He did it again (chapter 9)
This had been a long 9 months. So Rachel and me went to a café to take our minds off of it, we both just had juice and sandwiches, it was quite relaxing actually, we talked a lot about lots of stuff, glee club, Finn, Puck, school, there wasn't much else we could talk about to avoid the obvious. We finished our food and drink, and headed back out to Rachel's car so we could go home. We got to Rachel's car, she opened the door, and I felt a sharp pain in my stomach
"Owwww!"
It really hurt, I looked down at the ground, there was a trail of fluid running down my legs and it had started to form a pool on the ground.
"r-r-r-Rachel"
I stuttered, Rachel looked over and saw the pool forming on the floor, she looked terrified. I don't think she knew what it was, I certainly did, she was coming alright, I started sweating like mad, and my heart was pounding
"M-m-my water b-b-broke r-r-Rachel"
I stuttered, we hadn't moved at all, and I knew we probably should, so I climbed into the passenger seat of Rachel's car and she climbed in the other side.
I felt another sharp pain, it was a contraction, and it really really hurt
"Owwwww!"
I screamed, Rachel patted my knee, but I just grabbed her hand and squeezed it until it looked like it was going to drop off, Rachel said
"Im driving as fast as I can, just breathe normally, that's what you told me, you said remember to breathe normally and you will be fine, so take your own advice, it might help"
She was right, it did help a little bit, but not much, I was in so much pain, and this was only a contraction, this made me terrified because I knew actually getting her out of me would hurt 1000 times more, which was going to be so bad. Tears streamed down my cheeks, as I writhed around in the car seat, what ever position I was in, I wasn't comfortable at all, I dug my nails into Rachel's hand
"Ouchhh!"
She screamed, but I couldn't help it, I knew this would be over soon, contractions didn't usually last long, so I kept breathing normally and hoping it would go away soon, I stuttered
"c-c-c-call p-p-p-puck when we g-g-get there"
Then I sighed in relief, the contraction was over, but I knew that there was going to be another one in a minute or 2, the tears continued rolling down my cheeks, my cardigan was now soaked with them, Rachel tried to comfort me, it kinda worked, but not really, I felt the pain again, another contraction had come
"Owwww! Im going to kill puck!"
I shouted, I didn't know if I actually wanted to kill him, but I was in so much pain, I couldn't really think straight, so I just said anything.
We arrived at the hospital, and we rushed in as fast as we could, Rachel ran to the receptionist and said
"My friend is having her baby"
The receptionist called a nurse. The nurse came over with a wheelchair for me to sit in, but I couldn't really sit, I had to sit at an angle for it not to hurt even more, she wheeled me really quickly to a room, I lay down on the bed and a doctor came in
"Hello sweetie"
She checked how many centimetres I was dilated, and then told me
"We need to wait until your at 10 centimetres, I'll be back in 15 minutes to check again"
Rachel sat next to my bed, trying to comfort me, it didn't work, and she took out her phone and called Puck
"Puck, you need to come to the hospital now, Quinn's having the baby"
Then there was a buzzing coming from her phone, Puck had hung up, I had another contraction, it was a bad one, I screamed and writhed around
"Owwww! I need her out of me!"
It carried on for about 1 minute, shorter than the others, but it hurt much more, the doctor came back in again
"let check if your there yet"
She checked how many centimetres, but it still wasn't enough
"2 centimetres still need 8 more"
I sighed, I was fed up already and it had only been about 20 minutes, I was having contractions every 2 or 3 minutes, and I just wanted her to get out of me. Rachel patted my leg and said
"Don't worry, Puck will be here soon"
But that just made things worse, I was really angry with Puck now, for no apparent reason, so if he came in, I might do something I would regret, but I did want him to be here, he was the baby's father after all, and my boyfriend, I did need him, I just muttered
"Good, he better"
Pretty much as soon as I finished my sentence Puck burst in through the door, he ran over to my bed
"You've not had her yet have you? I came as quick as possible"
I glared at him, it was obvious I hadn't had her yet; I still had a baby bump the size of a massive beach ball, he took my hand and sat next to me, the doctor came back in again
"8cm, your doing well, 2 more and then you'll be ready, I'd say about another 15 minutes"
I couldn't handle another 5 minutes, let alone 15, the contractions wouldn't stop, and they got worse everytime, in 15 minutes I'd probably have 3 more, I just wanted her out and I wanted it straight away. The 15 minutes seemed like forever, I was clinging onto my stomach, as that made it feel slightly better, and with my other hand I was squeezing Pucks hand really tight, finally the doctor came back in again
"10cm, your there, im going to go get a nurse, when I come back im gonna need you to push okay?"
