Hello hello!! Next chapter for all you beautiful people! woohooo
Chapter 5:
Ever since Kate and Jack had brought the group up to the horse's life and become
a lot easier. They could make trips from the fresh water and back to the beach in less
time, run from predators much quicker, and they now had something to do. While
everyone was still searching for things they had things to do in the meantime which made
the days go by a lot faster. They had found cows a few miles north of the horses, so they
now had milk, and beef. But things where still hard, they constantly had to go out
hunting, and were always at risk from the creature. Claire's due date was getting closer
and closer, which had everyone a little bit jumpy.
"Claire when exactly is your due date?" Jack asked kneeling down beside her.
"um, the second of November"
"It's already November 1st, I don't think well we off here in time, there's a good
chance I'll have to deliver the baby, you okay with that?"
"Yeah, I actually wanted to talk to talk to you about that…"
"Okay what's up?"
"Well I don't really want everyone to be here when my baby is born…"
"Well, actually we thought of that, so there's a spot a bit up the beach you can
go."
"Really? You guys did that?"
"Yeah…Michael was concerned about Walt seeing a baby being born at such a
such age."
"Okay, yeah, that makes sense."
"We should head up as soon as we can, we won't able to get there after you go
into labour."
Jack and Claire had been in the hut for two days now, and they were sure it was
going to be any day now. Claire panted, waving her journal as a fan.
"Hey Jack, can I talk to you for a second?" Kate asked poking her head in the
tent.
"Yeah, sure. I'll be right back." He said to Claire, she nodded. "Hey what's up?"
He asked after stepping outside.
"Um, Walt he someone cut his arm open, really deep, they are trying to get it to
stop bleeding to we need your help.
"Okay, uh, can you stay with Claire?" Kate nodded "Call me if anything
happens."
"Okay I will, know go!" Kate started to push him away.
"I'm going." He said before turning and walking away. Kate walked into the hut,
smiling at Claire.
"Hey where's Jack?"
"Um, he had to go do something, he'll be right back."
"Oh okay."
"What could be taking Jack so long, it's been a really long time." Claire wondered
out loud.
"I don't know…"
"What happened anyways?"
"I'm not exactly sure, but Walt somehow hurt his arm…"
"Oh, I see, I hope he's alright."
"Yeah, me to." Claire suddenly, half sat up, grabbing onto her stomach.
"Oh my gosh…" she trailed taking a deep breath. Kate's head snapped up,
"You okay?" Claire grabbed onto Kate's hand, squeezing it as she closed her
eyes. Kate looked at Claire, preparing herself for what she knew was about to happen.
"I'm okay now." Claire breathed, letting go of Kate's hand and rubbed her
stomach, it was time.
"I'll call Jack." Claire nodded, as Kate went outside "JACK!" She yelled at the
top of her lungs a few times. Jack looked up, noticing his signal, but it would take a while
for him to get here. Claire started to groan again, Kate hurried back inside
"Take big deep breaths." She told her kneeling down by her. Kate held onto
Claire's hand, using her free one to poor some water on a wet cloth. Claire let out a
groan; it was getting to the hardest part of the contraction. "Fast short breaths" Kate
instructed, putting the damp clothe on her face.
"Where's Jack?" Claire asked between breaths.
"He'll be here soon."
"Can you go look where he is?" She breathed as the contraction ended.
"Yeah, sure. Call if you have another contraction." Claire nodded through the
drops of sweat. Kate walked out of the tent, bumping into Jack.
"Hey how is she?" He asked.
"Contractions are about 5 minutes apart, dilated about 4 centimetres."
"Okay good…." Jack took a deep breath.
"Jack have you ever delivered a baby before?"
"No, I haven't Kate."
"Jack, I can do it…"
"You've delivered a baby before?" He questioned.
"Yes, well mostly, it's a long story, I'll explain later…right now we need to get
back to Claire. Do you want me to do it or not?"
Kate sat down at Claire's feet, while Jack was behind her, pressing a wet clothe
on her face.
"Jack, go behind her to hold her up. Claire I'm going to need you to hold up your
legs, with your hands. It will help." They nodded following Kate's instructions. Jack got
another wet clothe before holding her up. "Okay Claire, I'm going to need you to push
now, as hard as you can." Claire nodded, pushing with all her might.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was over. Kate handed Claire the newborn
baby boy.
"Claire, Charlie is here. Do you want to see him?" Claire nodded as
Charlie came into the tent, a grin on his face.
"How yeah doing love?" He asked kneeling down beside her. Kate and Jack
stepped outside.
"I'm great…" He grinned holding the baby boy in her arms.
"Here, I brought you this." He said handing her a bag full of clothes and other
things she would need as a new mother now.
"Thank you Charlie." She smiled.
"So what are you going to name him?"
"You were great in there." Jack complimented.
"Thanks." Kate grinned as they walked along the beach.
"So are you going to tell me how you know how to deliver babies?"
"Well…"
Flashback:
Kate hurried into the kitchen. She had heard screaming, but from where she
wasn't sure. There as know one in the kitchen, so she hurried onto the living room. There
she found her mother, sitting on the couch, moaning in pain. Kate glanced at her mother's
large stomach; the time had come.
"Oh, Katie, I'm glad you're here, can you go get your father?"
"Dad's couldn't get home because of the snow storm…" She reminded pointed to
the window.
"Well then can you phone him at work, and phone an ambulance." Kate nodded.
This was not happening now, she knew there was know way the ambulance could get
here. But she phoned anyways, after phoning her father anyways. She told the people on
the other side of the line her address,
"Okay umm…"
"Kate."
"Okay, Kate, I know your young but your mom cant do this alone and we don't
know how long it will take us to get there. So we need you to stay on the line.
"Okay."
"Can you time the contractions?"
"Sure…" And so the night went on, the paramedic coaching Kate to coach her
mom, just like she had coached Claire. By the time the ambulance was there it was
almost time for the baby to come. Kate only left her mom momentarily to open the door.
"We don't have time to get her to the hospital." The paramedic explained.
"Are you the only one here?"
"Yeah, there's a lot of accidents in the city, all our other men were out working,
so I'm going to need your help."
"Okay, what to I need to do?" She asked, turning her at her mother screaming.
"Go behind her, link your arms through hers, to hold her up. Can you do that?"
"Yeah, sure." Kate did was she was told, then the paramedic told her mom what
to do.
"On the count of three I need you to push, Kate just before I say 3 push your mom
forward just a tiny bit, and don't let her go, Maria don't stop pushing, we have to stay
focussed. " Kate nodded "1, 2,3!" Just as everything was happening, Kate's dad ran into
the room. Maria held out her hand, witch her took. Soon the room was filled with the
sound of cries.
End Flashback.
"Sounds like a lot happened that night."
"Yeah I did."
"How old were you then?"
"I was 16 I think."
"We should check on Claire."
"Yeah." Silently they headed back to the small hut.
"How are you doing?" Kate asked Claire.
"I'm doing good, I think."
"What are you going to name him?"
"I was thinking Andrew, Drew for short." She told her. "So, I can't exactly walk
right now, so I'm bored so while I'm waiting to go back to camp, can I do your chart?"
"You just had a baby, and you want to do my chart?" Claire shrugged.
"I love what I love, besides he's sleeping right now. Please." Kate rolled her eyes.
"Fine, whatever do it." She gave in handing Claire her hands.
