Christian's POV
I rush around the house. I put the bags in the car. I call my mom to come over to stay with Carson. We call all the family. Ana changes into dry clothes and I change into more appropriate clothes. I call the hospital to let them know we're on our way. I ask Ana if she wants anything to eat before we head to the hospital and she tells me it's too early for her to eat, her stomach isn't awake.
We decided not to wake Carson up. Odds are it's going to be awhile until Ana can even start pushing and Carson is impatient. If we told him Ana was in labor, he'd expect the baby as soon as we got there. My mom is going to bring him up to the hospital instead of taking him to school. Ana and I figured he could skip so he could meet his baby sister.
Ana's contractions are fifteen minutes apart. She's decided that she wants an all natural birth, drug free. I told her that I agree with whatever she chooses even if she changes her mind. Elena was doped up when Carson was born. I honestly don't know how she could push. She couldn't breast feed him since she had so many drugs in her system. Ana doesn't want to risk anything happening to Emma.
An hour later, we're set up in the hospital. Ana is three centimeters dilated. There's a fetal heart monitor strapped to her stomach, an iv in her hand and she's wearing a hospital gown. The nurse recommended for Ana to walk around but Ana says she needs to sleep. I nap with her and we wake up at nine am. The doctor says Ana is only five centimeters dilated. They check the baby's heart rate and Ana's blood pressure. Everything is good. The doctors say that once she hits six centimeters, things should quicken up.
It's now currently three pm. Ana hasn't progressed at all. We're stuck at a standstill. Our doctor comes in and looks at the baby's heart rate and frowns. She checks Ana's blood pressure and dilation. She sighs and runs a hand over her face.
" Ok, so the baby's heart rate is declining. Ana, you're blood pressure is higher than I'd like it to be and you're just not dilating. I'm giving it half an hour. If nothing improves, I'm going to prep you for the OR. We have to get the baby out or we risk stillbirth.", the doctor warns us. Ana and I look at each other. Tears fall from her eyes. I kiss her forehead and nod at the doctor. She leaves to give us privacy. The next half hour passes slowly. The doctor comes in and looks over everything. She gives us a sad, apologetic look and shakes her head.
" The baby's heart rate hasn't improved and you're blood pressure has spiked. I'm going to send down a couple nurses to get you prepped. Christian, you need to get into some scrubs. What's going to happen is, you will be given an epidural and local anesthetic. That will numb your abdomen. You'll feel slight pressure. The whole operation should only take about forty five minutes max. I'm going to go get those nurses. They'll give you scrubs Christian.", she leaves and I look at Ana. She's crying. I wipe away her tears.
I tell her how much I love her and that in less than an hour we'll have our daughter. The nurses come in and hand me the scrubs. They take Ana to pre-op as I change into the scrubs. I meet them down there and they've already given her the epidural. They'll administer the anesthetic in the operating room. We're inside the operating room in ten minutes. There's a curtain so Ana can't see what's going on. I'm able to look around it. They sterilize Ana's abdomen and give her the anesthetic. They ask if she can feel them touching around where she'll get her incision and she tells them no. I look into Ana's eyes the whole time. The doctor warns Ana about feeling a lot of pressure. She gasps a little. I look quickly on the other side of the curtain and our baby is halfway out. They're unwrapping her cord from her neck. I look back to Ana and kiss her lightly, telling her beautiful out baby is. Suddenly the room is filled with a piercing wail. My daughter.
They call me over and let me cut her cord. Tears fall down my face. They quickly clean her off and hand her to me. I take her over to see Ana. Ana smiles brightly and kisses Emma's cheek. The nurse takes the baby from me to do all her tests and measure her length and weight. They quickly finish up with Ana and we're sent to recovery. There, the nurse enters with our little girl. They cleaned her up a little bit and put a diaper on her.
" This little princess was twenty inches long and weighed eight pounds twelve ounces.", the nurse hands her to Ana. Emma is swaddled in the standard newborn blanket and has a tiny white cap on her head. Ana and I peek under and see that our daughter is completely bald. Though due to her being a c-section baby, her head is normal shaped. The nurse notices us looking and winks at us.
" C-section babies are always cuter. Plus, she won't be hungry for a little while. Vaginally delivered babies are often hungry earlier than C-section babies. Congratulations, you two have a beautiful daughter.", She waves as she exits the room. They move us to a suite. About twenty minutes later, there's a knock on the door. Carson peeks his head in. We smile brightly at him. He walks in nervously. I pick him up and put him on the edge of the bed. He stares at Emma in Ana's arms. We anxiously wait for him to say something. He jumps off the bed and runs out of the room. Ana and I are both shocked and worried. We look at each other, down at Emma and then towards the door. What just happened?
