Eight months later (9th month of the pregnancy)
We had returned from our trip and we had a really good time. I could barely see my feet because my tummy was huge. I constantly ran my hand over the bump and I recalled when I had first seen and felt the baby bump. It was a very clear morning and the sun had shone in on the house. I woke up and put my hand on my tummy as usual now that I was pregnant and I then noticed something slightly different: I felt an actual bump. "Vent! Vent! Wake up baby!" I cried smiling. "W-What is i-it?" Vent said sleepily. "Feel this!" I said, placing his hand on my tummy. "Oh my gosh love! Would you look at that? It's a bump! It's an actual baby bump Bri!" Vent said, the joy proudly beaming through his eyes. I smiled and gave Vent a hug. My mind then went to the first time I had felt him move. I suddenly felt as if I had a bit of gentle commotion going on inside me. I then realized that it was him moving. At that point, I teared up smiling and said "Hi little blessing." I then woke up Vent and he felt him move too. "Hi sweetie." He said to the baby. I beamed and smiled at him. I realized that I was dreaming those events and I had my hand on the bump again. I suddenly felt a gush of fluid on me. "Oh!" I squeaked jolting awake. "Honey! Vent baby, wake up. It's time!" I said, waking Vent up. "Darling, what's wrong? Why is the bed so wet?" Vent asked me. "Baby, it's time. I'm in labor!" I said. "You're in labor?" Vent asked me. "Yes. I'm in labor!" I replied. "Kris, Rox, Damien, Tyler!'' Vent yelled. They all came running. "What's wrong?" Kris asked. "It's time!" Vent said. "Oh my goodness! Bri's in labor!" Rox exclaimed. "We need to get her to the hospital." Damien said calmly. "Ow!" I yelled in pain, hoping someone would notice and get me in the car. "Alright, I'll get Bri in the car guys. Just grab the bags!" Vent said. Everyone did as Vent said and then we were on our way to the hospital. Vent got pulled over for speeding. "Excuse me sir, but you're speeding. You were going 65 in a 40 lane." The officer said. "I'm sorry officer, you see, my wife is in labor and it's kind of an emergency." Vent replied. "Oh. My apologies, go ahead and congratulations on your baby." The officer replied. "Thank you so much." Vent said, driving off. We finally, after what seemed like forever, reached the hospital. Vent took me out of the car and Kris agreed to go park it with everyone else. Meanwhile, we went through the very long check in process. "Has her water broken?" Nurse Jessie, as she later identified herself as, asked. "Yes." Vent said. "Dr. Fran Johnson to Obstetrics code 546. Dr. Fran Johnson to Obstetrics code 546." Nurse Jessie said. About 10 seconds later, Dr. Johnson showed up. "Well hi there!" She greeted us in a New York accent. "Okay so I heard that you're having a baby as of right now. I'm just going to give you a check up and see if baby's going to be here tonight okay Bri? Oh and by the way, you can call me Dr. Fran. And is this dad over here?" Dr. Johnson said. "Alright and yes, this is my husband Vent." I said, trying not to think about the pain. "Okay Bri, you're at about 7.5 cm right now. You're able to go up to Labor and Delivery to deliver the baby. I will warn you though, that you have maybe about 2.5-3 cm left before you can push okay?" Dr. Fran said. "Alright then." I said. I then was transported to Labor and Delivery and everyone came into my room but Vent was right beside me rubbing my back. "Baby, you're doing a very good job. Keep it up." Vent encouraged. The three hours that it took for me to dilate fully were very exhausting. Finally I heard the words, "Bri, good news! You're able to push now." Dr. Fran said. "Finally!" I replied smiling and hearing a laugh in response. We then got me set up and Vent was right by me. Okay Bri, you only push when you feel a contraction. Remember ONLY with contractions okay? Otherwise, you could hurt the baby alright?" Dr. Fran told me. "You can do this Bri." Kris said. "Thanks Kris. I appreciate you." I replied smiling. "Alright Bri, whenever you're ready, push as hard as you can!" Dr. Fran said. I felt ready and then I pushed so hard that my face turned a full shade of red. "Good job baby!" Vent said. Rox placed a cool washcloth on my forehead and rubbed my back. Damien and Tyler rubbed my head. "Okay Bri, push girl! You can do this!" Dr. Fran said smiling at me. I pushed again and then rested. "Ow!" I yelled. I then calmed down when Vent kissed my forehead. I pushed again. " Wonderful Bri! You're a true trooper!" Vent said. I beared down again and then took a rest after a while. "Good job Bri!" Kris said. "Very good job!" Rox said. All of these comments made me push tons better. I bore down again and then had to rest. "Good job Bri! I know it hurts and you're doing great. You delivered the baby's head so we only have a little bit left!" Fran said. I smiled. "Keep it up love!" Vent said, rubbing my hair. I pushed again and then felt a little bit of pain. I didn't care. "Okay Bri, one more push and that should do it." Dr. Fran said. I felt exhausted and wanted to rest, but I had enough strength to push one more time. I beared down again and I suddenly heard a baby cry. "It's a little boy." Fran said as she placed Miguhele on my chest smiling. I teared up. "Oh my gosh! Hi precious little blessing." I said in awe at him. "Hey little buddy!" Vent said also tearing up. Dr. Fran waited a little bit and then weighed Miguehle. "He's 7 pounds 15.5 ounces and he is 22.5 inches long. He was born at 1:45 AM." Dr. Fran said. I smiled and forgot about every piece of the pain and hurt and only felt the happiness that was my baby. After Miguehle was taken back for the procedure that occurs with newborns and I was fixed up, I was given him. I nursed him and the whole time, touching him. "Your name is Miguehle Henrey Leuke Lorde." I said to him. "Uh Bri, how exactly do you pronounce his names?" Vent asked me. "Okay, his first name is pronounced Miguel, his middle names are pronounced Henry Luke." I replied smiling and giggling knowing that I had cleared that for everyone. Kris and Rox along with Damien and Tyler looked at me and Vent and beamed. I let everyone hold Miguehle as I napped and then he at some point was placed in his crib right next to me. As I slept, I felt a whole new feeling that I had never felt before and that was motherhood.
