"Breathe! Eliany, breathe!" Khloé is yelling taking me to the car. Robert hasn't answered his cell and I am already having contractions. They didn't start until after I finished eating and taking a shower.
"I can't go into labor now." I cry. Tears fall down my cheeks. Rob, I need you. Please answer your cell.
I start shaking from the nerves.
We finally get to the Mercedes G-Class and she helps me in. My mom is closing the door behind Daniela who has all of my hospital bags.
They get in after me.
"Eli, you need to calm down." My mom says getting in the back.
"I can't believe Rob isn't here." I cry in my shaking hands.
"He'll be here, we just need to get to the hospital. Breathe." Khloé finally gets in the driver's seat and speeds to the hospital.
Kourtney and Kylie are in the car behind, I think.
We go in from the back. The doctor, thankfully, was already there and the room was already prepared. He injected something for the labor. The injection is suppose to expand the labor. Meaning more contractions until Rob gets here. If he answers his cell.
"Daniela!" I yell from the bed.
She appears from around the doctor.
"Tell me baby. I'm here." She grabs my hand. My contractions are starting, again.
"Call Russo!" I breathed.
"I did, baby. He's waiting for someone to get Rob out of a meeting. He'll be here, Eli. Don't worry."
God. "It hurts!"
Daniela starts brushing my hair back with her fingers.
"I know, but at least for now, they're short. It'll end soon."
And at that it ended. The pain dragged away from my back to my upper back and then fades away. I breathe as if I have never breathed in my life.
"I get them every 20 minutes." I say quietly.
"I know." Her cell starts ringing.
My eyes widen. Is it Robert!? Daniela stands up in a swift, frantic.
"Russo! Do you-?" She stays quiet, listening. She stays listening and listening looking at the wall and the floor. Not saying anything to me.
"Daniela!" I say loudly.
She puts her finger up. Then she looks at her phone and hangs up.
"I heard Rob. He's arguing with someone but Russo only said that they're on their way."
"I have to wait four hours for him." Tears keep falling from my eyes.
"You have to wait almost 8 hours in general to have your baby." She says, not helping in any way with that.
I start crying, again. "I just want to have my baby and Rob here, already."
"Eli. You have to stop crying and calm down." My mom sits beside me.
After she started brushing my hair with her fingers, I relaxed. I even fell asleep.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Something isn't letting me sleep. And I'm too uncomfortable. I try moving but I realize that the machine that's connected to me is next to me ear. I flinch away from it.
When I move, a stinging pain rises again from my lower back to every part of my body. I'm having another contraction. My breath hitched as I tried calling out for help. Hands touch me, softly.
My eyes searched for the hands. Their Kris'. She's smiling at me, sweetly.
"Breathe, hunny. It's okay. I know it hurts." She says, soothingly.
I take deep calm breaths trying to rid my pain from around me. But it stays there, stinging, ringing and flowing around my torso and back.
"Robert." My voice broke.
"He's almost here. Twenty more minutes. You can do it."
But I can't. After that my contractions were more and more painful and they came fast, indicating that I am almost dilated to have my baby.
The only ones in the room were my mom, Kris, Daniela and Kourtney. For some reason, she hasn't left me alone, not even for a moment. Not her or Kris.
"Where's Destiny?' I ask.
"She's outside. I'll go get her." Daniela left the room.
Destiny was staying at a hotel that I offered to pay for, since I wanted her to be here, too. She got here three days ago, just in time for this. I haven't seen her since yesterday when she went back to sleep.
I tried making her stay at home, stay in the same room as Daniela, since I still have those air mattresses but she didn't accept. Said, it was better for her to stay at a hotel since she wants to be alone for a while. Can't blame her. She just went through the worst break up, she's ever had.
I cried with her when she got here and told me all about it. Now it's her turn to cry with me and receive her nephew or niece.
She walked in the room with a worried and sad expression on her face. "Hey." She breathed.
"Hi." My lips are dry. And I'm too tired. Destiny stayed standing in front of the door, worried.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
Everyone in the room including the nurse, leaved, leaving me and Destiny, alone.
"Nothing." She said while my mom closed the door.
She finally moved closer to me, sitting on the bed but too far. Next to my legs.
"Tell me." I closed my eyes shut as the contractions leaved my body for a good five minutes.
"You... You're gonna do great. And Rob is on his way, so is your baby. Just promise me that you'll be strong, okay?" She whispered.
"Sit closer to me, please."
Destiny thought for moments but eventually sat closer to me.
"What's wrong?" I place my cold hands on hers.
She let out a sad sigh. "You hate needles."
"I do."
She shakes her head. I know where she's going with this. We've talked about it when she got here. Actually, everyone has talked about it. Trying to persuade me into doing something I will not do.
Silence took over for a few minutes while I wait for her to say something. But I can see it in her face that she's pissed at me and won't talk now.
"I don't want an epidural." I say coldly.
"Eliany-"
"No! I will not let some random doctor or nurse inject my spine!" I argue causing another contraction.
