“Don’t push yet,” the doctor stated.
“I’ll remind you of this when you ask me for another child,” Drake stated. Natasha gripped his hand harder, “Ouch!”
“Okay girl, push!” the doctor ordered.
Natasha sat up, Drake moved to help her better and she pushed with a yell.
“Good, now hold that push for ten seconds,” the doctor said. He counted and at ten she breathed out, dropped back to the bed with eyes closed. “Good girl. Okay, again.”
This went on for what Drake thought hours. Every so often, he looked down to see if anything might’ve changed.
“Perfect,” Doc stated. “Now give me one small second, I need to turn the baby just a bit to make this go easy. Breath through it.”
Natasha nodded and took several deep breaths. Drake hated to admit it, but what he saw right now was starting to scare the shit out of him. He never knew what having a baby was all about. Never heard of the pain females went through and after seeing this wondered why they would do it over again.
“Okay Natasha, one hard push. Let’s get this baby out.”
Natasha opened her eyes, with Drake’s help sat back up and pushed. He counted with the doctor and watched as a dark head slowly emerged. Natasha breathed out took another deep breath and pushed again. Amazing! It was purely amazing watching his child come into this world.
The head came out and the doctor had her stopping for a second or two. Mouth and nose were cleaned out, and with another scream, Natasha pushed out the baby.
Drake didn’t realize he was holding his breath until he let it out with the birth.
“We have a boy!” the doctor announced.
Drake was handed a pair of scissors but he just stared at the child in awe as he was cleaned off and then gave his first yell. A tap on the shoulder and he quickly cut the cord. When Nelly took the baby, Drake turned his attention to Natasha. She was out cold.
“She’s fine,” The doctor put his hand on Drake’s shoulder. “It was a hard birth and normal for her to go right to sleep.”
Drake nodded, knelt down and kissed Natasha gently on the cheek, then forehead. “Thank you for my son.”
She moaned, turning her head towards him, “You name him,” she breathed. “Name your legacy.”
“Would you like to see your son?” Nelly had a small bundle wrapped in her arms, crying.
Drake took it and for the first time came face to face with his son. He had Drake’s dark hair and boy did he have a head full of it. When he opened his eyes, Drake got another shocker. The baby didn’t have blue, but dark eyes just like him.
“What’re you going to name him?” Nelly asked.
“Dedrick,” Drake said, staring at him. “Dedrick Allen Draeger.”
