Page 61 of Omega for the Pack

Upon reaching the hospital, I rushed to the front desk with Tiana in my arms.

“Reason for visit?” asked the receptionist.

“She’s about to give birth,” I barked.Can’t these people see she was in pain?Everyone was moving so slowly.

They rolled her on a stretcher to her room, and I followed close behind.

When we entered the room, the nurses surrounded her. They immediately hooked her up to many wires and put her in a birthing position on the bed.

I pulled my phone out and called Tiana’s mother.

“Hello?”

“We’re in the hospital now. The baby. The baby might be coming tonight,” I said, trying not to trip over my words. My breathing was accelerated, and I was on high alert. I had to protect my pack at all costs. My omega.

I wasn’t going to leave her side.

Not for a moment.

Tiana

“Push,”said the doctor, looking between my legs. The doctor was a dark-haired young woman with a serious expression with her name badge sayingKeeraon it.

I was in way too much pain to listen calmly to her.

“I need pain medicine!” I shouted.

“It’s too late for that,” said Dr. Keera.

My legs were in stirrups, and Grant kept wiping the sweat off my forehead with a tissue. Tony and Sam were holding my hands on either side. The pressure between my legs grew as I pushed again.

The pain was ripping through me. I howled in pain, gnashing my teeth.

“I can’t do this!” I screamed.

“The baby is almost out,” said Dr. Keera calmly. “Take a deep breath and push as hard as you can.”

I braced myself and pressed down as hard as I could. It was like a basketball weighing down on me as I screamed.

The pain was overwhelming. Nothing I’ve ever felt before.

“My mom, call my mom,” I gasped.

“I did,” said Grant. “Keep pushing, Tiana. You’re doing so good, baby.”

“I can see the baby’s head!” shouted Tony as he rubbed my bare thigh.

That gave me the impetus to push again. My baby was almost out. But exhaustion pressed over me.

“Your mom is here,” said Grant, and relief washed over me. If I died during childbirth, she was here at least.

“Push, push, push,” encouraged Dr. Keera.

Tears streamed down my face from the glaring pain. I couldn’t do this.

I was close to collapsing.

“Tiana, sweetie, listen to me. Push,” I heard my mom’s voice in my ear. “Push Tiana.”
