Chapter Twenty-Three: "Calm Down In There, My Guy."

-

April 23rd (six months later)

It was just another regular day in New York City. The flowers were starting to bloom now as spring was finally here!

I was officially due any minute now, I looked like I was literally fixing to burst.

Garrett had officially finished his first season of professional football and I couldn't have been more proud of him.

He's been such an amazing help these past few months. Gosh, he's the perfect husband!

I've never met a guy so sweet until him.

I've never met someone so in love with someone until I met him. It's honestly insane that's he's so into me. Like why me?

I'm just ... me.

Nothing special.

I was officially on maternity leave at the times since last week I had a pregnancy scare.

I thought my water had broken, turns out it was literally a bottle of water that had fallen on the floor.

They told me not to come back until January of next year. Which is a super long time, I can't believe they are giving me that much time off.

But, I will have to start working from home in September. I mean I'm an editor, someone's gotta do it.

I was currently on bed rest on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon. All I wanted to do was go sit outside by the pool deck and read a book. Garrett disagreed with that choice.

"Babe, all I am saying is that you need to rest! Pretty soon we are going to have sleepless nights for a while. That reminds me, did we pack a hospital bag?" He starts to shuffle around the bedroom to look for the suitcase we had packed almost a week ago.

"Garrett!" I shout getting his attention, he turns around runs a hand through his hair, "Come sit down. Now."

He slowly walks over to the bed and sits down, "You know it's sexy when you have to discipline me."

Did I mention we haven't had sex in a while?

"You are three seconds from having a breakdown, you need to chill. Come lay down for a minute."

He leans back and lets the pillow hit his head before he groans into his hands, "I'm sorry, it's just that like, at any second now we could be fucking parents! What if I'm a bad dad? What if I don't have enough time for you two. What if-."

"If I hear another what if come out of you I will not hesitate to pee on you."

He rolls over to face me and puts a strand of my hair behind my ear, "I like it when you talk dirty."

"Babe!" I laugh.

"Okay, serious question." I nod for him to continue, "If I were to finger you right now do you think I would like, touch the baby?"

I turn slowly on my side and smirk, "How about we find out?"

He shoots up, "Are you serious?"

I shrug, "I hear sex helps induce the labor."

He rubs his hands together before smiling innocently at me, "Have I told you that you looked beautiful today?"

"Garrett shut up and help me take my pants off."

He leans over and kisses me before pulling my pants off and takes off his. I straddle him in a sitting position finding out that this is the most comfortable position to where the baby isn't squished.

Garrett's POV

"What do you mean she's in fucking labor right now?" Matt's voice booms through the speakers of the trucks Bluetooth.

I groan, "Do you not hear me? She's having the baby! Get yall's ass here, now!" I end the call and look to my right to see my wife yelping in pain as another contraction comes. My poor babies.

"We are almost there," I say grabbing her hand and gently squeeze it. That was probably the worst move to make because she gripped my hand and started to squeeze it as hard as she could to ease the pain.

"Babe I know you're in pain, but so am I and I don't really want to crash the car so could you loosen up the grip a little bit?"

She breathes and loosens up on the grip she had on my hand, "I fucking hate you for this. You can give birth to the next one." She snarls.

I chuckle, "Baby, you know I would if I could. Remember our honeymoon?"

We arrive at the hospital and I place the car in park before jumping out of the car to retrieve a wheelchair and a doctor. "Help please! My wife has gone into labor!"

"Where is she?"

"The car! Come quick!" We run out to the truck where she's screaming in pain. We get her in a wheelchair and sprint her to the nearest room for the delivery.

Once she is settled in the bed I walk over to her and kiss her forehead, "You can do this. You're the strongest person I know."

"Garrett, did you call my brother?" She breathes out and holds her stomach, "Could you please freaking calm down in there, my guy?"

I laugh, "Jess I called him in the car, remember?"

She shakes her head, "Babe, I honestly don't remember being in the car. The last thing I remember is us having sex and my water breaking as I had an orgasm."

"That was honestly the coolest thing ever, even though it literally got all over me. Damn, I'll go home after you get the little bean out and clean the sheets."

She cocks her head to the side and giggled, "Did you get the suitcase out?"

I shook my head no, "I didn't really have time. I'll get it in a little."

"Oh yeah! I forgot," Her smile fades into a painful expression before grabbing my hand for another contraction.

Those damn things.

Like we get it, the babies coming!

We had been in the hospital for about eleven hours now. Matt and Savannah has just arrived along with Jess's dad and his new wife.

Both couples had gotten recently married this past year.

I remember going to my best friends wedding in January when Jess was about twenty weeks pregnant.

I remember Jess crying because she felt like the attention was on her and not Savannah, the bride.

It took me at least an hour to calm her down.

But once she remembered that her and Savannah were officially sisters, she couldn't stop smiling. I don't think I ever saw it disappear that night.

I can't wait for her to be that happy again. I'd do anything to see her smile that big again...

Now she throws stuff at me and cries. Hormones. I hate seeing my girl cry. It pains my heart.

I called her mom earlier to tell her about the baby arriving but she couldn't get off of work due to an emergency surgery from a severe car crash.

It made her pretty sad but all of her friends being here made up for it. Well most of her friends.

The doctor comes in a few minutes later to check her and she smiles, "Well Jessica, it's time. Your cervix is officially dilated ten centimeters." She motions for the other nurses to come in, "Will you guys wheel her into room 323?"

I hold her hand as we all wheel her into the delivery room.

God, I was nervous as hell! I was unbelievably excited to be a dad.

I couldn't wait to teach this boy how to throw a football and teach him how to respect women.

I want him to find a girl as beautiful as my wife when he grows up.

I already can't wait to have another one.

Babies are difficult though, and it will be tough with me starting practices soon again. I did take off the rest of the month though.

I had a week to settle in with my baby before I had to start spring training from 9-3. I tried to talk her into getting a nanny but she wouldn't budge.

She quote on quote said, "I'll be home why hell would we need a nanny?"

She squeezes my hand extra hard as another contraction comes through. How is it even possible for these things to get worse?!

"Okay Jessica, it's time to deliver your baby. Now the first few times you don't need to push as hard until I tell you to. Understood?"

She nods, "Garrett?"

I look down at her and smile, "Yes?"

"I love you." She sweetly says and grabs my shirt to pull me down a little.

I kiss her softly before pulling away, "I love you too, gorgeous."

After a few minutes of getting the baby to get closer the doctor states, "Okay on the count of five, push as long and hard as you can. I can see the babies head now."

I breathe heavily before peeking over to the other side of the bed where her legs were spread open. Disregarding the disgustingness that was happening in her vagina, I could clearly see the babies head ready to pop out any second.

I grabbed Jessica's hand as she squeezed the life out of my hand. I almost started to scream along with her as she held my hand. The pain was unbearable.

I couldn't even imagine the pain she was in...

The sound of cries takes the pain away. The doctor held the baby in his hands and I was on the verge of crying as well.

I peek over to my wife who was bawling as well.

My babies.

They clean the baby up before walking over to us and placing the baby in our hands.

"Congratulations Mrs. and Mr. Adams, you have a beautiful, healthy baby boy."

"Oh my God..." I mutter as I looked at my son in my wife's hands.

I bend over and kiss her forehead before caressing my finger over my child's cheek.

He was passed out now. Something I wanted to be. Asleep.

It had been a long ass day.

Thirteen hours in the hospital.

"I love you both so much." Jess cries.

I lean over to her and kiss her on the lips softly then planting a kiss on my child's forehead.

Welcome to the world, Colton Gray Adams.
