One Hundred Sleepless Nights

I am huge. I can't move. The couch is my home. The hallway is my back yard. I have flowers in the form of empty food packets littering the floor. That's why Vic has gone shopping. He doesn't want to associate with the whale I have become.
Am I alone? Of course not, Jemma wouldn't let that happen. Kellin and Austin are on watch duty. But they're not doing a very good job seeing as they're in Vic's room playing his guitar. I wasn't invited to watch. I'm not musically minded apparently. Cope has been left with me though. She doesn't seem too happy about that fact though.
"Coco." I whispered. She looked up from where she was stacking empty jars of peanut butter and raised one eyebrow. Did I really expect her to smile? "Go tell Daddy we're fed up." I urged. She just stared at me. I handed her a chocolate coin from the couch and she got up and went to find Kellin.
"What's wrong?" I heard Kellin ask as he walked into the room.
"I'm fat!" I exclaimed.
"You're not." Kellin sighed.
"What's up, Zee?" Austin asked, now joining the party.
"I'm fat!" I repeated.
"You're just pregnant." he reasoned.
"I've got an idea! I'll go and make you some blueberry pancakes. They always make you happy." Kellin grinned.
"Oh, can I watch?" Austin asked excitedly. I glared at him and he shrugged. "My pancake technique has never been good." he explained.
"Go then." I mumbled and was once again left alone with Cope.
Just as I heard someone cry 'you've gone and dropped the spatula' I got a pain in my lower region. I brought my hand up to my stomach and breathed a little heavily. A few minutes later it happened again. But it hurt more this time. I tried to sit up and find my book but it hurt too much. I gasped and tried to signal to Cope who was none the wiser.
"Get my book!" I told her. She tilted her head to the side and handed me her copy of Sleeping Beauty. No you foolish child!
It's okay. I know it okay. They're just like before. I'm having Braxton Hicks again. Perfectly normal. But Braxton Hicks didn't really hurt... But I can't be in labour. I'm still early. It's okay. It'll be okay. Is this why Jemma made everyone take turns on watch? Just breathe in. Breathe out. I am in control of my body. I am strong. I am invincible.
"Fucking hell!" I screamed as another came.
"Don't swear in front of Cope!" Kellin yelled.
"Guys!" I called. I could hear them coming back. Kellin was wearing A hideous lilac apron while Austin looked like he'd taken a bath in the pancake batter. "I think we need to go to the hospital." I breathed roughly.
"Why?" Austin asked stupidly.
"I think I'm having the baby!"
"What!" Kellin gasped. "Are you sure? It might just be indigestion."
"It's not fucking indigestion." I spat.
"Okay. Okay. Okay." Kellin muttered and started pacing. Austin on the other hand looked absolutely terrified.
"What do I do?!" Austin yelled.
"I don't know! What do we do?!" Kellin yelled back. Austin grabbed my book which was on the floor and started flicking through it.
"There's so answers in here!" he said, obviously panicking.
"I need Kate," Kellin whispered. "I need Kate!" he yelled. "Shit. Fuck. Shit."
"For God's sake!" I huffed as I got another. "Grab my bag and take me to the hospital, you idiots!"
"Right. Right." Kellin said to himself. He ran in the direction of the kitchen and started opening cupboards. He's disorientated.
"My bag is in my bedroom!" I called. He then ran in that direction and disappeared as Austin helped me up. Kellin was holding my bad and forced Cope onto Austin. Austin who looked scared as ever when holding Cope ran for the door holding Cope out in front of himself like she was toxic.
By the time we got downstairs and to Kellin's car I was cursing from the pain, Kellin was phoning in to the boss (a.k.a. Jemma) as he drove and Austin I noticed happened to have a frying pan. "Can't you hurry up!" I yelled.
"I can't go through a red light." Kellin argued.
"Go through the red light." I demanded.
"Drive faster!" Cope yelled from the back.
"Yeah, drive faster." I agreed.
"You'll be okay!" Austin soothed. Easy for him to say, he still hadn't noticed he's brought a frying pan.
I gasped as I got another contraction. I held my stomach and gritted my teeth. I'm never letting Vic near me again. When I see him I'll kill him. Wait... "Vic!" I exclaimed. "Someone has to phone Vic."
"Jemma's on it." Austin reassured me.
We pulled up right outside the hospital. Kellin didn't bother to park but opened my door. He helped me out and we started walking inside. Austin brought along Cope who looked very excited about the whole ordeal. I tried to hurry to maternity but it wasn't working. I stopped and gripped onto the nearest thing to me (which happened to be Kellin's arm) to try and let up some of the pain. But it wasn't working.
Kellin urged me forwards and we reached a reception desk. "She's having a baby!" Kellin informed everyone in a five mile radius.
"What's your name?" the woman asked kindly.
"Kellin Quinn."
"She wasn't talking to you!" I snapped. "Zandra Knight." I informed her.
"How far apart are your contractions?"
"Three minutes." I replied.
"Okay, we'll have someone to collect you in a moment." she smiled.
I leant against the desk panting a little. I was told to go into room three. I went along following the midwife. I changed into a gown and Liz my midwife examined me.
"Oh, you're only four centimetres. You have loads to go yet!" she said brightly.
"Brilliant." I mocked.
"When did your waters break?" she asked.
"They're broke?" I asked stupidly.
"Yes, love." she said, obviously not used to my idiocy. When did they break? Oh my god I don't remember. I don't remember!
"Um... last night!" I lied.
"Okay, well I'm going to leave you for a while. Call if you need anything." she said and disappeared.
I need Vic. "Where's Vic?" I asked.
"Jemma can't get in touch with him." Austin sighed.
"Austin, I can't do it without him." I admitted. "Go find him!"
"Okay, okay." he told himself.
"And for the love of God put down that frying pan." I ordered. He nodded and fled from the room, without the frying pan I should add.
"I'll get you some water." Kellin offered and disappeared too. I looked around the room and sighed. I didn't like be alone. Right now I'd even be happy to see Alan who's about as much use as the Pope's bollocks.
"Zee!" Alan exclaimed. I spoke too soon. He walked into the room with a huge grin on his face. He came to kiss my cheek and showed me a bottle of tequila. "Something to numb the pain." he winked. The fact that you can't drink while pregnant seems to have gone right out of his little head.
"Where Kate?" I asked.
"She's coming in now. I beat her here."
"Congratulations." I rolled my eyes.
Then I gasped. They were coming and they were close together. Maybe I'm a bad person. Maybe I deserve all this. This is payback from nine months being period free. Maybe I am carrying the Antichrist. Maybe I will give birth to a Slytherin. It's all Vic's fault... the bastard.
One for when I went out with David Michael in high school because I had a crush on his brother.
One for when I pretended to be a lesbian when I was introduced to Falling In Reverse so they wouldn't come onto me.
One for sleeping with someone I hated.
One for not keeping my damn legs closed.
One for breaking up with the man I love.
One because I know he still loves me back.
"It's hurts." I cried.
"I know, sweetheart." someone soothed. I looked up and saw Kate.
"Help me."
"I wish I could." she kissed me on the head.

Notes

Hey! What did you think? Hint - it's getting close now! I think there will be two more chapters... I think. So boy or girl? Will Vic get there in time? Will Zee be able to do it? :)
