Demi was due any day, but they gave her one more week to do it naturally. If not, they were going to induce her labor. Cam didn’t care what they did, just as long as his son got there and was healthy. Unlike Asha, Demi was in perfect health and she ate well throughout her pregnancy. She exercised and did whatever the doctors told her to do. There was no doubt in his mind that she was going to be a great mother. After all, she had been a great girlfriend to him. Everybody told Cam that Demi was the one and he couldn’t agree with them more.

“Lord Jesus! Just take me now!” Demi cried as another labor pain hit her.

Her mother told her that labor was no joke, but she wasn’t expecting that kind of pain. It felt like her son was tap dancing on her insides with spikes on his dance shoes. Demi’s water had broken over five hours ago, and her son was still refusing to come out. She had an epidural, but the medicine must have worn off.

“It’s almost over baby. You’re right at eight centimeters,” Cam said as he wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“It’ll all be worth it once you hold your baby for the first time,” her mother said as she recorded everything that was happening.

“Ain’t no dick or baby worth all this damn pain,” Demi panted.

“You better watch your filthy mouth. I don’t care how much pain you’re in,” Diane warned sternly.

“Mama please, get that camera out of my face!” Demi yelled.

“I can’t wait until we sit down and watch this video a few years from now,” Nora laughed.

Cam was talking about having a few more kids, but Demi wasn’t feeling that at all. They were both their mother’s only children and, now, she knew why. No one deserved to feel that kind of pain.

“Can they give me some more medicine or something? Please! I need something,” Demi begged.

“You can’t get any more medicine. Just relax Demi. Two more centimeters to go and I get to meet my grandson,” Diane said excitedly.

Cam felt bad about what she was going through, but there was nothing that he could do to help. Demi was crying and in pain, and he wanted to cry with her. She tried deep breathing whenever a contraction came, but that did little to ease the pain.

“I love you, baby. I swear, if I could endure the pain for you, I would,” Cam said as he sat next to her and held her hand.

“I love you too, but we’re never having sex again,” Demi replied.

“Damn. No more upside-down orgasms,” Cam whispered while shaking his head.

“I didn’t say that. I said no more sex,” Demi hurriedly corrected.

“Nasty ass,” Cam laughed.

“Being nasty is what got me in all this pain right now,” Demi replied.

“I can’t wait to see my baby,” Cam said excitedly.

“I just want him to come out of me,” Demi replied.

As if on cue, a nurse walked into the room, followed by the doctor. Demi knew that he wanted to check her again and she was dreading that more than pushing her son out. Once the doctor sanitized and slipped on his gloves, Demi grabbed and squeezed Cam’s hand as he checked her to see how dilated she was.

“I think our little fellow is ready to meet his mommy and daddy,” the doctor said with a pleasant smile. He, along with the nurse, started prepping everything right before they put Demi in position to deliver.

“It’s almost time to push Demi,” her mother informed her.

“Yes, that time is right now. On the count of three, I want you to give me a big push Demi,” the doctor instructed.

Demi nodded her understanding, as Cam grabbed her hand. He tried to coach her to push as the doctor counted from one to three.

“Oh God! He’s gonna rip me wide open!” Demi screamed out in agony.

When she was instructed to push again, Demi yelled out in pain.

“Just push baby. That’s the only way to get him out,” Cam coerced.
