Home Kourt with the Johnsons!

Season 03, Episode 15 | Penelope Is Here

Leaning over the bed in pain was horrible; I felt awful.

"Dwayne!" I shouted.

I heard him run up the stairs in a flash and into the room.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I think I'm in labor," I replied in between breaths.

He got me in the car as soon as possible and then called the family. We already had the bags, etc., ready to go.

"I think she is in labor. We're on our way to the hospital right now." Dwayne said to mom.

I was in pain and was gritting my teeth at every contraction that was ten minutes apart. We made it to the hospital and got checked in. I was in labor, and they got me in a room. I was hooked up to an IV which hurt because it was during a concentration.

A nurse came in, giving me something to make me sleepy and take the edge off the pain. I slowly started falling asleep while watching some tv.

"Dwayne," I mumbled.

"Yes, love," he told me.

"Thanks for everything," I said.

"You're welcome."

"I'm going to bed," I said.

"Okay, I'll let you sleep as long as you can."

"Thanks"

I slowly closed my eyes and drifted into a nice sleep.

Eight hours later and the doctor said that if by the next hour Kourtney's cervix didn't start to open, then they would have to do a C-section.

She was now labeled to be in active labor, but with her cervix not wanting to open, the baby couldn't get out independently.

She was freaking out; she was scared that something terrible would happen to the baby or her; she even started to blame herself, saying that she had done something wrong and that's why her body wasn't doing what it was supposed to.

"Alright, guys, last time we check, then we'll see if we need to get ready for the C-section." I nodded and franticly grabbed Kourtney's hand; I wasn't going to lie; I was scared about it.

I heard the doctor sigh before she took her gloves off,

"Nothing has changed, so I'm going to prep the O.R. and get everything ready, okay?" Kourt and I both nodded.

"It will take about twenty minutes to get it all done, and then we will send you down to get your spinal and whatnot, and then we will send down dad, okay?" She smiled warmly at Kourtney then to me, "I'll be back soon, guys."

I sighed when she left the room, "I'm so scared." Kourt whispered so our parents wouldn't hear; they were on the other side of the room talking to themselves.

"Me too, baby, but it will all be okay." She nodded and rested back on the bed.

After they took her back to get her ready, they gave me some scrubs to put on, along with those shoe covers. I got dressed and took a picture of my shoes before tweeting the image and adding the caption, 'It's going time.' A few minutes later, they took me into the O.R. Kourt was in and made me sit on a stool near her head; she smiled lazily over at me.

"Hi, baby." She whispered, making me laugh,

"Hey honey, you look beautiful." She laughed, rolling her eyes,

"I love you," I told before kissing her hand making her smile at me,

"Come down here and kiss me, Mr. Johnson."

I did what she said, bending down and kissing her lightly on the lips.

"I love you too, Dwayne."

I smiled warmly at her before the doctor said they were pulling the baby out now. A few seconds later, a cry filled the room, making both of our eyes water.

"Dad, want to cut the cord?" The doctor asked warmly, making me nod,

I cut the cord and got to hold her once they wrapped her up in a blanket. I took her over to Kourt's head and let her see her before they took her to get cleaned up and all that stuff.

"She's beautiful." Kourtney said, never taking her eyes off of the bundle in my arms, "Just like her mommy." I whispered, making her smile.
