♥ Chapter 66 ♥
Scarlett Volkov.
I wake up suddenly having felt a huge pain in my belly.
- Holy shit!!! - The contraction was so strong that I let out another groan of pain.
No! No! The baby isn't going to be born now, is it?
- Ahh!
I started to cry in pain, quickly reached for my cell phone with my trembling hands, I don't even know who I'm calling, I pressed the first corner I saw.
Calling...
- Love? What happened?
I heard your voice until it calmed me down a bit.
- B.... Ahh!
- Scarlett? What's going on?
He asked desperately.
- B-Baby... Ahh!
I said between moans of pain.
- The baby? What's wrong with him?
I couldn't answer, the pain was becoming unbearable.
- Baby? What's going on?
Russell asked calmly.
- R-Russell... I think the baby's going to be born now.
- What!
They both screamed at the same time.
- It hurts... It hurts a lot.
- We're leaving right now!
He ended the call, I squeezed the phone tightly after feeling another contraction, and my tears wouldn't stop falling. With a lot of effort, I managed to sit up in bed, started deep breathing and slowly let out the air. I pushed myself up and rested my hands on the desk in the bedroom and walked slowly. I kept leaning on the wall until I managed to get out of the room and suddenly I felt something wet my legs.
I can't believe it! My bag has just burst!
- Oh my God! - I kept leaning on the wall.
- Scarlett? - I looked ahead to see Harry.
- Harry... It hurts. - He quickly ran over to me.
- Holy shit! It'll be all right, I'll help you get downstairs.
- Mom? - Natasha froze when she saw my state, but then came running to me. - Mom!
- She's going to have the baby, Natasha. We need to help her down.
They were supporting me, I mean, it was Harry who was really supporting me.
- Harry, stop! - He stopped, I closed my eyes as the worst contraction came. - Ahh! I-I can't... Ahh!
- Scarlett! - I looked ahead to see the two of them entering the house.
- B, Ru. - They quickly ran over to me, Russell took me in his arms and slowly went downstairs.
- Bóris, call Marcos and let him know the situation. - He ordered.
- Right.
Natasha came with us to the car, Russell put me on his lap, I squeezed his jacket tightly when another wave of contractions came.
- Fuck!
Bóris got into the car and started it at high speed.
- Is Mom going to be all right? - Even in pain, I managed to smile at her.
- Yes... I will, my princess.
The whole way, I was trying not to scream in pain, but Bóris' son of a bitch had to drive over a pothole.
- Fuck! - Russell put his hand on my back.
- Try to calm down, baby. We're coming. - He tried to calm me down, but hearing his voice right now didn't help much.
- Russell won't talk to me! His voice annoys me! - I bit my lips hard.
- I'm sorry. - I feel sick right now, but I can't stay calm with this pain.
And the worst thing is that the pain keeps persisting. I quickly bit his shoulder hard, he didn't even seem to mind. I took several deep breaths, I felt the car stop and Bóris jumped out, opened the mouth of the car and took me in his arms. He ran into the hospital, and I was delighted to see that Marcos was already waiting for me with a stretcher.
- Put it here. - He carefully placed me on it.
- B! - I grabbed his wrist.
- It's going to be all right, my love. We'll accompany you. - He kissed my forehead.
I was taken away by Doctor Marcos, but I could see a nurse handing him some clothes.
- Try to calm down, Scarlett. - Marcos said, taking me to the delivery room.
The situation I was in was very serious, because the pain I was feeling was very strong. Unfortunately, I had to put on the hospital clothes because it would make the procedure easier. The nurses who helped me put it on, because I wasn't in any condition, carefully placed me on the delivery table.
- Baby! - I almost cried with relief when I saw the two of them enter the room. - We're here, my love. - They held my hands.
- Doctor, dilation is increasing. - The nurse said.
Marcos put three fingers in my vagina.
- It needs to be about 10cm, and the baby isn't in the right position yet. - I kept breathing rapidly.
I let out another moan of pain, and Marcos moved my belly, where the baby's head was, and tried to guide it in the right direction.
- It hurts too much! - They both squeezed my hands tightly.
Another contraction came.
- Shit! - Marcos checked again.
- It's ready, push, Scarlett.
I started to push the baby out.
- Ahh! - I squeezed their hands really hard.
- Harder!
I kept doing this for about ten minutes.
- I can't do it anymore. There's no way. - I'm tired.
- Yes, you can, your head is already out, push harder.
- I can't.
- My love. - Russell turned my face towards him. - You can do it, push harder, our son is already coming into the world.
I took a deep breath and shouted, pushing harder. Soon we heard a small cry.
- He was born. - I started to cry. - My baby boy was born.
The nurse wrapped him in a cloth.
- Do the parents want to cut the umbilical cord? - Russell and Bóris were very emotional.
Marcos handed the scissors to Bóris, he put his finger in one corner and Russell in the other, and the two of them cut.
- Our son is so beautiful. - Russell was crying. - Thank you so much, my love.
- I love you. - Bóris kissed my cheek. - You were a warrior.
The nurse put the baby in my arms.
- Hi, my love. - I kissed his forehead. - I want you to know that you are already very much loved, my beautiful Nikolai Volkov. - They both smiled.
- Welcome to the world, Nikolai Volkov. - They both said.
- I'll clean up the baby, he'll be in the room with you soon, ma'am.
I smiled.
I closed my eyes feeling very tired. Without realizing it, I fell asleep.
