“Not always. I guess some people do, but I think they give you drugs and things to take the pain away, and that might slowthe process. I have no idea, I’ve never had a baby before.” Ness shrugs.
“You want to have a baby?” I ask her.
“You offering?” She smirks.
“You can have my sperm, babe, not my dick,” I tell her, which makes her burst out laughing.
“Well, that’s good to know I have a Plan B. Come on, let’s have some breakfast and wait for the call.”
“You think I should text the crew? She may not have had time to text everyone.”
“Yes. Let them know the baby watch has officially started. I bet Evan is freaking out.” Vanessa laughs.
“For sure. Sienna is going to be the cool, calm, collected one while giving birth, and Evan will probably be the one who faints at the first sight of blood, and then nurses will be fawning over him when he passes out.”
“That would be so Evan.” Ness chuckles again.
I pull out my phone as we walk to the kitchen and start making some breakfast. I let everyone know if they don’t know already that waters have broken, and it could happen anytime.
A little while later, Evan calls me.
“Did she have the baby? Is he here?” I yell, picking up the phone.
“No. She’s still in labor, she’s doing fine. Fuck, D, she’s incredible. The amount of pain she is in. I don’t know how she is doing it. I love her so fucking much.”
Aw, you can hear the reverence in his voice.
“Derrick, I’m fine. It’s not too bad. The drugs are good,” Sienna calls out. Evan switches the call to FaceTime, and we see Sienna’s tired but beautiful face.
“You look good,” Ness says.
“This little shit won’t come out. I love him, but he’s being a stubborn little bastard, and I think he is going to take after hisfather,” she says through gritted teeth. This makes Ness and me laugh.
“Seems like you’re coping just fine then,” I tease.
“Screw you. You’re lucky I’m flying high on the drugs, otherwise I’d be cursing you all out.” She winces.
“Oh my god, are you okay?” I ask.
Sienna waves off my concern. “Yes. Just a good contraction.”
“You can feel them while on the drugs?” Ness asks.
“Not really, but kind of. I’m just uncomfortable.” She moans.
“The nurse has come in to check on Si, we have to go,” Evan says.
“Good luck, we love you, can’t wait to meet little bean.” With that, Evan hangs up on us.
“Poor thing, she looks like she’s in hell.” Ness laughs.
“Love how panicky Evan is.” I smirk.
“Bet that is annoying her.”
“Yes. He will be trying to help her, and she’ll be like‘Will you fuck off. Don’t touch me. You got me in this position’,” I say, raising my voice to sound like Sienna. This has us both bursting out laughing. “This waiting game sucks.”
“I’m sure it won’t be much longer. Let’s get ready so as soon as we get the news, we can visit them.”
