June 10th

The day started out like any other for Peter Parker, he would wake up at around 8AM went to the bathroom, peed, showered, change, and ate breakfast. This was the same routine Peter had had for the past six months, January saw him pulled out of in person classes and switched to remote classes online for all his schoolwork/exams and why you may ask, well Peter is transgender male, and currently three days away from his due date. Yep you read that right Peter Parker is pregnant.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, Peter fell pregnant at the beginning of the school year and only few people know these including his Aunt May, his best friends Ned and MJ, their parents, and his principle at school. Today was a Saturday which meant that May was work so Peter was currently home alone and probably would be for the next twelve hours but due to it being a Saturday, it meant that both Ned and MJ were coming over for a movie/Lego building day as they did not know how many of these they would have once Peter's baby arrived.

Peter had been experiencing Braxton hicks contractions steadily for the past week some days being worse than others and today peter felt would be a worse day however they were never close enough or regular enough to warrant going to the hospital this early on so Peter settles on the couch and turns on Brooklyn 99 to watch as he waited for Ned and MJ to arrive. Around an hour later Peter heard a knock at the door and checked the time on the cooker 11:13 around the time his friends would normally arrive, so he knew he was safe to answer the door.

"Hey guys, right on time come on in" Peter opened the door trying his best to stay behind it and out of sight from the hallway as much as possible

"Hey Peter, you look big, still in Pyjamas" MJ had never been great when it came to social interactions and so Peter and Ned knew that when she said something bluntly it wasn't her trying to be rude or hurt anyone's feeling it was just the way she was

"Yeah well he is due in like three days so it no surprise really" Ned retorted

"Yeah and well big Pyjamas are all that really fit at the moment soooo yeah... Anyways what movie do we want to watch"

As the trio were walking towards the living area of the apartment, Peter got a sudden contraction around his stomach causing him to have to brace himself on one of the dining chairs for a minute whilst waiting for it to pass.

"Pete, you okay man" Ned asked worriedly watching as Peter breathed heavily through the contraction

"Huh, yeah just a Braxton Hicks contraction, phewwwww they come and go but are never regular enough to go to the hospital. May says I have to wait for them to be every five minutes, lasting at least one minute for an hour, or my water breaking whichever comes first" Peter told his friends

"Are you sure, that seemed quite strong, you face looked quite pained" hearing worry come from MJ's voice sent a warm shiver through Peter

"Yeah I'm sure, trust me I've had worse over the past few days that was nothing, just took me by surprise.. anyways I vote Star Wars, Ned"

"Hell, yeah I vote Star Wars too and I brought a new Star Wars Lego set for us to do so it'll be perfect"

Once the Trio had settled in front of the TV, Ned and Peter got started on the Lego set and started to watch Star Wars, Ned and Peter having watched it so many times that they can follow along no matter the chatter and MJ didn't care enough so they more used the movie for background noise rather than anything else.

Over the next two hours, Peter were noticing that his contractions were starting to come a little closer together, lasting a little bit longer and stronger so he thought he would subtly start to time them on the app he downloaded onto his phone just in case, but he didn't feel he needed to call May or worry his friends just yet, he read that most first-time parents tended to deliver late so this was surly just his Braxton Hicks again right?

Lunch had gone and passed and Peter being pregnant got up to pee for what felt like the 100th time in the last hour alone but once he reached the bathroom, he felt a sudden pop like sensation in his lower abdomen and a gush of fluid running down his legs, Peter wasn't stupid he went to a science school, he knew what this was, his waters had just broken. As soon as his water broke he felt the strongest contraction he had had yet ripping across his stomach. He gasped out in pain using as much of his voice that he could find in that moment

"Neeeeeeeeeeeeeed"

upon hearing his name, Ned jumped up from where he was sat on the floor and rushed to the bathroom door "Peter what is it what's happening" from outside the door he could hear Peter moan in pain

"OH, gooooooooood I think it's happening" Peter shouted "My waters have broken and my contractions... My contractions are getting stronger, I need you to go into my room, grab a new pair of Pyjama pants, the mini suitcase and bag on top and bring them too me" by this point MJ had also joined Ned by the door and was coming out of Peter room with all the things he had just asked for passing the pants to Ned and moving the suitcase and diaper bag towards the door of the apartment ready.