She went out, and came back a few minutes later, with another doctor and a nurse, they crowded around me, my doctor said
"Right, im gonna need you to push now sweetie, okay?"
I nodded, and the started pushing. Pucks hand was now red, and with my other hand I grabbed Rachel's hand too, I squeezed both of them super hard, and dug my nails in, tears came streaming down super fast, and my face was all hot and coated with sweat
"Ahhhhh!"
I screamed, pushing as hard as I could, it didn't make any difference at all
"you need to push harder, nothing's happening"
I couldn't push any harder, I was already pushing as hard as I could, I shouted
"I cant! Im trying as hard as I can!"
I grabbed my knees hoping this would help me push, it didn't. So I let go and took a deep breath, then I tried again, Puck went out of the room, he looked like he was going to faint, or throw up
"Where is he going? Im gonna kill him! Ahhhhh! Owwwww!"
I was so exhausted, I could barely move at all, I was screaming so much, I was gonna loose my voice, I tried to choke out
"c-c-cant you do anything t-t-to get h-h-her out? I WANT HER OUT NOW!"
The doctor shook her head, I needed her out, I was in so much pain it was unbelievable, and unbearable, I couldn't cope anymore. Just when I thought that she was never gonna come out of me, the doctor said
"Come on 2 more big pushes and your there"
I heard Rachel say
"Come on, you can do it!"
She was comforting me as much as she could, and she kept reminding me to breathe normally, which helped a lot, hyperventilating wouldn't of helped. I took a very big deep breath, and then push really really hard, as hard as I possibly could, then I paused for a breath
"One more push"
I thought to myself, I didn't think I could manage one more, but I tried as hard as I could. Then the sound of crying filled the room, she was out. I threw my head onto the pillow, I really needed some rest, the doctor finished cleaning her off and then laid her in a little baby-sized bed thingy, she headed back over to me
"Right, now for the next one"
I was so shocked, I was having twins? Since when? No one had told me I would have to give birth to 2 babies, I was so exhausted just after the first one, Puck opened the door and smiled, but I just glared at him. Rachel walked over to him
"I wouldn't go near her right now if I were you, she wants to kill you, and im afraid she might"
Puck backed away from the door, but then reconsidered and came back in again, as soon as he got anywhere near me I grabbed him by his collar
"You are staying with me! You're not going anywhere! Okay?"
Puck looked quite scared and intimidated, the doctor told me to push again. I pushed as hard as I could, then I threw my head forwards and it hit Pucks head, as if I wasn't in enough pain already, now my head hurt as well, Puck rubbed his head, and then I grabbed his hand from his head and dug my nails in, he was flinching like mad, but trying not to say anything
"1 more big push, and she'll be out, push as hard as you can"
The doctor said kneeling down ready for her to come out, I pushed as hard as I could, but nothing happened, Rachel said
"Come on Quinn! You can do it, push as hard as you can"
I felt like I was going to strangle her, I had pushed as hard as I could and nothing had happened, hadn't she realised that? Clearly not. I took a very long deep breath and then tried pushing again, a minute later the sound of crying filled to room again, the second one was out, I wondered if that was all, they hadn't told me about the second one, was there a 3rd one too?
"Now, can everyone give Quinn some room to get some rest, im sure she needs it"
The doctor said, everyone left the room, except for Puck, I grabbed his arm and stopped him
"Stay with me"
I whispered to him, but he said that I would be asleep, so there was no point, he was going to go and get a drink, and then he might come back but I wouldn't know, so I decided to go to sleep because I was so exhausted, I could sleep for a year.
A few hours later I woke up and turned around to see Rachel sitting next to me
"Quinn, are you feeling any better? I needed to talk to you so ive been waiting her for at least 1 hour while you slept"
I sat up and adjusted my pillow, and then I said
"Sorta, im still exhausted, but Yeh, im feeling a bit better, what did you want to talk about? Are you okay?"
