“Thank you for coming, Bleu. Ye’ll never know what it means to me that ye’ll be here for the birth of my daughter.”
My heart melts. “Ah! A baby girl! Have you chosen a name yet?”
“I still don’t know. I decided it would come to me when I look at her face.”
“I’m sure it will.” Maybe that’s what Sin and I should do since we can’t seem to agree on anything.
“Do ye have names for yer babies yet?”
“We have a few we’re thinking about but nothing definite.”
“Still haven’t found out what they are?”
“It’s a mystery.”
“I don’t know how ye can stand not knowing, especially with two of them.”
It’s really not been that difficult. “I was forced to learn patience at an early age.”
Brooke grabs her abdomen and begins breathing deeply. “Another one already. They’re coming much closer.”
She’s hurting so I think it’s safe to assume she doesn’t have an epidural. “Nothing for pain?”
“Don’t need it. Women have been having babies forever without anesthesia. I can too.”
Baby number one was breech on the last sonogram. Of course there’s time for him or her to turn but as it currently stands, it looks like the only anesthesia choice I’ll get is spinal versus going to sleep for a C-section.
“Have they checked you for dilation since you called?”
“Aye. Up to six.”
That’s two centimeters in an hour. “You’re making great progress.”
“I know. The nurses are a little concerned about how much bleeding I’m having.”
She needs reassurance. “I’m sure they’ll keep a close watch on it.”
“Where’s Sinclair?”
“In the waiting room.”
She’s beaming. “I’m so grateful ye came to be with me. Thank ye.”
“You’re family. We want to take care of you.”
Four hours after my arrival, the doctor places a screaming baby girl on Brooke’s chest. She’s wrinkly and bloody, looking around through squinted eyes. Simply beautiful.
“Oh, look at her, Bleu. I can’t believe she’s finally here. I think she’s the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen.”
“She is lovely.”
Brooke strokes the top of her head. “She has Callum’s dark hair. I was so sure she’d take after me and have bright red.”
“Think of it as a nice reminder of your husband when you look at her.”
“I hope she looks like him.”
Five minutes pass. Ten. Thirty and Brooke’s placenta hasn’t delivered. I’m not sure that’s normal.
“We’ve given it plenty of time,” her doctor says. “It should have released on its own so I’m going to remove it by hand. The nurses are going to take yer baby to the nursery now.”
No way that’s going to feel good without an epidural and after having a seven-pound baby pass through. “You can hold my hand if you’d like.”
She shakes her head. “I don’t want to hurt ye.”
I remember the way Harry would talk to me when a nurse would poke me with an IV. “Just breathe. In deep and out slow. Try to not tense up. It’ll be over in a minute.”
But it’s not. The extraction is becoming more aggressive. And bloodier. I’ve never seen so much blood in all my life.
