Tina shook her head. No, Im going to stay out here for a while. Shane nodded and got up. She walked back into the hospital.

            Mark was inside the room, trying his best to hold Christinas hand. Christina was breathing heavily, praying this child will come out. The doctor was at the end of the bed.

Alright Christina, when I count to three I need to push. Can you do that? She nodded. Alright, one, two, three!

Ahhhhhhhh! Christina pushed with all her might and fell back onto the pillow. I cant do this! I cant!  Mark rubbed the sweat off her forehead.

Cmon babe, you can do it. I know you can.

Get the hell away from me! You did this asshole! Mark backed away and continued to hold her hand.

Ok, Im going to count again Christina.

She cried loudly. Please I cant push! Get this baby out of me! The doctor looked up at Christina.

You gotta push one big push after three. One, two, three! Christina closed her eyes and pushed. She screamed at the top of her lungs and fell back again. I see the head. Mark pulled away and looked.  He became wide-eyed and looked at Christina. He walked back over to Christina and grabbed her hand. Come on, just one more push for me. You can do it, the baby is almost here.

Cmon babe, our babys almost here.

Alright, one more time, one, two, three! Christina sat up and pushed the hardest she could. She cried out loud and fell back. The sounds of a childs cry filled the room. The doctor smiled and looked the new parents. Its a beautiful, baby girl. Mark smiled and kissed Christina on her forehead.

Baby, Im so proud of you. I love you. Christina cried softly and looked at her baby in the doctors arms.

Would you like to cut the umbilical cord daddy? Mark smiled and walked away from Christina. He grabbed the utensil from the nurses hand and snipped the cord. The doctor smiled and handed the baby to the nurses.

I want to see my baby.
