Bella's POV

I've been on maternity for a week now since my due date was a week ago. But baby Lacy seems to have no plans of arrival. I'm driving Quil crazy with my need to nest. The house is spotless, the garden is perfect and Lacy's room is setup with everything washed and put away. He wants me to relax but I have a very hard time doing so, to the point he sent Jacob over to baby sit me today.

"I just want to check on the garden Jacob." I tell him as he tries to persuade me to watch a movie with him.

"Honey Quil is worried about you and he's going to kill me if you don't relax. The garden is fine, I saw it yesterday. You've done everything that could possibly be done. Please just sit with me and watch this stupid girl movie." I laugh but tell him no I don't feel like sitting and watching a movie.

"Let's go on a walk." I tell him and leave the house before he can stop me. "Walking is supposed to help induce labor."

"So is sex." Jacob tells me and I ask him with a completely serious face if he wants to have sex with me just to watch him freak out. "Are you trying to get me killed?" He asks and I just laugh and tell him maybe. We walk around the block and when we get back to the house I am exhausted so I tell Jacob he can stay or not but I'm going to sleep.

I wake up 3 hours later to what I assume is a contraction. At least I hope so because it freaking hurts! I lay there waiting and 5 minutes later same horrible pain and 5 minutes later the same. I don't remember when you are supposed to freak out and go to the hospital. I get up slowly and my water breaks all over the floor and I'm sure it's time to freak out now!

"Jacob!" I yell hoping he stayed, Quil isn't supposed to be home for an hour or two. Jacob comes running in and I tell him we need to go to the hospital now. He drives and I call Quil to let him know we are on the way there.

He gets there a few minutes after we do, tells Jacob thank you and then we follow the nurse to our room. Once everything is a bit more settled he calls my dad and his mom. He calls my mom too but since she lives 10 hours away it's more to be nice than necessity. His mom is going to be in the room and my dad wanted to be in the waiting room with Jacob.

A nurse comes in and says it could be quick or it could take a few hours and asks if I want an epidural. The pain sucks but I say no, I want it to be all natural; it's safer for the baby.

3 hours later I start to reconsider but I stick to all natural even though Quil is begging me to take the drugs.

"Please babe, I hate you being in this pain. The nurse says it's safe. Please take the drugs."

"No! Leave me alone about it!" I yell at him and he sighs.

Finally after what seems like days the doctor comes in and tells me something is wrong, I'm not progressing like I should be, I need a C-section. I burst into tears and Quil is asking all the questions like the good husband and soon to be daddy.

45 minutes later Lacy Melissa Attera is born, cleaned up and handed to Quil while I am being closed up, crying the whole time. I feel like a complete failure as a mother.

After I'm done being a surgical patient they take me back to my room and put my bed into sitting position and Quil hands me our daughter. She's beautiful and all the sadness I felt just a few minutes earlier disappears as I tell my daughter how perfect she is and how much I love her.

"She looks like you Bells, just like I hoped she would." Quil tells me quietly. "She's beautiful; I didn't think I would love her this much."

"Me either. She's perfect."

We have a daughter.

After I hold her for a few minutes he takes her from me and she looks she's so tiny against him and it's so adorable how he looks at her and cuddles her and I start crying.

"Are you OK Bells?" he asks concerned and I tell him yes just overwhelmed with how perfect everything is. He smiles and says everything is pretty perfect.

After we spend time alone with Lacy his mom comes back in with Dad and Jake. They don't stay long though because as much as I want to stay awake, I'm exhausted.

"Sleep babe." Quil tells me as he runs his fingers through my hair knowing it relaxes me.

"But Lacy," I try to protest.

"I got her, we'll be right here when you wake up." He tells me as I drift off.
