Chapter ten
Kono's eight months and two weeks pregnant.
Kono stormed out of her grandmother's house and waddled down the street as her face contorted in anger. It was no longer tears that washed across her face but cold hard fury at the disrespectful members of her family. The words exchanged had been bitter and venomous and Kono was sick and tired of the whispers. She had finally come to peace with herself and her actions and no longer felt the intense feeling of guilt. She was excited to have her baby and start her life with Adam but the lack of support by most of her family hit her hard. She had ignored everyone's calls and begged to be left alone. She swiftly found herself padding along the beach, the sand now cold, the sun long gone. Kono sat down and rested her hands on her stomach, she had been feeling a little off and an odd ache resonated in her stomach. She put it down to the stress caused by her family and watched the crashing waves.
It wasn't long after Kono had sat down that the growing ache in her stomach became more pronounced. She flinch at the shock and rubbed her stomach trying to ease the pain. Her stubborn nature forbidding her to panic and get help and she breathed heavily in an attempt to control her growing agony.
Poppy made her way down the beach, the cool crisp air brushing against her bare skin. She loved to take a swim at night in the peaceful water, the tranquillity putting her at ease after a long day. She waded through the water, the waves lapping at her knees when she noticed the figure of a girl crouched and rocking back and forth. She frowned and headed over, her eyes growing wide when she realised it was Kono.
"Kono!" Poppy called as she ran to Kono's aid, dropping down on her knees.
Kono looked at Poppy, her face was now sweaty and pale and her breathing shaky.
"P…Poppy"
"Oh my god, you're in labour!"
"No, I'm fine I'm just stressed, it's not time"
"Kono your water's have broken" Poppy informed as they both looked at the now damp sand and Kono's wet legs.
"I can't be"
"Well I think you are how early are you?"
"Two weeks"
"That's nothing, it's normal"
"I can't do this yet" Kono cried in pain.
"You can Kono, how long have you been in pain for?"
"I don't know…it started off weak but it got worse about fifteen minutes ago"
"Okay you're going to be fine I'll drive you to the hospital"
"I need my mum and Adam"
"We can call them on the way" Poppy said as she helped Kono stand on shaky legs.
Kono lay in the hospital bed in pain, Poppy by her side while a doctor tried to calm Kono down. Nani and Adam plus the rest of the family were on their way to the hospital. Kono kept crying out for her mum as the doctor tried to keep check on all her vitals.
"Kono you need to breathe"
"I can't!"
"Kono its fine just take deep breaths" Poppy encouraged.
"No I need my mum!"
"Deep breaths"
"ERGHHHHH!"
Kono cried in agony, tears rolling down her cheeks as she tried keeping herself relaxed. She wanted to push but the doctor told her she wasn't ready yet. She fisted the sheets in her hands, her face red in pain. Just as the doctor told Kono to start pushing her mum and Adam ran into the room.
"Oh keikei were here" Nani cried as she took her place next to Kono.
"Babe I'm here it's going to be okay, we got this" Adam encouraged, placing a kiss to her temple.
"I hope everything goes okay Kono" Poppy whispered as she went to leave.
"NO don't leave!" Kono sobbed reaching for Poppy.
Poppy frowned but took Kono's hand reassuringly as she stood next to Adam who had his arm wrapped around Kono so she could lean into him.
"Start pushing Kono" The doctor instructed.
"AHHHHHHHH"
"Good girl keep going"
"MMMMPHHHHH"
"And again"
"ARGGGGGHHHHHHHH IT HURTS!"
"It's so worth it keikei" Nani whispered.
"I can't do it anymore"
"Ssshhhh you can Kono, you don't give up" Adam encouraged.
"MMMMMPPHHHHHHHARGHHHHH!"
"Yes baby!" Adam cried happily.
"ERGHHHHH"
"One more big one Kono"
"No more" Kono sobbed shaking her head.
"Come on Kono you can do it girl!" Poppy exclaimed.
"Our babies nearly here babe" Adam said.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!"
*Baby cries*
"Oh god…" Kono sobbed happily.
"It's a girl" The doctor informed as she handed Kono the baby.
"We have a daughter" Adam smiled tearfully.
"We do, she's so beautiful" Kono cried as she puckered up and kissed Adam romantically.
"Oh keikei you did so well" Nani grinned proudly.
"We did it" Kono sobbed.
Kono rocked the baby gently as she lay on the bed with Adam, his arm around her shoulders protectively.
"She needs a name" Adam whispers softly.
"Mmmm"
"Mmmm?"
"Mmmm…I like baby girl"
"It's original"
"Very" Kono giggled.
"What about rummy?"
"Rummy…where did you get that one from?"
"She's here because of rum" Adam quirked.
Kono went blank and looked to Adam sternly her face serious as Adam suddenly panicked and tried to apologise.
"I prefer Gin Rummy" Kono winked with a laugh.
"Funny, like Jim rummy"
"Exactly"
"What about Wave"
"What because I surf?"
"Ahh you nailed it!"
"Come on something serious"
"Ermmm Quinn?"
"No"
"Ergh fine"
"What about Tilly?
"What is she a rag doll?"
"Shut up" Kono laughed.
"Okay what about Isla?"
"Yeah I like it"
"Yeah?"
"Isla Poppy?"
"Sounds perfect babe"
"Isla Poppy it is"
"Welcome to the world little one"
