Free Billionaire Baby Bump: Pregnancy Romance (A Billionaire BWWM Romance HAH Book 9) by BWWM Club, J A Fielding Page B

Listen
Julie. This is perfectly normal. We get cases of women giving birth
earlier than their due date all the time,” she said. Julie
nodded. “So, you need to relax because you are almost there.”
    Julie
took a long deep breath and leaned back on her pillow. Dana gave her
hand a reassuring squeeze.
    “ You’re
okay,” she said in a soft voice.
    “ You
are just saying that to make me feel better,” Julie said as she
took deep breaths.
    “ None
of my kids were born on time,” she laughed as she looked at
Julie. “You will be just fine,” she added just as Steven
walked into the room.
    “ Hey
you…are you okay?” he asked as he looked at Julie who
was now putting on a brave face. She tried smiling but she soon
cringed. “Okay we need to get her something…what can she
have for the pain?” he asked as he looked at Dana.
    “ An
epidural,” Dana said quickly.
    Steven
looked at Julie who was now nodding.
    “ You
better get me that darn epidural. Right the fuck now!” she
screamed as she grabbed fistfuls of the bedding. Steven looked at
Julie and then at Dana. He didn’t know whether they could both
see it but he was freaking out. He was still trying to figure
everything out when a nurse walked in.
    “ Thank
God you came. My wife needs an epi…that medication for pain,”
he struggled to say. The nurse smiled at him.
    “ If
you were not English, I would have hesitated but your accent makes
everything sound so good,” she said as she added another pillow
behind Julie. “So Julie, are you consenting to an epidural?”
the nurse asked. Julie nodded. “Alright. I’ll just wheel
you to delivery and administer the epidural there,” the nurse
said before she began wheeling Julie out of the exam room and into
another room down the hall.
    By
the time they got there, Julie wanted to scream. She had always
thought that labor was overrated but judging by what she was feeling,
it was as real as being hit by a train.
    “ Okay.
I’ll just need you to turn to your side,” the nurse said
as she prepared a syringe and catheter. Steven helped Julie turn over
and held her as the nurse warned about the pressure from the needle.
“You are being really brave Julie,” the nurse said as
Julie buried her face in Steven’s shoulder. She didn’t
realize that she was digging her nails into his skin. She leaned back
on the pillows when the nurse was done. There were small beads of
sweat on her forehead.
    “ Okay
Julie how are the contractions now?” the nurse asked as she
looked at Julie who was cringing as yet another contraction waved
over her. She was now breathing heavily and strands of her hair were
beginning to stick to her face.
    “ Fucking
intense,” Julie said. “How long is this supposed to
take?” she asked as she writhed in pain.
    The
nurse looked at her and smiled.
    “ Fifteen
to twenty minutes. That should give your muscles enough time to ease
up,” the nurse said before she walked out. Steven wished he
could take Julie’s pain away as he held her hand. Julie had
been so engrossed in her own misery that’s he never even
noticed that Dana was no longer in the room. She looked at Steven and
forced a smile.
    “ I
don’t even have any of my things here. I had packed my bag and
everything,” she said.
    Steven
kissed her forehead and smiled.
    “ I
already asked Chloe to bring it down here. You will be just fine,”
he said in a low voice.
    “ I’m
scared,” she said in a whisper.
    “ I
know but the baby is fine and so are you. There is nothing more
important to me than knowing that the two most important people in my
life are fine,” Steven said as he looked at her. Julie closed
her eyes again and leaned back against the pillows. Steven hated
having to see her in so much pain. He felt helpless.
    For
the next few hours, Steven was not sure whether he wanted to be by
Julie’s side but he knew that the best thing to do at that
moment was to stay by his wife’s side. Even though the epidural
was
