Jeff took off down the road. He arrived at the hospital a half hour later,
there was a lot of traffic. He signed in at the front desk and took a seat
in the waiting room. He was soon joined by Amy. "Hey" she said poking her
head out from the delivery room. "Come on in", she said opening the door
further. "Uh, no thanks" he replied quickly. Amy shook her head and laughed
"No, no, she's not in labour now ,Jeff "she said, as Jeff rose to his feet.
He joined her in the room, Stacy looked as if she was really tired and she
was sweating. "Hi" she said weakly. Jeff looked concerned. "You doing
alright?" he asked sympathetically. Stacy shook her head yes and closed her
eyes. "She's just been going through a lot of contractions recently Jeff"
Amy explained. Jeff shook his head yes, even though he had no idea what Amy
just meant by that. Stacy spoke up "They said it was probably be a quick
delivery, about 12 hours or so" She said. "Twelve hours!?" Jeff boomed.
"That's a quick delivery?" he asked. "Better than most Jeffery, a lot of
girls I know went through about 20 hours!" Stacy replied. Jeff nodded his
head in surprise. Stacy laid her head back down on her pillow and breathed
hard. "You want an epidural now?" Amy asked sounding concerned. Stacy
opened her eyes. "No, not yet" she mumbled. Jeff started backing up, "You
guys want me to leave?" He asked heading towards the door. "Not really"
Stacy said. Jeff turned back around. "Oh, okay" he said. Jeff stood next to
her for a while and talked before she had a massive contraction and grabbed
Jeffs arm hard. "Oww!" Jeff yelled. Her grip tightened. "Okay let go!" he
yelled again. She didn't realise what she was doing and loosened her grip,
he broke his arm free. "Holy shit, Stace" he began "You might want to trim
your nails" he said looking at the imprints etched across his arm. "Okay I
want the epidural now" Stacy boomed as Amy called the doctor, "Okay I'm
gonna leave now" Jeff said running out the door. Stacy hadn't even began
literally having the baby, and he was already freaking out.
He picked up a sports magazine in the waiting room and read up on the Hurricanes. A few hours passed when Amy came out of the room. "Has she had the baby yet?" Jeff asked standing up. Amy laughed "Hell no she isn't even pushing yet, she's asleep" Jeff nodded his head and he and Amy sat back down. There was an awkward silence, before Amy said. "Have you ever wanted to have kids?" she glared over at him. "Kids?" he asked. "Uh, Yeah. Someday, why?" She paused. "Well I was just thinking about it last night, thats all." She shrugged. Another awkward silence. "When?" Jeff asked. "What?" Amy replied. "When do you want to have kids?" he asked. She paused "I don't know, maybe this year and-" Jeff cut her off. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, THIS YEAR?!" he asked. Amy slowly nodded her head and got up from her seat. "Maybe this isn't really the time to talk about it". She said. "No, I want to talk about it now" Jeff said sternly. She hesitated before sitting back down. "I've always wanted a baby, and I know this sounds soon, like 10 months into the marriage but still." she trailed off. "Yeah a bit early" Jeff replied. "Ames don't take this personally, I want to have kids with you, and all. But this is too soon for me" Jeff said. Amy looked down and nodded her head. "Yeah, probably" she said standing back up." Look I'm going to go check on Stacy, Ill see you later" She said walking back into the room and closing the door.
Stacy starting going into actual labour about 20 minutes later. Jeff could hear her scream once or twice every ten minutes or so, which would send shivers up his spine. He hated that, he sat silently until heard a baby scream out. He stood up, waiting for Amy to come out. She rushed out 5 minutes later. "Its a boy" She smiled. Jeff hugged her. "You can go look at him if you want, he's in the newborn section" Amy said pointing down the hall. Jeff nodded and walked towards the large window. He looked among the tiny babies, until he saw Stacy's last name on a card. It read Devin Matthew Carter. Jeff smiled, she named him after Matt. The small baby squirmed and cried out with his little hands in the air. Jeff smiled as Amy came up behind him and rested her head on his shoulder. "Isn't he cute?" she smiled. Jeff nodded "Yeah." He knew at that moment, he did in fact want to have kids with Amy.
