My Name is NOT Cupcake novel Chapter 59

Elias and Alexa tried to comfort me in the backseat of the spacious SUV. We arrived at the hospital in minutes. A wheelchair was brought to the SUV and I was wheeled inside. I couldn't help it anymore; I needed to push. They quickly changed me into a hospital gown and led me towards the bed; although, I didn't quite make it. I ended up squatting on the side of the bed and pushing. I yelled out as I felt myself being stretched wide open. I screamed and clutched Elias' awaiting hand. He was standing beside me. Alexa and Mathias had to wait in the waiting room.

"The baby is coming right now," the nurse closet to me said. The doctors and nurses shifted to where I was at the side if the bed.

"She's crowning. The head is right here," the doctor said, kneeling behind me. Elias rubbed my back gently as the doctor reached under my hospital gown. "Luna, I need you to push," the doctor said. I took a deep breath and pushed. The push turned into a scream as I felt like I was being ripped in two. I was sweating and tears were running down my face. I took staggered breaths as I tried to catch my breath.

"Come on, cupcake, you can do it," Elias said rubbed his thumb on my hand gently. I huffed as I looked at him in pain.

"I hate you," I breathed. I didn't actually hate him, I was just in a lot of pain, and I'm glad he understood that. Elias' lip pulled up slightly.

"I know, honey," he said.

After three more pushes, I finally heard crying. I felt like crying myself as my lower regions felt like someone just took a chainsaw to them, but as the nurses moved around me as I sighed in relief and collapsed by the bed. I rested my head against the side of the bed and let my eyes close. Elias picked me up off the floor and laid me in the bed. The movement hurt, but it felt better finally being able to lay down and be off of my legs. Elias kissed my damp head gently and smiled.

"You did it, cupcake," he said happily. The nurse handed my now clean baby to me.

"Congratulations, Luna, Alpha; it's a girl. She weighs seven pounds and five ounces," the nurse explained. To my knowledge, that was a little small for a newborn, but she looked healthy otherwise, and she was alive with no major issues, so I was happy. I smiled down at our little strawberry blonde haired girl. She had a head full of damp hair and looked about as red as a tomato from all that yelling she was doing. She was so tiny. When she calmed down, her little red face turned pink and her wide, doe-like almond eyes looked at me. She had Elias' crystal gray eyes with flecks of gold. I fell in love with her immediately. After a moment of cooing at her, I handed her to Elias. He held her gently as he rocked.

"Hi princess," he cooed as he kissed her head. He went mushy as he baby-talked to her. It made my heart melt. A moment later, Mathias, Alexa, Taylor, and Minnie walked in. They each took turns with our little girl. She was a happy baby.

"Have you thought of a name yet?" Alexa asked as she handed my little girl back to me. I smiled down at her fiery red hair and knew immediately. I discussed names with Elias a few times but we never actually picked one because we didn't know if she would be a boy or a girl. I was glad she was a girl.

"Kennedy-Estella Noel," I smiled. "Noel was my mother's name," I explained. The nurses checked all my vitals before they took Kennedy's as well. The door creaked open as the nurse was handing Kennedy back to me. I smiled in surprise when Nolan, my dad, Mason, and his mate, Jessica, walked in.

"She'll need to be fed soon," the nurse explained before she left the room. I was left in a room full of family.

"Wh-What are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"Alpha...sorry, Mathias called when you went into labor. We got here as soon as we could," Alpha Peter explained before he turned to Mathias. "You'll always be Alpha in my mind," Peter explained.

"As well you when the time comes, my friend," Mathias said in understanding. My dad walked to my bedside first.

"Dad, meet your granddaughter, Kennedy Estella Noel Madsen," I smiled at him. My dad held her carefully and smiled at her. I think he even had tears in his eyes.

"She looks just like you, Novalyn," he smiled. My brother held her next. Kennedy was passed around as everyone got a look at her. She was pretty calm the whole time until she was ready to eat. She coughed out a little cry before she was handed to me. Everyone except Elias left the room to give me privacy. I fed a very hungry Kennedy, burped her, and then rocked her to sleep. I was exhausted, sore, tired, and slightly medicated, but happy. Elias took Kennedy's sleeping figure gently.

"Get some rest, love. She'll still be here when you wake up, okay?" he said quietly. I nodded and let my eyes droop close. He continued to rock her as I let myself sleep.
