Julie's POV

"What do I do?! I don't know what to do!?" I panicked, I helped her stand to her feet - her water had soaked her night gown and was now running down her bare thighs

"Help me get dressed" She clutched her stomach, I ran as fast as possible - grabbing anything I could; my hands were shaking. I helped her out of the night gown - I was in such a state that I didn't even think twice about Mum being completely nude in front of me. I helped her change as fast as my hands could work

"Packed bag by the door" She said, her breathing was growing heavier - I took her hand in mine grabbing the bag on our way out of the room. She was doing her breathing excursizes - inhaling and exhaling.

"Fck!" She bit her lower lip, wincing at the contractions hitting her suddenly

"I'm sorry!" I apologized, I began to cry and It became all so real - Mum was in pain and I couldn't stay strong for her

"CHERYL!" She screamed, she lowered herself down on the last step of the stairs - her hands holding her bump. Mam ran out of the kitchen - she didn't need to ask what was wrong; she knew.

"I fcking hate you right now!" Mum hissed, her face growing red with pain

"But I need yoUR HELP!" She gritted her teeth - screaming through her clenched jaw

Mam worked fast, pulling Mum back up to her feet and rushing them to the car outside - Libby and I were running behind them. The car journey was filled with Mum's screams, her fist banging against the armrest from the contractions shooting through her

Authors POV

Kimberley was feeling pain she had never experienced in her life - the stabbing jabs against her uterus let her know Isabella was ready to come into the world. Cheryl was driving wildly down the road; she needed to stay calm because two women losing it wasn't going to do them any good.

"Deep breaths babe" Cheryl said, trying to talk to her wife as she drove as fast she could

"Fck you!!" Kimberley screamed, Cheryl knew she wasn't in Kimberley's good books at the moment - she found it a little funny in some way; her Kimba was never one to curse outside of the bedroom walls.

"You did this to me!!" Kimberley cried. She was heaving in sweat now - her mouth was becoming more and more unfiltered with each contraction

"Babe just.. Take deep breaths!!" Cheryl tried to speak in a soothing tone but she was shouting

"Don't shout at me!!" Kimberley snapped back - Julie and Libby were sat in the back trying to keep their giggles together. They were finding it all comically funny. Julie surpassed her laughs and took action

"Mum relax" Julie spoke softly, her fingers massaging her Mum's shoulders - instantly getting her Mum to calm down and take deep breaths

Cheryl was envious of their relationship; she wasn't going to let Julie break her walls down that easily. She was going to teach Julie a lesson - she was going to teach her to be strong.

"We're almost there" Julie soothed her Mum

Kim's POV

The contractions were nothing I had ever felt before; they came in waves some stronger than others - always preparing for the next raid. I was clutching onto my bump as the wincing pain came through once more - my screams were growing louder.

Bless Julie she was terrified and trying to calm me down - doing anything and everything. She never did like seeing me upset. Cheryl pulled up to the A&E climbing out of the car and quickly getting a wheelchair - I was useless and I couldn't move a muscle as the contraction ripped through me once more

"I'll help her" Julie fought with Cheryl, they weren't on good terms at the moment - and neither was I

"I've got it!" Cheryl hissed, forcing the wheelchair out of Julie's hands - wheeling it over to me and settling me down into it

"Deep breaths" Cheryl instructed, there was no air left in me; I was taking in as much oxygen as my lungs could take. I was wheeled into our private room, instantly being helped out of my wardrobe and into a hospital gown - everything was happening so fast

"Julie? Where's Julie?" I asked breathlessly, my body was soaked in my sweat - I lay out onto the hospital bed breathing heavily. Contraction after contraction hitting me like a tone of bricks

"She's outside, only one of us can be in here" Cheryl said, wiping down the sweat off my forehead

"I'm still upset wITH YOU! AHHH!" I screamed, my body jolting up - I was howling; my hand crushing Cheryl's - I knew my grip was tight; but she never let me go. The midwife came in and measured how far along I was, telling me not to start pushing until I've gone 10 centimeters

"You're at 8, don't push even if you feel the need to! I'll come back and check on you in ten minutes" She said, walking out leaving Cheryl and I alone

"I'm sorry Kimba! I didn't mean it" She said in a tone I knew all too well, she was trying to make me feel bad - wanting me to forgive her. She wasn't going to get my forgiveness that easy; even with the pain I was experiencing at the moment

"She's my daughter to you know! She fcking told me!!" I screamed, releasing my hand from hers - clenching the bed sheets firmly

"You know I didn't mean it! I say stupid sh*t when I'm upset" She argued, her hand rubbing the back of her neck - I knew she was upset with the words she had told me. Her body language screamed 'I'm sorry'

"If you make her.. Fck! If you make her fcking cry one more tIME! I'M GOING TO FCKING KILL YOU!" I spoke through my screams, I was now crying at the overwhelming pain - I couldn't handle it anymore. I wanted to do a natural birthing, but fck that sh*t

"Get me the fcking Epidural!" I shouted at Cheryl, she didn't need to be told twice - she ran out of the room and came back within minutes, dragging a nurse behind her

"Ma'am I don't think you should take the med-"

"Give it to me!!" I screamed, she sighed and got the injection ready

"Please lay on your side" She said, already helping me

"This will be just a little pinch" She said, bringing the needle down to my dura and implanting the medication inside of me

"Fck! Pinch my fcking ass!" I cried, I was never one for using foul language - but I couldn't control what we coming out of my mouth right now

"It'll settle in within minutes, please lie back down and I will check how far along you've gone now" I could feel the pain reliever go into action within seconds - suddenly my screams were now little winces. The pain had gone down and I was able to breathe normally

"You're at 9 almost there!" She smiled, I let out a sigh of relief and turned to a wide eyed Cheryl

"What?"

"Nothing.. Just so unlike you so speak like this Mrs. Tweedy-Walsh" She teased

"Stop" I pouted, my hands running over my bump - which will be gone sooner than later

"I'm still upset with you" I whispered, I was deeply hurt by Cheryl's words - and I don't think I'll ever forget them

"Baby-" She came over sitting beside me on the bed, her hand stroking my clammy cheek

"I swear I didn't mean it, I know how much Julie means to you.. And I know how much you mean to her" She sincerely said, shuffling closer to me and placing a chaste kiss against my lips

"I really am sorry" She said kissing me again

"Better be"

Julie's POV

I was pacing up and down the white corridor, I have to go in - I need to go in

"Can I please go in!?" I asked a nurse, seeing her making her way to Mum's room

"Yes of course, but only two are allowed in the delivery room" She said, my face instantly lit up - I gave Libby a quick kiss and saw myself into Mum's room

"Mum" I breathed, running over to her side of the bed - she was covered in sweat.

"Get out! What are you doing in here!?" Mam shouted, I ignored her completely - staying close to Mum

"You're going to do amazing" I said in a gentle tone, I took my hair tie out and tied up her hair - she let out a sigh of relief as I began to air her. I was trying to stay confident, but with seeing Mum completely uneasy made my heart clench with worry

"You can't be in here!" Mam hissed, I don't know why she suddenly did a 360 flip with me - what happened to the kind and loving Mam? She was no where to be seen

"The nurse said I could come in" I said, I tried to sound assertive but my voice faltered - it came out as a tragic squeak

"Well I'm telling you to get out!" My eyes began to well up with tears, she was kicking me out? I swallowed the lump in my throat and began to walk myself out of the delivery room

"What? Are you not even going to fight to stay?" She asked, I stopped in my tracks - my back was still facing her

"Go fck yourself" I spat, walking myself out of the delivery room and straight over to Libby; crying into her opened arms.
