Chapter 11

After Vanessa was checked into her room they were listening to the baby's heartbeat and all four were just sitting there. Ted was sitting behind Vanessa while she was sitting up in bed and he was massaging her back and it seemed to be helping through each contraction right now.

It was about 20 minutes after they arrived that Dr. Pike was walking into the delivery room to see how things were going. She wasn't at all surprised to see everyone there. As in Vanessa's birthing plan that she along with Dani had drawn up that everyone that included Randy, Ted, Dani and Vanessa.

"Hi Vanessa and everyone else. I wasn't expecting to see you till next week." Dr. Pike stated.

"I know my water broke. And the contractions hurt." Vanessa said while she leaned back into Ted who just wrapped his arms around her and held her for the time being.

"I can understand the contractions. Yes they do hurt. Do you still want to get your epidural?" Dr Pike asked.

"Yes" Ted and Randy answered.

"I was asking Vanessa boys." Dr Pike stated.

"Well she is squeezing the living hell out of my hand." Randy whined.

"My leg." Ted whined as Vanessa was gripping the life out of Randy's hand and Ted's left leg as a contraction was coming on strong and Dani was sitting in front of Vanessa helping her keep calm and helping her breathe.

"I can see that." Dr Pike stated. "Let me check you Vanessa. Do you want Randy to stay in the room with you while I check your cervix?"

"I can step into the hall. I need to make some phone calls anyways." Randy spoke up before anyone could answer that question.

Ted stood up and laid the head of Vanessa's bed down and held her hand while Dr Pike checked the progress if any had been made. "It hurts." Vanessa said

"I know honey and I am sorry it will be tender till you can get your epidural in place. You are now dilated to a 4 and 80% effaced. I have the doctor on standby he is in the hall now." Dr Pike stated. "Do you want it put in place now?"

"Yes please they hurt bad." Vanessa said with a wobbly voice as tears threatened to fall down her face.

Dr Pike left the room to get not only Randy but the doctor who was going to put the epidural in place and a nurse. Ted pressed a kiss to Vanessa's forehead and stepped out to call his parents as well as Evan. He let Randy take his place while the epidural was being put in as he would get sick at the sight of any needles longer than the ones used for IV's or stitches. When they were going through the birthing class he passed out when he saw the length of the needle that would go in his wife's back.

"Okay Vanessa I want you to roll over to your side and face Randy while I clean your back and try your hardest to roll into a ball okay." Dr Young stated as he gowned up and then put his gloves on. "You will feel me touching your back. I will tell you everything I do before I do anything Vanessa."

"Okay" Vanessa answered.

"I am now going to clean your back. It will be really cold." Dr Young stated. "Is this your first baby?"

"Yes it's the first baby." Dani answered as Vanessa was trying to keep her mind off of it and was talking to Randy and didn't hear the doctor ask the question.

"Okay. Vanessa you will feel a pinch. As I place the needle in your back Randy keep her still please." the doctor said.

Randy placed his free hand on Vanessa's shoulder and started to rub it as Vanessa was crying as she hated needles as well. "It hurts Randy."

"I know it does Nessa. Just keep still and here soon it will be all over." Randy said.

"Easy for you to say you don't have a needle going into your back Randal Keith Orton." Vanessa snapped.

Randy chose the wrong moment to laugh. Yes he didn't have a needle going in his back but he does have a lot of tattoo's. Both Vanessa and Dani smacked him when he laughed. "What the hell?"

"I'm in pain here with your daughter still inside me and you laugh? I so hate you right now Orton." Vanessa snapped again.

"I agree with Nessa honey sorry." Dani stated.

"I love you too Dani." Randy said with a smile on his face.

"I love you too but it was wrong to laugh." Dani said. and leaned over to kiss Randy on the lips. The doctor doing the epidural just looked at the three people in the room with a confused look.

Randy laughed again and moved out of the way before either girl could smack him. "I am dating Dani here and Nessa is having my baby."
