean it is common for this to happen but I thought we had more time, it's not that we aren't ready we are, of course we are, but still.
I got Andy comfortable and then I rang Traci and asked her to come to our place. She asked if Andy was ok. I didn't know how to answer that so I put Andy on the phone.
Andy sounded different "Trace, I need you to come here please. I don't know what is going on but I need you here" I could hear Traci on the other end reassuring Andy that everything would be fine and she would be there soon.
Traci got to our place in 15 minutes and she was sitting beside Andy in a flash. She looked at her and then me. She looked at me and smiled calmly "Sam we need to get her to hospital you two are gonna be parents today" I nodded and gathered Andy's hospital bag.
Traci helped Andy off the bed and down the stairs and then she helped her into the truck. She explained that she needed to get back to work but she would tell Oliver and the others. Andy and I took off towards the hospital.
When we got to the hospital I helped Andy out of the truck and then we made our way into the hospital. I sat her down and then went to the reception desk. I looked at the receptionist "Hi I'm Sam Swarek, my wife Andy is in labour" she nodded "Ok sir, we will get your wife situated in a wheelchair and then we will take her to the maternity ward. I nodded.
I went to where Andy was sitting and smiled, she looked at me, I noticed that she looked terrified "Sam what if we can't do this? What if I can't do this?" I looked at and smiled "Sweetheart we can do this, and you can do this, I am going to be with you every step of the way" she nodded and kissed me.
A doctor came with a wheelchair and he helped Andy into it. We made our way to the maternity ward and got Andy into bed. A nurse came in and got Andy hooked up to the monitors; once she left Andy called down a bit.
Andy clutched her stomach and moaned softly; I held her hand and kept her calm. She looked at me "Our little girl s going to have the best daddy in the world" I smiled "She is also going to have the best mommy in the world too" she smiled.
The nurse came back in and looked at Andy "Mrs Swarek how's the pain?" Andy looked at her "On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say about a 10.5" the nurse nodded and went to get the pain medication. Andy opted for gas and air, instead of any drugs.
As soon as Andy got the gas and air she seemed fine. The doctor came back in and checked to see how dialated Andy was, she looked pained once that happened, he looked at us "Mrs Swarek you are 6 centimetres dilated not long now" Andy nodded, once the doctor left she looked at me "This is your fault mister for putting me here in the first place" I nodded "I'm sorry sweetheart".
I knew she didn't mean it. She was in pain. Andy's contractions got stronger; I could tell by the way she was breathing. I reassured her that everything was fine and she would be ok as we would have our baby girl by the end of it. She nodded and placed her head on the pillow.
The doctor came back in and smiled; he checked Andy again and then he said "It's time, are you ready to meet your little girl?" Andy nodded. I stood up and sat down behind her; I grabbed both of her hands, the doctor instructed her to push, she did. I kept encouraging her.
Andy was beginning to feel tired. The doctor told her "Only a few more pushes and your baby will be here" Andy nodded and pushed again. She looked at the doctor "I can't do this anymore" the doctor looked at her "Yes you can, come on one more push" Andy bore down and pushed; the next thing we heard a high pitched cry.
Our little girl was here. The doctor congratulated us, he asked me to cut the cord. He then placed our little girl on Andy's chest. She was perfect and so tiny. My heart filled with love as soon as I laid my eyes on her. The nurse then took her and weighed her. She was the perfect weight; even though she had been born a few weeks early.
The doctor handed her to me and I couldn't believe it; she was the perfect mixture of me and Andy. The doctor asked if we had a name picked out. I nodded and looked at Andy.
Andy looked at me then at the doctor "Her name is Samantha Grace Swarek" I smiled and looked down at our daughter "Welcome to the world Samantha Grace".
I text Traci and Oliver that their god daughter had arrived and they congratulated us, they would be coming later with the rest of 15. This was the best day ever.
Andy and I are parents and it is the best feeling in the world.
