Unexpected

Comment please :)

The ambulance arrived shortly afterwards. Drake ran down the stairs to unlock the door and the paramedic team rushed in. He told them where Nicki was and they rushed to go and get her. A few minutes later, Nicki was being carried out of the house on a stretcher.

Drake quickly locked the door and ran to get into the ambulance with her. As they were driving to the hospital, one of the paramedics checked Nicki's blood pressure and it was pretty high.

"140/90" She read aloud. "How long till we get to the hospital? We need to lower her blood pressure fast"

They arrived at the hospital 10 minutes later and Nicki was brought straight to the emergency ward and put in a room. She was on the bed holding her stomach with tears flowing down her face since she was in so much pain, Drake had to stay outside so he wasn't there to comfort her. All she wanted was Drake to hold her hand but he couldn't and that made the whole thing worse. 

"Hmm... Tina set up the ultrasound machine" The nurse told the other nurse. Tina did as she was told. Once the machine was on, she asked Nicki to lift up her shirt and to unbutton her pants and Nicki did it with a bit of a struggle. Tina ran an ultrasound wand over her stomach, listening for an indication of what was going on and she was surprised to hear what sounded like a heartbeat.

Louise, the nurse on duty was shocked by the sound. "I'll be right back" She said in a panic and went out the room. Louise soon came back with a doctor.

"I'm Doctor Harrison, I'm going to have to give you an internal exam but you'll need to put on a gown" The doctor said and Nicki nodded at him. "I'll go out the room to give you some privacy"

Nicki got changed into a gown as soon as she could, she could sense that something was seriously wrong. Doctor Harrison came back, put some gloves on and started the exam.

He stood back and took off his gloves putting them in the trashcan. "You're pregnant and about 5 centimeters dilated" 

"What?!" Nicki shouted. Louise excused herself and went to tell Drake. When she came out, he stood up right away. He had been panicking, the only thought running through his mind was, was he going to leave the hospital alone?

"I have some news, your wife's in labour!"

"That is funny" Drake chuckled. "You must have the wrong guy"

"No, no. You're definitely the guy I was looking for"

Drake stood there shocked, trying to take in what the staff were saying. Meanwhile Nicki had been wheeled down to the delivery room, her mind was racing. She couldn't be pregnant, she didn't have a fat stomach, swollen feet or any other obvious pregnancy symptoms and she was having her period regularly. Now all she could think about was the baby going to survive, unlike when she was pregnant with Alexa she had no prenatal care. She had gained a few pounds but she put that down to her unhealthy eating also she had had alcohol, not an excessive amount but possibly enough to cause harm to the unborn baby. Carol arrived a few minutes later, Drake had called her while he was waiting. When she got there, the receptionist told her that Nicki was down the hall and gave her directions.  She was completely oblivious to the situation and ran straight ahead, she just wanted to know that her daughter was okay.

Carol spotted Drake sitting down and ran over to him. "What's wrong with her? How come you're not with her?" Questions were coming at him non-stop.

"She's about to deliver" He answered.

"Deliver?" Carol asked confused.

"Mr. Graham, come on" Another nurse shouted, Drake gave Carol a reassuring smile before he got up and followed the nurse. 

Back in the delivery room, things were moving fast and Nicki was almost fully dilated. The nurses were panicking themselves but we're hoping for the best. Drake arrived, quickly put on an apron and ran to her side. "Are you okay?"

"Yes...not really" She breathed. He took her hand in his and gently caressed it.

Doctor Harrison checked Nicki again, "You're about 8cm dilated but we have to wait till you're 10cm dilated. Other than the contractions, no other pain right?"

Afraid to speak, Nicki shook her head. "Alright well, I'll be back in a bit to check on you. I have to notify some more nurses" Dr. Harrison left Nicki and Drake alone.

"I'm scared" Nicki whispered.

"I know" Drake pushed her hair off of her face. Suddenly Nicki grabbed Drake's hand and squeezed it as she rode out her contraction. "Turn over"

"Why?"

