"Ahhhh," she screamed scaring the shit out of me.

"Baby calm down," I said trying to soothe her.

"Don't touch me right now Lucas! This shit hurts," she screamed.

"You need some help Cher?," said Jordan.

"So y'all got nick names and shit now?"

"Yeah can you take me to me bed? I need to lay down," she said totally ignoring me.

"What the fuck we about to do cause all of us is clueless as fuck right now."

I quickly dialed 911 and within two rings, they picked up. I explained to them that my wife water just broke and the lady talking to me was instructing me on how to soothe her.

"So what do I do until the help comes?"

"Do you know how many centimeters she is?," she asked.
I turned around asking Charity hoping that she would know, "how many centimeters are you?".  In between screams she replied, "I'm .... about 10.... I don't know... but I think the baby's head... is coming out." I almost shitted my pants after I heard her say that.

Aw hell naw... I can't deliver a fucking baby... I love my princess but shit I might pass the fuck out seeing that shit. I could barely take watching the birth videos Charity forced me to watch when she was six months I thought.

"Um lady she says she feels like the ....the baby's coming," I said shaking hard as fuck. How the fuck am I gone do this?

"Sir calm down," the lady instructed, "if she's having the baby now it's best that you follow these directions carefully...your gonna have a in home birth," she said.

"Awww shitttttt," I yelled scaring Charity.

"Listen to me, you have to make sure she's somewhere that's comfortable for her. Lay her on a bed or couch so you can have easy access to the baby. Then you wanna get your hands clean or get some latex gloves, and wear some clothes that can get messy... cause it will get messy," she said mumbling the last part.

I quickly grabbed some cleaning gloves that Charity never used and put the phone in between my shoulder and me ear so I can move and talk. I then helped Charity on top of a dry towel.

"Now what?," I asked.
"Get a blanket for the baby, a cold towel for the woman giving birth because she will sweat, some water and a wash cloth to clean the baby's body off, hand sanitizer, and pain pills."

Within ten minutes of scrambling through Charity's house I had found everything she instructed me to get. I sat at the end of Charity seeing what looked like the baby's head. I put the phone on speaker so the lady could walk through the process but Charity's screams almost covered her voice.

"LUCAS.... JORDAN GET THIS BABY OUT OF ME LORDDDDD," she screamed.

"Just push ma'am" the lady said.

"Deep breaths Charity, see inhale ..... exhale," Jordan said demonstrating. I instantly sent him a death glare.

"Baby you got this," I said.

"Shut up Lucas!," she snapped.

"Ight on three, push as hard as you can ma'am," the lady said.

"One... two...three"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit," was all you heard.

"What the fuck... I see the head"

"One...two....three..."

"Ughhhhhhhhhh omgggg"

"Okay sir, is the head of the baby out yet?," she asked.

"Y-yeah....yeah"

"Now when she pushes, slightly pull the baby by the head"

"Umm... ok"

"Ready ma'am?" She asked.

"It's Charity and....yes," she mumbled

"Ok, one...two.... three"

I slightly pulled at the baby's head managing to get fifty percent of her body out.

"One more push Charity," Jordan said brushing her hair out of her face and kissing her on the forehead. She just smiled at him.

"One..two..three..."

"Haaaaaaaaa," she pushed.

Then the room filled with cries of a baby.

"Ava Olivia Gold... born Tuesday,November 8th 2017 at 4:50pm ," I said.

I wrapped her In the blanket and handed her to Charity after kissing her. I could've sworn I saw her smile.

"Awnnn," Charity cried.

"She beautiful ma," Jordan said.

"Thanks," I replied dryly.

"Stop," said Charity.

"Sir the ambulance will be there in two minutes to cut the umbilical cord and take Ms.Charity and the baby to the hospital," the lady spoke softly.

"Thanks sooo so much...," I said before hanging up.
