Update! Hope ya'll like it! And I know about the baby being born in the car and it coming fast, but its more dramatic that way to me. In the hospital it seems to always go pretty much ok. I just like doing something different with each story I write. Anyway heres the update!
Chapter 23
Eric squatted at the end of her to catch the baby as it came out.
"Ok, are you ready?" Eric said as he looked at her.
"I'm more than ready."
"Ok, push." Eric said as he started counting off.
"Eric..."
"Yea?"
"I can't do this."
"Yes you can. Just a few more pushes and the baby's out." Eric said as he rubbed her leg.
"I believe in you." Eric said as he smiled at her. With that she started to push again.
"Oh my God..." Natalia screamed as she tried to slow down her breathing.
"The heads out, the heads out!" Eric screamed back. After a few more pushes, the baby fell into Erics hands. Eric smiled as Natalia threw her head back against the window and slowed her breathing down.
"We have a boy!" Eric said scooting closer to Natalia's head. Eric placed a blanket on her chest and placed their son on the blanket. Natalia looked at Eric who was crying. She started laughing. Eric started laughing with her and kissed her head. After that he cut the ambilical cord. He leaned back up and kissed Natalia on the lips. Eric cleaned his son off and helped Natalia sit up. He drove them back home. When they got home, he helped Natalia out of the Hummer and up the stairs to their house. He helped Natalia to the couch and covered her up with a blanket as she fed their son.
"What we gonna name him?" Eric said rubbing his sons head.
"What about Ayden?"
"Perfect." Eric said smiling at her.
The next day Eric drove them to the hospital to make sure everything was ok. Natalia and Ayden were cleard and were able to go back home. Over the next 2 days Eric and Natalia were up and down every two hours through the night. 3:00 am....
"Eric?" Natalia said as she heard Ayden crying.
"What?"
"Can you please get him while I get ready to feed him?"
"Why can't you just go get him and then feed him there?"
"Eric please let's not start this now."
"Start what? I'm just saying I don't see why you can't just go in there and feed him. I can't feed him, only you can do that."
"So I'm guessing since I was in a few hours of labor with him, you don't think my body is worn out?"
"No, I'm just say..."
"Fine. I'll get him." Natalia said throwing the covers off of her and leaving their room. Natalia picked up her son and fed him and then rocked him alseep in the rocking chair. She fell asleep herself. 2 hours later Ayden started crying again. Natalia woke up and placed him in the diaper changer and changed his diaper. She picked him up and bounced him until he fell asleep. The next morning when Natalia woke up, Eric had already left for work. His parents had brought Avery back home.
"How you feeling?" Erics mom asked.
"I'm very sore, but labor will do that to you." Natalia said as she let out a chuckle.
"Yes it will. Well, listen, call me if you need me for anything."
"Ok. And thanks again for taking her."
"Anytime." Erics mom said as she shut the door.
"Can I see my little baby brother?"
"Yes you can, but be really quiet, he's sleeping." Natalia said as she picked up her daughter and walked upstairs.
"Ok."
Later on Eric came home from work. He walked into the house and walked upstairs and took a shower and got dressed and ready to leave again.
"Where are you going?" Natalia said as she laid on the couch.
"Out."
"What time will you be home?" Natalia said sitting up on the couch.
"I don't know. Whatever time I wanna be I guess." Eric said shrugging his shoulders and looking at her.
"Eric, I've been home all day taking care of our kids."
"So..."
"So all I'm asking for is for two hours of you taking care of them."
"I'll take them with me."
"Eric, we have a 3 day year old baby and a 5 year old daughter."
"Ok, well then it looks like your stuck here with them."
"Is this how it's gonna be?"
"How what's gonna be?"
"This. You going out while I stay here and take care of our 2 kids by myself?"
"Well, I work all day, so I need some time to myself." Eric said walking over and getting the car keys.
"Yea and I stay here and clean and take care of our kids the whole day and night." Natalia said as she could feel the tears filling her eyes.
"Well call a baby sitter." Eric said putting on his coat.
"You know what, just go out and have your fun. I'll take care of my kids." Natalia said getting off the couch and opening up the door for him.
"Ok. See you later." Eric called as he walked to the Hummer.
Natalia shut the door and rested her head on it as she let the tears fall. She walked upstairs and fell asleep in their bed.
