Chapter 6: Six Months Later

“I told you I was coming back.” Kayla says to Ahsha as her hands ring around her neck. The brunette had a crazed look in her eyes as if she were ready to kill Ahsha once and for all.

“But you’re dead.”

“Doesn’t mean I’m not watching you. Can’t breathe, can you?” Kayla asks her before her grip becomes tighter. Ahsha feels her eyes close as she continues to fight for her life.

Ahsha jolts up out of bed, breathing heavily and clutching her round stomach as a contraction hits. Tears stream down her eyes and she bites back a terrified sob, not wanting to wake up Derek.

Derek notices his wife’s quick and rapid movements and quickly gathers her in his arms. “Shh.” He coos as she nearly collapses into his arms. He runs his hands over her back and presses kisses to her forehead. Ahsha takes short, deep breaths as her husband continues to help calm her down.

“Bad dream?”

“Yeah.” Ahsha answers and looks at the clock, noticing that it is four in the morning.

“Go back to bed Derek, I’ll be fine.”

“I can’t do that babe.”

The two lay back down and Derek rubs Ahsha’s stomach.

“I had another dream that Kayla was choking me again. Derek, what if this is my karma for killing her?”

“It’s not karma. You’re still traumatized baby.”

“It’s been six months.” Ahsha says, mentally beating herself up about being stressed out about Kayla. One more contraction hits and she successfully hides it from Derek.

Derek gets up and pulls Ahsha up with him. He slides his legs around her and rests his back against the headboard. Ahsha makes herself warm in his embrace. Something about her behavior seems a little off to him.

“You can’t heal overnight. I know it was petrifying going against Kayla but she’s gone and you don’t have anything to worry about.” Derek places his hands in Ahsha’s and presses a soft kiss to her neck.

Ahsha feels the baby stirring around and then feels a contraction hit once again. She grabs Derek’s hands and squeeze them, taking a deep breath. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah. I just had another false contraction.” She replies and feels like she has to use the bathroom for the fourth time in a row. Derek cautiously follows behind Ahsha as she heads to the bathroom.

“Ahsha you’ve had them all day yesterday. I don’t think they’re false.”

“What happened?” Derek asks when he sees his wife stop walking.

“My water just broke.” Ahsha jokes and has another false contraction that stops her in her tracks.

“Oh my goodness! What do I do?” Derek springs out of bed looking like a crazed chicken with its head cut off.

“I’m joking babe.” She says and makes her way to the bathroom.

“Where are you going?” Derek asks, feeling nervous.

“Your child is resting on my bladder and I need to pee.”

Derek chuckles at his wife and lays back down in his bed, waiting for his wife to finish in the bathroom.

Ahsha uses the bathroom and begins to wipe when she feels her baby’s head. Her eyes widen and she jumps off the toilet, ignoring her pain and removing everything except her tee shirt. She flushes and clutches the skink as she feels the need to push. “Derek!” She screams.

Derek jolts up and rushes to the large master bathroom, finding his wife on the bathroom floor. He runs over to his wife and sits in front of her, preparing to catch their baby.

He counts to ten while Ahsha tirelessly pushes. She takes a breath and goes right back to pushing, making Derek amazed at her strength.

“Almost finished babe.” Derek encourages as the baby’s shoulder appear. Ahsha stops pushing and takes one big breath and goes back to pushing while Derek counts.

The baby falls into Derek’s hands leaving him speechless as well as amazed. Tears stream down his face and he cleans off his baby. “Okay Derek, can you call 911?” Ahsha asks, laughing at her husband’s reaction.

“Y-yeah.” He stutters and passes the baby to Ahsha. He towel dries his hands and runs to grab his phone, shaking.

“Hi Carter James.” Ahsha coos and presses a kiss to her baby’s forehead. He opens and closes his little hands, embracing his mother’s touch.

“Hi, my wife just gave birth in our bathroom. What do I do?”

Derek follows the paramedic’s instruction and ties a piece of yarn around the umbilical cord. He then gets up and rushes downstairs as fast as he can to go unlock the door and the gate for the paramedics.

The excited father rushes back upstairs and straight into his bathroom to be with his wife. “Okay, the ambulance will be there in ten minutes.”

“Thank you.” Derek answers and hands up the phone.

Ahsha looks at Derek, shaking with excitement and adrenaline. “I told you those contractions weren’t false.” Derek teases and kisses Ahsha’s forehead.

“Hi Mr. Roman.” He coos, falling completely in love with Carter.

“We have to call everyone.”

Derek pulls out his phone and calls Sloane, Eleanor, Terrence, as well as Zero all at the same time. Eleanor is the first to answer followed by Zero, Sloane, and Terrence. “Carter is here!” He cheers into the phone, making Ahsha giggle. His heart warms at the sound of his wife’s laugh.

