Chapter 37:
Thirty minutes later Cara has progressed into the dilation stages of labour and now she is feeling the pain more than ever, She is currently on her hands and knees in the lift and she is sweating heavy, she just wants the torture to end.
Cara cries out in pain once again as the contractions get closer together and stronger, "Not long now Cara, just keep breathing. Remember what the midwife said-" Raf is cut off by a very annoyed Cara, but Raf continues to rub her back in a circle motion.
"Screw what the midwife told me Raf! I'm not giving birth in here especially not in front of skinny skull face!" Cara groans as she look at Jac who she is aiming it all at, and unfortunately for Jac, Cara is holding onto her shoulder and they feel like they are going to break any second.
Zosia gives a little laugh to what Cara has just said about Jac, but Jac glares at Zosia and she tries to keep a straight face.
Jac has had enough of being a human punch bag to Cara and turns to Zosia and says "F2 take over for me, I swear if I'm witness to another baby being born in front of me without any warning I'm going to scream" Jac grits her teeth as Cara digs her nails in again.
"I do have a name you know" Zosia replies is instantly.
"Good you should tell me it sometime" Jac says sarcastically.
Zosia rolls her eyes and mutters "Miserable cow."
"I'm sorry what did you just call me?" Jac says as she pulls away from Cara who falls forwards and ends up on her hands and knees again, with Raf still rubbing her back.
Cara looks up at the consultant and the junior doctor and says "she called you a miserable cow" Cara doesn't know it yet but she has just caused the eruption of the most three volcanic members of staff that you could put in a lift together.
"Thanks a lot Cara you've just dropped me in it" Zosia says to Cara who lets out another cry and moan as the worst contraction she has had ripples down her stomach.
"Ha! You defiantly have been F2!" Jac says again with a smirk on her face.
Cara looks at Raf and they both exchange funny confused looks.
"My name is Zosia for heaven's sake! When will you get that in your brain!" Zosia says in a slightly raised tone.
Jac laughs once again "if I really wanted to know why I'd of taken up neurosurgery" Jac replies back with a smart comment.
Zosia rolls her eyes and knees down in front of Cara, "Will you shut up, your both annoying me!" Cara interrupts their argument.
"Me? Ha, we wouldn't be arguing like this if you hadn't decided to go into labour" Jac says in shock.
Zosia rolls her eyes and tries to help Cara the best she can but Jac hasn't finished yet.
"Me? But I didn't decided that my waters were going to break did I?" Cara says as she feels another contraction come along, which is urging her to push this time.
She doesn't say anything because Jac is really annoyed with Cara, Cara and Jac continue to argue so Raf decides to intervene "Ladies, Ladies this isn't the time to be arguing!" Raf says as he tries to calm them down.
They break into an awkward silences for what feels like ages but is only a matter of seconds, the silence is broken by Cara who moans as another contraction comes along, she grabs Zosia's wrists and digs her nails in before screaming in her face.
"Ow, Ow, Ow... Cara this really hurts let go!" Zosia says as she tries to grit her teeth and bare it.
"Oh grow up F2" Jac says sarcastically as a smile forms on her face.
Zosia glares at Jac and replies "you try doing this she has a iron grip" Zosia says as she looks down at Cara who is still on her knees.
"Tell me about it" Raf says as both Jac and Zosia who look at him and they see that Cara has hold of Raf's wrist between her legs and won't let go of him.
"Raf you're not going anywhere near me!" Cara cries as she tightens her grip on both Zosia and Raf.
"Cara I have too, I have to check how far along you are" Raf says as he tries to free his wrist.
Cara screams in pain and says "Raf the last time I let you anywhere near me down there, you got me pregnant" Cara moans and Zosia blushes a little.
They finally talk Cara around and they manage to get both their wrists back, "Cara you haven't got long left now, we might be able to get you to maternity if they manage to get the lift working" Raf smiles as he pulls Cara so she is sort of looking at Raf.
Luckily for everyone in that lift they are not alone anymore and somehow maintenance have managed to open the lift door which open onto Keller ward and Serena and a few others have managed to pass a few things down which might be needed.
Cara looks at Raf she has tears in her eyes and she says "I don't want to do this anymore" she cries as she leans into Raf's chest.
Raf rubs her cheek and says "It's nearly over darling, just keep going for me?" he questions as he kisses Cara's head and wipes away her tears. Zosia sits the opposite side of the lift to them and smiles at them, she can't get over how cute they are together, she gives the soon to be new parents another smile and looks down at her phone to see a text from Dom, 'Didn't realise you had taken a rotation in gynaecology LOL'
Zosia replies to the text and then looks over at Jac who is cursing to herself, she didn't want to be stuck in the lift at all and especially because Cara is in the lift and is about to give birth.
Suddenly Cara makes everyone jump, she had been pushing for a while and then suddenly panics "Oh my god the head!" She announces and Raf springs upright from his slouched position up against the wall.
"What?... Cara why didn't you tell me?" he questions as he helps Cara sit back against the wall and lifts her legs so he can have a look. He then looks up and around at Zosia and says "Need your help... Cara won't let me touch her so how about you deliver your first baby?" Raf questions and Zosia's face so signs of excitement and fear.
Raf moves out the way and sits himself next to Cara, he chucks a bunch of towel at Jac who is least impressed by this move "W-w-what do I-i-i do?" Zosia panics and Jac gives her a smirk.
"Just catch it F2!" Jac says as she crawls over next to her and gets a few things out, Jac decides to talk Zosia through what she is meant to be doing why Raf tries to help Cara the best he can through it.
Raf holds Cara's hand and tells her everything is going to be alright and she just needs to go along with the contractions now, "Come on Cara your doing great! not long now" Zosia says as she looks back up at Cara and puts a pair of rubber gloves on.
"Push, push, push, push... that's it Cara one last big push and you'll be a Mummy" Zosia says and Jac seems pretty impressed with the junior doctor, Cara gives it her all she buries her chin into her chest as she pushes.
Raf kisses Cara on the head after he's wipes her sweat away and keeps her going, Cara gives all of her energy and gives one more big push "Here we go" Zosia says in amazement as she lifts Cara's daughter up and onto her chest.
Cara gives a cry of relief and looks down at her daughter, Raf looks down too, concern started to rise, she had just given birth but there was no cry...
