Hey! Here's chapter 17! Ahh! The new baby is going to be here so soon! But I'm still soo sick! :(
Chapter 17 -2 Days Left-
JUNE 3RD- TEDDY POV-
Well, it's Tuesday, June 3rd. Any day now and I'll have my baby in my arms. There are things that's making me more anxious too. Like the kicking, my mood swings, and the cravings.
"Hey beautiful." Spence says coming to the couch and kissing me on the forehead. He just got back from taking the kids to school. They're going to be done with school on June 7th. Which is 4 days from now.
"How can you call me that?"
"It's the truth, you are."
"No I'm not. I'm fat, ugly, and badly tempered."
"No, you're pregnant, pregnant, and pregnant. I don't know how you do it."
"Do what?"
"Carry a child inside of you for 9 months straight. To be in agonizing pain while having a baby. You're so strong."
"Strong. Yeah right. I cry about almost everything, I get mad at the slightest things, I eat and eat and eat."
"Because you're pregnant. Teddy, please. It's the same thing every time."
"I don't know how you can stand me."
"Because I love you. I'd do anything for you. You know that."
"I know. I love you too. And I'm so, so happy that you'd do anything for me."
"That's what husbands are for right?"
"Yeah. Speaking of doing anything for me…"
"Yeah?"
"I'm craving sushi, and chocolate. So much right now."
"Okay. I'll go get some. You stay here."
"Okay. Wait, don't you have work?"
"Yeah, I'll pick up some sushi and chocolate and drop it off here, before I go to work. Okay?"
"Okay. Hurry though. Junior's getting hungry. And so am I."
"Alright." Spence says before he leaves.
"Milk and dark chocolate please!" I say before he shuts the door.
When he's gone, I turn on the TV. Then I hear a tap on the window that nearly gives me a heart attack.
"Shit!" I say. I quickly get up and go over to the window, but I see nothing.
I shrug it off and sit back down. Then the tapping starts again. I get up and go out front to see if anyone is there.
"Hello?" I say when I get outside. I see nothing and go back inside.
When I get back inside, I stop right in my tracks and see Beau standing in the living room.
"Why, hello Teddy."
"How'd you get in here?"
"You bought this house, ever heard of a back door? You seem to forget to lock it. A lot."
"Get out."
"Why? I just got here."
"I don't want you here Beau."
"That's no way to treat your guests."
"You're no guest. I didn't even invite you here. Let alone in."
"Teddy, come on. We both know the truth as of why you married Spencer in the first place."
"What? I married him because I love him."
"No, no. You married him, because you both think he's the father of the triplets. I'm their biological father."
"What?" I say shocked.
"You now know the truth. I'm sorry I kept it from you."
"No, Beau. You- you're not their-"
"Yes I am Teddy! Why can't you believe me?"
"Because I know that's not the truth. We've never had sex. I know that's how you get pregnant, I mean, look at me." I say pointing to my stomach.
"Yes, I know you're a slut. But that's not what we're talking about right now. Listen to me-"
"No, you listen to me. I want you out, before Spence gets back. Or I'm calling the police." I say picking up my phone.
"Fine. Fine. I'm done. I'm leaving. You just remember that I'll be watching." Beau says before he leaves out the front door.
15 MINUTES LATER- TEDDY POV-
When I get back in the living room from the kitchen, Spencer is standing there with sushi, chocolate, and flowers.
"What's with the flowers?" I say.
"For you." Spence says handing the dozen red roses to me.
"Thank you." I say hugging him.
"No problem, here you go. I have to leave, If I'm late again my boss will kill me."
"Okay. Bye." I say.
"Bye. Love you." Spence says kissing me.
"Love you too." I say, then Spence leaves. When he's gone I start eating. But when I take a bite I feel a huge kick. Not that I'm not used to that, it just caught me by surprise.
"No. No, no, no. You stay put. I want to eat. Stay." Then there was another kick like he or she was disagreeing with me.
"I don't care if you come, but I want to eat first. So give me about an hour." I say then there wasn't another kick. Like he or she was agreeing.
2 HOURS LATER- TEDDY POV-
I've been sitting on the couch, watching movies almost all day. And besides those few kicks about 2 hours ago, the baby hasn't bothered me.
"I need company." I say getting my phone.
TEXTING IVY- T= TEDDY I= IVY
T= Hey Ivy, you there?
I= Hey T. What's up?
T= Nothing much, just watching a some movies. You should come over if you're not busy.
