Not a Drill (Nathaniel's Blog) Baby Dwyer wasn’t waiting. Suddenly it hit Bella, hard. Were they ready to be parents? Would the baby be too large to deliver naturally? Will her rising blood pressure cause complications? But it was too late for these worries. The midwife still wasn’t there, but Nathan seemed calm and collected. He positioned himself between her legs and confirmed that soon they’d get to meet their little cub.
Bella held on to Belie's hand for dear life. She knew she was nearly at the finish line. It would be so worth it. It Already was. "Just a few more," Nathan kept telling her. She closed her eyes and poured all of her energy into one last push. There was utter relief as baby Dwyer left the birth canal and came into the world. "It's a girl, Isabella. A girl!" "A girl..." A smile of absolute exhaustion and delight lit up Bella's face. She looked at the perfection that was their daughter. Gods it was so incredible. "Is she... okay?" Bella wanted to hear her cry. Then there it was. "Hi there, baby girl..." Tears of joy were rolling down her own cheeks now. She never thought that she would be holding her very own child in her arms. Their very own child. From bipolar, to fertility problems, to the miscarriage and this second pregnancy with its threatened complications, everything all came down to this moment. They'd done it. They created life. Their cub was so little. Far tinier than they’d expected from Bella’s massive belly. Soon, the midwife Anje arrived, in awe at the tiny baby in Bella’s arms. The baby was measured and passed the newborn test, and as their little princess lay in her daddy’s arms, Bella began to feel intense pains again. Like contractions all over again. “What’s happening?” Nathan kept demanding. Then soon… another heartbeat was heard with the doppler. Anje glanced at Nathan and Bella. Shock was written all over her face and for a moment, she didn’t seem to know how to say it, but at last she spoke up. “There’s another baby.”
