Eliza POV
Well it was September and I was one week overdue and very miserable! I was so big I couldn't move, my stomach hurt all the time and I just wanted to cry constantly. Jett had taken his paternity leave from the garage just incase I went into labour and he wasn't here. I was laying in bed while he rubbed my stomach, when I started crying.
"Oh don't cry honey please" he said but I couldn't stop them.
"This baby's so stubborn" I moaned and he chuckled and kissed my belly.
"Come on little guy, it's time to meet your moma and daddy. We love you so much and everything's ready for you to come. I know you've got yourself all warm and cosy in there but I promise you it's much better out here so come on. It's time to make your grand entrance" we both sat and stared at my belly after he'd spoken to it... Nope nothing.
"I don't think he's going to listen to you" I said and jett chuckled.
"The first of many love" I smiled and jett carried on rubbing my stomach. I was due in for a sweep later on this afternoon at the hospital, hopefully that would get the ball rolling slightly. I eventually fell asleep and was woken when jett moved off the bed.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Dad just text. Asked me to phase, I'll only go onto the front lawn ok?" I nodded sleepily.
"Sure go" I said and yawned.
Jett POV
I went outside and phased out. Instantly the pack where in my mind.
Yes?.
What's up jake.
Hello everyone.
Dad?
Hi everyone thanks for phasing. I just wanted to let everybody know that the cullens will be returning next week, I'm not sure how long for but I always let you guys know when there's going to be vampire scents around.
Thanks jake. were sent out throughout the pack
Isn't grampa back? I asked.
Yeah but everyone's coming back now. They want to meet the new kids.
If mine ever makes his appearance. And asif on que I heard Eliza shout of me from inside the house.
Let me know jett. Dad called as I phased back and ran inside the house.
Eliza POV
While jett was outside with the pack I sat up in bed and sighed. God I hate being so big, I can't wait for my body back. I managed to get off the bed and was walking to the bathroom when a sharp pain crossed my lower stomach. I flinched and put my hands on my stomach. That didn't feel normal. I stood back up and took a deep breath and went to the bathroom but as I stood up to wash my hands the pain was back and was a little stronger not by much but it was. I clutched the skin.
"Jett!" I called out. Taking deep breaths, to try and calm myself I walked back into the bedroom and sat down on the bed when jett ran into the room.
"What is it?" He asked. Gee must of forgot he was naked.
"Honey I think I'm in labour. We need to go to the hospital" his eyes widened and he ran around the room gathering things we didn't need.
"Here" he said handing me the laptop.
"Why would I need this?" I said remaining calm.
"I don't know" he said and I put it on the bed next to me, eventually he found my hospital bag and helped me up as we walked to the bedroom door i stopped.
"Honey you forgot clothes" he looked down and ran back into the bedroom as another contraction hit. I dug my nails into the doorframe as I worked through it.
"Oh god are you ok?" He must of noticed my slight pain.
"Do I look ok?" I barked. He sighed and came back over to me dressed and helped me into the car.
"Just breath honey"
"If I didn't I die" I chimed in rubbing my stomach as it pained.
"How far apart are they?" I asked.
"Around four minutes I'd say" he told me and I sobbed slightly. Wow this hurt. On the way to the hospital jett called Nessie and Jacob to say I'd gone into labour and to come to the hospital, he also called my mother and brother. When we got up to the maternity suit my contractions were three minutes apart and hurt like a bitch.
"Hi my fiancé is in labour" the nurse looked at me, as I put my hands on my knees and breathed through the pain and jett rubbed my lower back.
"Room two" she said in a horrible nasally voice. Jett helped me in, a women told me to take off my pants and put the blanket over my legs. I did so and a nurse came into examine me.
"Oh honey your a while off yet. You can go home" she told me and my eyes widened.
"A while off? My contractions are three minutes apart! I'm in a lot of pain I literally feel like I'm dying so don't tell me I'm a fucking while off this baby is coming" I yelled and jett looked at the women apologetically.
"I'm sorry" he said and she chuckled.
"Don't worry about it hon. I've seen worse. Ok let me get you some gas and air for now ok" I nodded and as soon as she gave me it was sucking it in like I needed it to survive. Nessie and Jacob arrived soon after I was examined and apparently it was just a waiting game now but nobody could feel this pain!
"Oh my god I'm going to push!" I yelled. Jett came over to me trying to calm me telling me once again I was 'a while off' I gripped his shirt and pulled him close to me.
