As I try to calm my nerves, the doctor arrives, and Nick helps me out of my clothing and into a hospital gown. My grunts and cries of pain fill the room as I lay back on the bed. "I need something for the pain."
Nick looks at the doctor with a pleading expression.
"I know, Emma. But I have to examine you first to see how far along you are."
Another contraction hits, and I get the urge to push. "I need to push. Oh, fucking God... it burns."
"Let's have a look, Emma. Keep breathing, but don't push."
"I can't stop… it."
The doctor examines me, and she says, "I can't give an epidural, sweetheart."
"Why not?"
"Because you're fully dilated. This baby is ready."
It stuns Nick when he hears this. "That quick?"
"Yeah," the doctor answers with a smile. "Some births go fast. So, Emma, I know it hurts, but with the next contraction, I want you to push. You have done amazing until now, so keep going and before you know it, you'll have your..."
"Son," Nick answers quickly.
Ten seconds later, another contraction hits me, and I push with every fiber of my being. Nick holds my hand, and he lets out a painful grunt as I squeeze his hand. I pant heavily as the contraction subdues. The burning sensation in my crotch is terrible.
Another nurse arrives to help the doctor.
"My crotch will explode," I moan. "It's burning."
"I promise you, you're not exploding, Emma, but your boy is crowning. That's causing the burning sensation. With the next one or two pushes, you'll give me everything you've got."
I gaze at Nick, who's putting a cool cloth against my forehead that the nurse gave him.
"You're doing amazing," he whispers.
I give him a soft smile. But it disappears when the next contraction begins. "Oh, it's coming," I whine.
The pain rushes to its peak, and I push with everything I have.
"Okay, Mister Brown, if you want to help deliver your son, you can because in the next push he's out."
Nick looks at me for permission, and after I give him a nod, he lets go of my hand. For a moment, I worry. What if he faints or gets a disgusted look on his face, seeing my exploded pussy? But nothing of that happens.
Instead, he says, "Emma, our boy is coming."
Right away, another contraction comes in and I push. I let out a tired, painful yell from my core, but I keep my eyes open, and as I do, I see Nick reaching forward with his hands together with the doctor, and I know I'm there. My head falls back when a newborn cry fills the room.
Nick bursts into tears of relief and joy as he holds our son, and I can't be happier. He turns his glossy eyes to me and in a voice that sounds broken with emotions, he tells me our son is born. I smile through my exhaustion. I let my eyes leave his face to take in the baby that is being brought to me and laid on my bare skin. He cries the sweetest tears, and all the pain of the moments before melts away.
He's only minutes old and my boy roots, mouth wide. When Nick has cut the umbilical cord, he comes standing next to me. I gaze up and meet his eyes.
"I love you, Emma. What you did was amazing." He lets out a sob. "Thank you for our amazing son."
"Congratulations, guys. Do you have a name for him?"
As we both look at our son, he opens his tiny eyes. Not to my surprise, two dark brown orbs gaze into the world, and Nick says the name: "Liam Brown."
That's a powerful name for this little man. The nurse takes Liam for a moment to give him a check-up. Nick walks to the nurse and watches how she does a few tests.