As she did this Ned fished his phone out of his pocket and tried calling Peter's Aunt May however she didn't answer so Ned did the next best thing he could, he called his Mom who upon hearing the situation was in the Car and rushing towards Peter's apartment building.

Slowly, Peter managed to move and unlock the bathroom door allowing Ned to come in and help Peter change out of his wet pants into a pair on cleans ones and in between contractions, slowly lead from his bedroom out to the sofa.

"Someone, someone grab my phone before the next one... starts I need, I need to start timing them again" MJ passed Peter his phone and he unlocked it and pressed start as soon as he felt his next contraction start as if on que, as soon as Peter started to time his next contraction, there was a knock on his apartment door, and he could hear Mrs Leeds through the door.

As Ned was currently letting Peter grip onto one of his hands during his contraction, MJ went to answer the door letting Mrs Leeds in who came and sat on Peter's other side. One the contraction had subsided she was quick to suggest moving Peter down to the car to which everyone readily agreed too. So as Ned and Mrs Leeds each took one of Peter's arms and pulling him into a standing position MJ grabbed the bags needed and they headed down to where the car was parked.

The elevator in the apartment building was currently down for repair and so they had to take the stairs down. They hadn't even made it one flight down before Peter needed to stop and be lowered down as another contraction started, Mrs Leeds was worried at how close the contraction were becoming and as soon as the contraction ended she was quick to get Peter down the rest of the stairs and into the front seat of her car whist Ned and MJ put the bags into the trunk of the car. Luckily May and Peter had already put the car seat into her car ready a couple days before.

"How you doing sweetie?" Mrs Leeds asked Peter as she started the car and pulled out onto the streets of Queens. Mrs Leeds had always thought of Peter as a second some with the amount she used to look after him when he was younger and all the time he had spent round her house with Ned. It hurt her to see one of her babies in so much pain.

"Hurts" was the only reply Peter could think of in that moment. He had never felt a pain like it except maybe when he became Spider-Man was as vomiting non-stop for two days straight whilst his senses got used to all the new input

"I know sweetie. But luckily you didn't go into labour during rush hour so it should only take around ten minutes to get to the hospital okay? okay"

Ned being the best friend that he was was leaning forward so that whenever Peter got a contraction he could squeeze Ned's hand, but Peter had to be mindful of this as he didn't want to break Ned's hand. MJ had also taken over timing Peter's contractions which were now only one to two minutes apart. and was finally able to get a hold of May who was now waiting outside the entrance for their arrival.

Throughout the whole time Peter had known Mrs Leeds she was always a careful driver, never going above speed limits and watching for pedestrians but in that moment Peter had never seen anyone drive like the way she was. It was as if she had been a professional driver her whole life with the way she was getting around cars and getting through lights before they could even potentially change.

Peter breathed a sigh of relief as they turned to corner and hospital came into view he could see May outside the doors with a wheelchair waiting for them. Mrs Leeds pulled up next to where May was stood, and Ned helped Peter out of the car and into the wheelchair whist MJ got the bags from the Trunk and the three of them walked into the hospital whilst Mrs Leeds went and parked the car. Upon seeing Peter, one of the nurses rushed them straight through to an examination room, she was a friend of Mays and knew all about Peter's situation.

Once he was changed into a hospital gown and laying down on the bed, the OBGYN that had been with the Parkers since Peters first scan walked in.

"Well look who decided to come a little early" Dr Montgomery joked as she prepared to examine Peter. "How's the pain so far on a scale from one to ten?"

