My Baby’s Daddy Is Mr CEO

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Oliver paced from one end of the long hallway to the other, he was in the hospital, outside Aria`s labor room, it had been two hours already since the nurses took her in but there had been no update on her condition. He was very scared, afraid that he might lose her. He had never felt this scared and helpless before. It was very early in the morning, Oliver managed to send information to his best friend, sending him to go and get Rosie, she had no idea that her best friend had gone into labor. Oliver thought it was necessary for them to be there, not only because Arianna would be happy to know that, but because she needed as much support as she could right now. Few minutes later, the two of them arrived and met Oliver in the hallway. Rosie was wrapped in Sammy`s jacket as it was a very cold morning. “Hey buddy, any update? How is it going?” Sammy asked softly, with a look of curiosity “I have no idea and the nurses won’t let me in,” Oliver replied. Just then, Aria`s ear piercing scream is heard across the hallway and Oliver runs towards the room, while Sammy chases behind. “Wait Oliver wait, I don’t think you should go in there, just have a little faith and patience, Aria and your child would be fine,” Sammy advised and stopped his friend from barging into the labor room. “No Sammy, you don’t know how I feel when I hear her scream like that, I need to go in there,” Oliver persisted. “And what exactly would you do if you get in there, you would get emotional and that might distract the nurses from doing their job, just give it a little time please.” “I think Sammy is right, let’s be patient, I have faith in my best friend, she can do this and she would,” Rosie supported. “You two keep saying that, but it’s been almost three hours already, I don’t want anything to happen to my wife…” “And nothing would happen to her, she is a strong woman, she would be fine,” Rosie assured.

The next moment, the angelic cry of a child is heard from the room and Oliver freezes. He stays quiet to make sure that he is not hallucinating or imagining things. “She did it! She did it!” Rosie screamed in excitement Oliver cannot still believe it, he looks towards the door and just then, a doctor comes out. He pulls off his hand gloves and nose mask, then smiles at Oliver. “Congratulations Mr. Gomez, you are now a father to a beautiful girl,” the doctor informed him. “Oh my God,” Oliver muttered, and then he hugged the doctor. “Thank you so much doctor.” “Don’t thank me, you should thank your wife, she is a really strong woman, due to a few complications, I thought we were going to use the caesarean method but she refused and insisted on pushing the baby out.” “Oh my God, can I see her now?” Oliver asked “Yes, but I suggest you give the nurses a few minutes to take care of a few things.” “Alright, thank you so much.” He concluded. The doctor nodded and walked away “Wow, congratulations buddy, you are now a daddy, which was sooner than I expected” Sammy said and chuckled, then hugged his best friend. Oliver was full of excitement, he was itching to push that door open and walk in to meet his beautiful family but he decided to take the doctor’s advice and wait for a few minutes. Finally two nurses came out and told him that he could now go in if he wished to. Oliver opened the door immediately and walked in, Sammy wanted to follow but Rosie stopped him halfway and closed the door, leaving only Oliver and Aria on the inside. “Um… what is wrong?” Sammy queried “Well, I think we should give them some private time, we could go in later,” Rosie replied. “Oh, yes you are right, why didn’t I think of that?” Sammy smiled “Hmm… anyway, thanks for the jacket, it helped me a lot.” “Well you needed it, it was damn freezing earlier, why do babies have to come at that time? Robbed the poor fellows of their sleep?”

“Well, maybe when you are about to have one, you might understand,” Rosie said and laughed. “Speaking of Babies, when is it going to be your turn?” Rosie smirked “Hmm… I don’t know, I guess I have to find someone first,” Sammy replied. “Oh, true… first things first.” “What about you?” Sammy queried “Well, I could say that we are on the same boat,” Rosie replied and chuckled. ** * * * * * * * * * Oliver rushed to Aria`s bedside and sat beside her, she was laying down with the baby in her arms. She saw Oliver and smiled weakly “She has your eyes,” she said in a whisper Oliver chuckled softly and kissed her on the forehead, and then he carried his child up and smiled. “Yes, but every other thing she has is yours, her nose, her hair, the chubby cheeks and all, thank you Aria, you have made me the happiest man in the world, and I can’t describe to you how happy I am right now.” He said, with tears of joy rolling down his cheeks “Oh come on, I agree your baby gave me a tough time, but you don’t have to thank me, just prepare to pay back in the future,” Arianna joked and giggled. “Well if it was possible for me to carry the baby next time, then trust me I would. I can’t bear to see you in pain,” Oliver replied and put the baby back in her arms. “Hmm… that sounds like a good idea,” Arianna replied and laughed. “She troubled me for three hours before she decided to come out, so I am just wondering, how much more trouble should we be expecting now that she is out?” Oliver laughed softly, “I would say, all the trouble in the world, I mean her mom is stubborn and her Dad is obstinate, isn’t that enough reason to be a pain in the ass? But don’t worry, we would manage,” Oliver replied and they laughed “Where is Sammy and Rosie?” Aria queried. “We are right here,” Rosie replied and walked in with Sammy trailing behind. “Congratulations, Mrs. Gomez,” Sammy said with a smile.

“Sammy, you don’t have to be formal all the time,” Arianna replied and they laughed. “Don’t mind him sis, he is always thinking like a businessman,” Rosie added. “Hey, that is not true,” Sammy whined “Okay you two, not in here, if you want to argue, take it outside. Don’t bother my wife and daughter,” Oliver warned. “Yes sir,” Rosie replied sarcastically and shot a glance at Sammy. “It’s good that you two are here, the doctor said I have to stay back today and then tomorrow I can go home, I need a few things from home so Rosie, could you go get them for me?” “Sure, which of the homes? Ours or Oliver’s?” “Both…” Aria replied, dragging her words with one eye slightly closed. “Okay, we would go get whatever you need, I would carry her to the houses in my car,” Sammy offered. “Great, get me a pen and paper then, you would need a list.”
