The Gain

"Definitely." she said and then held onto the rail on the side of the bed, going through another contraction.

He sighed a little. "I wish there was something I could do."

"Unfortunately, you can't do much." she said as she let out a groan.

"We'll just wait it out."

"Mhm." she simply nodded and let out a breath as she passed the contraction, just wanting to relax herself as much as she could.

"Do you need me to get you ice chips? Food? Anything?"

She shook her head, just going to sit up. "Help me stand up. Maybe if I walk around a little, it'll help."

"Okay." he said as he helped lift her off of the bed.

She got to her feet and let out a breath. "That was some effort." she chuckled a bit. "Come on, we'll walk around the hallways and stuff."

"Sounds like a plan." he said and grabbed her hand, leading her out.

"I really hope this helps."

"I hear walking around is supposed to make the baby drop down faster."

"Then we're walking for the rest of the day."

"Just a little while longer, El."

"I know." she said. "I'll make it." she nodded.

"Then little Ella Sophia will be here. Or Aiden." he chuckled and kissed the side of her head.

"Or Sophia Ella." she said. "There's only room in the house for one El." she joked. "I'm excited though. I still have a hard time getting over the miscarriage and I think once I meet this little one, I'll be okay. Plus, I get to see who has been violently kicking me over the last couple of months." she chuckled.

"Maybe they have Punk's feet. Got something to tell me?" he joked.

She sighed. "Well..." She said then laughed and shook her head. "Ew, no."

"Uh huh." he chuckled. "Sure."

"I would never do such a thing to you." she said.

"I know that, little lady."

"Good." she said. "You think the baby dropped down more by now?"

"I don't know." he chuckled." how do you feel?"

"Still in a lot of pain, but I feel...calm." she nodded.
