Finally! Here it is!
Chapter 36: And Baby Makes Five
Luka got the girls dressed as Abby made her way to the door. Luka could not seem to get their coats zipped up and by the time Abby got to the door, they still weren’t zipped up. She started to bend down to help Luka zip up Gabby’s jacket when another pain hit her. “Ahhh!” she said suddenly, and Luka jumped up suddenly with the twins in his arms.
“Are you okay Abby?” he asked frantically. She held up her hand and nodded. “Are you sure? The contractions seem to be only about four minutes apart now.” She nodded again, breathing heavily. The contraction was still not over.
“Mommy? What’s wong?” Taylor asked her mother, who seemed to be in a lot of pain.
“I’m fine sweetie. The baby is coming.” She said through gritted teeth. She exhaled when the contraction was over and said, “Luka, take them to my mom’s first. And make sure they have their blankets. It’s still really cold.”
Luka hurried next door to Maggie’s place and dropped the girls off in a rush. He knew that the baby was coming soon. He kissed each of them and told them that when he and Abby came back they would be big sisters. When he walked back to their apartment, Abby was sitting on the couch, squeezing a stuffed animal as another contraction hit. “Abby, how long ago was your last contraction?” he asked as he practically ran toward her.
“I haven’t been checking the time Luka! Ahhh!” she screamed. Luka offered her his hand in place of the teddy bear and she took it willingly. When the contraction was over, Abby began to get up and walk to the door. They made it inside the car and Luka sped off to the hospital.
Luka turned onto Lake Shore Drive and realized that he had made a big mistake. The traffic was at a standstill. He looked over at Abby, who looked back at him with the same gaze. “It’s going to be fine Abby. I’ll get off at the next exit.” He said. She only nodded.
After ten minutes and two contractions later, they still had not moved in the traffic. When Abby’s last contraction ended, she said frantically, “Luka…I really don’t want to have the baby in the car. Am I going to have the baby in the car?”
“No. You’re not going to have the baby in the car Abby. The contractions are still four minutes apart.” He said, half-heartedly, not entirely sure himself.
Another fifteen minutes went by and they had moved about five car lengths down the drive. Abby was looking more nervous as she stared out the window. “Luka…what is going on?” she asked.
“I don’t know. We’re almost at the first exit. We’ll get there Abby.” He said just as another contraction hit her. They were much stronger now. He could tell by how tightly she squeezed his hand. He could feel his knuckles rubbing together.
“I think you should check me.” Abby panted through the contraction.
“What?” Luka asked.
“Check me!” she screamed.
“Okay. After this contraction.” He said and waited until it was over. He went into the bag that Abby had packed days before and grabbed a pair of gloves. He helped her slide her pants down and he checked to see how much her cervix was dilated. He looked up to her and said, “Eight centimeters.” Abby gasped and began to shake her head.
“Luka…I don’t think we’re gonna make it.” She whispered.
Luka took one glance at her, saw the pain and fear in her eyes, and then looked at the shoulder of the drive. He smiled, “We are going to make it Abby. Hold on now.” He said as he pulled the car from the right lane and onto the shoulder. He sped down as Abby screamed. He gave her his hand.
“Luka!” she yelled as another contraction hit, “I didn’t mean do something illegal!”
“Eh. No one saw us.” He said as he exited and made his way to the hospital. “Now, the question is, do we go through the ER to get to the maternity ward, or take the long way?”
“I think we have to go through the ER.” She said as soon as the last contraction was over. He nodded and continued driving as fast as he could through the streets of Chicago.
They made it to the ambulance bay ten minutes later. Luka ran around the car and opened the door for Abby. She was panting again, her hair was matted to her face, and beads of sweat were forming. Luka spotted Malik and Haleh, presumably on their break, as they were sitting on a bench, eating a sandwich. “Malik! Haleh! Can you help us please?” he asked as he waited for Abby’s contraction to be over.
They turned and saw Abby in the passenger seat and Malik ran into the ER to get a wheelchair. Haleh ran over to them and smiled. “How far apart are they now?” she asked.