I was starting to worry if she was okay or not, I listened eagerly for her reply
"Im really scared, terrified actually, I feel like im going to cry, seeing you, made me terrified, im going to have to do that? I don't think I can"
Then she broke down and burst into floods of tears
"Rachel, you'll be fine, I promise, I had to give birth to 2 babies, which is much harder than just 1, no wonder I was so big, and your doctor said that your baby is small, so that means it will be even easier, trust me, you'll be fine, in when your doing this, I'll be right beside you, okay? Don't cry Rachel, you'll make me cry, I already feel like an emotional wreak"
Then the doctor came in and handed me the twins, one at a time, it was hard to hold them at the same time, but I managed. The door opened and my mom rushed in
"Quinnie! Are you okay? Ive just got back, and then I heard a message on the home phone saying to come to the hospital because you were giving birth"
My mom had been out of town for a bit, she was supposed to be home that morning so Rachel had called her, but she didn't turn up, until now. She saw the twins
"There's 2 of them"
She put her hands on her mouth, as tears started falling down her cheeks, I started down at my daughters, it seemed weird to call them my daughters, im only 18 after all and I have 3 kids, so strange, but im thankful for it, I love them all, the doctor said
"Have you thought of any names for them yet?"
I didn't know, I needed to talk to Puck about that, just that minute Puck walked into the room
"Quinn, your awake"
He said, with a massive smile on his face, he came and sat next to me on the bed; he kissed me on the cheek and then kissed the twins on the top of each of their tiny heads, I said to him
"Any names in mind? I was thinking Eleanor, but now we have 2…"
He ran his fingers through my hair, and said
"Yeh, I love that name, what about Emily?"
We smiled at each other, and then hugged for a while, my mom and Rachel stood watching us, I turned to Rachel, she had a massive beaming smile on her face. The doctor came back
"Decided on names yet?"
Puck answered
"Eleanor and Emily"
I was holding one, and he was holding the other, we didn't know which one was which, but we didn't really mind, they looked exactly the same, tiny, with a tiny little bit of blonde hair, the only difference was one had green eyes, and one had brown, other than that, they were identical, it was amazing. I was still exhausted, completely wiped out; the doctor said that I had to stay the night, but the next morning I could go home. My mom went home to prepare the nursery for when I got home but Puck and Rachel stayed with me, I slept most of the time, I could of slept for a year I was so tired.
The next morning I woke up to the sound of Puck and Rachel arguing, I couldn't deal with this, I was still completely wiped out, if I was going to have to stop them from arguing too, that was just too much for me. They stormed into my room, still shouting at each other, I don't think they even noticed I was awake, and talking to them
"Please stop arguing guys, please? You're giving me a headache"
They didn't pay any attention, so I said it again
"Please guys?"
They still carried on shouting at each other, I sighed, if I couldn't stop Rachel and Puck from fighting how would I be able to raise 2 children, I was beginning to despair
"SHUT UP!"
I shouted at them, they finally stopped arguing
"I wake up to you too arguing, and I ask you nicely to stop, but you don't, im still exhausted, and im aching, I just need to rest, and with you guys arguing I cant, why are you arguing anyway?"
I could hear myself starting to sound like my dad, my mom never yelled, or shouted, or told off anyone, but my dad, he always did.
"Im sorry Quinn, we were packing your stuff up, and then Noah snatched one of the baby bottles off of me, and chucked it across the room"
Rachel said, while glaring at Puck, this was a stupid argument, so immature, Puck couldn't go a day without winding her up could he, he could of at least tried for me, his girlfriend who had just given birth to his twin daughters, but no, he didn't. Puck turned around to me
"Sorry Quinn, but I just couldn't resist it, Berry's tantrum's are hilarious"
He was acting like a child, but I didn't have to energy to shout at him, or really to talk at all, or to move, I just wanted to sleep
"Puck, just be nice, please? For me? I have no energy right now, I can't cope with you two fighting"
I laid my head back on the pillow and sighed. The doctor came in with the twins
"Here are your lovely daughters"
I got up out of the bed, and took one of them from her; I wasn't sure which one at the time. My brain wasn't working, as I was so tired, Puck came in and took the other one, I put my coat on over the top of my dressing gown, I couldn't be bothered to change, Rachel came in with my bags
"Ready to go?"
