The Twisted

I was walking around the room now. I'd been taken to the delivery suite. Mike was watching me anxiously as I held onto the bed frame. I breathed deeply when I felt another. It was for longer this time. I waited until it had faded and went to my bed. I collapsed on it and Mike came over. He tied my hair back for me and wiped my face. I looked at him and closed my eyes. "Not much longer," he told me.
"Didn't realise you were a doctor," I breathed.
"It can't be much longer. It's been a day,"
"I think I know that," I spat as another came. I got on all fours on the bed. I took Mike's hand and panted. He rubbed my back and handed me the gas and air. I pushed it away and he took it. When it was over I looked over and saw Mike with it. "What are you doing?" I smiled a little.
"Why haven't I ever had this before? It's free and available,"
"No, you'd just pretend to be sick to get it," I told him. "Mike, it really hurts," I suddenly told him.
"I know, babe," he soothed and rubbed my shoulders.
"I felt like I needed to push," I told him and lay on my back.
"Shall I get someone?" he asked urgently. I nodded silently and Mike got up.
"Don't leave me," I begged.
"Okay, Kay'," he smiled and stroked my hair. He pressed the nurses button and ran his fingers through my hair before wiping my sweat on the bed.
"Yes?" a midwife asked.
"I feel like I need to push," I muttered.
"Let me examine you," she said. I lay back and lifted my gown up. She got down to have a look and her eyes widened. "You're ten centimetres," she gasped.
"What does that mean?" Mike rushed.
"That you're ready," she told me. "This baby is ready to be born,"
"Shit," Mike muttered.
"When you get the next one I want you to push, Kayleigh. For ten seconds," she said. I felt it coming and grabbed Mike's hand. "Push," the midwife told me. I pushed as she counted. I'd never felt anything like it. It was so fucking painful. Why did it hurt this bad? "Nearly there. And again," she said as I got the next one. "I can see the head now," she told me.
"Okay?" Mike asked as I relaxed.
"You come near me with your dick again and I'm cutting it off and strapping it to your head," I rushed.
"Come on, babe," he soothed.
"Again," the midwife said. She got me to push and again and again. "Once more," she urged. I squeezed Mike's hand and he held mine as I pushed. I saw Mike's eyes widen and I looked down on the bed. Wrapped in a blanket was my beautiful baby. I brought a hand up to my mouth and the midwife passed me my baby. I held them close to me. I felt their skin on mine and I smiled. Mike looked over us and kissed my head. He held the baby's hand for a minute and I looked up. I saw him crying silently.
"You did it," Mike muttered and wiped his eyes.
"Yeah," I nodded.
"Congratulations on your baby girl," the midwife said.
"She's a girl?" I asked.
"Yes," she nodded.
"You don't have your boy," I told Mike.
"I don't care. She's so much better," he said.
"I'll get her cleaned up and I'll give her back to you," she said. I handed her to the woman and she went away.
"Come here," Mike said and pulled me to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he crushed his lips to mine. "I love you," he told me.
"I love you too," I smiled. The woman came back in with her. She handed her to me and I gently rocked her in my arms. "She's beautiful," I whispered.
"I'll give you some time," she told us.
"I want her," Mike told me. I awkwardly handed her to him and he cradled her in his arms. He looked down on her and smiled. He walked around the room with her and sat with her in the armchair. I could hear him talking to her and smiled lightly. "You're so perfect," Mike cooed. "You're like your mum. That means you'll be so beautiful and have all the boys after you. But I won't let them because boys can be dicks. Just like I've been a dick. I've never been enough, but I know I can be proud of you, girl. You're going to be so brilliant," he told her. I started crying he spoke. "You'll be so charming just like me. You'll be beautiful like your mum," he told her, his finger running over her tanned Hispanic face. "I can see it in those big blue eyes. You'll have such an attitude and you'll stand up for yourself. I'll teach you to play the drums. Uncle Vic and Uncle Tony will show you how to play guitar and Vic will get you to sing for him, because you're bound to sound like an angel. And your crazy Uncle Jaime will try and teach you stuff too, but it'll probably be just silly stuff. You will be perfect," he finished. I wiped my eyes and looked at them. They look so right together.
"Come here," I told him. "I want to hold my girl," I smiled. He handed her to me and I sat with her.
"Is it okay if I get the others?" he asked anxiously.
"Yeah," I nodded.
"You sure?"
"Yeah," I smiled at him. Mike walked out and I looked down on my baby. It was worth it. Everything was completely worth it. I heard the door open and saw Mike walk back in. He was followed by Vic, Abby, Tony, Jaime, Alan and Matty. I smiled at them and Mike came over to my side.
"This is my daughter," he told them proudly. "Your mum is driving up now. She's staying with my parents so we can go over in a few days," he told me.
"God, Kay'," Abby breathed. "She's so beautiful,"
"I know," I smiled.
"Can I hold her?" Vic asked. I nodded and passed her to him. He took her and grinned. "Hello beautiful," Vic said quietly. "I'm your Uncle. I know I might look like a girl, but I'm not. I promise," he smiled.
"Well done, Kay'," Matty told me and came to hug me. He squeezed me and smiled.
"Thanks," I told him.
"She's going to be so hot," Alan said.
"Watch it, Ashby," Mike warned playfully.
"She looks so much like Mike. Accept a lot prettier and she has Kay''s eyes," Jaime said.
"Have you got a name?" Tony asked.
"I don't know," Mike muttered. I went over to him and put my lips by his ear.
"Cassandra," I told him quietly.
"You sure? That was the name I chose when we first found out,"
"I know," I muttered.
"This is Cassandra Kayleigh Fuentes," Mike said proudly and went over to Vic to press a gently kiss to Cassandra's little head.