"Get me a damn nurse now! This is all your fault anyways" I yelled and released him. Jacob was chuckling lightly in the corner and Nessie was rubbing my other hand. A nurse came in to examine me again as another contraction hit.
"Oh I'm going to push! I don't care anymore my baby wants out!" I yelled the nurse attached a heart beat monitor around my stomach.
"I want to monitor the baby's heart best on your next contraction, just do what your body tells you too. Ok"
"Wait what's wrong?" I asked panicking.
"Hopefully nothing but let's just try this shall we" I nodded and on my next contraction my body was trying to push so I did, the heart beat was loud in the room until my contraction and then it dipped.
"What is happening" I cried
"Honey I think the baby is a little distressed and I also think he's having trouble in the birth cannel"
"Well what does that mean?"
"Well it means we are more than likely going to have to take you down to surgery and preform a episiotomy it is a surgical cut to your perineum, which is the muscular area between your vagina and back passage" this freaked me out but I nodded.
"Just do it! Get him out" I said as another contraction hit.
"Please just help him" I said sobbing. Jett was kissing my head over and over again.
"Sir? Do you wish to come with her?"
"I can?"
"Of course you can" he nodded.
"Absolutely" he said goodbye to Nessie and jake and we headed to surgery.
"Okay miss wood. First I need to give you some pain medication as it would take too long for an epidural to work I'm going to give you a spinal it is a single painkilling injection that gets to work faster than an epidural. It's a regional anaesthetic, which means that it can numb a large area of your body. It is injected by the anaesthetist through the small of your back, into the fluid surrounding the spinal nerves, using a very fine needle. You will more than likely be numbed from your breasts down" I nodded again as jett changed into his scrubs I was giving the injection in my back and then helped to lay down. When another contraction came I was advised not to push.
"I can't help it. It's my body" I said crying. Jett came into the room and held my hand as they began the procedure. I really didn't feel anything. It was a little harder to give birth when I could feel anything but they use forceps to help him out and finally he was here. the doctor held him up for us to see before cleaning him off and checking his airways. The midwife came over and laid him down on my chest.
"Hey baby boy" I said and kissed his head. Jett was crying next to us.
"Your going to have to take him mr black while we fix her up. Feel free to take her back to the maternity suite, we shall be up in no longer than ten minutes. Jett picked up our son and kissed my head before leaving, it actually pained to watch them both leave.
Jett POV
As I walked back up to the maternity suite with my son I felt like I was in another universe.
"I'm your daddy, yes I am" I said as we walked. His eyes were everywhere trying to take everything in. He was smacking his little lips obviously looking for some food.
"Moma will be here soon. Your moma is a very brave women. And we love her a lot" I told him as i reached our room. I pushed the door open and walked in mom was grinning from ear to ear as was dad.
"Guys, meet your grandson" he was so beautiful, thin little black hair. He had Eliza's eyes and nose, my lips and my shaped face and his skin was a lighter lighter than mine but not by much.
"Oh baby he's Gorgeous" mom said.
"He really is son. How's Eliza?" I nodded.
"She's good I think. There just stitching her up and then she'll be back down here" I sat down on the bed with my son and he got a little fussy in my arms.
"Oh I know buddy I bet your starving. Don't worry not long now" I patted his Butt to calm him down and rocked him slightly.
"We'll go. Leave you and Eliza too it. Call us later and we'll drop by I'm sure your sisters want to meet him" I nodded and smiled.
"Thanks. Both of you it means a lot" they both left and not long after Eliza came back from surgery. Our baby got weighed at six pound eight ounces. They did all there tests on him and he came back healthy. We changed him into a little blue baby grow and Eliza pumped some milk.
"Wow you look a little odd with that on" I said as I watched her from the other side of the room holding our son.
"Shut up" she said smiling. She looked good for someone who had just been sliced open, especially down there. After she'd pumped the milk we filled some bottles and she fed our son for the first time.
"Were going to have to decide on the name. Cole or Braydon?" I said and she shrugged.
"I use to love Braydon growing up but lately I'm leaning more towards cole" I grinned.
"Cole it is then" I ran my hand over his soft little hair.
"Hi cole" he didn't move he was still enjoying his first meal too much to care. Eliza's phone was ringing in her bag across the room so I went and got it.
"Hello?"
'Oh jett! How is she?'
"Oh hello Joanna" I said emphasising on Joanna so Eliza knew who it was.