“About two and a half mintues.” Luka said. Haleh’s eyes widened.
“Why did you wait so long Luka?” she asked.
“Me? We were stuck in traffic for a half hour! And she was moving along so quickly!” he said, wincing in pain as Abby squeezed his hand harder. “Abby…breathe!”
“I AM breathing Luka! Owww!” she yelled. Just then, Malik came back with the wheelchair and Luka helped Abby up.
“Hey doc, I’ll park your car if you want. Save you some time.” Malik offered.
“Thanks Malik.” Luka said, as he helped Abby into the wheelchair, tossing the keys to him.
“Luka…I think the baby is crowning.” Abby said through gritted teeth.
“What? The baby is what?” Luka questioned.
“I think the baby is crowning!” she yelled as the pain intensified.
“Luka, I don’t think you are going to make it up the ward.” Haleh said softly. “The last contraction was only about two minutes ago and Abby is screaming as if all hell broke loose.”
“What’s open? And who’s here?” he asked.
“Trama one is open and Susan…” Haleh managed to say before Luka cut her off.
“That’s fine. Please get her over here!” he said frantically, pushing Abby faster. Haleh jogged over to the admin desk to get Susan.
“Luka! Hurry!” Abby shouted as the pain intensified.
“Okay…okay. Remember to breathe, Abby. Hee hee hoo. Hee hee hoo.” He said, trying to calm her down. She echoed his breathing and clutched her belly.
Luka wheeled her into the trauma room and lifted her onto the bed. The contraction was finally over, but she could still feel a burning sensation. “Luka, I need to push.” She gasped. Her breath was shallow and rapid, and her face was dripping with sweat. Luka knew that she was in a lot of pain, possibly even more so than with the twins. “Luka…focus! Help me with my pants!” she yelled as loud as she could through her rapid breaths. With that, Luka placed a gown over her body and gently pulled down her pants. Haleh and Susan walked into the room and Susan laughed. Haleh began to set up a screen.
“What’s…so…funny?” Abby asked.
“Bet this is the last place you wanted to have your baby.” Susan said jokingly.
“Ugh!!! Luka!” Abby shouted.
“Susan, he’s crowning! Hurry up!” Luka shouted, grabbing Abby’s hands as she trembled with pain. Haleh pushed over a stool and attached a monitor to Abby’s belly. Susan sat down and snapped on her gloves.
“I see a head of dark hair Abby. You’re doing amazing! Okay, when you’re ready start pushing.” Susan said as she helped Luka push her legs back.
“Here comes another contraction sweetie.” Haleh said, and helped Abby hold back one of her legs.
Abby started pushing and screaming. “Ahhh!”
Luka braced her back and encouraged her, “You’re doing great Abby. I can see his dark hair!”
Abby stopped and gasped as soon as the contraction was over, reaching down to touch his hair. “One more push and his head will be out.” Susan said. “And here comes another one. Push, Abby, push!”
Abby pushed with all her might and finally his head was out. “Head’s out! Stop pushing Abby. Breathe.” She said and suctioned out his mouth. Luka smiled and kissed her forehead.
“You’re doing so well honey.” He said and took her hand in his.
“Deep breath Abby, and on your next contraction push this little guy out!” Susan said. Abby nodded, unable to do anything but focus on her breathing. On the next contraction she pushed and pushed. “Good job. Give me five counts more. Five, four, three, two, one. And here he is!” Susan said as she lifted the crying baby onto Abby. “He’s beautiful!”
Abby began to cry and kissed the baby’s head. “Welcome to the world, baby. I love you. You look just like your Tata.” She said softly.
“Luka, would you like to cut the cord?” Susan asked. Luka nodded and took the scissors from her hand.
“I love you.” Luka said to Abby and then kissed his son’s head. “And I love you too.”
“I love you too, Luka, more than you would ever know.” She whispered.
“I think I do know. Look what you’ve just given me. Given us.” He said and looked down at the precious baby boy in Abby’s arms.
