Chapter Eight

‘Hi, I am looking for Maddison Connor’ I inform the blonde middle aged woman on the reception, ‘maternity’ I add my voice breathy through nerves and apprehension.

‘Ah yes, are you a relative sir?’ her eyes narrow slightly as if I am being tested.

‘I am the father’ I inform her irritably, ‘does that count?’

‘It sure does follow the yellow line to maternity and they will direct you from there’ she smiles, ‘good luck!’

‘Thank you!’ I trot down the line feeling like a prize idiot but not caring anyway until I reach another reception area where a younger woman is sat. ‘Hi I am here to see Maddison Connor, I am the father’

‘Oh great! We were worried about her all on her own. Room 6’ she points in the direction. As I stride towards the room my insides twist with anxiety at the welcome I am about to receive.

I knock on the door and enter without being asked to find her sitting on the bed looking entirely overwhelmed by the whole situation. Her eyes are cloudy I imagine from the drugs and she regards me as if I am a hallucination.

‘Hey’ I approach her and she blinks before clutching at her stomach I guess as a contraction hits. ‘How’s it going?’

‘Not a time for chit chat Brad’ she pants as she stands and leans over the bed.

‘Wow, you are quite a size eh?’ she is huge her tiny legs sticking out from under the tent like gown ‘is everything ok with the babies?’ I worry.

‘Fine. What – do – you – want?’ she pants as her face contorts with the pain that hits.

‘I want to know my children’ I explain as I rub her back to somehow ease her pain.

‘How did you know I was in labor?’ she whispers.

‘Actually I didn’t it was a coincidence, I came to talk’ I plead with my eyes and her face contorts once again.

‘Shit I want to push’ she cries and I lay her back on the bed.

‘It’s ok’ I soothe her pushing the red button for the nurse ‘don’t you have gas and air or something?’

‘Want-a- natural- birth’ she groans.

‘Fuck that Maddie take some drugs’ I inform her and for a minute she giggles before groaning again as the midwife arrives ‘your eyes are scary I thought you had already had some’ I smile through the butterflies that are fluttering within me.

‘I have been in labor for a day Brad I am shattered!’ she grabs my hand and I soothe her as the spasm continues.

‘Ok, how we doing?’ the midwife moves over to the bed, ‘you the dad?’

‘Yes. Give her some drugs will you’ I instruct not relishing seeing her in so much pain.

‘Want to push’ she groans.

‘Too late for drugs now’ she examines Maddison, ‘ok next contraction Maddison push through to your bottom’

Three hours later both babies are born and sleeping in the special baby unit. The little boy came first weighing five pounds six and the little girl came twenty minutes later weighing five pounds exactly.