"Just do it,okay. Trust me" Nicki obliged to Drake's wishes and turned onto her side. He began to massage her back and could feel her body loosen up, he didn't want to her to get too relaxed so he stopped after a while. Drake tried to distract her from the pain in a sense, he started to sing to her.

The hospital staff were concerned but we're sure that the baby couldn't be dangerously premature, given the image shown on the ultrasound and the width of Nicki's hips. They gave her antibiotics since Nicki hadn't been screened for anything during this pregnancy and no one knew anything for certain about this baby except that the mom hadn't had any prenatal care.

Just over an hour later, Nicki was fully dilated and was ready to push. The nurses helped Nicki into the correct position. "On the count of 3, I want you to start pushing"

"1... 2....3" Gripping Drake's hand,Nicki began to bear down and pushed. The pain during this birth was more than the pain she felt giving birth to Alexa.  Within in half an hour, the baby's head was nearly crowning.

"I CAN'T DO IT!" Drake's hand hurt but he was sure it did not compare to how Nicki was feeling.

"Come on! Just a few more pushes," Dr. Harrison coached.

"You said that ten minutes ago,"

"Honestly, just at least 3 more pushes"

"I can't push anymore."

"You have to push!" the doctor commanded. Drake watched the baby's head crowning. 

"Keep pushing, you're doing great!" Drake said.

With a glare of pain, Nicki screamed. "I'm fucking pushing"

Drake wasn't bothered by her sharp words, in fact it made him grin.

"Push harder!" And Nicki pushed harder than before.

"I see the head" 

A moment later Nicki felt a pain so intense that she screamed in agony and pushed through the pain until she couldn't feel it anymore. She sighed with relief as the doctor clamped the umbilical cord. "You have a little boy" Dr. Harrison smiled. The squalling infant was handed off to a nurse to be cleaned and to measure his height, weight, motor skills, among other things. Nicki then delivered the afterbirth. After the baby was given to Nicki, she was still in shock. She looked down at her baby boy and said "I'm your mommy and I'm going to take care of you."

The baby was a clear mixture of Drake and Nicki but looked like Drake more. He had Drake's nose and skin complexion, bright brown eyes with a hint of green, light brown hair, Nicki's pouty lips, Drake's ears and bushy eyebrows.

Nicki was put in a wheelchair a few minutes later and brought to a hospital room. Their baby was taken for an examination before being brought back to his parents. Drake was following close behind her until he remember his mother in law.

"I'll be back, okay babe" He kissed her on the cheek before dashing off. He returned with a relieved Carol. "Come say hello to your grandson" 

Carol nervously walked towards Nicki and the baby. "Don't be shy" Nicki smiled. Carol looked down at her grandson and covered her mouth in shock. 

"Do you want to hold him?" After receiving a nod, Nicki handed the baby over to her mother.

"Hello there, I'm your nana. You're probably thinking who's this crazy lady but you'll see I'm not crazy eventually" Carol grinned. Drake had sat on the edge of the bed during this time and Nicki leaned into him.

"Have you thought of a name yet?" 

"Nope. I'm still trying to figure out how I was pregnant and didn't know"

Someone knocked on the door and a head appeared through the door. "Is this a good time?"

"It's fine" Nicki said and her previous midwife, Dr. Ankers came in.

"I just got told to come down because you had a baby is that correct?"

"Yes"

Dr. Ankers' eyes widen before going back to their normal size. 

"I'm just as shocked as you are, so what's up doc?"

"Just here to make sure you're okay and tell you some information"

"I'm good, so you can continue" 

"So he was 6oz, 14 lbs. He was born at 9:32pm on June 17th and from the examination he is about 3 weeks premature but he's a healthy baby. Any questions?"

"How did I not know I was pregnant?"