"Around an eight" Peter replied "I just want this to be over and to meet my baby"

"Well Peter, you don't have long to wait. You are already fully dilated and ready to start pushing. However only two people can be in the room with you, so you need to choose and everyone else needs to go into the waiting room"

"May and Ned, I want May and Ned"

Ned moved to stand by Peter's left side whist May stood on his right, as MJ was leaving more doctors and nurses came in to prepare all of the equipment ready for the birth

"Okay Peter on your next contraction, I need you to take a really big breath and push down as hard as you can okay? Ready... push"

On her instruction Peter pushed as hard as he physically could whist Dr Montgomery counted down from Ten. One she reached zero Peter leant back and started panting trying to get some oxygen into his lungs. Everything hurt, he didn't know if he could do this. This was the worst thing Peter had ever felt and he thought that cramps were bad. This was excruciating he had no pain relief, and he didn't know how long he was going to be doing it for.

Before he had a chance to voice how he was feeling, he was being told to push again, he could hear May and Ned talking to him, but he couldn't register anything other than what felt like a ring of fire as he felt like he was being split open from the inside.

"That's good Peter, Now one more push and the head will be out, okay, you can do this, okay now give me a really really big push"

Peter pushed, and pushed and pushed

"Okay the head is out, just relax for a minute okay and don't push yet."

"You're doing so well sweetheart, your baby is nearly here. I'm so so proud of you" May said kissing the top of Peter head.

"Okay Peter. Two more pushes and you will have your baby how does that sound" Dr Montgomery told him

"good"

"Okay ready, and push" Peter did two more pushed and he could feel the exact moment he became a father.

He could hear a startling cry of his baby and at the same time Dr Montgomery announced that it was a girl. He did it, he had a baby girl.

She was instantly placed into Peter's arms, and he could feel himself start to cry as he looked down as this perfect little human in his arms. He had done that, he had carried his perfect little girl and she was here, in his arms and he knew nothing was ever going to hurt his little girl, not as long as he was breathing

"Hi, baby, I'm your daddy. It's okay, It's okay" one of the midwives asked Ned if he wanted to cut the cord and Ned looked to Peter, as soon as he nodded, Ned took the scissors and cut the cord and he had never felt so happy, he may not have been this baby's father, but he was going to be the best uncle the world had ever seen.

One of the midwives came over to take the baby to get her cleaned up and do all the new born checks

"Go with her Ned, go with her and do not let her out of your sight, please" Peter asked Ned as he couldn't do it himself. Ned instantly followed his niece and watched as she got weighed and cleaned up ready to go back to Peter.

Whilst his baby was being cleaned up, Peter delivered the Placenta and got a couple of stiches from where he had torn slightly from birth but he knew he would be healed in a couple days thanks to his spidey powers so he wasn't overly worried, he was just glad they were dissolvable stitches and that he wouldn't have to come back to have them taken out.

Once the baby was all cleaned up, she was brought back over to Peter

"Congratulations, Peter you have a perfectly healthy, 19-inch 7lbs baby girl" the midwife told Peter as she placed the new born into his arms. Peter looked up to see his aunt May silently crying happy years as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and Ned was on his other side just holding one of his baby's hands and starting into her little features as if trying to memorise them for the rest of his life.

"Where are MJ and Mrs Leeds? are they allowed in yet?" Peter asked Dr Montgomery as she was getting ready to leave

"Of course, would you like me to send them in?" at this Peter nodded "Yes please, thank you Dr Montgomery"

"Would you like to hold your new niece Aunt May?" Peter asked looking up at his aunt. She was completely speechless and just nodded taking the little bundle from Peter's arm and into her own. As she was bouncing the baby slightly, the door opened and both Mrs Leeds and MJ walked into the room moving to stand next to Ned. Peter's baby was slowly passed around each person each one commenting on how perfect she looked and how loved she already was

"So, Peter so you have a name for the princess?" Asked Mrs Leeds as she placed the baby back into Peter's awaiting arms

Looking down at his daughter Peter announced that "Yeah, everyone I would like to introduce you to Isabella. Isabella Mary Parker, but we can call her Bella."
