"Once you feel a contraction, push as hard as you can, like you're on the toilet." Caitlin said. I cringed at the thought of it.
"She's having a contraction right now." Wells said.
I did as Caitlin told me, and pushed as hard as i could. Caitlin was counting up to 10 and at 10 i had to take a breather.
Jesse held my left hand and Barry held my right hand. Cisco had to do everything in his power to no pass out.
"Another one." Harry said.
I pushed again as they told me, the pain was awful and i wish it would just stop.
"You're almost there Amber, hold on just a little bit longer." Barry encouraged me. I looked at him, and nodded. Barry looked proud of me.
The proud look on his face gave me the strength to push the baby out even more.
"Almost there." Harry said softly. He looked at my vagina ... concentrated.
After about 5 more pushes i let out a cry and the baby came out. Harry took the baby in his arms, and the baby cried out.
Caitlin handed him a towel, and Harry cleaned the baby up.
I couldn't quite tell his facial expression at this point. "Hand me the scizors please." Harry said. Caitlin did as he told her and he cut the cord.
He wrapped the baby in a pink towel, and handed the baby over to me.
"It's a girl." he said.
"I have a sister!?" Jesse called out in joy. "I've always wanted a sister!"
Harry left the room, and the others surrounded me and the baby. "She's absolutely beautiful." Barry said.
"Can i...?" Jesse asked. "Ofcourse." i said, as i handed her her baby sister.
"You're so cute." Jesse said as she walked around with her baby sister.
It's been a few hour since my daughter was born, and i still didn't have a name.
"Did you already think of a name?" Jesse wondered as she sat on the edge of the bed.
I shrugged. "How about... Tess?" i wondered. "After your mother?"
Jesse's face lit up. After all she said her mother sent her this baby, which kind of made sense, and the baby being a girl gave me a great opportunity to honour Jesse's mother and Harry's wife.
"I love that idea!" Jesse said.
Harry hasn't said a word since the baby was born, i haven't even seen him.
Baby Tess was resting in the hospital room right next to me. Harry entered the room, and saw the little girl curled up safely and fast asleep.
He hesitated at first, but then approached her and bent over her little crib.
Harry stared at his new baby daughter for a while, a blank expression on his face. "Hey there, little girl." he whispered.
He slowly ran a hand over her tiny but very hairy head.
"You're so beautiful." A small and short smile appeared on his face as he said that. "Just like your mom."
Jesse was about to walk in when she overheard her dad talking to his newborn daughter.
"I'm sorry i wasn't there for you ... but i promise to be a good dad to you, you deserve a good dad." he then carefully took her out of her crib, and walked around the room with her in his arms, humming a song for her.
Jesse looked at her dad, and a smile appeared on her face, she knew her dad would come around.
"You look just like your mommy." he whispered. "But i do hope you have your daddy's brains." he played with his daughters bottom lip and chuckled.
"Maybe that's your ability... to be the smartest person on the planet."
"Dad..." Jesse said. Harry looked up in shock at the sight of his eldest daughter.
It was almost as if he felt ashamed.
"You love her?" she asked. "Ofcourse i do... the moment she was born and i held her safely in my arms i just knew..." he said. "I just knew i wanted to be in her life, i just had to take a moment for myself to process everything."
Jesse smiled. "You have to tell Amber." Harry sighed. "Well... i guess you're right." He stood up, and carefully handed the baby over to Jesse.
"Wish me luck."
"Thank you so much." i said to Cisco, who brought me some food. "Harry." Cisco said. "I... think it's time for me to go, enjoy your meal." Cisco then ran out of the room.
I was surprised to see Harry. "Hey... can we... talk?" he wondered. He looked nervous, it was unlike the Harry i knew.
Harry sat down on the edge of the bed, with his back facing me.
"I..." he started. He turned his face to me. "I really regret not being in my daughters life." he said. "Or at least... not helping you throughout the pregnancy." he said. "It was so stupid i was just so angry and disappointed."
I bit my lower lip. "I know, and i'm sorry for what i did to you."
"When you went through all that, to bring our baby into the world... " he started. "I just... I had to focus myself but... " he shook his head.
" I fell for you. You showed me how strong of a woman you were, giving life to our beautiful daughter."
My heart raced when he told me he fell for me. "Are you sure you're not just confused? " i wondered.
"I'm very aware of my feelings, and it's hard for me to express them at times." He stared at my hand. "I know how i feel. " he placed his hand on mine.
"I want to be there for my daughter... for you." he said. "I want to be a family. "
I swallowed. Was this real or was i dreaming?
I cupped his face, and quickly pulled him closer, into a kiss. He was surprised at my reaction, you could tell by him throwing his hands up and freezing at the touch of our lips.
He then placed his hand on my cheek, and kissed me back.
After the kiss heated up, he slowly pulled away, i hated that feeling. I've been dreaming about his lips on mine for so long now, and i didn't want the kiss to ever end.
"I love you... Amber." he whispered. I swallowed again, and looked right back into his eyes.
"I... " i took his hand. "I love you too... Dr Wells." i said. Harry smiled. "You really need to stop calling me that. "
I giggled as my cheeks turned red. "I love you... Harry."