"She's fine. They both are. There were a few complications but the doctors and nurses were fantastic and there both here with me now in one piece"
'Oh my god that's fantastic, so who do we have?'
"We have cole"
'Oh I loved that one. Okay how long are you guys going to be at the hospital for?'
"Well because of the complications, Eliza has to stay in for twelve hours after the birth and it's been around two hours now so we'll be able to leave around ten tonight"
'Are you guys too tired for visitors?'
"Absolutely not. Especially when it's grandmas" she laughed.
'Okay, well I'll just pick Scott up from college and we'll be straight there. Congratulations daddy'
"Thanks nana!" And then I hung up.
"Your mom and brother are coming" she nodded and sat cole and started rubbing his back.
"Come on baby boy, give moma your wind" and just like that he let out a burb.
"Aw that's a good boy, momas little angel aren't you" I smiled at the sight. This room held the most important people in the world to me. I would protect them both with my life. Cole fell asleep so we rested him in his hospital crib for now and Eliza leaned back in bed. When the nurse came around.
"How's mom and baby doing?"
"He's doing fantastic, had his first feed and now he's out like a light. And I'm starting to get feeling back i think because my butt feels really tingly" the nurse giggled and nodded.
"Yeah that's usually how it starts. Okay I'll just talk you through it all now since your In a better frame of mind" I nodded and jett sat on the chair next to my bed and Coles crib.
"Once you are up on your feet again I advice you to check your maternity pad for bleeding, it's very normal so don't be alarmed however if it more than you would experience on a normal period, please Inform one of us before you leave. Once your home again I advice you to Change your maternity pad frequently. Wash your hands before and after changing it, and have a bath or shower at least daily. This helps to reduce your risk of getting an infection in your wound. If your stitches are painful try Placing a cooled gel pad or ice-pack on your stitches. Wrap it in a clean towel to avoid ice burn. The ice will numb the area and prevent or reduce swelling. Don't leave the ice pack on for more than 15 minutes, though you can use it every one hour or two hours. Having a warm bath helps too. You don't need to put salt in the water, as there's no evidence that this helps wounds to heal. Pat your stitches dry with a clean, soft towel. Try to expose your stitches to the air. Take your panties off and rest on your bed with an old towel underneath you for 10 or so minutes, once or twice a day.
Walk around as much as possible, and practise your pelvic floor exercises. This will stimulate blood circulation in the area and may speed up the healing process.
Take pain medication regularly to begin with, rather than wait until the pain builds up. But don't exceed the recommended daily dose. You should be well on the way to healing within 10 days, and your stitches shouldn't take more than a month to heal. Let your midwife know at the first sign of infection, such as a bad smell from your wound, or problems when you pass water. If you're not sure that your stitches are healing properly ask your midwife or GP to take a proper look. If you're still concerned by the time of your six week check-up, ask her to look at your perineum then. And finally Once your stitches have healed, it's fine to have sex, if both you and your partner feel like it. When you first make love after an episiotomy, you may feel some initial tenderness and tightness, but the pain will lessen in time. Relaxing as much as possible and using a water-based lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly, will help you to feel more comfortable. Try taking a warm bath beforehand, and leave plenty of time for foreplay. You may prefer to be on top so that you can control the degree of penetration, or you may be more comfortable lying on your side, but that's just what I've heard from other women" I nodded taking all this new information in.
"I have booklets for you to keep just incase you forget all that too" Eliza nodded.
"Do we have a name for this little guy?"
"Cole" the nurse smiled.
"Oh that's lovely. Well I'll be taking cole for his vitamin R injections shortly, but those will only take a few moments. We tend to step out of the room to do it as sometimes It can upset the mother"
"Thanks" Eliza said smiling. And then she left.
"Did you get all that?" She asked me and I nodded slowly.
"Geez baby it's gota hurt right?" She shrugged shrugged.
"To be honest I can't feel it that much, when I shift slightly I can. I'm just dreading walking" i laughed lightly and we spent the next hour or so chatting before elizas mother and brother arrived.
"Hello" Joanna said popping her head around the door.
"Come in" I said and she and Scott came in.
"Oh let me see" Joanna said rushing around the bed. Cole squirmed slightly in his sleep, he must of been reacting to the noise change.
"Well done sis! Tell me did it hurt?" Scott asked.
"Before I got my whole body numbed hell yeah!" He looked confused but carried on.
"And now?"
