La da di da. I'm back. Again.
So here's the baby chapter. lol. It's a bit of a filler, but I think it's cute.
Oh, the song is You Have My Attention by Copeland and no I don't own that either. It's just an amazing song.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, no Spashely, no South, no Kyla, no Athlete, not even stupid Aiden. Just my crazy cool checkered glasses. So please don't sue. I'd probably cry.
-------
It had been four hours since Ashley had arrived at the hospital to a frantic looking Glen and an angry Kyla. She had been standing next to her sister's bed this whole time, and every time Kyla had a contraction Ashley's hand felt like it was going to fall off. Kyla refused to let Glen near her, she had gone into a blind fury earlier, throwing things at Glen, proclaiming that she was gonna chop his junk off if he ever came near her again. So Glen sat, nervously, at the other end of the room.
'Kyla, babe, seriously, I know it hurts, but I'm gonna need my hand back in a minute or else Glen is going to have to come over here.' Ashley whined.
'You think this only hurts? It's fucking excrutiatinggggg-ahhhhh!' Kyla shouted as another contraction hit. They had started off slowly, but now they were progressing to every two or three minutes.
'Kyla, breathe kid.' Just as Ashley was trying to consult her little sister, the nurse came in to check up on Kyla.
'Well, it looks like we're about ready to start the show.' The nurse smiled at Kyla, who gave her the dirtiest look Ashley had ever seen.
'Really? That's exciting. That's good, right babe?' Glen asked excitedly.
'For you it is, you're not the one that has to pop a human being out of your vagina!' Kyla said angrily.
'I would if I could.' Glen tried to console his girlfriend.
'That's easy for you to say now.' Kyla laughed bitterly.
'Okay, okay you two. Glen, go sit back in your chair before she starts throwing things again.' Ashley said with a slight chuckle.
They had waited another ten minutes until the door had suddenly opened, and in walked the one person that Ashley had not wanted to run into today. She had been hoping that maybe, by some divine power, that she would stay home for this event.
'Hey guys, how's it going?' The brunette asked.
'How does it look like it's going?' Kyla snapped as another contraction hit.
Ashley tried to stifle her laugh, but was failing miserably. She liked that her sister was being rude to this outsider, this intruder.
'Well, it can only get better from here, right?' The brunette asked.
'Oh yeah, Felisha, it's gonna be great to pop a child out of me.' Kyla said, saying the woman's name with such disdain.
'So, uh, where's Spencer?' Glen decided to but in at that exact moment, hoping to stop the catfight that was sure to be in the future if somebody didn't intervene.
'Oh, she just had to use the restroom.' Felisha asked.
Felisha, god what a stupid freaking name! I mean, couldn't she even spell it right? No she had to try to be all unique and spell it with an sh instead of a ci. Gah!
Ashley couldn't help but hate the girl already, hate the girl that was currently in possession of her heart. She despised this woman, the intruder.
Just as she was thinking of the thousand ways in which she wanted to make the woman disappear, her senses kicked in and the door opened. She knew who it was before the woman even made her entry to the room. She had felt it, call her crazy, but she always knew when Spencer was near her. It was as if she had a Spencer sense.
It sounded ridiculous, and she knew it, but she couldn't not feel her presence in a room. It was impossible to not feel your heart when it was so close to you.
Spencer had walked into the room and immediately towards Felisha, who grabbed her hand and linked them.
'Hi Kyla, how're you feeling?' Spencer asked with a hint of apology.
Instead of being hostile, Kyla smiled towards the blonde, 'I'm okay, and these contractions are crazy.'
Ashley didn't find it the least bit weird that Kyla had been nice to Spencer, they had been friends since high school, and even though Ashley had dropped off the face of the earth for a little more than a year, Kyla and Spencer still maintained their friendship.
Spencer made a move to walk to the other side of Kyla, the side that Ashley was currently not occupying. She made no eye contact with Ashley, and avoided any type of conversation with her.
'We'll aren't you excited? You get to meet your baby girl in a little bit!' Spencer said, running her hand through Kyla's hair, calming her down.
Spencer always had a way of doing that to people. She could calm a room full of rowdy people in a matter of minutes.
'Yeah, I guess I am. I'm just not excited for the actual process.' Kyla said, as she suddenly gripped Ashley's hand when another contraction came on.
Ashley winced slightly in pain, she was sure that she was going to have to get her hand checked out before she left, Kyla had a grip like none other and refused to hold anybody else's hand.
The nurse came in the room in a flurry, moving about the room, setting things up.
'Okay, it's time; I'm just going to call the doctor.' The nurse said in a hurry as she rushed out of the room.
Ashley leaned down to Kyla's ear and whispered. 'You're going to do so good, you're a great mom already, and I'll be with you the whole time.'
A warm smile began to spread on Kyla's face. It had taken her and Ashley almost a year to start talking to each other, and almost two years to gain the friendship that they had now. She wouldn't trade her sister for the world, and was proud to have somebody that cared for her so much.
