117- Baby's Arrival

Ashley Walters pov "I have never helped anyone in delivering a baby! I mean ... I have no idea..." I told Keith who was busy applying sanitizer to his hands.

'Yeah. And I have been doing it since childhood!" Keith said with a not-so- sarcastic smirk. Sarah had requested me, to accompany her along with Keith to the labor room.

"Love!" I spun around when I heard a familiar voice behind me and lunged at him.

"Oh, Justin. Where were you? I missed you so much!" I not only held him by his shoulders but also kissed him hard, right on his lips.

His arms at once wrapped around me, "When I got the call, I straightaway came here." He said squeezing me into his chest, "So you are going inside?" "Yeah. I know nothing about childbirth, Justin!" I pouted before the only man who could listen to my whining, without a complaint.

"Neither does Keith! But he is there for his wife," he rubbed his knuckle against my cheek and all I wanted to do was lean to his touch.

"Tonight, you will be there for your sister, and tomorrow...,” he pulled me more into him and brought his face closer to mine, 'Tomorrow I will be there with you when you will be giving birth to our babies." "Babies?" my heart missed a beat.

"Yes, love. Don’t you want them?" he brushed his lips against my cheek.

"Maybe later," I shrugged.

"Later?" 'Yeah. I want to enjoy my life with you, Justin. We hardly spent enough time with each other." ’We will discuss it, love!" he pinched my nose tip "Whatever is the decision, it will be mutual. Ok?"

I nodded and lifted on my toes to kiss him again. Without any hesitation, he started responding to my kiss. Both of us were so captivated by the moment that we didn't hear the door opening behind us and then the throat clearing.

"Ashley Deluca! You are supposed to be inside the labor room with my wife," the loud male voice made me jump in Justin’s arms, "She is asking about you every second!"

Keith was standing there open-mouthed after witnessing our closeness, and his eyes were screaming at us. Like... 'what the fu*ck bro? Stop it and attend to my wife!' "She is coming. OK?" Justin threw a warning glance towards him and again kissed my lips. Turning me around, he gave me a little shove, 'You go inside, kitten."

While entering the room I heard Keith behind me, "Come on, Justin. Your wife is my wife's sister. At least spare her in the hospital where my wife is pushing out my child." The soon-to-be father was extremely tensed.

I closed the door behind me but kept my ear glued to their conversation.

"Drama queen, Keith!” I heard Justin slapping, maybe on Keith’s shoulder," As if we don't know what caused this delivery so quickly!"

What did he mean by that? I stayed there just inside the door, eavesdropping. Yeah, I know. It's unethical.

"Wh...what do you mean?" I heard Keith stuttering.

"I mean, I just met the doctor. She said Sarah was not spared by her partner even in this condition. You did it before coming here. That caused her labor pains." I covered my mouth to suppress the gasp. Which doctor in her right state of mind would tell such intimate things to a third person?

Nah! I think my husband was teasing his friend. Poor Keith might be having a lot on his mind because he seemed to believe it.

"Ash... Ashley." Sarah was gritting her teeth. I quickly wiped the sweat off her face.

"I am here, Sarah. I am with you, girl." I assured her quickly.

"Sweetheart!" Kevin was kissing her hand with wet eyes, "We both are here waiting for the baby, love.”

Sarah just whimpered in pain. Her hands were tightly clutching us.

"Ashley!” she called me breathlessly, "Will you ever forgive me?" "Now, don't be a fool!" I scolded her as if I was the elder one.
