Ellie's POV - 1 months later

I'm getting really scared, the baby is due to be born any minute now and I'm not prepared for this at all. Jaime is keeping a close eye on me with everything I do just incase something happens to me or the baby. I literally can't do anything for myself properly anymore because my massive bump gets in the way, it's all a bit of a struggle. Even Megan had started to help me from time to time which has made my life so much easier.

"Babe, I'm just popping to the shops quickly, I'll be 15 minutes max" Jaime said to me as he entered the lounge. I was sitting on the couch watching some shitty chick flick that I found on the TV.

"Okay, can you also get me some ice cream while you're there pretty please?" I asked sweetly while giving him the puppy dog eyes because I know he can't say no to a pregnant lady with the puppy dog eyes. I've been craving ice-cream a lot recently, my baby sure has a sweet tooth.

"Of course I can" He smiled. He then leaned down and pecked my lips.

"Bye" I shouted as he left the room. I heard a faint bye shouted back then the front door slammed shut. I was now home alone, this is the first time in a very long time that I've had proper time alone without anyone interfering or checking up on me every 5 minutes, it feels nice. Megan has gone to see Josh for the day because she hadn't see him in a long long time. And by the way Josh's girlfriend finally had her baby, she had a cute little girl and called her Poppy. She's the cutest baby girl ever, it makes me more excited to have my baby now, I just wish it would hurry up already.
I started to tear up at the stupid film when it gets to the emotional parts of the typical chick flicks, I always do. As I was sitting there watching the ending I started to get really bad cramps in my stomach, I started to fidget and feel proper uncomfortable, it just wouldn't go away. All of a sudden I felt something dripping down my leg, fuck my waters just broke. I started to really panic because I was all alone with no one else in the house to help me. Why does it have to happen now? Why now of all times it could happen? I slowly stood up off the couch, still in a lot of pain from the small contractions that I was beginning to have and grabbed my phone from the counter. I quickly scrolled through all the contacts until I found Jaime's name and clicked on it. On the fourth ringing he finally picked up.

"Hey babe" He answered unaware of the news I was about to tell him.

"Jaime, my waters just broke and you need to get home right now-Arghh!!" I suddenly shouted out as the pain started to grow more and more intense in my stomach.

"Okay baby, I-um need you to breathe in and out really slowly for me and I'll be home as soon as I can, hold on El" He rushed out, you could tell by his voice that he had started to panic too which didn't make me feel any better. He then hung up and I sat back down slowly. My breathing got heavy because I started to full on panic, Jaime seriously needs to hurry up. I began to breathe in and out slowly as Jaime told me and that helped a little but not much, was still panicky. The pain was on and off for a while till I heard the front door open and immediately Jaime rushed into the room and helped me up.

"How're you feeling baby?" He asked.

"It's fucking painful Hime!" I whined as we walked out the door, well for me I was more like waddling. Jaime then opened the car door and helped me in. He then hopped in and sped off to the hospital.
All the way there I was crying in pain and squeezing Jaime's hand when it got really bad. I could see by Jaime's face that I hurt him a little bit but if I can go through child birth then he can put up with me squeezing his hand for a while. He didn't complain though.

~~~

When we arrived we rushed into the hospital and Jaime called out for a nurse to help me. Everyone started to fuss over me and it was quite overwhelming, too many people were surrounding me at once,I didn't feel comfortable at all. One of the kind nurses brought a wheelchair for me to sit in then wheeled me into a room, away from the chaos. They told Jaime to stay outside till they had got me sorted, he protested at first but they still wouldn't allow him to come in so he patiently waited in the waiting room. The nurse whose name was Mandy helped me change into a gown and helped me lay on the quite comfortable bed.

"Ellie, how far apart are the contractions?" She asked me.

"I don't know about 5/6 minutes?" I guessed because I wasn't exactly going to time how far apart my bloody contractions are was I? She nodded her head then went to walk out but I wanted her to let Jaime in so before she left I called her name and she spun round to look at me.

"Can you please let my boyfriend Jaime in with me?" I begged. I didn't really want to be alone when I'm like this.

"Of course sweetie" She smiled and left. Pain started to come back and I shouted out a few curse words by accident. Then Jaime entered the room with 2 cups in his hand.

"You do know that everyone can hear you shouting from down the corridor?" He chuckled.

"I'm sorry but contractions aren't the nicest thing to be put through" I replied in a bit of pain. He then sat next to me and held my hand, I squeezed it again as the pain got far worse.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck" I cried out.

"Breathe slowly baby, just think about when all of this is over, me and you will have a beautiful baby son" He smiled. I pictured it all, all 4 of us as a happy family and I forgot all about the pain.

"Thanks, that actually helped" I smiled until the pain crept back. I started to cry and Jaime began to sing to me. His voice was making me feel a bit better then a doctor who I'd never seen before came in and smiled at us.

"Hello Ellie, I'm Dr James and I'll be your doctor today. Can I just check and see how everything is?" He asked and I nodded my head slightly and allowed him to check me. I hated it when doctors did that because it was uncomfortable but it was their job so I had to let him.

"Well, I think in about an hour or two you'll be ready to give birth" He smiled. I cried out again as more pain began and he asked me if I wanted anything stronger for the pain, which I obviously said yes to and he left the room.

"The pain is so much more worse than last time!" I said.

"All you have to do is breathe in and out slowly baby" He said and squeezed my hand in reassurance.

