Chapter 3
CONNIE'S P.O.V
"They can't have, your not due for another 3 weeks". Julie took my trembling hand.
"Don't you think I know that. Julie please don't freak out on me". I almost screamed through the sudden pain that had erupted.
"Ok, ok, first we need to call Guy then we have to go to the hospital". Julie reached for the phone. "Hang on what's his cell number"? She looked at me blank.
"I can't remember, just ring Adam's". I replied.
"Good idea". She dialled the number she knew off by heart and listened for the dialling tone. "There's no signal". She replied.
"There has to be, Guy can't miss this, I need him to be here, he's my birthing partner. I haven't got anything ready, my bag isn't packed, we've hardly bought any baby clothes". I began panicking.
"Shhhh". Julie tried calming me. "Guy will be here on time, and I'm here for the moment. What things do you need"? She asked as she rushed to the bedroom.
"I don't know". I wept. "Erm, some night clothes, the few baby clothes I've got, my toiletries and erm". I managed to say.
"The camera". Julie remerged holding a bag full of the things I'd just said. "Right, come on, lets get you to the hospital". She lead the way to where her car was parked around the corner of our building.
Julie sped through all the back streets she knew that would get us to the hospital, it was a bumpy ride but I was glad of the speed. In no time at all, Julie ran inside the maternity building and returned with a nurse and wheelchair. I was zoomed inside and put in a plain room with white wash walls. It was rather intimidating, Julie stayed with me throughout and I was soon hooked up to the monitor.
"Slowly going". Julie spoke calmly and softly as my contraction began ending. "You ok". She asked me when it had gone.
"I'm scared Jules". I shook my head.
"I know, I know, listen you hang tough for a few minutes, I'm just going to try ringing Adam again ok". She stepped away from me letting our hands drift apart.
She can't have been gone more than 3 minutes before she returned shaking her head gently then coming and taking my hand.
"He's going to miss it isn't he". I wept.
"No, no he isn't. It's 1pm they are just probably setting off and it takes about an hour, I'll try again in a few minutes".
Half an hour after, Julie had tried once more and still there was no answer, I was getting rather irritated and frightened by the minute. The doctor had yet to make an appearance, the nurses had been checking on my every 10-15 minutes to see how far dilated was an how far apart my contractions were.
"Right then Constance Germaine, I'm Doctor Crawley, let's see how your doing shall we". A middle aged man wandered in with a wide smile on his face.
"It's CONNIE". I growled through the contraction I was having. I always hated my full name and the way I was feeling right now made it much worse.
"Very sorry, CONNIE". He replied still as cheerful as ever. He checked the monitors and looked at Julie. "Well everything seems to be fine with the monitors, if we could just have a moment alone".
"Sure, I'll go try ringing the guy's again. I'll be right back". Julie squeezed my hand then left.
JULIE'S P.O.V
I left Connie with the doctor checking her over and headed over to the pay phone I had already used 3 times during the time I'd been here. To be perfectly honest I was scared for Connie, she needed and wanted Guy and nothing I could do would replace the feeling of reassurance that would appear with him.
I dialled the number I knew like the back of my hand and listened in the ear phone. It started ringing, I almost screamed with relief as it did so, at least this was a sign they were on the way back.
"Hello". Came a muffled response.
"Adam, Adam it's Julie". I almost yelled in anticipation.
"Jules"?
"Yeah, where are you"?
"We're about 30 minutes away, why"?
"Tell Portman to put his foot down, Connie's gone into labour, keep Guy calm, everything's going smoothly ok, but he has to get here on time". I talked quickly.
"Connie's gone into labour"! He repeated.
"YES". I yelled hearing Guy shout something that sounded like 'Oh my God'. "Just get here as soon as you can". I continued then put the phone down, returning to Connie and telling hr that Guy was on the way.
GUY'S P.O.V
We had set off from our campsite about 20 minutes ago and the roads were pretty clear. I hadn't stopped worrying about Connie all weekend but each time I had rung both girls assured me they were fine and I had actually managed to have a pretty good weekend. We were all sat in the rear of Portman's van laughing at Charlie's failed attempts to beat Fulton in a thumb war and Averman and Dwayne pretending to sing Olivia Newton John and John Travolta's duet in the end of Grease. Suddenly Adam's phone started ringing and my heart stopped for a few beats.
"Hello"? He asked into the phone. "Jules"? Right that was it my worst nightmare was possibly coming true. "We're about 30 minutes away, why"? He asked and I could only hear a very muffled response. "Connie's gone into labour"! He said into the phone.
"OH MY GOD". I shouted. Adam put the phone down and found us all looking at him except Portman's who's eyes were firmly fixed on the road.
"Portman put your foot down". Adam told him.
"Already doing so". Portman replied. I immediately felt the van speed up and saw cars fly past us.
"I knew something like this would happen, I just knew it". I started talking to myself shaking my head.
"Guy, she's fine, Julie's with her and you'll get there in time". Adam started calming me.
"Yeah Guy, She'll be hanging in there waiting for you, you know how stubborn she is". Averman tried but his words weren't very helpful at the moment, in fact it wasn't just Averman's words, it was everyone's.
CONNIE'S P.O.V
"JULIE". I screamed through a contraction, they were getting more painful and a lot more closer.
"I'm right here sweetie". I gripped her hand tight. Julie had returned about 10 minutes ago with news about the guys, at this very moment in time I didn't think I'd be able to hold on in time for Guy to get here. My contractions were getting closer and closer and the last time I was checked I was about 7cm dilated.
"I am so gonna kill Guy for putting me through this". I puffed and panted.
"Just keep thinking thoughts like that". Julie giggled and I realised how silly it sounded.
Over the next 10 minutes that were to follow, the doctor stayed in the room, checking everything constantly, eventually he turned to Julie and through her some scrubs then he looked sincerely at me.
"Connie, I'm afraid the baby has started showing signs of stress, we have to get you to delivery where we may have to do an emergency caesarean".
"No, we can't, Guy isn't here yet". I yelped looking straight at Julie who no longer looked calm and confident, tears slid down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry but if we don't hurry, you could lose the baby". He answered then walked briskly out.
"It's ok Connie, I'm right here, nothings gonna happen". She gripped my hand and tried to be confident for me but her tears were betraying her acting.
Within seconds 2 nurses and the doctor returned and began wheeling me down the corridors with Julie running still gripping my hand tightly and clutching the scrubs ready to pull them on once inside the delivery room.
OHH looks like Guy's not gonna make it!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!!
