Asylum Challenge #197: IT'S GO TIME!

Carla's water breaks and they rush off to the hospital.

-----------------------------------

"Oh my god! JOEY!!" Carla's water breaks and she cries out for Joey.

He hears her cries from all the way downstairs and he knows it's go time! He runs up the stairs full force and bursts into the room.

"It's time!" She gasps, holding her stomach.

"Okay okay! I'll call the nurse!" He runs back out of the room.

He return with the nurse and she escorts them off to the hospital. Luckily no one else had been around to see what was going on, so none the wiser.

They get to the hospital and Carla checks in, she is exhausted already and struggled to sleep, so she's running on not even an hour.

She's taken to the delivery room and Joey follows behind, panicking.

"Just relax babe." She says, looking up at him.

"I am relaxed! You need to relax too!" He freaks out.

"Oh Jesus." She giggles, rolling her eyes.

The labour was long and so very painful as one would expect, Carla though didn't ask for any help on the pain department, she just wanted this baby out now!

After the birth, Carla finally can meet her new baby girl.

"So what should we name her?" Joey asks, wrapping his arms around Carla, as she holds the baby.

"How about Alisha?" She asks, smiling longingly at her baby.

"That's beautiful." He nods, crying.

Carla then begins to cry too, part happiness, part sadness.

"So are we meeting your mom?" He asks.

"No, the nurse is dropping Alisha off at her home."

"Are you okay with that?"

She sighs, "I was hoping to see her but I won't yet....we won't yet."

"Not for another 3 years."

"Right, luckily....time flies." She smiles, feeling the bittersweet moment.

Carla and Joey part with Alisha, it was a very painful day for them three. Mom was having a hard time parting with her child but she had to and Joey just held her as she cried.

Alisha was taken by the nurse to meet her grandmother Jenny for the first time.

"Here we go Mrs. Newell, meet your granddaughter Alisha."

"Oh she's gorgeous." Jenny's eyes welled up with tears, "hello there sweetpea, I'm grandma."
