Deryck’s heart started to pound intensely as he made his way to where Avril was sitting.
‘Okay, it’s going to be okay’ he said, pulling the covers off Avril.
‘Get me to the hospital now’ said Avril.
‘Want me to carry you?’ he asked anxiously.
‘No, I can still walk. Grab the keys now!’ cried Avril as she inched to the side of the bed and pushed herself up.
Deryck snatched the car and house keys from the side table and quickly held Avril on her arms and walked her down to the car.
‘Hurry hun! Hurry!’ she shouted as she got herself into the passenger side of the car.
Deryck locked the door and dashed to the driver’s seat.
‘Okay here we go!’ he announced and stomped on the gas.
Avril was clutching her protruding stomach and breathing heavily.
‘Faster hun!’ she shouted.
‘I am! I am!’ he increased the speed. ‘Shit! Red light!’
‘Its starting to hurt’, Avril uttered. Deryck held her hand and kissed her forehead.
‘Breathe babe, breathe, in , out, in , out…’
‘Green!’ Avril prompted.
Deryck trampled the paddle and drove for about 5 minutes before reaching the nearest maternity hospital. He parked in front of the emergency entrance of the hospital and stepped out of the driver’s seat speedily. Avril swung the car door open and put her arm around Deryck as he slipped his arm under her knees and carried her into the hospital.
A few hospital attendants saw them and started to get help. One of them pushed a wheel chair toward Deryck and asked him to lay Avril on the chair.
‘We’ll get the doctor in a minute’ said the attendant courteously. She pushed the Avril into an empty room. Deryck strode next to the wheel chair, clutching Avril’s hand tightly.
‘Where’s the doctor!’
‘She’s on her way. Now just do as I say okay’ said the attendant. Avril nodded helplessly, her forehead was covered with tiny drops of sweat and her hair was tight up with tresses falling down her face.
‘You’re going to have to go on the bed’
Deryck helped Avril onto the bed and held her hands.
‘Okay now, breathe slowly, do it with me okay’. The attendant wore a name tag carved with the name Allen. She looked Avril in the eyes and began to conduct the breathing exercises with Avril.
Face to face they inhaled and exhaled over and over again until the doctor finally arrived.
‘How are we doing?’ asked the doctor when she got into the room.
‘She’s doing fine’ said Allen.
‘Okay, Avril I’m Doctor Smith and I’ll be in charge of your delivery’ stated the doctor as she scanned Avril’s belly with a stethoscope.
‘The contractions will increase every hour. It might take up to 8 hours before we could deliver the baby’ said Dr. Smith.
‘8 hours?!’ Avril jolted.
The doctor nodded with a smile, ‘First timer could take up to 12 hours. So it differs with every person’
‘Is there anything you can give me to stop the pain?’ asked Avril grimacing in pain.
‘Yes we do, but it’s not time yet’ said the doctor.
Avril exhaled and squeezed Deryck’s hand.
‘Excuse me sir, we’re going to need your help with the medical records’ requested a young nurse at the door.
‘I’ll be right back ok’ Deryck said to Avril and kissed her forehead gently. Avril nodded and continued to breathe deeply.
The pain worsened after a few hours and the doctor injected Avril’s spine with epidural to relief the pain.
‘Let’s move her to the delivery room’ the doctor said to nurse Allen.
‘Okay’
Deryck walked in as they began to push Avril out of the room.
‘I called your mum and the guys’ he said to Avril and walked along the nurse.
Avril could hardly talk with the excrutiating pain. She nodded and breathed.
‘They’re on their way’ he said and held her hand.
They reached the delivery room and the doctor turned to Deryck.
‘You’re coming in?’ she asked.
Deryck looked at Avril and smiled.
‘Yea’
