into the bedroom and snags the bag from the end of the bed--then comes back out
to you- come on...let's go -puts an arm around your waist and helps you out to

your door and gets into driver's seat, quickly pulling out of the driveway and
heading towards the hospital--reaches over and takes your hand-
Caiden (8:36:04 PM):
-is breathing unevenly, my fingers tight between yours-
Phoenix (8:44:04 PM):
-gets
to the hospital after zipping through traffic and reluctantly lets go of your
hand to go get a wheelchair--brings it back and helps you into it, then wheels
you inside-
Caiden (8:45:14 PM):
-is gripping the arm rest sof the wheelchair-
Phoenix (8:47:07 PM:-goes up to
the nurse's counter and frantically explains what's going on-
Phoenix (8:50:08 PM):
-the
nurse leads us to a delivery room and leads you behind a curtain to help you
get undressed and into a gown--i stand nervously off to the side, biting my
nail-
Caiden (8:52:50 PM):
-the pain shoots down my back, getting worse by the second.
the nurse leads me out and to a bed-
Phoenix (8:56:09 PM):
-paces
back and forth as a doctor comes in and checks on you, asking you about
contractions-
Caiden (8:57:14 PM):
they-re really... close together... -breaths a little
unevenly-
Phoenix (9:07:23 PM):
-the
doctor nods and begins to set up instruments, then goes to wash his hands--i
come over to you and take your hand- you all right, love?
Caiden (9:23:07 PM):

fear in eyes-
Phoenix (9:27:56 PM):

your cheek softly- you're going to be fine, cai. im right here with you
Caiden (9:37:17 PM):
-nods a little. a nurse gives me a two shots for the pain
in both my back and in my abdomen-

your hair and leans down, whispering a song into your ear-
Caiden (1:03:26 AM):
-smiles at this, my eyes closing but still awake-
Phoenix (1:07:19 AM):
-rests

hair-
Caiden (1:24:11 AM):
-groans a little, feeling a small twinge of pain, mostly
very uncomfortable. i grip your hand-
Phoenix (1:26:12 AM):
-holds
onto your hand tightly, not stopping the song--it'll be okay-
Caiden (1:27:15 AM):
-hears the sudden wailing sound of a baby, my eyes open-
Phoenix (1:31:01 AM):
-blinks
a bit and looks down again to see the doctor holding our son in his arms, feels
ready to faint-
Caiden (1:31:36 AM):

Phoenix (1:38:56 AM):
-nods
a bit, grin on my face now-
Caiden (1:41:02 AM):
-looks over, my eyes completely trained on the baby the Dr.

Phoenix (1:59:09 AM):
-heart
beats hard in my chest as i watch the nurse take the baby to go clean him off-

nurse comes back over as soon as she is finished and after the doctor has sewn
you up--congratulations to the both of you-- she holds out our son to
you-
Caiden (2:11:52 AM):
-reaches up carefully, craddling the back of his head. i feel
my heart thud harder in my chest as i look down at him-
Phoenix (2:15:09 AM):
-comes
up next to you again and smiles down at him- wow...he's something else....
Caiden (2:16:13 AM):
-smile widens and i feel like I’m going to cry. i brush my
fingers over the top of his head gently-
Phoenix (2:22:43 AM):
-grins
at the little noises he makes and his hands moving slightly as his eyes blink
up at us-
Caiden (2:25:36 AM):
-makes a sound somewhere between an aww and a cry-
Phoenix (2:33:36 AM):
-glances
at you and smiles, tears in my eyes as i kiss your cheek- we made him,

at him, playing with his fingers-

Phoenix (3:38:57 AM):
-smirks-
oh it is, at the moment
Caiden (3:39:21 AM):
-lets out a sound closer to a giggle than a laugh-
Phoenix
(2:54:01 PM): -grins and then my attention is
brought back to Andrew as he lets out a loud squeaky noise-
Caiden (2:55:26 PM):
-smiles faintly, yawning a little-
Phoenix (3:07:24 PM):
i
think we should let daddy sleep, huh little guy? -grins at him-
Caiden (3:10:10 PM):
-hears a cooing sound and smiles still- i think he said yes

and kisses your forehead-
Caiden (3:13:41 PM):
-nods a little bit- dont give the other babies trouble,
drew...-smirks-
Phoenix (3:15:35 PM):

and heads out of the room, down to the nursery where i hand him over to a
nurse--takes one last look as they put him down and then goes back to your room
and comes to sit beside you again-
Caiden (3:19:03 PM):

Caiden (4:09:22 PM):

Caiden (4:17:24 PM):
-turns a little on my side with a wince, tucking our hands
under my cheek-
Phoenix (4:21:38 PM):
-smiles
softly, taking my free hand and stroking your hair- get sleep, love...i'll be

Caiden (4:22:03 PM):
-nods a little, closing my eyes and giving your hand a soft
squeeze-
Phoenix (4:25:14 PM):