She said, she looked like a packhorse, bags were covering her, she was struggling to carry all of them, but wouldn't give any to anyone one else, she was determined to carry them herself, I nodded at her, and we headed out to her car to drive home.
When I got home my mom rushed to the door to help me
"You should go to bed and rest, I will bring you anything you want, ive set up the nursery, I will look after the twins for you as well if you want me to"
Puck looked at me weirdly, we still hadn't considered what we were going to do, where they going to live with me? Or was Puck gonna come live here? Or were we gonna get our own place? I had asked Puck, but hadn't got much help from him, so we still didn't know
"I would stay, but I have to baby sit my sister, I'll come round tomorrow"
Puck said, then he went home. I headed up to my room, I asked my mom to put the baby cots in my room for the moment, I wanted them in the same room as me, I was kinda paranoid, I lay in bed, with my hands on my belly out of habit, it was still quite comfortable actually, I daydreamed for a bit, and then started to worry about the twins, then I heard talking, my mom came in holding the phone
"Its your friend Mercedes Quinnie"
I took the phone from her, I hadn't called Mercedes because I knew she would have been at school, and you cant really just run out of school because your friends having a baby, or rather 2 babies, but Puck had, so it was probably possible.
"Hey Mercedes…"
But before I could say anything else she cut me off
"I didn't see you at school yesterday, I was worried, are you okay?"
I was worried that if I told her, she might be angry at me for not telling, I couldn't deal with anymore stress, or anymore anything I was too tired, and I didn't have enough energy for it, so I went ahead anyway
"Well, Rachel had the day off school for the doctors, so after she went we went to a café to take our minds off of being pregnant, and then…my water broke as we were walking to the car, so Rachel took me to the hospital, and I had twin girls, im really sorry I didn't call you, I was such a state by the time we got round to calling people, so I told Rachel to call Puck, but I really couldn't think, I was so stressed, and in a lot of pain"
But Mercedes didn't seem to mind
"Awww Quinn! Im so happy for you, and im so proud! Twins! Wow that's amazing! How did you do it? That must have been hard, poor you, I don't mind, I was there the first time hahaha, I understand you wouldn't of been able to think straight, I wont keep you from sleeping if you need to, im sure your exhausted"
I didn't want to stop talking to her, because I was feeling quite lonely, and I just wanted to talk to her as she is my best friend, even though I was having to force open my eyes to stop myself from falling asleep
"Thanks, no I want to keep talking, if I can keep my eyes open, I have no energy"
My mom came into my room and asked me if I was sure I didn't want to sleep, I did, but I wanted to talk to Mercedes if I could stay awake for long enough, the twins started crying their heads off, I sighed, as I heaved myself out of bed to try and get them to stop crying, I barely had any idea how to take care of one baby, now I had two, but they were staying with me no matter what, I love them and I was going to raise them myself, with the help of Puck and my mom.
"And now it starts"
I said to Mercedes, picking up one of the twins, I still couldn't really tell them apart, I didn't know which one I was holding, but it didn't really matter at that moment
"Shhhh, calm down baby"
I grabbed the bottle from my bed side table filled with milk, and fed it to the twin I was holding, she stopped crying, I laid her back in her cot and picked up the other one, I fed her too, and then I sighed in relief that they had both stopped crying, I went and sat back down on my bed, holding one of the twins and rocking her in my arms
"Sorry about that Mercedes, I can tell im probably gonna be up all night"
I sighed, and nearly fell asleep, I closed my eyes for a second and felt myself falling asleep, I dropped the phone on my bed, but as soon as I realised I was going to sleep I shook myself awake again
"I'd better go Mercedes, im falling asleep as I speak, I'll talk to you tomorrow"
I dropped the phone again, laid the twin I was holding in her cot and drifted off to sleep.
I spent most of the rest of that month sleeping, unable to do anything else, the twins kept me up all night most nights, and then I went to school 2 days a week so I wouldn't collapse from exhaustion, I thought I would have recovered a few days after, but it seemed like I would never not be tired again most of the time.