I= Are you okay T?
T= I'm fine, I just need company. Spence is at work and the kids are at school.
I= Okay. I'll be there in a few minutes. Bye.
T= Bye.
DONE TEXTING IVY- TEDDY POV-
Now I just wait and be bored until Ivy gets here.
30 MINUTES LATER- TEDDY POV-
"What's taking her so long?" I say. Then the baby kicks again.
"Stop kicking me." I say. Am I really talking to my unborn child right now? Then the baby kicks again, but with more force.
"I said stop-" Then the baby kicks again. Even harder, if that's possible.
"Okay. I'm grounding you. Stop kick-" Then I feel it. The reason why the baby is kicking so much.
"Okay. You stay put. Please. I'm going to text Ivy, and she's going to be here. Stay. Put." Am I seriously talking to my unborn child right now? I'm going crazy.
TEXTING IVY- T= TEDDY I= IVY-
T= You seriously need to come now!
T= Ivy please answer me!
T= Ivy! Please!
30 MINUTES LATER-
T= Ivy please come over now!
T= Ivy!
T= Ivy!
T= Ivy!
T= Ivy please hurry up!
T= Ivy get over here now!
T= IVY!
T= IVY WENTZ!
T= Pleaseeee!
DONE TEXTING IVY- TEDDY POV-
It's been an hour since she said she'd come. And I'm in labor. Could she seriously pick the worst time to not be listening to me?
"Hey. I'm sorry. Emmet was talking and he wouldn't shut up, traffic, and everything else. My phone stopped working so I had to charge it. I finally got your messages. 12 unread messages? Really? Are you that bored?"
"Oh I'm sorry, I guess I should just tell this baby to pop back in, because you're. Too. Busy!"
"You're-"
"In labor? Yes! Can I have completely obvious for 2000 Alex?!"
"Okay, you don't need to be rude."
"Ivy, I've been in labor for almost 1 and ½ hours, I'm a little edgy."
"Okay, um. Do you know how far the contractions have been apart?"
"I don't know. Like maybe 1 every 7 minutes. Ow. Make that 5 minutes."
"We should get you laying down. Wanna go to your bed?"
"No I'll lay on this incredibly uncomfortable couch while in excruciating pain. But thanks for asking." I say rather sarcastically.
"Come on T." Ivy says.
When we're upstairs and I'm laying on the bed, she gets me some water.
"Thanks. I've been a horrible friend lately."
"T. Everyone has mood swings. Especially when they're pregnant. And even more when they're in labor."
"I know. I've just felt so- ow!"
"Should I call an ambulance?"
"No, I want Spence to be here."
"He can meet us at the hospital."
"No, I want him here. And I might as well do it here. I'm already in labor."
"Do you want me to call him?"
"Yes, please. Ow!"
"It's ringing."
"Anything?" I ask. She just shakes her head no.
"No. He's not picking up. I'm so sorry T."
"C- can you call my m- mom?"
"Yeah."
"Hello? Yeah, Mrs. Duncan. Teddy's in labor. She's been in labor for about 1 and ½ hours so far. No. Yeah, but he won't answer. Yeah. About 4-5 minutes apart. Oh boy. Okay. Thank you." Ivy says then hangs up.
"What was the oh boy for?"
"Your mom said with contractions 4-5 minutes apart, you might have the baby here."
"I- it's better than having the b- baby at the hospital without S- Spence. When did m- my mom say she'd be h- here?" I ask in pain.
"Soon." Ivy answers.
"More like now." I hear my mom say.
"That was f- fast." I say.
"I drove a little faster than the speed limit was, but that's because I'm a retired nurse and my daughter is about to have a baby with no epidural, in her house."
"Th- thanks mom."
"I don't think this baby is going to wait for an ambulance. We might as well do this now." My mom says.
"Okay." I say.
"Just let the contractions go, and when you're ready, the baby will be here soon." My mom says.
"Kay." I say, rather terrified.
1 HOUR LATER- TEDDY POV-
"Ugh." I say impatiently.
"Honey, I'm sorry. I thought the baby would come. You want me to call an ambulance?"
"Ow!" I say. I think that was the worst contraction I've ever had. You know, this time.
"Okay, maybe not. Keep breathing Teddy."
"Mom, we're home!" Xander says. Shit, I forgot about the kids.
"Shit." I say.
"It's okay, you want me to go down there and tell them?" Ivy says.
"Please. Just be honest."
"Okay."
