Chapter Thirty Seven
Lindsey screamed, "JJJOOOOEEE!" She crushed his hand. Joe yelped, "God woman" he tried to pry his hand out of her grasp, "AGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Lindsey pushed. The baby was coming, it had been 4 hours of agonizing pain, Jason had forced Sandy out of the room to see the birth of her grandaughter.
"Okay Lindsey, She's almost here, push again" The red haired doctor said, she was older but kind. Doctor Maria Hebron, "HOOWW MUCH LONGER!" Lindsey shouted. "Not long, push again and she's here".
Lindsey had an adrenaline rush, she was just under one week early so that wouldn't make much difference (only 3 days). She pushed as hard as she could, pain searing up her legs. She heard Joe gasp and rush around to the front.
A babies shrill cry rang out, Maria held up a pinkish looking baby. Lindsey gasped and slowly lowered her aching legs, the pain fading. "Do you want to hold her?" Maria grinned, Lindsey nodded. She would never forget the feeling of her daughter being gently passed into her arms.
"Hello Amelia" Lindsey stroked her cheek softly, Amelia made little cries as she gulped in her first breaths. Joe was filling out the birth certificate.
.Roscoe, the 8th person to live in the house. "Do you want to hold your daughter?" Lindsey offered to Joe who jumped to her side. Joe softly rocked Amelia, "What should we call her for short? Amy, Lia?" "Whatever seems Right Joe" Lindsey watched as Joe took their daughter outside.
She smiled as She heard the gasps.
Joe had one arm wrapped around Lindsey as be watched Jason hold Amelia, The whole family was grinning. Amelia was snuck onto Jason's ward in case they wouldn't allow her in.
"She has your nose Lindsey...And she has Joe's lips" "Jase, she's two days old, how can you tell?" Sandy snorted. "I just can, Do you want her back?" Joe gently picked her up.
Jason had become slightly worse, he had dark circles under his eyes and could hardly walk around the hospital or room. Sandy had grown increasingly worried and took the occasional glass of wine or champagne.
Freddie had kept the garage ready, Ziggy was still all Allie/Jason/Mum circle and only worked 4 days a week. Joe was having 3 months off so Ziggy would have to work full time.
Sandy was relived. With the garage in good business, Lindsey's money and her money they were well off after Jack paying off their debts.
Hollie had come back from Majorca after her month holiday, Jason told her not to visit and...dumped her. Hollie took it well, understanding he didn't want her to see him like this.
Sandy had called Mr Blake at college so Jason could do his Coursework online. "I can't wait to get outta here" Jason lent back, "You've got a month on medication and then we'll see how we go" Sandy gave him THE look.
"I know, But at least I don't need a transplant, I can get drunk" Sandy looked at Jason. "Not that I want to" Jason looked away as Robbie snorted.
"I'm getting a Mocha, what 'bout you?" She grabbed her purse. "Mocha too, please" Jason could feel the taste on his tongue already, "Same" "What?" "Please" Robbie rolled his eyes.
The high pitched screams of Amelia woke Lindsey up. Damn. Fifth time. She looked at the clock, 5:30. "Joooee?' she moaned sleepily. "I'm on it, your up next though" Joe stood up and walked over to the cradle.
"Nappy change" She heard him say before drifting back into sleep.
Joe took Amelia down stairs and almost jumped out of his skin when he saw Ziggy there. "Zig? What the frick are ya doing?" "Amelia woke Alan up, he's insisting on juice bruv" Allie nodded and chewed his bottle lid. "No chewing it Kiddo, Drink up".
Ziggy turned, "How you coping?" "3 days in and I'm going mad" "Come on Joe, I did it and look, Allies 3" Ziggy and Joe smirked as Allie innocently sucked his juice bottle.
Laying Amelia on the changing board, Joe began to change her nappy, Lindsey was way more professional at it than him. "Daddy?" Allie tugged Ziggy's arm.
"Yeah little man?" "Wan more juz" "No way, come on, bedtime" "Cawy me?" "Come on midge" Ziggy picked him up. "Look Joe, Think of what I was like before I got Allie, Know I'm only sleeping with 3 girls in a week" "Ziggy" Joe shook his head.
"Yeah well, all I'm saying is you'll be fine" "Hurry up Daddy!" Allie kicked him. "Ow you little...Lets hope Amelias better behaved than this monster" Joe smiled.
Ziggy walked back upstairs with a moaning Allie in tow. If Ziggy could do it, he definitely could.
Jason felt lonely, he missed his bed and family and (dare he say it) mums food. Jason shook his head, what had hospital driven him too?
Maybe he could convince Dr Martins to let him out? Nah, that wouldn't work.
Jason lay on his back, the drip thing in him annoying him...Jason ripped it out. He had the medication in tablets next to the bed, Jason got changed, the tugging pain wasn't as bad as it used to be.
It felt good to be in his own clothes...
"What are you doing?" Lucy walked in, a hand on her hip as she turned on the light. "Going home, I was only in for observation" "What if you collapse?" "999" "Medication?" "Got it and If I run out, Dr Martins will prescribe more".
Jason wavered and sat down, Lucy rushing to his side. "Your unfit!" "I'm okay, Just let Dr Martins know I'm gone".
Lucy knew there was No stopping him, "Okay...Just be careful, I'll have Dr Martins call a taxi and make arrangements, presuming your well enough to go home".
6:30, everyone was up and ready. Sandy was frying cremated bacon, Lindsey was feeding Amelia, Joe was doing garage paperwork. Freddie was in the shower, Robbie was half asleep on the sofa and Ziggy was persuading Allie to eat toast.
The doorbell rang, They all frowned. "Whos that at half six in the morning?" Sandy walked to the door. She opened it and saw an ill looking Jason, in fact, a very ill looking Jason.
"Jason!" she gasped, "Hi mum" He winced. He hadn't been active with this liver thing in a while, Sandy pulled him in.
"Jason?" everyone leapt up. Jason collapsed on the sofa and grabbed Robbies drink. "What are you doing here?" "Signed myself out, tablets...3 times a day for the next month... and every Saturday we have to go for check ups".
Jason relaxed, ignoring the questions fired at him. It was good to be home, Even though he felt like death.