“Aww!” Sloane and Eleanor coo. “Where are you guys?”

“At home. Ahsh gave birth in the bathroom.”

“Well should we meet you there?” Zero asks.

“The ambulance is almost here so you guys can meet us at the hospital.”

“Okay Derek, keep us updated. I’m going to get ready now.” Sloane says, nudging Pete.

“Me too.” Terrence and Zero reply at the same time.

“I’ll come and leave John with Katharine.”

“I will keep all of you updated and I’ll see you guys at the hospital.” Derek says and hangs up the phone.

Ahsha looks up at Derek who is still in his sweatpants and shirtless. “Go put on a shirt before the paramedics get here.”

Derek does just that and comes back to his wife. He kisses her on the forehead and looks down at baby Carter, almost in tears again.

The paramedics come upstairs and see the newborn baby in his mother’s arms. “Hello.” The female paramedic coos to Carter. She smiles at Ahsha.

“Is this your first delivery?”

“No, I have a one and a half year old who is still asleep.”

The paramedic gently falls to her knees in front of Ahsha and is handed a bucket as well as a pair of scissors. “So you know the procedure pretty well then.” She giggles.

“Dad, would you like to cut the cord?” The paramedic asks, moving her dark brown ponytail out of the way.

“Sure.” Derek follows the careful instructions and cuts Carter’s cord. The paramedic then does her job of helping Ahsha deliver the placenta by squeezing her stomach and gently pulling on the umbilical cord.

“And we are finished. We’re going to take you guys to the hospital to get you and your little one checked out.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Do you know what time your baby was born?”

“Four eighteen.” The paramedic nods and begins to help Ahsha up on the stretcher along with Derek’s help. She then drapes a blanket over Ahsha’s bare bottom half and the paramedics begin to carry Ahsha and Carter downstairs. Derek races to grab Ahsha’s hospital bag along with little sleeping Mackenzie. He hops into the ambulance with his wife and they go on their way to the hospital.

The Romans get to the hospital around four forty five, feeling exhausted as well as excited about baby Carter.

A nurse comes to see Ahsha and check on her vitals as well as the condition of her womb. “You are super healthy and will be here until tomorrow afternoon. Pretty soon you’ll be back on that court dancing up a storm!” She cheers. Ahsha laughs at the peppy nurse.

“I’m a big fan of you and your husband by the way.”

“Thank you.” Ahsha beams.

“Get some rest, I will see you in a couple of hours.”

Ahsha sighs and stretches, thankful for no IV’s being attached to her.

Derek sits on the bed and snuggles close to Ahsha. Carter is sleeping in his little bassinet next to Ahsha’s bed and Mackenzie is with Sloane and Pete for the night.

“I don’t think I’m getting any more sleep,” Derek whispers and looks at Ahsha. “We have two kids now!” He excitedly cheers.

Ahsha smiles at her husband and kisses his cheek. “Yes, we do.”

“It’s been one crazy year.” Ahsha admits and grabs Derek’s hand.

“Too crazy.”

“He has your eyes.” Ahsha teases as she looks down at Carter in his bassinet. The baby opens his eyes to the sound of his mother’s voice. He then closes them and opens his little hands, falling asleep again.

“You think so?” Derek asks and presses a kiss to his wife’s forehead.

“He’s your little twin.”

Derek looks down at his son in pure admiration and then looks back at his wife, falling madly in love with her all over again. “You’re so beautiful Ahsha.” The young mother turns around and looks at her husband, crossing her legs and folding her hands as she sits in front of him.

“We’ve been through a lot with this pregnancy.” She admits, running her hand over Derek’s stubbly chin.

“We really have been. Kayla and her crazy antics. That two and a half month argument over something that could have been avoided.”

“We were sex deprived.” Derek groans making Ahsha slap his arm and laugh.

“The nonexistent pregnancy symptoms that occurred except for nausea and fatigue. You knew I was pregnant way before I did.”

“Because you were filling out in all the right places and we had sex every night for two weeks.” Derek admits, causing Ahsha to roll her eyes.

“The reception. The same night Kayla died, the night I thought I almost lost Carter, the same night I told you about this little guy.”

Derek pulls Ahsha into his arms and he holds her in his warm embrace. “And I helped deliver him. It’s surreal. There’s no one else I’d rather be with through ups and downs than with you.”

Ahsha lays her head in the crook of her husband’s neck as he kisses her cheek. “Good because you’re the only person I plan on spending my life with.”

“I’m looking forward to it.” Derek chuckles, feeling blessed and content.

Thank you for reading the chapter. I hope you enjoyed it!!
