Drake and I were asleep in the hotel bed when my stomach began to hurt it felt like I had a cramp.
"Baby… Drake…" I shook his trying to get him to wake up. He opened one eye and petted my head.
"What's wrong baby?" He asked closing his eyes once again.
"My stomach hurt." Drake did have to hear anything else he jumped out of bed.
"The babies coming where not home, your doctors not here."
"Drake relax I don't know what it is."
"What does it feel like?" He asked anxiously.
"It feels like a cramp." I said rubbing my belly
"Well what does having a baby feel like?" Drake said putting his hand on my stomach.
"Drake I don't know this is my first time doing this."
"Well you're a girl isn't an alarm clock supposed to go off or something?"
"What? Drake just go back to bed it passed. It was probably all the tomatoes sauce I ate tonight."
"You woke me up because you had gas." Drake rolled his eyes and buried himself under the blankets.
"I did not have gas! It was just a cramp. I'm gonna walk down to the vending machine for a minute. I was a snickers or something." I put my robe on a walked out of the room.
"Don't go too far I don't want you having this baby in the hallway of a Hilton. It would be a funny story though." I slammed the door before he could say anything else.
I walked down the hallway I could feel the cramps coming on again…Shit it's not cramps its contractions! I was only a few feet away from the room. But I couldn't walk it felt like someone had taken my insides and twisted them.
"Drake!" I screamed.
Drake ran out of the room in only his boxers. "What's wrong?"
"This babies coming! Owe… Owe…" Drake ran up to me guiding me back to my room banging on Josh's door.
"What's up bro?" Josh said rubbing his eyes.
"She's having the baby! Call an ambulance I don't know where the closest hospital is. Make sure you tell them that she's having a baby." Drake was at the point of hysterics.
"Drake relax the contractions are 15 minutes apart we have a lot of time. We know what to do so let's relax and get stuff ready. I need pajama's, baby clothes, my purse and wallet."
Drake took a deep breath and hugged me. He let go and got everything ready.
"Okay I called our doctor and he said he could fly out!" Drake said with a smile on his face.
"Drake we're not going to fly him out here! I'm okay there going to have doctors there."
"Okay… that's right. I just want this to go smoothly."
"Women have been having babies since the beginning of time, I'll be okay." I said giving him a smile.
"Wow this is great. I'm going to have a baby boy, 2 songs in the top 10 a number 1 selling album and 2 videos on TRL all in the same month. I am so lucky."
I laughed at first but he was being sincere this was his dream and they were all playing out in front of him. Another contraction was coming and now they were becoming more apparent and closer together. Josh ran over fully dressed.
"They said they don't just pick someone up if it's not an emergency. They said we can take a cab."
"What the hell!" Drake was so mad he picked up the phone and dialed again. I took the phone off him so he didn't piss off Philadelphia and have the 911 call plastered on TMZ.
Operator- 911 what's your emergency?
Me- Hello I'm about to have a baby I need an ambulance now!
Operator- How far apart are your contractions.
Me- 3 minutes apart, I'm in town visiting relatives I'm not supposed to be having this baby for another 5 weeks! I live in California I don't know were any hospitals are especially ones that deliver babies.
Operator- You're still too far apart for us to dispatch an ambulance.
Me- Listen my names Ashlee Green my husband is Drake Parker one of the biggest singers out right now I will pay whatever it cost just please get a an ambulance here! I was now in serious pian Get me your supervisor
Operator- Hello who is this?
Me- My name is Ashlee Green and I need an ambulance at the Hilton hotel in downtown Philadelphia now!
Operator- What's your emergency.
Me- I'm having a baby! I'm not from around here I don't know were any hospitals are!
Operator- Sorry we don't dispatch ambulances for births all the time it took you to argue with our dispatcher you could have been there by now..
Me- What the fuck!
"I had to hang up go down the stairs and hail a cab Josh!" I yelled in pain.
"Ash okay calm down you said we have time." Drake said rubbing my back.
"No the contractions are getting closer and closer together and…" I couldn't finish my sentence I just started crying.
"Eww… Ash…" Drake noticed the puddle of fluid around my feet. I just cried louder.
"No baby I'm sorry not eww. It's a good thing." Drake pulled my night gown over my head I slipped out of my panties and got redressed. Josh had hailed a taxi now all I had to do was get to the front entrance. We finally made it to the cab and we were on our way to the hospital.
"Drake call my mom please." I laid my head on josh's shoulder cringing every time I had a contraction. Drakes lap was piled with the hospital bags. Josh flipped open his camcorder.
"What are you doing Josh?" I asked into the camcorder.
"I'm taping it, don't you want it taped?" Josh asked with a smirk.
"You can tape all you want after the babies born!" I screamed and pushed the camcorder away from my face. "Call your mom and your sister! Let them know what's going on."
"Baby here lay your head on my shoulder." Drake tapped Josh on the back of the head. "Your moms going to meet us at Hyndman Hospital, where they're taking us she said it's gonna take her awhile since its all the way down town, but she said she'll get here as fast as possible." He rubbed my head and kissed my forehead.
"I felt so protected in his arms."