IVY POV-
When I get downstairs I see all the kids.
"Where's mom?" Liv asks.
"She's upstairs." Then there was a scream.
"What's wrong? She sounds hurt." Hope says worried.
"She's having the baby." I say truthfully.
"Wait, isn't she supposed to have the baby in a hospital?" Rosie asks.
"Yes, but the baby started to come, and it's almost here now. So she has to have the baby here."
"Is she gonna be okay?" Elliot asks.
"She'll be fine. So will the baby." Then there was another scream.
"You kids stay here, I'll be right back." I say shortly after, then go upstairs.
"You want me to be downstairs with the kids? And in case Spence comes home?" I ask Teddy.
"Yeah. But he's not supposed to be home for another 3-4 hours." Teddy says.
"The baby will be here before then." Mrs. Duncan says.
"Okay. I'll be down there. What do I say if they ask why you're screaming?"
"Just tell them it's hurting really bad and I can't have any medication to stop the pain cause I'm not at a hospital."
"Okay. Good luck Teddy."
"Thanks."
When I get back downstairs I see the kids talking.
"Hey. Why is mom screaming so much?" Elliot asks.
"Because she's in a lot of pain right now." I answer.
"Can't she have anything to help the pain stop?" Xander asks.
"No, she's not at a hospital so she doesn't have anything." I reply.
"I feel really bad for her." Liv says.
"It's okay. It's not your fault." Then there was another scream.
TEDDY POV-
"Mom, it h- hurts so bad. I- I can't stand it."
"Honey, you're almost ready to push." Then I get really scared.
"But, what if s- something goes w- wrong?"
"When hasn't things went wrong for you while you were having a baby Teddy?"
"Okay you make a good point there, but still. Ow."
"Honey."
"I want Spence to be here."
"I am."
"Spence!"
"I'm so sorry Teddy. My boss wouldn't let me answer my phone, but on my break I turned it on and saw the text Ivy sent me. She explained everything in like, 300 words. That's a lot in a text by the way. Anyway, I told my boss, and he said if I walked out I was fired. So I ran out. Kind of a smart ass move, but I don't care. I'm going to be with you while you're having our baby."
"Spence, thank you to much." I say then hug him.
"Spencer, I need you to get some towels, blankets, and help deliver this baby." My mom says.
"I've never delivered a baby before." He says worried.
"You've been there with her the other times, right?"
"Yeah."
"Good enough for me." Then Spence goes to get the towels and blankets.
"Okay. Spencer, Teddy. Are you ready to meet the newest member of the Walsh family?" My mom asks.
"Yes." We both say.
"Okay Teddy, when I get to three, I want you to start pushing."
"Kay." I say.
"One, two, three." Then I started to push.
"You're doing great Teddy." My mom says.
"I can't do this." I say collapsing back down.
"Yes you can Teddy." My mom says.
"You're doing great Teddy." Spencer says.
DOWNSTAIRS- IVY POV-
"Is the baby born yet?" Hope asks.
"I don't think so. It's going to take a while." Then there were screams.
"Can I go see her?" Rosie asks.
"No, I don't think she wants anyone but your grandma and dad up there."
"How come you get to go up there?" Liv asks.
"Because I'm an adult, and sometimes she needs me too."
"All the adults get to do fun stuff." Elliot says.
"Elliot, I wouldn't say having a baby is fun. It hurts."
"Oh."
"I'm going to go see if she's okay. You kids stay down here."
UPSTAIRS- TEDDY POV-
When I collapse on the bed again, Ivy walks in after she knocks.
"Hey T."
"Hey."
"Any progress yet?" Ivy asks.
"The baby is getting closer. It'll be here soon, hopefully." My mom answers.
"Good. The kids are getting anxious. And truthfully, so am I."
"Teddy, it's almost time to push again." My mom says.
"Good luck T."
"Thanks."
"Bye."
"Bye." I say then she leaves.
"Okay Teddy. Are you ready again?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Here we go."
6:30 P.M.- TEDDY POV-
After I collapse onto the bed again, I groan.
"I'm going to go downstairs and check on the kids." Spence says then leaves.
"Ugh." I groan.
"Teddy, if I knew it was going to be like this, this long, I would've had you go to the hospital. I'm so sorry. But I didn't know. And it'd be kind of uncomfortable having a baby in a car if you did get unlucky. Don't you think?"
"Yeah. Yeah, it would. And I'm sorry mom."
"About what?"
"You don't have to do this. You can go home if you want."
