Chance Ball Chapter 198: Baby Rush

“This baby is a chubber,” you grunted, “Koemi was such a petite little thing. This monster child weighs a ton.”

Dabi sympathized quietly as he watched you waddle out of the room and off down the stairs and smiled to himself.

“You know what? For all the shit I’ve been through, my life has turned out really well and I owe it all to Y/N,” he thought as he walked out after you.

You had stopped half way down the stairs and were looking down, well- trying to, onto the inside of your leg.

“What’s up?” he asked.

“There’s wet coming from somewhere…” you said, half to yourself, half to him.

“Where?”

“I dunno… I can just feel wet.” 

“Umm… maybe we should get you to the hospital?” he said, crouching down to see where you were trying to feel around under your belly.

He saw that there was a trickle of water running down the inside of your leg and was wetting your sock… with a slight tinge of pink.

“Yeah. Hospital,” he said with a firm nod, “you go to the car. I’ll get the bags and a towel for you. Koemi is still at prep so I’ll call your mum on the way to get her.”

“Well, you have it all organized, don’t you?” you commented with a little bit of pride in his calm demeanor.

“Got it it the bag, baby, let’s go.” He said, taking back off upstairs to get the bags before meeting you at the car door.

The trickle of water was still there so Dabi put the towel down on the seat and then helped you in, before putting the bags in the boot and getting into the driver’s side.

“Siri, call monster in law,” Dabi said to his phone that he had sat in the middle console.

“Calling monster in law,” Siri replied, followed immediately but the ringing tone.

“Hello?” your mum asked when she picked up, “how are you, Dabi?”

“I’m taking Y/N to the hospital right now,” Dabi replied.

“Oh gosh! Is she in labour?!” your mum asked excitedly.

“Hi mum, no, I’m fine, I think my waters may have broken, though,” you said.

“Oooo won’t be long then!” she said with delight.

“Could you pick Koemi up from prep today?” Dabi asked, “I don’t know if I’m going to be able to get there to get her if I’m with Y/N.”

“That’s fine,” your mum said quickly, “I’ll pick her up and bring her back home here until further notice. Keep me posted, ok?” 

“Will do,” Dabi said, “thank you.”

“Good luck!” your mum said to you.

“Thanks mum,” you replied before Dabi hung up.

It wasn’t a very comfortable ride to the hospital but you weren’t in any labour pain yet so that was nice. Dabi helped you out once you got to the other end and you waddled in with the damp towel in hand and a wet backside, and made your way to reception.  

They were expecting you, since Dabi had rung them on the way, and you were ushered into the doctor’s office for him to check you over.

After a quick exam he called for a wheelchair and sent you to the labour ward where you were put in a white gown and placed on a bed there.

Leads and plugs and all kinds of things were attached to you as they monitored you and the baby. The doctor had told them that there was a tear in your sac lining hence why the amniotic fluid was leaking out.

Baby seemed completely happy for the time being and just rolled and kicked around like usual while you rested on the bed.

“I still feel fine,” You said to Dabi as he sat beside you with a worried look on his face, “I haven’t had any contractions.”

“How are you feeling, miss Y/N,” the senior nurse asked as she walked in.

“I feel fine,” you replied.

“Any contractions?”

“No. Not yet.”

“Ok. After talking to the team, we think it’s a good idea to get bub out of there, so I’m going to apply some gel to your cervix and that should hopefully help you dilate and get things moving,” she said, walking back to the door and pulling a trolley cart into the room.

You eyed all the equipment on it and then followed instructions as she lay you back and inserted her fingers into you to apply the gel.

That part was uncomfortable, and you grunted with pain a few times before she removed her hand.

“We’ll just give that a little time to work and if it doesn’t, then I’ll have to rupture the bag myself,” she said calmly with a smile then left the room.

“Puncture the bag??? PUNCTURE the bag, she said it so calmly but man… what a psychopath,” you joked, “what does that even mean anyway?”

You didn’t have to wait long because, after another hour or so of waiting, she came back in to see how you were doing.

“Any contractions?” she asked.

“No,” you replied, shaking your head.

“Ok. Let’s speed things along a bit then,” she replied, pulling out, what looked to be, a knitting needle.

“Woah… hang on… where is that going?!” you asked, watching as she walked towards you. 

After a brief explanation, you found out that that is what was going to puncture the bag and as soon as she inserted it and you felt the waters break, that’s when things really started to happen.

Within 5 seconds you got a contraction and it was painful.

The next one after that was worse, and you grabbed for Dabi’s hand as you cried out in pain.

“Can we get something?!” Dabi called to one of the nurses who happened to walk in at that moment.

The nurse turned and ran out, calling for some other nurses to attend, and in no time the room was filled with medial staff and the bed was adjusted so that they could see what was happening between your legs.

You were too far along already for an epidural so they told you you could have the gas.

The second you were handed that pipe you dragged on it like it was life itself, while Dabi watched on with nervous confusion.

To him, everything happened so quickly, and before he knew it the baby had been pulled free of your body and the nurses were rushing to clamp the umbilical cord and take the little one away to be checked over.
