"Honestly will you all stop panicking, jeez anyone would think I'm dying" Blossom said airily, stepping out of my car with Brick at her side.
After Blossom said those three little words back at the apartment and ruined Butch and Buttercup's floor the room went into a frenzy. Brick froze on the spot while me and Buttercup ran to Blossom's aid, I expected panic, fear and a mad dash to the hospital like you see in all the movies but after a moment of fear from Blossom she was totally calm.
While the boys try to get Brick back to consciousness and actually move him, we got Blossom downstairs and into my car very smoothly and easily. Before I even had a chance to start the car Brick came flying out of the building and threw himself into the car.
Now where at the hospital and Blossom is shown into a private room as she prepared for labour.
"Oh wait! Bubbles, Buttercup will you stay please?" She asks, I smile and nod while Buttercup looks as green as her eyes.
"Heh heh you see I would Bloss but uhmm... this stuff kinda... freaks me out... kinda" Buttercup stutters, Blossom smiles understandingly. "It's okay Buttercup you don't have to be in here of you don't want to" Buttercup smiles relieved and makes her way to the waiting room with everyone else.
"Are you excited?" I ask sitting down in a chair at the side of her bed, Blossom gives a sheepish smile.
"A little... I just hope everything goes well"
Brick is at the other side of Blossom's bed rummaging through the hospital bag they both had prepared. "What are you looking for?" I ask, he doesn't look up and before he can respond he pulls out a small red ball.
"Ah-Ha!" He exclaims, me and Blossom both look at him puzzled as to why a small red ball was so significant.
"What is that?" Blossom asks, Brick smiles and squeezes the now squishy ball as it slowly formed back into its original shape. "A stress ball, I use it a work but I can tell it's going to come in very handy today" He grins pleased with himself, I giggle and Blossom rolls her eyes and mutters 'idiot' under her breath. Just then she shifts herself so she's propped up a little further as a contraction shoots through her body.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow" She says while taking quick sharp breaths, Brick takes one of her hands and begins squeezing the stress ball rapidly while I rub up and down Blossom's arm. "Ahh" She breaths out as she flops back down onto her bed.
"Your doing great Blossom" I smile. "Right Brick?" I look over to red eyed man for me to find fear and worry splashed across his face, I glare at him and motion for him to follow me.
"I never thought it would be that intense" Blossom says, me and Brick begin walking to the end of her bed and I laugh slightly.
"Who ever said childbirth was a swim in a cool pool of water Blossom? But you'll be fine, Brick's going to go call your parents and I'll go get you some ice chips okay?" I say, Blossom looks worried at the thought of us both leaving her alone.
"You can't leave me alone in here!" She protests.
"I'll get one of the guys to come in okay?" Brick says, Blossom looks unsure then nods her head we both head out of the room to see Buttercup, Boomer and Butch all in the waiting room.
"Hey where's Dan?" Brick asked, Buttercup sigh. "Hey said he had to run to work to finish off some report but he wishes you the best" Butch rolls his eyes.
"How's she doing?" Boomer asks.
"Okay labour is unpredictable so we don't know how long it's going to be, I'm off to get her some ice chips and Brick's going to ring her parents. So would one of you please go in there and keep her company?" I ask, Buttercup pales again and I smile reassuringly at her so she knows she doesn't have to go in. Butch still looks furious from his earlier fight with Buttercup so he might not be the best person to comfort someone. So I turn to Boomer who looks warily at me as I pout.
"Boomer?" I ask he sighs and stands up running a hand through his hair.
"There's no like.. gross stuff right?" He asks impishly, I laugh. "No silly just go support her we won't be long" Boomer sighs and makes his way over to the door and slowly enters. With the door closed I all but drag Brick down an opposite corridor.
"What are you doing?" He snaps, I put my hands on my hips and narrow my eyes.
"Why are you so scared?" I counter, Brick's angry expression looks to one of shock. "I'm not scared!" He protests.
"Yes you are I saw your face in there, your scared for Blossom and the baby aren't you?" I ask more softly dropping my arms to my side, Brick sighs and runs a hand down his face.
"I just don't like seeing her in pain" He says quietly, but his problems ran deeper than what he was telling me. I was very empathetic with people so I can usually tell when they have more pressing matters on their mind.
"And?" I push, Brick cocks an eyebrow. "What? That's all" He says defensively, I look at him seriously, he wavers for a second before groaning and sitting down on one of the metal chairs.
"I'm scared of being a dad." He says, he looks down at his hands that are laced together in front of him. "I mean I know I'm going to be one and everything and I am excited it's just now that where actually here and Blossom's in labour it's kind of hit me. When I was younger my father was a complete ass he was never home he never played with me then he left me and my mom for some slapper he worked with. I guess I'm just worried that my work will get in the way of me raising my kid and I don't want him to hate me... What if he hates me?" Brick said looking at me completely petrified, I take his hand.
"Your child won't hate you Brick and your not your father so don't think like that. You won't let work get in the way of raising your son because you won't let it because you'll love him too much and he'll love you unconditionally for the rest of his life just like you will. Every man feels like this at first but you have to know that your not doing this alone, Blossom will be there with you and so will we"
Brick looks at me and smiles and... do I see a tear in his eye? He looks down the hall and when he looks back it's gone. "Thanks Bubbles" He says.
It's been 3 hours since we arrived at the hospital and since Brick emotional breakdown but everything seems okay now...