"I don't think you and Spencer would make it alone."
"But you're not a doctor."
"Honey, I've helped deliver babies before, and I've done it 5 times on my own. I'm pretty sure I can do it all now."
"Spence is probably freaking out right now."
"Maybe he is. All dads do. Your father did. Every time."
"You've never had one at home though. Spence is probably, really freaking out."
"You should talk to him then."
"Mom, what do I say?"
"Just be honest. I know that will mean the most to him. I'll let you two talk alone." My mom says, then she goes downstairs. Not too much longer, and Spence comes upstairs.
"Hey."
"Spence?"
"Yeah Teddy?"
"Are you, scared?"
"About having another baby?"
"That, and me having it here, now."
"Yes, and yes. Are you?"
"Yeah. I'm really worried. Ow."
"Do I need to get your mom?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Teddy. If you need to push again, I should go get her."
"I'm f- ow. Go get her please."
"Okay." He says before he leaves.
"Ready to go again Teddy?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Hopefully this will be the last, or close to last."
"Okay."
DOWNSTAIRS- IVY POV-
"Is the baby here yet?" Rosie asks.
"No. I wish. I hate hearing my best friend in so much pain."
"Can you go check on her again?" Hope asks.
"Yeah, I'll be right back."
UPSTAIRS- TEDDY POV-
When I collapse on the bed again, Ivy walks in.
"Push Teddy." Then I start pushing again.
"I can see the head Teddy. Keep going, you're doing great." My mom says.
"Come on Teddy, you can do it. You're doing great." Spence says.
"Shut. Up." Then I collapse back down on the bed.
"Don't take it personally, Spencer. She's in a lot of pain."
"I understand."
"Teddy, Hope wants to know how you're doing." Ivy says.
"Horrible. I'm in a whole hell of a lot of pain, and it feels like I'm dying." I reply.
"Just tell them the baby will be here soon. Because it will be." My mom says.
"Okay." Ivy says leaving.
"Ready again Teddy?"
"I don't have a choice. So sure."
"Okay. Ready Spencer?"
"Yeah."
"Okay Teddy, push." Then I push again.
"You're doing so good Teddy. The baby is almost here."
"You're going great babe."
"How much longer?" I ask as I collapse onto the bed again.
"If you give this one the best you can do, it'll most likely be the last one."
"Okay."
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
"Teddy, Spencer, get ready."
"We're ready." Spence says.
"Push Teddy." Then I give it the best I've got, and after I'm done, I feel all the pressure leave me. And all the pain stopped.
DOWNSTAIRS- IVY POV-
After that scream, it felt like everything stopped. And I heard baby cries. I just smiled, knowing she's done. Then I get out my phone and call an ambulance to have them come pick the baby and Teddy up.
When I end the call, the kids all look at me.
"Is the baby here yet?" Liv asks.
"Yes. The baby is here." Then all the kids smile.
"Where is the mother?" A paramedic says when he gets in the house.
"Upstairs." I say.
UPSTAIRS- TEDDY POV-
When I was holding my baby, a paramedic comes upstairs and into the bedroom.
"Mom, did you?" I ask.
"No. I've been a little preoccupied at the moment."
"Spence?"
"No."
"Let's get you to the hospital." The paramedic says, then after I'm in the ambulance with Spencer, we start going to the hospital.
AT HOSPITAL- TEDDY POV-
"Well Mrs. Walsh, you're lucky your mom was there. She must have known what to do. The baby is very healthy. And so are you." The doctor says coming back into the room.
"Good." I say relieved.
"A nurse will bring the baby in when they're done measuring and weighing the baby."
"Okay." I say.
"Teddy you just had a baby, without epidural, in our house."
"My mom helped. So did you. I really owe it all to Ivy though. She texted you, and called mom. So if it wasn't for her, I could've had a baby by myself."
"Hey T. The kids and I are all excited to know what gender the baby is, and what name you picked."
"The nurse is bringing the baby in soon." I say.
"Okay." Ivy says.
First, there was some romance drama and happiness. So I hope it was good.
Second, Beau's back!
Third, THE BABY IS FINALLY HERE!
Fourth, I am so very sorry... But I'm revealing the gender and name in the NEXT chapter! I'm so evil.
Fifth, I'm amazing.
Sixth, so amazing that I'm just too cool for school. (No, I'm most likely NOT staying home, unless I keep getting more sick)
Seventh, REVIEW for the sick but amazing Bubbly?
