Probably to the birth..))
Amelia was relaxing at home, her dad had booked her into a private hospital since her mothers past. Amelia was packing slowly for the trip there, it was hard with such a bump but she knew she had to get it done. She snapped Rakiem to ask if he had packed and was ready to come over.
As per usual, Rakeim had been up most of the night stressing and just getting his bag packed and ready to go to the hospital with Amelia. He even packed some baby items which they would most likely need when they got there. He always had to be prepared. He was lounging on the sofa, TV playing but distracted gazing at his phone when he got the text. Yeah, course babes. I'll be there in 10 mins xxx he texted jumping to his feet and heading off with his bag to his car. Once he arrived there. He knocked on the door.
Her dad opened it with a smile "Ah welcome..big day today"He murmured "Shes upstairs..might need your help"He patted his back some before he got his own stuff ready. Amelia groaned gently as she reached for things too low down "Crrap!"She huffed "No good.."
Rakeim beamed to her dad, excitedly nodding. "Yeah... Can't wait for our little boy to come." Before walking up the stairs to help her. With a sigh, he entered the room. He looked tired and exhausted but had an happy glow, despite his dark circles. "Need some help baby girl? Just relax and tell me what to get okay?" he picked her up laying her on the bed as he started to finish packing for her. He didn't want to risk her or the baby as they were so close to the birth, and anything could happen.
Amelia sighed "Thanks baby.."She was anxious as hell, her mom had died..so she was worried that she might not make it. So was her dad, he had made her go private since it was the best option. "Im real excited..but nervous.."She sat up some and finished her tea.
Rakeim had finished the packing now, and looked up at her as he sipped up her bag letting out a little sigh. "So... You don't mind my mum coming do you?" he asked a little hesitantly, anxiously rubbing his neck. "She said she wants to come and support you too... Reagan's at a friend's house... So it'll only be her." he spoke softly, hoping Amelia didn't mind about Ella coming. He couldn't necessarily tell his mom no could he?
"Im sure it will be ok"She didn't mind much but she didn't want to embarress herself around his mom. Her dad honked his horn signalling it was time to go. The girl put her hair in a bun as she grabbed a coat and got her handbag "Here we go.."She started her careful walk downstairs and to the car.
Rakeim nodded helping her down the stairs and into the car, he carried their bags to the trunk outing them in before sitting down by her side in the back seat. He was already anxious and nervous, not wanting her to be in too much pain. He texted his mother telling them they had set off and that she should set off in the next 15 minutes. "Today's the day, babes," he squeezed her hand gently. "Our little man's gonna be here!"
"Woo"She said a little sarcasticly as she stayed in the back. She wasn't really ready to be a mum, but she would try her best. Once there she was booked in to her suite and she laid there as the doctor injected her "This should induce you..if it doesn't work within 24 hours then we try again..after that its a C-section.."They told them. Amelia nodded and the doctor left. "Can I get my pillow Rakiem?"She asked gently as she looked at the tube in her hand.
Rakeim nodded getting her the pillow and fluffing it up as he gave it to her, shortly after Ella arrived and sat down on one of the seats a smile on her face as she gazed at Amelia. "Don't worry love, it'll be fine." she said comfortingly squeezing her hand. "Don't worry, you're strong and you'll get through this and have your own baby boy."
Rakeim nodded at his mother's words gently stroking through his girlfriends hair. "I'm here every single step of the way babe."
Amelia relaxed on the pillow "Yes well lets hope that these chemicals work so I can meet him soon.."She breathed with a small smile, happy to have them all here. "Im sure Regan will be super excited..after waiting so long.."She hummed, her dad Held her other hand. Chuckling some. He had met Rakiems familys once or twice and they were nice people. He wondered where Rakiems dad was, but he didn't mind mentoring him some "Just wait for the dirty nappies..then you will wish you waited longer."He joked.
Rakeim nodded, grinning but a slight teasing smirk across his lips as they spoke of his little michevious sister. He just knew she was going to be thrilled. She had been excited for so long. "Yeah... Reagan's gonna love him. But damn... I feel old! Dirty nappies?!" he looked over a look of horror and shock on his face as he joked. "I never signed up for this!"
Ella laughed some, happily rolling her eyes at her son's behaviour. Her eyes on Amelia's dad. "Yes... But they will be happy won't they with all of the sleepless nights and no time to party?" she smiled good-naturedly. She couldn't wait to be a grandmother but just wished that her grandchild could know his grandfather. But that would never happen. His grandfather was a criminal, in a gang... Convictions. He just wasn't right for a child to be around. They were only kids when they got together and were on and off for over 14 years until Ella became a single mother when she knew she deserved better.
Amelia laughed gently at his face "Oh yes..the crying..the feeding..the bath times.."She breathed "Im not ready but at least we have you two to help us.."She felt some pain, knowing it was natural she just breathed through it. Being strong since it wasn't bad yet. Her dad laughed some "Im sure..but you know..if you guys get too stressed me and Ella don't mind giving you a night off for your relationship"He offered.
Rakeim still had that same expression on his face for a couple moments longer before he just pouted a little squeezing Amelia's hand to relax her. "Yeah babe, see... We can still have a fun and loving relationship. My mum and your dad don't mind looking after him, see?" he says kissing her cheek.
Ella nodded smiling widely, eyes bright and lit up. Of course she wouldn't mind! The little boy was going to be her grandsons after all. " Yeah, I'd gladly come around to yours to help your dad or he can come along round to ours, because Rakeim did have many sleepless nights building that nursery there," she reminded them.
Amelia hummed "Thanks guys.."She breathed gently as she laid on her side to get rather comfy again. "I think I need some water..did we pack some?"She asked and her dad sat back "You could have a date night each month, me and Ella can switch months on looking after our grandchild.."He murmured "Great plans.."
Rakeim nodded passing her some water from her bag with a little smile, as he bent down to kiss her forehead and play with her hair. "Here.... Don't those plans sound great? " he mused to her, wanting to keep her mind of any pains. Ella nodded to her dad then to Rakeim and Amelia. "Yes... I don't mind babysitting whenever I can really, and I assume Reagan would just love to help too!"
Amelia huffs "Its a really lovely plan..I can't wait...ah.."She mumbled clutching Rakiems hand a little harder. She loved them being around her and such. She felt better with their support. Her dad noticed "Think its gonna start soon..Your gonna feel mild pain and then your waters will break and thats when you gotta be strong"
Rakeim just held it tightly, bgently tracing it with his fingers to calm and relax her. He just hoped this wouldn't last long and that she wouldn't be in too much pain, she already looked like she had aching. "Stay strong babes..."
Ella smiled from her perch on one of the chairs, getting up to hold her shoulder gently and soothingly. "It'll all be over soon. Don't worry yourself it'll just hurt you more if you stress. Trust me I know, I was fifteen when I had Raki."
Amelia hummed and looked up at her "Stay calm, cool and collected I got it.."She was saving all her strength for when the time came. It would be another hour till her waters broke, thats when a doctor came in to help. Amelia sat up taking in gas and air as she pushed. Her dad stayed by the wall to give the couple some space as he encouraged them.
Rakeim tugged her hand tightly, urging her on to push whispering sweetly into her ear gently. He told her how special she was to him and how he knew she was going to be the best mother ever. "You can do it babe... Keep pushing, look his head. He's crowning, my love! Just a few more pushes..."
Ella stepped back to the wall with her father and gave him a small, weary smile. "He's almost here."
