Cemetery Drive

Chapter 34

"Alright Frank, let's get started." My doctor said, I was already number up and both Gerard and my mom were on either of my sides.

She moved away from my face and moved towards my belly, I couldn't see what she was doing but I was still scared shitless.

"Wait!" I said and she stopped and looked at me, but I turned to Gerard.

"I'm scared." I said with my voice cracking.

"Why baby?" He said as he smoothed over my hair and placed a mask covered kiss on my forehead, "All they're doing is getting our baby for us."

"By cutting through me." I whined.

"Well if you want they can take you off the pain mess and you can push her out yourself." He offered.

"But, they said I'm too tired and that can compromise her oxygen."

"Then what do you want to do?" He asked and strokes my hair.

"Okay, get her out." I told the doctors.

They gave me a smile before disappearing behind the small blue curtain once again. She told me I was going to feel some pressure but it felt like someone has put both of their hands on my stomach and pushed inwards with all their might, it didn't hurt it just felt really weird. I was still nervous as I waited there, I tried to ignore everything the doctor was saying to the other nurses and doctors there and I tried counting all the tiles on the ceiling instead.

"Alright, she's almost out." The doctor said breaking my train of thought. I held a breath as she moved her tools inside of me and soon enough I heard a little cry coming from behind the curtain.

"And we have a baby girl; does the dad want to cut the cord?" She asked.

Gerard nodded then kissed you head through the blue mask before also disappearing behind the mask; I tried moving to see but I was kinda stuck at the table. But thank god Gerard came back within a few seconds holding our very loud daughter. He held her close to my face and I have her a small kiss to her forehead.

"Hi baby, I'm your daddy." I greeted her as I he my finger out to her hand and she grasped it.

"She's very beautiful Frank, now why doesn't your mate take her down to the nursery while I finished putting you back together." My doctor said, I nodded while ignoring her comment about Gerard being my mate because it would be a long explanation. Gerard leaned down and kissed my forehead before standing back up and cradling our baby and leaving.

"She's good right?" I asked my mom. "Like that was a loud enough cry and she looked good right? Like healthy?"

"She's great Frank, now if you stopped moving it would be a lot easier for me to stitch you back up so you can go and meet her properly." My doctor said and I smiled at her and gave her an apology and let her go back to work. Thankfully it didn't take her long to finish putting me back together.

"Alright Frank, you're all set. They're going to take you down to recovery now. And congrats." My doctor said with a smile.

As they took me to my room, I couldn't help but stare at my stomach. It wasn't flat like it has been all my life but it was at least half the size it has been the last month. When I ran my hand over it, I didn't get any kicks like I normally get when I did that, plus it was also really sore. Just before we got to my room my mom said she's was going to go tell my dad and Gerard's family that was in the waiting room. When I got to my room I expected Gerard to be there waiting for me with our daughter but instead I was alone. My nurse helped me get comfortable then left me alone, I wanted to call Gerard but he had my phone in the baby bag and I had no idea where it or he was. But just as I was about to call the nurse back in so they could get Gerard for me but he walked in wearing those blue scrubs; when he saw me he gave me one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen him give; he sped walked over to me and grab my face with both of his hands and placed a very loving kiss on my lips.

"She's so perfect, with her little hands and fingers and she’s so perfect. She has black hair just like you, she has bright blue eyes though, I’m not sure where those are from but she’s do perfect.”

“Josh has blue eyes.” I said quietly.

“Well she’s still perfect, my perfect little baby and her daddy.” He said like the Josh comment meant nothing, normally whenever I mention Josh or that Eliza is Josh’s biological daughter he gets all tense and close off but he just acted like it was nothing.

“I wanna see her. When can I see her?” I asked.

“Real soon, she’s getting some tests done and when it’s over the nurse will bring her in.” He told me climbing into bed with me and cradling me in his arms. “Thank you so much baby, I never knew I could love someone so much, I mean like I love you so freaking much but this is so different.”

“Baby, I love you.” I said and kissed him. “You know, I’m not pregnant anymore. We can find out.” I offered as my hand lingered on his.

“Tomorrow, when Josh comes to see her, was both going to be in pretty bad mood for new parents, so we’ll keep that bit of good news for tomorrow okay?” He said then kissed my forehead.

“Okay.” I agreed.

“Who wants to meet their baby?” A nurse asked as she came in.