'Thank you.' Kyla whispered while gently squeezing the older girl's hand.
'Okay Kyla, it's time to start the process. I'm going to have to ask that the other's leave the room. Only two people can be in here with you.' The doctor announced as he began washing his hands.
Felisha stood up out of the chair she was in and stood at the door awkwardly as Spencer kissed Kyla on the forehead and walked towards the door. The arrangement had been made ahead of time; Kyla had wanted Ashley in the room with her, and Glen, obviously since he was the father. The arrangement worked out well considering the fact that Spencer hated hospitals.
A couple profanities, pushes, and excruciating hand grabs later, and Kyla was almost there.
'Okay Kyla, I can see the head, a couple more big pushes and you'll get to meet your baby girl.' The doctor said enthusiastically.
Kyla grunted loudly and then fell back onto the bed, her forehead covered in sweat. Glen had tried to come up and wipe it off a couple times earlier, until Kyla told him that she was going to take the tray on the side of the bed and shove it up his ass. He had steered clear of his girlfriend since then.
'Breathe Kyla, just breathe.' Ashley said soothingly as she mimicked how to breathe to her sister.
The final push had almost knocked Kyla out; she had fallen back on the bed almost in tears. Then Ashley heard, what she thought was the most beautiful sound ever, her niece screaming at the top of her lungs.
'Congratulations Kyla! You have a healthy baby girl!' The doctor exclaimed with a smile as the nurses had taken the baby to the side to clean her up.
'You did it baby! You did it, god you're so beautiful.' Glen said as he wrapped Kyla in a hug and kissed her sweaty head.
Ashley couldn't help but smile at the couple. They had come so far since they had started dating, and now they were proud parents of a beautiful baby girl.
Glen had let go of Kyla to walk over and hold his daughter for the first time.
Ashley had stared at Kyla for a while, just taking in all that was her. She hadn't been more proud of her sister than in that moment. She ran her hand through Kyla's hair for a while.
'I'm so proud of you.' Ashley whispered as the two sisters shared a look, an understanding, between the two of them.
Glen had come back to the bed carrying the most beautiful sight Ashley had ever seen.
'Mommy, meet your baby.' He said as he smiled and handed the baby to Kyla.
Kyla immediately had tears in her eyes. 'Hi baby, I'm your mommy.'
'So I guess I'll go tell everybody that everything is okay.' Glen said as he took one last look at his family and walked out of the door.
Kyla and Ashley had been sitting there staring at the baby for what seemed like an eternity.
'So, have you thought of a name yet?' Ashley asked quietly, not wanting to disturb the sleeping baby.
'Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that, me and Glen want you to name her.' Kyla said as she looked up to Ashley smiling.
'Kyla, no, I can't do that. She's your kid, you have to do that.' Ashley attempted to relent.
'Ashley, we've already decided, we want you to name her. There will be no arguments about this.' Kyla said.
'Here, you take her, let her meet her auntie.' Kyla said as she began to lift the baby to Ashley.
'Ashley had taken the baby and immediately melted. She had immediately fallen in love with the little girl before she was even born, and now in this moment, she had fallen even harder for the pink little bundle.
She didn't know how long she had been just staring down in awe at the little being, but when she looked towards her sister she was asleep.
Ashley had just decided to keep the baby in her arms; she didn't ever want to let her go. The baby stirred in her arms and began to fuss. Ashley had begun to rock her while walking around the room. The little bundle wasn't going for it, so she tried the only thing she could, she started to sing to her.
Quiet now.
Your voice sings miles away
but somehow I hear your song resound
A little bit softer each day
And from my tired heart, a little bit farther away.
I'll sing along
The whole day through.
Just do your best to hear me.
It's all you can do.
You have my attention
Like you've had all the while,
Since that first day when you made my heart smile,
With loving eyes and tired sighs that follow.
You have my attention
Like a shout through an empty sanctuary.
Speak but a whisper;
I'll hear a sermon
By this time the baby had fallen asleep, but Ashley couldn't stop singing to her, if it's what made the baby happy, then she'd sing for the rest of her life.
While she was singing the door opened slowly and quietly, in the dark room she could hardly make out the figure but she knew who it was, she had known before the girl had even walked into the door.
I'll sing along
the whole day through.
Just do your best to hear me.
It's all you can do.
I'll sing along
the whole night through.
While you sleep safely,
I'll be thinking about you.
You have my attention.
She finished the end of the song and looked up to the figure standing less than two feet away. The figure walked closer to her and peered into the bundle of blankets.
'She's beautiful.' The voice rasped. It was the first time in almost two years that she had heard that voice so close to her, addressing her.
'She's more than beautiful.' Ashley said as the both of them peered over the sleeping baby.
Review, cause it's what all the cool kids are doing. :)
thanks.
