The Gain

"Good. I'm trying hard not to cry." she chuckled a little. "These contractions are rough this time around."

Right as she said that, the doctor came in. "How are we doing?"

"These contractions hurt really bad." she said. "I just want to push already."

"Let's see." She went to check her again and frowned at Ellie, shaking her head no. "Eight centimeters. We're almost there." she said. "If you're not good to go in another two hours, we'll induce you."

"Can I just be induced now?" she frowned as she sat up a little to try and get comfortable.

"Lets try to wait this out." She said. "I'll see you in a couple of hours." she said and headed out.

He frowned. "I'm sorry."

She shook her head. "It's okay. I don't like that doctor." She frowned.

"You picked her." he chuckled and kissed her forehead. "She just doesn't want to jump the gun."

"I know but ugh." She pouted.

"I know." he kissed her. "Peanut is almost here."

She nodded after she returned his kiss and then rubbed her belly. "I can't wait. I wonder who she'll look like."

"She?"

She snorted. "Madison is convinced it's a girl, so it slips out sometimes."

"And if it's a boy?" he snorted.

"I hope he's handsome like his Daddy."

"Well thank you." he chuckled.

"Well thank you." he chuckled.

"You're welcome." she said. "Well, back to the waiting game." she sighed.

"We're closer than we were." he said.

"Thank god. If I was in this much pain earlier, I would have asked for the cesarean."

"Ah but you wouldn't have wanted that."

"It wouldn't have mattered at that point."

"Then you'd have to deal with the pain of healing from the cesearan.

"There's so much pain." she frowned.

"But it'll be so worth it." he kissed the top of her head.
