I got a request for Hailey to give birth to their first kid.
Hailey's due date was in 3 weeks and she was on maternity leave. She was waiting for Jay to get home when she started cramping. She thought nothing of it. Jay got home and her cramps got worse.
"Hey babe are you ok?," Jay asked
"Yeah just Braxton hicks" Hailey replied.
They sat on the couch for an hour watching tv. Jay knew Hailey was in pain so we were alternating between foot and back massages trying to keep her as comfortable as possible. Hailey stood up to go to the bathroom and her water broke.
"Oh my god jay my water just broke," Hailey said shocked.
"Ok let's get to med I'll grab the bag." Jay replied shocked as well.
"It's too ea-ear-early I'm not du-due fo-for-another 3 we-weeks." Hailey replied starting to cry.
"Ssh babe you're going to be ok you're going to be ok you're going to be in good hands at med" Jay soothed
They got in the car and Jay immediately called Will.
J Hey we're on our way now Hailey's water broke. She's freaking out because its 3 weeks before her due date.
W Hey Hailey don't freak out you are considered full term even if it is 3 weeks early everything is ok.
They got to med and Will and Natalie met them.
They got Hailey in a room and Maggie came in and started an IV.
"Ok sweetie I'm going to push some morphine. Do you need anything?" Maggie asked.
"No thank you though" Hailey replied.
Maggie pushed the morphine left. Natalie, Will, Jay, and Hailey talked for a bit until Hailey's contractions started.
"Owww" Hailey cried out.
"Ssh just squeeze my hand as hard as you need to." Jay soothed.
Hailey had a death grip on his hand. 30 minutes later another contraction hit.
"Oww" Hailey cried out.
"Ssh just squeeze my hand I've got you." Jay soothed.
They repeated this process for 2 more hours until her pain got worse.
"It really hurts" Hailey cried out.
"I know I'm sorry," Jay told her.
"Do you want to do an epidural?" Natalie asked.
"No not yet" Hailey replied.
6 hours later the pain got to be too much and she screamed in pain.
"Ssh ssh just squeeze my hands as hard as you need to" Jay soothed.
"Ok I'm going to check you," Natalie told her.
"Your 3.5 centimeters dilated," Natalie told her.
"Uggh" Hailey replied.
They sat there for 10 minutes until another contraction hit. Hailey screamed in pain. Natalie got behind her and started rubbing her back.
"Ssh ssh squeeze my hands as hard as you need to I'm here" Jay soothed.
"I want the epidural" Hailey choked out.
"Ok I'm going to page the anesthesiologist," Natalie told her.
The anesthesiologist came in 10 minutes later
"Hi Hailey I'm Doctor Jones I'll be doing your epidural," Dr.Jones told her.
"Ok" Hailey replied shakily.
Jay got in front of Hailey and grabbed both of her hands as Dr.Jones prepped her.
"Ok Hailey this is going to hurt but you need to stay still," Dr.Jones told her.
"Ok" Hailey replied.
"Ok here we go 1,2,3," Dr.Jones said as he started the epidural.
"Owww" Hailey cried out.
"Ssh just squeeze my hands you doing so good I've got you" Jay soothed.
Hailey squeezed both of his hands as hard as she could and squeezed her eyes shut for 5 minutes until it was over.
"Ok good job Hailey you should start to feel relief soon," Dr.Jones told her.
"I'm going to check you again sweetie," Natalie told her
"Ok sweetie your 5 centimeters dilated". Natalie told her.
"Only 5 it's been 13 hours is that normal?" Hailey asked scared.
"Yes that's completely normal you have nothing to worry about," Natalie told her
Hailey was able to fall asleep for a little bit. She woke up 4 hours later,17 hours into labor.
"It hurts" Hailey cried out.
"Ssh ssh I know I'm sorry" Jay soothed.
Natalie came in a few minutes later to check on her.
"Ok, sweetie I'm just going to check on you, how are you doing?" Natalie asked.
"It hurts" Hailey choked out.
" know I'm sorry I'll push more morphine real quick.
Natalie gave her more morphine and checked her.
"Ok your 6 centimeters dilated sweetie you're doing so good" Natalie told her
They sat there for another 5 hours until Hailey's pain got unbearable. She felt like she was about to pass out and screamed in pain again.
"It hurts so bad make it stop owww" Hailey cried out
Natalie heard her and came in.
"I think you're getting close honey I'm going to check you," Natalie told her
"Ok your 8 centimeters you're almost there sweetie," Natalie told her
"It really hurts" Hailey choked out
"I know sweetie I'm sorry I'm pushing more meds hopefully that'll help. You should start pushing in an hour or so." Natalie told her. She gave her the meds and left the room.
4 hours had passed and she was still 8 centimeters.
"Why am I still 8 centimeters it's been 4 hours," Hailey asked.
"You're ok it just takes some people longer," Natalie told her.
An hour and a half later Hailey was ready to push.
"Ok Hailey I want you to push on 3 1,2,3 push," Natalie told her.
She pushed and screamed in pain.
"Ssh ssh just squeeze my hand I'm here I've got you" Jay soothed
"Ok push again on 3 1,2,3 push," Natalie told her.
She pushed again and screamed in pain again.
"Ok Hailey your baby is stuck we need to get you up to do a c-section right now," Natalie told her
Hailey began to panic.
Ssh ssh you're ok its ok everything's going to be ok" Jay soothed.
They got her into the room and did another epidural. Once the epidural was done jay went and got dressed in a gown and gloves while they were waiting for it to kick in.
"Ok so you're going to feel a lot of pressure but you shouldn't feel any pain," Dr.Asher told her.
"Ok" Hailey replied.
Dr.Asher did the c-section and Hailey squeezed Jay's hands hard.
"Ssh you're doing so good just keep squeezing my hands" Jay soothed.
10 minutes later their baby girl was out.
"You have a beautiful baby girl," Dr.Asher said handing Hailey her baby
"What her name," Dr.Asher asked.
"Brooklyn Jade Halstead" They both replied.
"Ok Jay do you want to cut the cord," Dr.Asher asked.
"Yes" Jay replied.
He cut the cord and they went back to their room. Dr.Asher Brought a crib and scale into their room.
"She's 6 pounds and 9 ounces. She's perfectly healthy congratulations" Dr Asher told them.
An hour later Will, Natalie, and all of intelligence came to meet the baby.
"Meet Brooklyn Jade Halstead" Hailey told everyone.
Everyone fell in love with her as soon as they met her.
2 days later they were able to go home.
"Welcome home Brooklyn Jade Halstead Hailey said walking in the door.