"I couldn't tell you! I still can't feel very much" Joanna was now holding cole. He was squirming slightly but not enough that she needed to put him down. My theory was he recognised mine and Eliza's voices the most, because they says a baby can hear outside the womb. Also I'm she's his mother and mothers and there children always have a bond and he'll love the body heat off me.
"So tell me what happened?" Joanna asked taking a seat on the chair in the room. So Eliza went through the whole ordeal and everything that happened.
"Oh my gosh! Well at least your both okay. And he's beautiful, a real credit to you both"
"Look at mom! She's going to hog him every chance she gets" Scott said and we both laughed.
"Well it's not everyday you get a grandchild" and then she glared at Scott.
"Don't even think about it" he smiled innocently and we all chuckled, even Joanna. They didn't stay for long, they'd be able to meet him properly once we got home but they had to see him today, as did my sisters.
Annalee POV
I was driving to the hospital after mom told me that my nephew had been born. Embry was in the passenger seat as I drove. I was due in just over a month and pretty much loving my pregnancy, my bump was small and cute. We obviously couldn't tell what the sex was but I was hoping for a girl, I would be able to dress her up in little frilly dresses and everything. I hadn't really gotten morning sickness as bad as Eliza did. I couldn't drink blood but the baby was liking pasta and chicken so I was living off that, oh and crackers. The baby also had a thing for crackers. Carlisle had arrived a few weeks after we'd told him I was pregnant with Esme and did me an ultra sound. By the time Carlisle came though I was even starting to show a little. I'd had my baby shower and received everything I needed, so we were just waiting on the arrival now.
"Did I ever mention to you how much I hate your car?" Embry said pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked over at him and he was all scrunched up in the seat, his knees almost touching his chin! I had to laugh.
"Once or twice yes you have"
"Seriously! This is such a girly car. You need a bigger one"
"No I don't" I bit back "I like this car and it does me just fine"
"What about when the baby comes? Getting a car seat in and out and a stroller in the trunk"
"There's more than enough room"
"How do you know?"
"Because me and nina tried It out the other week after my baby shower" I said smiling. He smirked and shook his head.
"I should of driven"
"Why?"
"Because then we would of taken my car"
"Then why didn't you say that when I offered to drive?"
"I didn't think it then"
"Well tough luck! Now shut up were almost there" he laughed lightly as I drove down the road and pulled into the hospital car park. We got out and embry made sure I was well wrapped up before walking towards the doors, he'd been fussing a lot! We look the elevator up to the floor, not sure I could back the stairs, I was getting tired real easy now. Once we were on the right level, we headed towards the maternity suite.
"Hi I'm Eliza Scott's family" I said Into the intercom. Embry gave a me a look.
"What I may as well be. Plus my nephews here now so we are family" he nodded and we were buzzed in. We asked where Eliza's room was and we headed inside.
"Hello" I said, I saw Eliza laying in bed looking tired and jett feeding the baby.
"Oh hey" she said sleepily and sitting up slightly and flinching.
"How you doing hon?"
"Pain, pain and more pain" I sighed and sat down next to her bed.
"Haven't they gave you anything?" She nodded.
"Before the operation I got a Spinal, which numbed everything for around 5hours but now it's wore off. Jesus Christ I can feel everything!" I smiled softly and squeezed her hand.
"Okay let me see him then" I got up off the chair and went over to jett who was now winding the baby.
"Oh he's so beautiful! Have you decided on the name?"
"Yeah, cole meet your aunt annalee" he moved him into my arms supporting his head and I rocked him gently.
"Oh hey cole" it was easier holding him with a bump, than it was holding Anna when she was born because I could lean my arms on top of my bump better.
"He's so cute. Congratulations you two" embry said and I smiled. He was grinning back at me, obviously at the sight. Soon this would be us, wow. Nina arrived with mom and dad soon after we had arrived too.
"Ooh he's so cute! I love him" nina said as she held him too.
"Give him to me he wants a cuddle from his nana, don't you my beautiful boy" mom said. We all laughed it was so odd listening to her call herself nana, she barely looks older than twenty five. After we'd all spent some bonding time with cole, we all left leaving them to rest. Poor Eliza looked exhausted and I didn't blame her she could barely keep her eyes open when we were all there. They could leave in a couple ours anyway, and we'd see them once they were home so it was okay.
Baby black has arrived! It was a little dramatic but baby cole is here in one piece, healthy and beautiful. Please review and let me know what you all think. Check out the twitter too - FFYfanfiction
see you soon
