Ian had gone back to work after his accident once he was fully healed from surgery and cleared to go back. For days on end Emily just hung around the house in her own, she would go out somewhere but it was getting to that stage in her pregnancy where she was always tired, always had to pee and couldn't stand up for long periods of time.
Going downstairs to get herself some water at 8am one morning she sighed. Just walking down the stairs was exhausting. Since when had pregnancy taken everything out of her?
Getting her water she went to lay down on the couch, sighing as she reached for the TV remote to turn it on.
"Everything ok?" The maid asked. Emily looked distinctly paler than usual and she had never Seen her crash out on the sofa so early; normally when Ian was at work she'd help out with the housework.
"Yeah. I'm just really tired." She responded sighing, changing the channels until she found something atleast bareable to watch.
"Anything I can help with?" She asked, after having become close to Emily over recent months.
"No, not really." She responded. "I'm just going to have a lazy day." She replied, hoping after spending a day watching TV she would atleast have a little more energy.
"Alright. Well just shout if you need anything." She responded, going off to get some of the housework done.
Soon after the contractions started, it just felt like a small tingle at first. Emily rolled over and tried to get comfortable.
They soon got more intense. "Fuck" "Fuck" "Fuck." Emily swore when an excruciating contraction hit her, followed by liquid gushing out of her and pooling around her, slowly absorbing into the sofa. "Oh dear god." She said to no one. Getting herself up off the sofa she took off the sofa covers, not quite sure how to deal with the cushions themselves. Waddling to the utility room she put the covers into the washing machine and slowly put a wash on when another contraction hit. "Fuck! God damn you baby!" She screamed, hoping it would atleast mildly relive the pain she was feeling.
Sitting down onto the floor she atleast hoped she could find some clean dry clothes she could out on. Picking out a pair of panties and a skirt she sighed with relief over being able to take off her soaked pyjama bottoms. Changing into the clean clothes she weight up going to lie down somewhere comfortable until Ian got home or just staying in the utility room. Being hit With an other overwhelmingly excruciating contraction she decided to stay put.
Looking at the time on the clock she sighed, was it only 3pm? Ian wouldn't be back until 7 at the earliest and she knew she didn't have that long.
Not having her phone on her she sighed, why did things like this always happen when she didn't have her phone by her side. Sighing for a minute, screaming once more at a contraction, she hoped the maid would hear her. "Louise!" She called, hoping to get her attention as she was in need of help.
Louise was walking through to the utility room to put the washing out when she heard the scream. "Emily? Everything alright?" She asked, running in to find her sitting on the floor looking incredibly pained.
"The baby's coming." Emily panted before being hit by a contraction. "It's coming now." She managed while trying her best to breath through the pain.
"Do you think we have time to get you to the hospital?" She asked concerned, looking at the way Emily was in right now it may be too late.
"I hope so." Emily responded; she'd never had a baby before, she had not clue as to how long the labour would last.
"Ok well I'll drive you. You can phone Ian in the car."
"I don't have my phone on me." Emily responded sighing
"I'll get it for you." She responded, running through to the living room to pick up Emily's phone and then go back into the utilities room to help her up and into the car.
Phoning Ian Emily really hoped he would answer first time, it could be a bit hit and miss while he was working but since she'd gotten close to her due date she knew he always tried to keep his phone near in case anything happened.
"Emily! Is the baby coming?" He answered, knowing that Emily would only phone him while he was at work if it was something urgent.
"Yes." Emily said pausing for a split second. "OW! Fuck!" Emily screamed when she got a contraction that felt worse than the worst pain she had felt in her life.
"Em! Everything alright, do you want me home?" Ian asked, getting concerned at hearing her scream.
"No. Meet me at the hospital and please hurry otherwise you might miss our baby being born." She responded, knowing now she really didn't have much time left.
"Ok I'll be as fast as I can." SHe responded before hanging up and leaving work to drive to the hospital.
"Louise, how fast can you drive?" Emily asked, getting contractions almost constantly and feeling an uncontrollable need to push.
"I'm going at the speed limit." She responded. "How long do you think you have?" Knowing now the situation was getting urgent and if they didn't get to the hospital soon Emily would give birth In the car.
"Not long" Emily responded, being hit by another contraction and having no other choice but to push. Her scream was deafening.
Louise quickly sped up the car, not caring that she was breaking the speed limit. It was more important to get Emily and the baby there safe. "Em? You alright?"
"No I am not alright!" Emily shouted, she didn't want to be angry but she was in so much pain she couldn't really help it. "I felt it move when I pushed. " she replied, worried that they wouldn't make it to the hospital on time.
"Oh. We're about 15 minutes away. Try not to push again until then. Ok?"
"I can't just not push." She responded, trying to keep her scream to herself when being hit by the next contraction and pushing down hard. "I don't think I can make it to the hospital. I feel him."
"Him?" Louise responded, looking slightly concerned and pulling over so Emily could have the baby.
"It's just a feeling." Emily replied Taking off her panties and getting herself onto all fours in the back, it being her preferred birthing position. "Can you come back and help?" Emily asked, pushing once more so that his head was out.
"Sure." Louise responded, climbing over into the back and kneeling beside Emily. "Heads out so you shouldn't have too many more pushes to go." She reassured. "But pushing the shoulders out may be the hardest part."
Emily groaned, trying to catch her breath for a second before she had another contraction. Unfortunately the break didn't last long and she was soon pushing again. Giving a hard push, hoping to get the shoulders out in one push she screamed and swore. Why did birth have to be painful? Part of her wished she'd got an abortion when she found out.
"Ok almost there now Emily. Take a few moments to breath before the next contraction hits and try to breath through them if you can. It should help." Louise responded.
Not long after Emily had finally managed to give birth to the baby, a boy as she thought. Hi, crying was a good sign that everything was ok despite being born in a car. "Emily are you ok?" Louise asked.
"Yeah. I'm good. Can we go to the hospital still. Ian's there and I want to make sure my boy's ok."
"Sure. You should probably get checked out too." Louise responded, getting back in the front to drive the rest of the way.
At the hospital the baby and Emily were both fine, but they wanted to keep Emily overnight just to let her recover after the birth.
"He's gorgeous" Ian said, holding his baby and jiggling him up and down.
"Yes he is." Emily responded yawning.
"What shall we call him?" Ian asked.
"Draco." Emily responded with a smirk to her face, just wanting to see how he would respond.
"Emily!" He exclaimed. "The poor kid will get bullied with a name like that."
"Ok how about Harry?" She said more seriously.
"Alright. Can Declan be his middle name? It was my dads name.
"Sure." She replied, yawning once more.
"Are you tired em?"
"Very."
"Get some sleep then. I'm here if you need help."
"Thanks." She replied before laying down and getting comfy. Slowly drifting off to sleep.
