Another three months flew by fast, almost as if they never happened. In the short time, Lauren had everything finished. The nursey was completed and awaited the arrival of Alec, the wedding plans was in the stages of getting completed, and the relationship between her and Raylan, was only getting stronger. Everything was going perfectly, something Lauren had always wanted to happen since the start.
Lauren sat on the couch, working on the wedding plans. Finding the perfect color for the dresses, was a lot harder than it sounded. She couldn't pick any color, it had to be the perfect color. Lauren flipped through a bridal magazine, and marked each dress she liked. A smile formed over her lips as she saw the dress she wanted, but her smile soon faded away. Pains began to strick from her stomach, and a look of worry came over her face. "It can't be time." She whispered, pulling herself up.
A gasp of pain escaped her lips as she placed her hand over her stomach. A strange sensation came over her, and she shook her head. "Dammit." She mumbled, running a hand through her hair. Her water had broken. Lauren stood at the end of the couch, propping herself up with one hand as she looked to the stairs. "Raylan!" She screamed, the pain obvious in her voice. Another contraction hit the second Raylan walked downstairs. "What is it?" He asked, concerned for his fiancée.
"Baby." Lauren whispered, motioning him over her. A look of shock formed on Raylan's face, as he made his way over to her. He let her take his hand, and nearly hit the floor from how hard she squeezed. "Goddammit, Lauren." He mumbled, pulling himself up. "We have to get you to the hospital." He said, slowly pulling her away from the couch. He held her hand and walked over to the door, opening it up. "You're going to be okay." He said reassuringly, as he helped her out the door. He knew she was going to be okay, but was he going to be okay? His fiance was giving birth to their son, he didn't know how to react to the situation.
After getting Lauren in the car, he climbed into the front seat and started the car. "We'll be there in no time." He stated, backing out the driveway and speeding off down the highway. In a quick ten minutes, the two arrived at the hospital. Raylan parked the car in front of the emergency entrance, and jumped out, running inside. "Wife, baby, labor, now." Raylan said frantically. A nurse quickly walked out from behind the desk and grabbed a wheelchair, walking out to Lauren. Lauren climbed out of the car, and eased her way into the wheelchair.
As the nurse took her inside and back to the room, she clutched onto Raylan's hand. The amount of pain she was going through, was unbearable. After she had the child, she was determined to never have sex again. She didn't want to be through that much pain again. As Lauren was brought into the room, she got out the wheelchair and changed into a hospital gown. "I hate you for this." Lauren mumbled, letting Raylan help her into the bed. A smirk formed over his lips as he looked down at her. "I bet you won't hate me after that baby is born." He stated, glancing to her stomach. "We'll see." She rolled her eyes.
Two hours and many contractions later, Lauren still had yet to give birth to her son. The doctors checked constantly, and still no sign of her being ready. "Can't they enduce labor?" She asked, glancing up at Raylan. A simpled head shake from him, caused her to whimper. All she wanted was the baby to be born. Was that really so much to ask?
The door swung open and the doctor walked in, nurses following behind him. He walked to the end of the bed and sat on the stool, checking Lauren. "You're ready." He stated, putting on the nessecary gloves. "See, the baby is getting here faster than you told." Raylan said, letting her once again take his hand. He knew that pain she was going to cause him, but he was ready for it.
"One the count of three, I need you to push." The doctor said, looking up to Lauren. Lauren sat up in the bed and nodded her head, as she bit down on her lip. The moment of truth was happening, she was having her son. "Okay. One, two, three, push." The doctor counted. Lauren gripped Raylan's hand tight and took a deep breath, as she started to push.
It seemed like forever, but as Lauren gave her final push, a scream sounded in the room. Lauren closed her eyes and laid back in the bed, listening to the sound the crys of her newborn baby. "You did it, Lauren." Raylan whispered, kissing her forehead. He brushed her hair out of her face and watched as the baby was handed off to a nurse. The nurse wrapped the baby in a blue blanket, then brought him to Lauren, placing him in her arms. "He's beautiful." Lauren said, looking at her son. Tears of happiness welled up in her eyes, as she took everything in.
Raylan looked down at his son, and tears welled up in his own eyes. The missing puzzle piece from his life was being held by the girl of his dreams. Everything he wanted, was falling into place. His life seemed to get better with each and every thing that happened. "Alec Samuel Givens, welcome to the world." Raylan whispered, glancing over to Lauren. The look of happiness on her face, was truly heart warming. He loved how his face was coming along. He loved how Lauren looked, whilst she held their son. He truly loved everything about that moment.