~~~

After about an hour the pain had got far far worse if that was even possible and Jaime was still sitting next to me whispering cute things in my ear to make me feel better. Everyone and when I mean everyone I mean my mum, my dad and all the guys are here because Jaime called them. My mum started to panic and kept asking if I was okay, if I'm honest she made me feel worse by asking repeatedly but she was super excited just like everyone else. My dad and the guys were calm and were just excited to meet the little guy when he arrived. Jaime then rang Josh to tell him what's happening but told him not to tell Megan yet because we wanted it to be a surprise for her when we brought the baby home.

"Are you okay sweetie?" My mum asked for the hundredth time.

"Mum do I love you but stop asking me that bloody question!" I said more aggressively than I planned for it to come out but when you're in as much pain as I am in you would be annoyed. She backed off and apologised, now I feel bad.

"I'm really sorry mum but when you ask me over and over again if I'm okay it just makes me more stressed" I explained as calmly as I could.

"I understand hun" She smiled and kissed my head. The pain was getting too much and I started to full on cry, I just want it to end now. My dad then came up to me and hugged me as well as he could to calm me down.

"I'm so proud of you Ellie, I know that I don't tell you that enough but it's true, you've become a great young woman and an amazing mother for Megan and no doubt you'll be just as good for this little boy when he comes, I know that you can do this" He said. That's the first time my dad has ever said anything like that too me, I was actually lost for words.

"I do love you dad" Was all I could say.

"I love you too sweetie" He replied and hugged me slightly.

"Okay, it's time Ellie, can everyone but her boyfriend leave the room please?" Dr James announced as he entered the room. Panic really started to kick in and I began to worry.

"You can do this" My dad whispered into my ear then left the room with everyone else. I took a deep breathe, kept thinking of my dad's reassuring words, I can do this. I then looked at Jaime. He gave me a reassuring squeeze of my hand and then Dr James told me to start pushing.
The pain was actually ridiculous, I was crying, screaming and sweating all the way through and I'm sure I broke one of Jaime's fingers from how hard I was squeezing them, but he didn't complain one bit. He kept telling me how well I was doing and how proud he was of me all the way through, which made me keep going.
After all the screaming and crying I did the pain stopped and I finally heard the sound of a crying baby, that's all I've wanted to hear all day.

"Congratulations, its a little boy!" Dr James smiled. Me and Jaime looked at each other and we both smiled. I was out of breathe and sweating a lot from all the pushing I did, all the strength I had was kicked out of me.

"You did it baby, I'm so proud of you!" He said and kissed me softly. I looked over and caught a quick glimpse of my baby while they were cleaning him, he was so tiny. Then a nurse came over to me with him in her arms and smiled widely.

"Would you like to hold your son?" She asked. I nodded excitedly and she placed him gently in my arms. He was so beautiful, he had Jaime's eyes and my nose and lips, he was the perfect combination of us both. I just stared at him with utter delight, I didn't know what to say. I took hold of his tiny hand in mine and smiled, he was the cutest baby I've ever seem, I can't believe me and Jaime made him. Jaime looked over the moon as he watched me holding our son.

"Jacob or Archie?" He asked. I looked back down at him and smiled.

"How about Jacob Archie Preciado?" I suggested with a grin. I thought it was just right for him.

"I love it, it suits him perfectly" He smiled.

"You want to hold him?" I asked. He nodded happily then I passed him over as carefully as I could. Jaime held him so gently like he didn't want to break him but he looked so happy when he had Jacob in his arms.
Everyone else joined us after a while and they were all fussing over Jacob. Tony was really scared to hold him at first because he didn't want to hurt him but I reassured him that nothing bad would happen and he held him, his eyes sparkles with joy when he held Jacob. Vic and Mike were so excited to meet him and my dad was crying slightly, I've never seen him cry until now, it was sweet. My mum was a mess but she was also crying happy tears.

"He's such a cutie" Mike smiled.

"He's adorable guys" Tony said happily at the same time as Mike did.

"I know he is!" Jaime replied with a massive smile on his face. I can tell Jaime's going to protect Jacob with his life.

My life couldn't be better, I now have my son and he's absolutely perfect, I'm so happy that my life has finally fell into place. I was completely exhausted and I had no energy whatsoever, this was all so tiring. All I did was fall asleep straight after that and left Jaime in charge of looking after Jacob for a while so I could rest. Everyone else left soon after and left me and Jaime alone with our new born baby, I couldn't be happier right now. I just can't wait for Megan to meet her new brother, she'll be so excited.
