All I Wanted
Chapter 35
Author's Note : The long awaited birth of the Scott we reach the ending of this story. I truly want to thank you all for the out for the final chapter. It will take place years into the future. Review!
When my water broke i was in bed. It was only Lucas and I in the house. In preparation for this happening. Angie has been staying with our family. Going between Naley's house and Peyton and Jake's. With the occasional stay at Rachel and Mouth's.
Once the babies were born and everything was done. She would be brought to the hospital to meet her siblings.
"Lucas! The babies are coming!" I announced. Trying to remember what i learned in birthing class.
Lucas practically fell out of bed. He focused his gaze on me and helped me out of our room and down the stairs.
Mind you this was taking place in the middle of the night so he was wearing pajamas. So was I.
With the overnight bag packed in the car and the car seats secured.
Lucas made sure i was comfortable and relaxed before he started driving. His grip on the steering wheel tightened as he sped down the otherwise dark empty road.
Once we got to the hospital. Lucas bursted through the doors. Demanding a wheelchair and repeating that his wife was in labor.
A nurse wheeled over a wheelchair and got me seated.
Lucas didn't want to leave my side but had to. In order to get the items we needed from the car.
By the time he returned i was being taken into labor and delivery.
Having our doctor there that had been with us throughout the pregnancy was a huge comfort.
The delivery room was bright with light. Had two cots on the side. And various tools and instruments.
Once i was seated and changed into a hospital gown. Lucas was given scrubs to change into. Lucas rubbed my back. We tool a walk around the private room he I was asked about if i wanted an epidural.
I answered yes to that. And was given it. I clutched Lucas close to me as the needle was inserted into my back. Which turned out to be the smart decision because in a matter of hours. The mild pain i was in shifted.
...
Hours Later
Active Labor
I tried to remember what the steps are for this part of the process. The contractions were becoming more intense by the minute. I was wiping the sweat off her face. And feeding her ice chips. Making sure the focus object was close by. A Raven necklace. It's supposed to bring good luck. I gifted it to her after finding out the genders of the babies.
I attempt to be a calming presence but also a strong support system. I was nervous and unsure and hid that well.
"I can't do this! What was i thinking!"
"I'm not ready for this!"
" This all you're fault! If you weren't so good looking and i wouldn't be her!" Brooke multiple strong contractions ripped through her.
She threw the cup of ice at the wall.
"I'm thirsty. I'm exhausted! I change my mind! I'm going home!" Brooke yelled as she fell back against the hospital bed.
"You are now 10 centimeters dilated. It's time to meet these babies.!" Doctor announced.
Brooke gripped onto Lucas. Tighter then she ever had before.
Brooke barred down and pushed. Only taking short breaths in between.
"I'm going to ruin them.! Just like Victoria did with me!" Brooke confessed.
Lucas locked eyes with her as he spoke.
"I can't even describe how in love with you i am. You're the best mom. Angie could ask for. With these two it will be the same way. You'll see. I'm going to right by you're side. Like i am right now. We're doing this together." Lucas proclaimed.
Brooke took a deep breath. And nodded her head in agreement.
When the announcement of the baby's head being visible happened.
"You're doing it. Making our family complete. I love you so much." Lucas whispered in her ear.
Tears fell from eyes as Brooke used all the strength she had left to push out both babies.
She laid back on the bed. And reopened her eyes.
As loud cries filled the room.
"Baby A and Baby B are strong and healthy." The doctor announced.
Lucas felt tears fall from his eyes. As he leaned over kissing his wife gently.
The babies were cleaned off and handed to Brooke.
Lucas snapped a photo of the three of them.
His heart swelling at the sight of the tiny infants. One wearing a blue hat the other pink.
"He looks like me. But she is all you." Brooke gushed.
