Chapter 30: 38 Weeks
Sydney's stomach was the size of a giant watermelon. She could hardly walk anymore and spent most of her time staggering about the place. She was experiencing all the signs of pregnancy, back ache, heartburn, pains around her hips and more. Sydney staggered over to the cupboard and got herself some fruit for breakfast. Vaughn was still asleep in the bedroom and hadn't stirred for about an hour. She set the plate of food on the kitchen and began to eat the fruit. Just then the bedroom door opened and a sleepy Vaughn emerged.
"Hey Michael." Sydney said, walking over and kissing him on the lips.
"Hey honey. How are you?" he asked her.
"I'm good. Do you want any breakfast?"
"Sure. I'll get some." Vaughn offered.
"No that's okay. I can do it."
Sydney rose from her chair and went to find Vaughn some breakfast.
"So what do you want to do today?" Sydney asked him.
"I'm not sure. I don't want you to do to much. You could go into labour any day now."
"Michael stop stressing out. When it happens it happens. You can't wrap me up in cotton wall. I'll be fine." Sydney replied.
"If you say so Syd." Vaughn said, though a little unsure.
"Why don't we go to that new butterfly park that opened last week." Sydney suggested.
"That sounds great!" Vaughn replied, smiling. "I'll go get changed and then we can go, okay?"
"Sure." Sydney replied.
Sydney and Vaughn made it to the butterfly gardens. It was quite a hot day and the butterflies were flying around everywhere. They entered the gardens and went into a huge greenhouse where all the butterflies were fluttering around. There were butterflies all colours of the rainbow. Sydney took Vaughn's hand and led him about the place, looking at the different butterflies that were there.
"That blue butterfly is amazing!" Sydney cried.
The butterfly flew over and began to drink nectar from a pot on a tree.
"The blue colour is so vibrant." Vaughn said.
"Yeah it's a lovely colour." Sydney smiled.
"When the baby's born we'll have to take it here to show it all the colourful butterflies. It would love that."
"Yeah." Sydney replied, thinking.
"Let's go over there." Vaughn tugged on Sydney's hand and they went over to look at some more butterflies.
"Look at that yellow one." Vaughn pointed. The butterfly was lying on the ground.
"What's happened to it?" Sydney asked.
"I think it's just hatched and hasn't passed its flying test yet!"
Sydney burst out laughing and soon Vaughn joined in. Sydney bent down and helped the butterfly onto a leaf.
"There you go little butterfly." She smiled at it before walking away.
"These butterflies are great, Syd." Vaughn said.
"I agree. I love them."
Vaughn lead Sydney over to a bench where they sat down and cuddled.
"It was so nice to come here today." Sydney said.
"Yeah it was. I shouldn't have been so worried about you coming out. You seem to be okay. Maybe the baby won't be born for a few days yet or even another week."
"Maybe but I want to become Mum now. I wish the baby would be born soon. I hate being pregnant." Sydney replied.
"Do you want to go home now or shall we look around some more?" Vaughn asked her.
"Lets go home. I can sleep whilst you go and have a run if you want."
"That sounds great."
Vaughn and Sydney walked back to the car and made their way home.
Whilst Vaughn went out for a run Sydney decided to have a sleep. She made her way to the bedroom to lie down when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She ignored it and went to flick on the light. It wasn't working. Damn she thought to herself. She went and retrieved a tall ladder so she could change the light bulb. She positioned it in the middle of the room and climbed up grabbing hold of the old light bulb. As she stood there another wave of pain ripped through her stomach and she gasped in pain, suddenly loosing her balance and falling. She landed hard on the ground and lost consciousness immediately. Suddenly the door opened and Vaughn stepped in room from his run he made his way to the bedroom where he found Sydney unconscious on the floor. He noticed water around her. Her water had broken and she was going into labour.
"Syd wake up! Syd!" He called to her, stoking her face.
Sydney stirred groaning.
"Syd what were you doing?" He asked.
Sydney groaned and tried to sit up but Vaughn forced her back down.
"I was trying to change a light bulb…oh god! Oh god! I'm going into labour."
"Syd I'm going to call an ambulance to get you to hospital. Okay?"
Sydney nodded "Just hurry will you!" She shouted.
Soon an ambulance pulled up outside and two paramedics came inside.
"Where's the casualty." One asked Vaughn who was standing in the doorway.
"This way." He showed them to where Sydney was.
"Hi I'm Sam and this is Darren." The first paramedic said. "What happened?"
Sydney groaned "I tried to change a light bulb, fell and hit my head. Then I went into labour."
"Okay how many weeks are you?" He asked her.
"38 weeks. The baby wasn't meant to come for a few more days."
"Okay lets get you to hospital where they can sort you out, okay?"
Sydney nodded and cried "Just get this baby out of me!"
"What have we got?" the Doctor asked as Sydney was wheeled through the hospital.
"Female approximately 32 years old. Fell and lost consciousness. She started to go into labour at the scene."
"How long was she unconsciousness for?" the Doctor asked.
"Not sure. She seems alert and responsive." the paramedic replied.
"Good. Let's get her to maternity."
Sydney was wheeled into the maternity ward and told to get onto a bed. After an examination by the Doctor Sydney started to have contractions again.
"Your contractions are five minutes apart. Looks like you're having this baby today, Mrs Vaughn."
Sydney's eyes filled with joyful tears.
"This is it honey." Vaughn said as he griped hold of Sydney's hand.
"Mrs Vaughn you'll have to start pushing in a moment, alright?"
"I'll be ready. I just hope this baby of ours is ready to come out."
Sydney had sweat dripping down her face as another contraction hit her. The doctor walked in and checked Sydney's vital signs which were good.
"I'm afraid you'll have to start pushing now. I think this baby wants to come out."
Sydney began to push. She gripped hold of Vaughn's hand, groaning in pain. Vaughn smiled at her.
"Hey Michael quiet smiling. This is hell down here!" Sydney shouted.
"Sorry." Vaughn replied. Sydney's hormones were up again.
"I can see the head now." The Doctor said.
Sydney pushed some more and suddenly she the sound of a baby's cry filled the air. Sydney sagged back against her pillows and let out a huge sigh.
"It's a baby girl." The Doctor announced "Congratulations both of you!"
The Doctor wrapped the baby in a shall and handed it to Sydney. Sydney was crying with joyful tears.
"Look at her Vaughn." She said "Isn't she beautiful."
"She's perfect Sydney. I love you."
"I love you too." Sydney replied.
"Have you chosen a name for her?" The Doctor asked.
Sydney looked at Vaughn.
"Yes we have." Vaughn said "Her name is Madi Alice Vaughn."
Sydney looked down at the baby and smiled, showing off her dimples "Welcome to the world Madi Alice Vaughn."
