The nurse assigned to Tenley, who seemed more interested in Potter’s comfort, looked at Tenley and told her by no means should she try to push until the doctor arrived. If looks could kill, that nurse would be six feet under by the death glare that Tenley gave her. Alex swore if the woman put her hand on Potter one more time to “reassure” him everything was fine that Tenley was going to come up off that bed pregnant or not and kick the woman’s ass. Potter had been polite and calmly brushed the woman’s advances off. He never left Tenley’s side and constantly praised her as she got through each contraction.
Tenley leveled her stare at the nurse, and Alex knew that look and waited for it. “Well, how long does it take to get here? It’s not like this a huge town. Unless instead of cars, you all get around by horse and buggy. If that’s the case, then you better suit up because these babies are coming out.”
To ease some of the tension into the room, Alex got the nurse’s attention. “Why don’t you go check and see where the doctor is? If Tenley says she needs to push, shouldn’t that indicate we need a doctor, like yesterday? And, if he’s not close, maybe they can send a doctor from the ER up.
Thankfully the nurse had a sliver of brains and agreed. As soon as the woman was gone from the room, Tenley relaxed then turned to Potter. Alex was shocked to see tears streaking down Tenley’s face. Potter pushed the loose strands of hair that had escaped Tenley’s ponytail from her face and tucked them behind her ear. He took her face between his large palms and placed a kiss on her nose. For anyone who knew Potter, they only saw the large, serious, and broody man. Rarely did anyone get the glimpse of the gentle giant that he was on the inside. Alex knew when it came to Tenley; the man would bend over backward to give her what she needed.
“Honey, what are the tears for?” Potter asked her.
Tenley sniffled. “I’m sorry for yelling at you. I love you so much. Please don’t be upset with me.”
Potter’s expression softened. “Oh, baby. I love you too, and I could never be upset with you for expressing your emotions while giving birth to our children. I would take your pain if I could.” He leaned down and kissed her. Alex felt a little awkward listening to such an intimate conversation between the two of them. She tried looking away, but then she felt Tenley grab her hand. When she turned back, Tenley was looking at her. “Alex, thank you for what you did. That twatwaffle was starting to test my patience, and I was afraid that I would lose my cool and have to get out of this bed to deal with her. And, oh my goodness, wouldn’t that have been a sight. Me going all cavewoman on the nurse with a baby dangling from my lady bits.”
Alex couldn’t hold back her laughter. She laughed so hard that she cried. Even Potter was laughing. Then he bent down and whispered something in Tenley’s ear, and Alex thought it was a good time to give the parents a couple of minutes to themselves. As she excused herself from the room, promising Tenley she would be right outside, she couldn’t help but notice the black mass making an appearance between Tenley’s legs. Alex quickly stepped outside and went in search of a doctor. Thankfully, the search didn’t take long. By the time she got to the nurse’s station, the doctor was walking in. She quickly explained, and the doctor seemed a little agitated. On the way back to Tenley’s room, he apologized for his delay and explained that the details he was given made it seem that Tenley still had a while before she would go into full labor. Needless to say, Nurse Barbie wasn’t welcomed back into Tenley’s room.
After the doctor did a quick introduction with Potter and Tenley, he suited up and started barking orders to the staff that filled the room.
Looking up from between her legs, he gave Tenley a warm smile and said, “Okay, sweetie, I think these little rascals of yours are in a hurry to meet you.” Alex was pleased to see Tenley smile. Potter, on the other hand, looked ready for battle. But that didn’t surprise Alex at all. His eyes never left his wife. “On this next contraction, I want you to push. Push like you have to poop.”
The room went completely silent, and Alex wanted to laugh at the expression on Tenley’s face.
“What happens if I actually poop? Oh my god. That is disgusting, not to mention embarrassing. Tenley looked down at the doctor that sat between her legs. “Is there another way to get these little hellions out?” Alex couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. It must have been contagious because soon, everyone in the room was laughing, including Tenley. “Well, shit, let’s just get on with it because if I have endure this much pain any longer, I think I might just pass out.”
Alex held Tenley’s hand as another strong contraction hit Tenley hard. She pushed and grunted, and the doctor motioned for Potter to look at the action happening between Tenley’s legs.
“What is that?” Potter asked as his face took on a little bit of a green, sickly look.
The elderly doctor just smiled and said, “That, son, is the top of the head of your first baby.”
Alex really wasn’t sure what she was expecting from
