Chapter 17
Sara was nearing her due day. The doctor had instructed her to stay at the hospital a night before it so that she could monitor her.
"Why can't I just stay here when I'm due?" asked Sara. She was in the hospital annoyed to death.
"So you won't have to deliver in a car in the middle of a traffic jam," said Greg. Sara just sighed, defeated.
"Sara, why don't you go get some rest, you're gonna need a lot of energy," said Nick.
"But I'm not tired."
"Just close your eyes, relax, do you want anything?" asked Nick.
"No, I'll just watch some TV," said Sara flipping through the channels.
"Okay."
About 15 minutes later, the remote control fell off Sara's hand and she was peacefully sleeping. Nick placed a blanket over her and went out of the room with Greg.
"So much for 'I'm not tired'," said Greg. Nick just chuckled.
"Hey, you don't have to stay here, I can look after her, besides you have work tonight, right?" asked Nick.
"Yeah, but are you sure?" asked Greg.
"Positive."
"Okay if anything comes up call me immediately."
"Sure."
Greg left the hospital to get some sleep before work while Nick went back into the room and sat on the couch. He just stared at the sleeping Sara and just smiled because he thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on and the fact that she was having their daughter made him love her even more but he just couldn't express it to her.
Few hours later, Sara woke up feeling refreshed and less grumpy.
"Nick was right, I needed that sleep," thought Sara. But she will never admit that to him. She could not wait for the baby to come out so that the searing pain will stop but mostly she wanted to see the daughter she had grown to love. She looked around and saw Nick was sleeping on the couch and she studied him, just like what he did to her. She really loved the man on that couch but there was this part of her that kept her from revealing her true feelings because she thought she owed something with Greg.
She was lazy to get up but her daughter was stepping on her bladder so she went to the bathroom.
Nick slowly stirred from his sleep because he heard Sara entering the bathroom. He had almost fallen asleep again but was disturbed by Sara's cry of pain. She was a t doorway holding her stomach.
"Nick, I think my water just broke," said Sara.
Nick quickly got up and helped her to the bed.
"I'll be right back, hold on," said Nick. He too was sweating like a pig. Sara just nodded. Few minutes later a doctor and a few nurses came into the room. During that time Nick already called Greg who was very frantic when he heard the news.
"Miss Sidle's contraction is very fast and I think she has to deliver now," informed the doctor.
"Okay, just make sure she's okay," said Nick.
"You can come in if you want but you have to wash up first."
"I want to come in," said Nick eagerly.
"Follow me."
After Nick washed up and wore the blue scrubs, he entered the delivery room to see Sara sweating and writhing in pain. Nick took her hand in his and brushed off the sweat that covered her forehead.
"You're doing great, Sara, come on for our child," whispered Nick into Sara's ear. Sara gave a push and cried out.
"Okay, we have the head," said the doctor. A smile formed on Nick's face.
"You hear that? Just a little more, you're doing fabulous," encouraged Nick.
Sara gave one more push and the shoulder came out.
"Okay, Sara, we just need one more push and you can see your beautiful daughter," said the doctor.
Sara gave one more long push and she gripped Nick's hand so hard he could hear the bone crackling. Nick just bear with it.
"Great job, Sara," said Nick despite the pain.
Finally the baby came out. The shrill of her cries made Nick feel like jumping six feet in the air.
"Would you like to do the honors?" asked the doctor indicating Nick to cut the umbilical cord. Nick was more than happy to do it. Then the nurse wrapped the baby in a blanket and gave her to Nick. Nick held that bundle of joy and smiled down at her. He gave her to Sara and she could not help but let a few tears fell down her face. All of the pain and soreness just disappeared when Sara saw her daughter's little face. Both Nick and Sara knew their lives could never be the same again with this life in their lives.
