Nine Months Later

I walk around Noah and I's house, well more like waddled around our house. I was dressed in a white long sleeved button up dress with my hair in a messy bun. I hold a bag of chips in one of my hands while the other rubs my swollen belly.

I open the door to the baby nursery and walk in. I grab the hospital bag, I was almost done packing it and since the baby should be coming anyway now I should probably have it all packed by now. All I needed was to pick the baby's clothes for the hospital.

My phone starts to buzz in my dress pocket and I pull it out to see Noah's name on the screen. I set the phone up against the potted plant on the small table next to the chair before I clicked the answer button. "Hello, beautiful." My amazing husband says and I greet him back as I open the closet doors.

I hear a meow and I see Autumn start to walk into the room. She was now almost 4 years old but she still acted like a little kitten most of the time. She has been with me almost every minute of the day. It was like she was my guard cat. Autumn has been like this since the beginning of my pregnancy and it was cute to see.

Autumn rubs up against my legs while I place my hands on my hips while I look at Noah through the FaceTime call. He had a game in a couple hours, so he was at practice right now.

"How are my girls?" Noah asks through the phone and I can see his eyes rank down my body.

Funny story actually, Noah was scared to have sex with me when we found out I was pregnant not because he thought he would hurt me but because he was scared he would hit our kid with his dick. Let's just say the doctor had a field day with that one.

"We're good, I have been getting contractions lately though." I tell him and I see his eyes wide so wide I think they might fall out of their sockets.

"What! Why didn't you tell me? I would have told the coach I couldn't play today." He says as he starts to panic. I roll my eyes at him while I take out a beige onesie with white socks and a head wrap.

"Three hours apart, I probably won't be going into labor until at least tomorrow." I tell him as I fold the clothes and stuff them into the bag. We continue to talk until he has to get back to practice.

~~~~~

I woke up at 1:15 in the morning from shooting pain. I groan as I squeeze my eyes shut and grip onto Noah's arm as I try to wake him up. "Noah!" I say in almost a scream and Noah jolts up from his side of the bed. "What happened? What's wrong?" Noah hurriedly while he gets on his feet in seconds and turns on the light.

"C-contractions," I stutter and he helps me off the bed and holds my body in his arms as he lets me squeeze his hand like my life depends on it. Well, it sort of does.

"Let's walk around, okay?" Noah says and I nod as I feel relief wash over me from the contractions ending. We started to walk around the upstairs floor while Noah timed my contractions.

When we are about to reach our 5th lap I hear a splash of water. I look down and see liquid all around me, on my legs, and on the floor. "My water broke," I muttered weakly to Noah while looking up at him.

"Okay, let's get you cleaned up and I'll call Leo and all our friends. They are less than 30 minutes apart so I think we have some time until we have to go to the hospital, okay?" Noah says with a hurried tone. This was our first child, of course we would be terrified.

I take a quick shower and change into a pair of Noah's grey sweatpants and a white oversized t-shirt. Noah walks into the bathroom after just talking with Leo and finds me doing my makeup. "Are you really doing your makeup?" He asks me in disbelief.

"Sweetheart, I have to look good giving birth." I tell him and he rolls his eyes at me before wrapping his arms gently around me. "You look beautiful with or without makeup," He said to me and now it was my turn to roll my eyes.

"I know," I told him with a sarcastic smile and he left a soft kiss on my neck while his hands rubbed my round belly. "We're going to have our baby," He mutters to me with a sort of scared look.

"We're going to have our baby," I say back, repeating his words.

~~~~~

"You got this baby," Noah told me with a serious look as he smoothed back my hair and caressed my cheek with his hand as I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

We were at the hospital now and we have been for about 6 hours already. After those long hours I finally dilated to 10 cm and now it was time to push this kid out of me. I've been pushing for the last 25 or so minutes already.

Sweated beaded my body as tears fell from my eyes. "I-I can't, I'm tired," I cry to Noah as I stare at his eyes while I shake my head no. The doctor sits in between my legs trying to encourage me to keep going as nurses hold up my legs.

"Listen to me and only me, you got this. Okay? You got this, beautiful. Just one more push and then we can meet our little girl." Noah tells me as I see a tear fall from his eyes, his hand moves from my cheek and takes my hand into his and gives it a small reassuring squeeze.

"Okay?" He asks and I nod. I scream once more as I start to push a human out of my vagina. I soon hear a cry as I fall back onto the hospital bed. I look over at Noah and he stares down at me with tears in his eyes and a smile so bright the sun should be jealous.

"Here's your little girl," The doctor says as she lays our daughter on my chest. I hold her tight against me and Noah wipes the tears that hold fallen from his eyes as he looks at her. The doctors and nurses soon take her away to get her all cleaned up and to also get me all cleaned up.

After a little bit, I'm finally sitting up in my hospital bed watching Noah sway along to the soft music playing from his phone as he stared down at our daughter. Her eyes opened as she stared at him like he was her whole world. "Thank you," Noah said to me as he walked over to me.

"For what?" I ask him, confused.

"For falling in love with me, for marrying me and now for giving me this little angel." He tells me as he places our daughter into my arms. I scoot over and pat the small space for him to sit. When he finally gets comfortable, Noah pulls me closer to him and wraps an arm around my back.

"I love you two so much," Noah states as he places a kiss on both our heads.

"I love you more," I whisper back to him as our daughter wraps her tiny hand around my index finger.

"Welcome to the world, Aurora Michelson Hayes." I say and I look up at Noah to see his reaction to her name and I see him look at me with a shocked look. He opens his mouth to ask me and I just nod my head and smile up at him.

A knock at the door causes us to look up and we see our friends and family. We tell them that they can come in but to be quiet. I watch them gush about how cute she is while I lay up against my husband's chest loving every second of it.
