Johnny Depp's Misfortune (A Johnny Depp Fanfiction Story)

Ma Femme Chérie (138)

The evening of the 31st of August

Today was the same as any other day this far. Johnny and Leah's baby was still yet to come and Leah was honestly losing hope. Johnny had stopped Leah from roaming around too much just in case she fell down and hurt herself or their daughter so Leah remined in the house. Jack, Lily-Rose and Sean spent a lot of time with her as she stayed in the house, with Jacob, as well. Johnny bought Leah, and the new baby, a rocking chair because his ex, Vanessa, had one when Lily-Rose and Jack were new-borns and apparently rocking chairs are good for babies as the rocking motion helps them sleep. Leah quite liked the new chair and she made sure it was positioned by the window so even if she couldn't go out onto the beach, she could at least watch the beach from inside. Jack, Lily and Sean sat on the sofa. Jack and Jacob had an idea where they'd make up silly songs to try and make their sister come out.

"Come on, sis. Come outttttttt!" Jack jokingly sang.

"Come out so we can play with youuuuuu." Jacob sang along.

As the sun went down, dinner was made. Jack helped Johnny fry some chicken breast and boil some vegetables. Jacob had a tiny portion of chicken, carrots and broccoli while the adults had bigger amounts. Then everyone went to bed.

"Dad, do you think something might be wrong with Leah's baby?" Lily-Rose whispered as her and her father washed the plates in the sink.

"I think she'll be ok. I'm sure it'll happen soon-"

"But isn't the 31st of August a little late?"

"Maybe, but I'm sure the little one knows what's going on. She's probably just really warm in Leah's belly and doesn't want to come out into the cold world just yet. I'm sure she'll be here sooner than we think."

Everyone eventually went home and kissed Johnny, Jacob and Leah goodbye at the door. Everyone was praying for the baby to arrive soon, even Dan, Sean and Malcolm.

After dinner, Leah got into bed while Johnny went to use the toilet and peak at Jacob as he slept. Johnny then walked back and sat on the bed beside Leah. "Jacob is fast asleep now." Johnny removed his shirt, socks and shorts and laid down.

"Good." Leah remained sitting up, rubbing her belly. "Do you think she'll come later tonight?"

"I bloody hope so. She surely can't have any more growing to do in there, can she? Is she still moving around and kicking in there?"

"Yes. I felt her kick while we were eating dinner."

"That's good then. Let's keep our fingers crossed that she'll arrive soon then. I'm willing to bet $100 that she'll be here by this time tomorrow night."

"Ooh, really, Mr Depp?"

"Yes. If this little one is born between now and bedtime tomorrow night then you need to give me $100, if not, then I'll give you $100."

"I don't have $100, but I do have £100."

"Alright, £100 then. Do we have a deal?" Johnny held his hand out for Leah to shake it.

"Alright." Leah held Johnny's hand and gave it a firm handshake. "Deal!"

"Good. Goodnight, then?"

"Yes, goodnight. I better get all the sleep I can if this little girl is going to come out tomorrow."

"Indeed. Be sure to wake me if you feel anything, ok?"

"Ok."

Leah woke up to use the toilet at 3am on the 1st of September. While she was sitting on the toilet she felt a sharp pain near her ribs on either side of her body. At first she thought the pain was just the baby kicking until she got up, started washing her hands, and felt another sharp pain in the same area. Leah stopped washing her hands and held onto the sink for support in case she fell over. Leah tried not to make any noise in case she woke up Jacob or Johnny, so she stayed in the bathroom until the sharp pains were finished. After about 10 minutes, the pains stopped so she dried her hands and walked back to bed. Leah rolled around in bed for a while, but couldn't really get comfortable enough to sleep. She didn't want to annoy Johnny by waking him up over nothing so she just tried to close her eyes and focus on sleeping.

About 15 minutes later, Leah felt the sharp pains near both of her ribs again. It wasn't too painful, but they definitely didn't feel nice. Leah kept her mouth shut even though she was in pain and didn't open her mouth again until the pains had stopped. Like last time, the pains stopped after around 10 minutes so after that she tried to stay calm and sleep again.

20 minutes later, the pains happened again and this time felt worse than before. Leah felt like her insides were being ripped out. "Ow, ow, ow, owwww." She whispered. Johnny stopped snoring for a second and Leah cursed herself for waking him up. Johnny rolled over to his right side rather than his back and went back to snoring. "Thank god." Leah thought, "He didn't wake up." Leah really wanted these pains to end and deep down she was scared that this was the real thing. "This can't be real, it can't be. I was fine a few hours ago..." The pains started again. This time the pains went from the top of her bump all the way down to her crotch. "Ouch!" She yelped in pain. Leah closed her eyes and prayed that Johnny didn't here anything, which he didn't. After a while of laying in bed while in pain, Leah got up and walked around the small house, she was still in denial that this was real labour.

Leah opened Jacob's bedroom door and peaked at him, he was still fast sleep while wearing his tiny little Batman costume which he insisted on wearing to bed tonight. She then closed his door again and wondered into the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and pulled out a loaf of bread and some mayonnaise.  Leah grabbed a knife from a drawer and began spreading the mayo onto the bread and took a bite. Leah felt like the food actually helped her feel better, but that only lasted a few minutes. Once she'd eaten two slices of bread the pains started once more. "Ouch!" She said, grabbing her bump with both hands. She knew that she needed to tell Johnny what was happening.

Leah waddled over to the bedroom and started tapping Johnny on the arm to wake him up.

"Hmm?"

"Johnny. Help me, please." Leah innocently whispered.

Johnny's eyes instantly opened and he jumped into action like he'd be waiting for this day his whole life. "What? Is she coming?"

"Yes, I think so. My waters haven't broken yet, but my whole body really hurts."

"Ok, ok." Johnny grabbed a blanket off the bed and wrapped it over Leah's shoulders. "Erm, ok, why don't you lay down on the bed and I'll... make a phone call." Johnny grabbed his phone off the bedside table and stood in the kitchen while dialling a phone number. He called the same paramedics who helped him when he drowned, but after calling them a few times, he couldn't get through to them. Johnny didn't want to worry Leah so he dialled Sean's phone instead for assistance.

"Huh? What's up?"

"Hey, Sean. Erm, we have a slight problem," He whispered, "Leah is in labour and the ambulance crew aren't answering their phone. I need you to try to call all of the local island hospitals urgently for me."

"Didn't you say you were going to call them last night?"

"Yeah... I forgot. I was so tired after dinner and I totally forgot, man. Can you help us?"

"I'll try my best, man."

"Ok. There should be a book in your chalet on the island that has all of the local emergency numbers on it, call all of them, ok?"

"Alright, man. See you soon." Sean said, he was finally fully awake and able to understand what was going on.

"Bye, man."

Johnny called a couple himself, but he really needed to be by Leah's side right now. Johnny called a hospital on the tip of Florida and a small hospital in Cuba for help as well.

"Hey, I really need help. I'm on an island in The Bahamas and my wife is in labour..." Johnny went back and forth with them and eventually Sean ran into the house. Johnny hung up and spoke to him, "Some nurses from a hospital in Jamaica are on their way!"

"Thank god...."
