《Flatmates》47
Advertisement
It only takes maybe twenty minutes until the contractions are two minutes apart, and we can't wait any longer. We need to go to hospital.
Cal helps me down to his car, loads my bags in the boot and climbs into the drivers seat. It is the worst journey of my life, contractions ripping through my body every few minutes. Cal frantically trying both Harry and Lux's numbers over and over again.
Freezy dumps the car near the entrance to the maternity unit, and walks me in through the main entrance with my bags in tow. A friendly midwife greets me, and takes me to a side-room. Cal waits outside whilst she does an examination and hooks me up to a monitor, then he comes and sits beside me. Holding my hand and frantically texting everyone he can think of to try and find Harry.
'Five centimetres' I say as puts his phone back in his pocket.
'Is that good?'
'Well its halfway there.'
'So we still have time?'
'We still have time.'

'Harry where the fuck are you?'
'Alright mate, sorry had no signal. Whats up?'
'Jess is in labour! We are at the hospital and she is seven centimetres whatever the fuck that means?!'
'Holy shit. Make her hold on, I'm on my way!'
'I'm not sure it is something she can control mate, just hurry up!'
The relief I feel when Harry comes running through into the labour room that I have been moved to is unbelievable. I finally felt like I could breathe again, almost like I had unknowingly been holding my breath all of this time. The relief on Freezys face is also evident, whereas Lux just looked incredibly excited.
'We will leave you to it' Freezy whispered before slipping out of the door with Lux in tow.

Just forty minutes after Harry had arrived, our baby boy entered the world. Our little bundle of joy that we had waited so long for was finally here, snuggled up on Harrys bare chest.
'Congratulations!' Lux and Freezy whispered as they practically ran through the door to meet the newest edition to our strange family. 'So do we get to find out the name now?' They both sat on the edge of my bed, Harry standing and passing the bundle into Lux's arms. Freezy leaning over and stroking his tiny perfect face.
'Well, we had a slight name change at the last minute' I smiled, staring at my boys with pure love. 'He was always going to be Arlo James Lewis. But now, I would like to introduce Arlo Callum Lewis.' Their faces dropped as they both shot their heads up to look at me.
'For real?!'
'For real. I mean how could we not? Freezy was the first one to know I was pregnant - even before myself. Then he practically delivered him. It wouldn't be right other wise.
'Arlo Callum is the most perfect name' Freezy whispered as he took him from Lux's arms, planted a gently kiss to forehead then just sat and stared at him for at least a full ten minutes.
