Summary: Time for Jim to take charge as Nyota labors
AN: See past ANs
Jim in charge was something she knew could she could count on to make sure everything came out all right in the end. And right now, with her body straining to dilate enough to produce their baby, she wanted all the good things he could find, because she had been in labor over twelve hours already.
To be fair, she was also extremely tired of being pregnant. And tired of being tired, and tired of the swelling, hemorrhoids, and all the other shit that went with the pregnancy. It had been an easy pregnancy according to the professionals, and for the most part she’d enjoyed the past nine months with her guys, but she was ready to move to the next stage of their baby’s life. She was confident, if she ever got done with this pregnancy, that they would have an awesome baby.
After a long discussion they’d decided Jim should be the primary coach, next to Greta McNally who was, in addition to being one of the nurses certified for labor and delivery, also a doula. She was there to give her massages and help Jim get her through the delivery. Nyota just wanted her body to get with the program and deliver already. Why it couldn't be like in holos where delivery lasted ten minutes, max, she didn’t know. She would much prefer that. At least according to Doctor Ann Harper, she was in the second phase...of part one of the labor. She still had transition and actually shooting the baby out to go through, along with the placenta after that.
Jim was proving to be an awesome coach, knowing when she wanted something to drink, some ice chips, a massage, all instinctively. Leo was there as well, but they’d been concerned Leo would get torn away to do some surgery only he could manage. Not to mention, when the chips came down to it, they all just felt more comfortable with Jim in charge. She laughed a little between contractions a few hours earlier when he’d admitted he’d never really thought his lessons in command would come in handy in quite this situation. Now she really didn’t have the energy to laugh. She just concentrate on relaxing as much as she could between contracts, and trying to breath through them while they occurred.Jim’s voice was her guide by that point. The doula had given her a magnificent foot massage that seemed to have jump-started her labor, but she was finally at the part where it just hurt to contract, they were coming in so hard and fast. She knew that meant she was in transition and she’d be pushing soon, but she didn’t care. She just wanted it over Miracle of childbirth her ass. It was just a miracle people had more than one ever.
She felt like she needed to take a dump. She knew that meant the baby was on the way to getting out, but she still needed to poop and holding back the urge to push was hard. It was a relief when Jim told her to start bearing down. With both her guys’ help and experimentation, she found just the right way to push for her. Jim was still up at her end of of things while Bones was telling her how things were going down below.
Once the baby was out, she collapsed back against the bed, stroking their daughter’s full head of hair while the guys cut the cord. She covered their daughter in a blanket while helping her nurse and crying. She wasn’t sure why she was crying, since it didn’t hurt anymore, even the afterbirth was out but she was crying like baby, Jim and Leo resting on either side of her, kissing her forehead and touching their daughter as she nursed quietly. They’d figure out the name later. Right now she really just wanted to warm up and sleep. When Jim cleared everyone out in his “I am the Captain of this ship, and I know what’s best for my crew” tone, she relaxed and let the guys take charge for a while. They had nine months of childcare to catch up on, after all. She, however, was going to sleep.