"It can happen. There are women who have infrequent periods anyway and also have no sickness, so these signs can be missed. Women who don't know they're pregnant until they're in labour may confuse the side effects of pregnancy with other problems like food poisoning or indigestion. Also if you are stressed, weight gain, headaches, digestive issues and bodily pains can be mistaken too"

"But I was still having my period?"

"Sometimes pregnant women continue to experience period like bleeding, which deceives them into thinking they're not pregnant"

"Oh" Nicki said with a confused look on her face.

"Well I let you get back to whatever, see you in the morning" Dr Ankers smiled and left.

"Only something strange like this would happen to me" Nicki sighed.

The following day, Nicki made sure she called her job to let them know she wouldn't be able to work.

"This is supreme model management, you are speaking to Mark"

"Hey Mark, it's Onika you know... Nicki"

"Oh hey, how are you?"

"Good, I was wondering if i could talk to Samantha"

"2 seconds... Okay, I'll forward you now" Nicki thanked him and waited for Samantha.

"Hello?"
 
"Hey it's Nicki, I have some news"

Nicki told Samantha about how she had a baby.

"How? When? Whaaat?" Nicki laughed at her response.

She liked how she could talk to Samantha like she was a friend not just her manager.

"Early hours of Sunday morning"

"I'm so confused, you looked the same to me. How come you never went on maternity leave like you did when you were having Alexa?"

"I didn't know, I literally had stomach pains and went to the hospital and they said I was in labour"

"I'm in shock. But what did you have?"

"A boy, we called him Jordan"

"Awwwwww"

"I know it's kind of unexpected and stuff but,"

"No no it's fine, i'll just have to push some things back. Oh and since you didn't take maternity leave, you get 26 weeks off work"

"Oh thanks, bye Sam"

Three days later, Nicki and Drake were still shocked about what had happened but it was slowly settling in. When they told everyone about how they didn't know Nicki was pregnant, everyone thought they were joking but when they realised they were telling the truth it was one of the strangest things any of them had heard. Both Nicki and Drake had alert work that they would not be in for a few days.

"So what's his name?" Sandi asked, as soon as she and Dennis found out they made sure they were there ASAP.

"We don't have one for him yet" Nicki frowned.

"But I got this book and we've been looking at names and we've got a few that really stand out" Drake said. "There's Jordan, Elijah, Nathaniel or Isaiah. Which one is better?"

"Well I like Jordan" Carol answered. 

"Yes, I like that name too" Robert agreed.

"Jordan seems more fitting to me" Sandi said and Dennis nodded in agreement.

"What do you think Lexie?" Nicki asked Alexa who was sat on Drake's lap.

"Huh?" Alexa said in a cute confused voice.

"What name do you like for your baby brother?"

"The J one"

"Jordan?"

"Uh huh" Alexa nodded.

"Looks like his name is Jordan. Should we give him a middle name?"

"He doesn't have to have one but we could use one of the names we were going to use as his first name"

They had another discussion about it and came up with one that everyone agreed on which was Jordan Cole. Coincidentally a nurse was scheduled to come around for a visit so at least their baby would now have a name instead of baby Graham.

"Hope this is a good time" Tina said as she opened the door slightly and peeked her head through.

"It is" Nicki smiled at her and Tina walked into the room

"Good. I've just talked to the other doctors and you're going to be released later today. One last thing I need to check everyone you know down there is okay so," Everyone except Drake took that as their cue to exit the room.

Tina made sure she did the procedure quick so Nicki could get back to relaxing. "Everything is okay so you don't have to worry" 

"That's good" Nicki said fixing herself.

"Oh, another thing do you have a name for baby Graham?"

Drake cringed and Tina laughed. "Yes, Jordan Cole"

"Alright then" She wrote it down on the paper attached to her clipboard. "I'll tell the nurses and I'll bring your family back in" Tina said and they waved her goodbye. A few seconds later, the family came back in and jumped into another conversation.