"AHHHHH!"
Well as okay as it can be with a labouring woman, Blossom was laid on her hospital bed her hair tried into a ponytail and she was panting heavily.
"Ugh this can't go on any longer!" Blossom whimpers, Brick pushes a few stray hairs from her face and kisses her forehead. "Your doing great Blossom, it won't be for much longer now" He says, I hold Blossoms hand and rub her arm soothingly. Her parents where on their way back from Italy where they had been vacationing for the past week while Brick's mother was on a 5 hour train for her home across the country.
"Hi Blossom are you okay?" The Doctor asks walking in.
"Doctor you've got to get him out of there this is too much" Blossom says exasperated, the doctor checks to see how many centimetre's dilated she is and smiles. "Well I think we can get you to delivery your fully dilated" She smiles. I look at Blossom who looks amazed.
"Let's get this show on the road then Blossy" Brick grins as some nurses come in to take her to the delivery suite.
"Okay Blossom your ready to push, so when I say I want you to put your chin on your chest and take a deep breath and push down okay?" The doctor said, two other midwifes where dotted around the room.
I looked down at Blossom to see her hands laced with Brick's, she was taking short quick breaths and perspiration glittering her forehead. Brick was looking at her with a look of 'I-know-you-can-do-this'.
"Ready and push!" The doctor commanded, I placed my hands on her shoulder and arm, myself and Brick encouraging her.
"Come Bloss!" Brick said.
"You can do this" I said slightly squeezing her arm.
"UGHH!" Blossom breathed flopping back onto her bed.
"Your doing so well!" I praised.
"I can't- I can't do it again" Blossom gasped catching her breath.
"Yes you can! You can do anything Blossom!" Brick said with fierce determination as he kissed her on the lips. Blossom nodded and looked back at the Doctor.
"Ready again Blossom?" The doctor asked, Blossom let out a shaky breath and lent forward and with all her might pushed down hard.
"Ahhh!" Blossom yelled until everything went silent. We all looked toward the doctor who was looking at something until...
"Whaaaaaaa!" I loud wail filed the room, I smiled beamed across my face as I turned to face Blossom. She looked positively marvelled, while Brick looked crossed between a state of shock and amazement, but both looked relived.
"Wow" Blossom breathed happily.
"You did it" Brick grinned, looking down at Blossom in awe. Blossom looked at him with such a beautiful smile and everything seemed absolutely perfect.
"A-UGH!" Blossoms face suddenly scrunched up tight and she fell back into the bed.
The room then went into chaos.
"Quick!" The doctor yelled, the baby being passed across the room to a nurse.
"What's the hell is happening!" Brick yelled, his face stricken with panic his eyes wild and looking a deep red.
Suddenly I heard the sound of something similar to the sound of a bucket of water falling over and splashing to the floor. I looked towards the sound and I see something straight out of a horror movie.
The sound was actually Blossom's blood gushing out of her.
I looked at Brick who chocked out something incoherent at the scene before him. My eyes snapped to Blossom who was now unconscious, her face drained of colour and looking deathly shallow.
"She's haemorrhaging " The doctor said, a nurse ran across the room and slammed her hand down on a red button on the wall and a loud siren filled the room.
"Blossom? BLOSSOM?" Brick said placing his hands on either side of her face, looking like a man who had just been set on fire.
"Excuse me but you must leave" A nurse says to me taking me by my arms and ushering me out.
"No way am I going any where!" Brick venomouslyyells, I walk round the foot of Blossom's bed and take a glance. The sight makes me dizzy, and I realises where more help letting the doctors work.
"B-Brick come on" I plead grabbing his arm and all but dragging him out, we take one last look before where pushed into the waiting room with 3 pairs of eyes looking at us for answers.
"What's happened?" I turn at the sound of Buttercup's voice and I struggle to find my own, the images I just witnesses burning strong in the for front of my mind. I turn to Brick to see him raking his fingers through his hair.
"T-The doctors said that she was haemorrhaging " I explain having the feeling that Brick couldn't.
"What does that mean?" Boomer asks and I shrug my shoulders. I was positively terrified I felt Boomer's arms around me and he pulled me into a hug. "Bubbles your scaring me you've gone so pale" He says, I swallow the lump in my throat.
"What's happening?" Buttercup asked as she and Butch stood up, Brick had his arms crossed facing the emergency door so no one could see his face.
"She- Uhm she had the baby and everything was fine... When her b-blood poured out of her... a-and she feel unconscious-" I said until I couldn't stop the tears burring my face into Boomer's chest his arms tightened and no one spoke.
Suddenly doctors ran past rushing into her room with equipment and white plastic tubs on a trolley and ushered in. "You what's going on?" Buttercup yelled grabbing a nurse coming out of Blossom's room, the small female looked at everyone slightly worried.
"I'm sorry I can't talk" She says before trying to scurry off but Buttercup wasn't about to give in so easily. "Tell us now" She said standing in front of the small nurse, the nurse looked annoyed and panicked.
"She's flat lined"
Buttercup's arms fell to her sides in shock and I felt as if the air was knocked out of me, Boomer was frozen and Butch's eyes had widened. I turned to Brick who threw is hat on the floor and sat down in one of the metal chairs his head in his hands. We all sat down around none of us saying anything because nothing anyone could say right now would be the right thing.
Dun Dun DUN! :O