It got to 3pm and Nicki's side of the family decided to leave. Visiting over were almost over and they didn't want to overstay, they said goodbye to everyone else in the room and left. Sandi and Dennis stayed at bit longer before they too decided to go.

"I would love to stay longer but it's a long drive back especially with Dennis driving" Sandi whispered the last past so Dennis wouldn't hear her. Nicki giggled and opened her arms so she could give her a hug.

"Well son" Dennis started but was cut off by Drake's manly hug. 

"And to you little lady" Dennis crouched down to give Nicki a hug. "I'll see you both soon" he smiled and they both left the room.

Nicki moved over in the bed so Drake could lie down next to her. "Can you believe we have another baby?"

"Baby, Alexa isn't a baby anymore. I always wanted another baby and now we have one"

"She's still my baby! I know but I was expecting us to have one now if you get me but what are we going to do? He doesn't have a room"

"I'll sort it" Drake said and lightly kissed Nicki's forehead. They laid there talking until the nurse came to bring Jordan to the unit.

"He's a little miracle" Nicki said resting her head on Drake's chest.

"Our little miracle" He replied and stroked her hair as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Do you have everything?" Drake asked for the second time.

"Yes Drake" Nicki rolled her eyes.

"Ready to sign out?" Louise asked.

"Yep, just give me 5 seconds and I'll come down to the reception" Louise nodded before stepping out the room.

Nicki got signed out and Drake meet her afterwards with a sleeping Jordan in his car seat. Drake had nipped out to buy it during one of the family visits to see them. 

"You ready?"

"Yep" Nicki smiled and walked out the hospital with Drake next to her. Once they reached their car, Drake put Jordan in the back seat and climbed in the driver's seat.

As they were driving, Nicki looked back and saw Jordan curiously looking around and smiled at him. For a newborn, he was very alert. Whenever someone came into the hospital room he would follow their every movement, he was fascinated by everything. When they got home and went inside they noticed that there were new baby stuff everywhere. Packs of nappies stacked up near the coach, bottles and formula in the kitchen. Nicki made Drake move all the stuff upstairs while she stayed with Jordan.

"Where is he going to sleep?" Nicki asked when Drake came back downstairs.

"In his room" Drake said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"But he," Nicki started to say.

"Go up and look" Nicki went upstairs to the once spare room and was shocked to see a newly decorated room. His crib was in the middle of the room, there was a bookshelf across from the crib, there was a set of drawers with a changing table on top and a one-seater on the other side. The wall was painted white and there were a few decorations around. 

Drake came into the room and leaned up against the wall. "So you like it?"

"Love it!"

"So this is Jordan's first day at home" Drake had his camcorder out and was filming everything Jordan did. He had filmed a bit when they were at the hospital as well. He was just focusing the camera on Jordan now.

Right now, Nicki had just feed him and was trying to burp him. "Do you really have to film this?" She asked with her hand holding Jordan's chin rubbing his back.

"Of course, when he's older he can look at them and see how he grew up"

"I doubt he will want to but okay" Finally Jordan let out a little burp. "Good boy" She smiled.

"And that was your first burp, wasn't that great?" 

"Your daddy is a creep" Nicki changed the way Jordan was sat so he was laying across her lap with his head resting on her arm.

"And this woman here" Drake pointed the camcorder at Nicki. "is your beautiful mommy"

Nicki tried to shield her face but it was not working. She had her hair swept to the side and was wearing some leggings with a baggy jumper.

Drake turned the camcorder to himself. "She's trying to hide because she think she looks bad but she doesn't really. Later I'm going to show you your sister"

"Come on, let's get away from this creepy man" Nicki said and picked Jordan up, walking away.

"Looks like we're going on a little trip" Drake laughed and followed behind her.

I was watching that show 'I didn't know I was pregnant' and got this idea so yeah. If you're confused, Nicki was pregnant during the last chapter of LL. Hence why she thought her stomach looked weird and she thought she needed to go on a diet to get rid of it. The one is kind of like medical and what not, I hope you enjoyed it :)
