Jeffrey’s beloved wife Emeldha called to inform him she was on her way to the hospital, as she was in labour. Immediately Jeff’s face lit up! it was time. For nine months he had felt so useless, watching his beautiful wife carry their child, through the morning sickness, sleepless nights and midnight cravings. He had watched his wife endure it all. He had received a fair share of tantrums, and had enjoyed the laughter with her.
Often he wished he could be a part of what he thought was the most amazing experience ever which was pregnancy, but now was his turn to step in to the role he dreamt of for so long. He usually imagined what it would be like for him to carry this burden for her. He dreamt and craved for the day he would get to hold his sweet, beautiful angel of a daughter, in his hands. He dreamt of her growing up into a beautiful, successful and intelligent woman. He even thought of the day she would get to exchange vows, with that bright young man, with a future oozing with success!!
He hopped, skipped and jumped to his car. He was filled with excitement and joy like never before. He felt like crying and started laughing at the same time. He had never before experienced such ecstasy. His stomach grew butterflies which quickly turned melodious and gave him a serene and unruffled feeling.
As he arrived in the labour ward, his elation and euphoria was quickly drained. His joy and exhilaration quickly turned sour. He went into despair. Emeldha sat on the delivery bed, tomato red in the face with sweat. Her eyes were swollen; they told a story filled with hurt. Her lips were dry and chapped. Her hair was literally heaved off her scalp. This was not the woman he knew, she was different. Never in their life together had Jeffrey witnessed Emeldha in such a state, never had he seen his woman looking like this. He did not want to ask, he immediately rushed to her side and grabbed her hand and said “ your doing amazing love you are so brave and strong, I’m so proud of you” , Emeldha got so much joy and strength from those words of encouragement that she managed a great big push and their baby girl crowned.
Jeff had tears in his eyes he smiled at her. “one more push love, she is here our precious little bundle is here! His hand turned blue from Emeldha’s grip but her final push and a baby girl came out screaming and Jeff stared at his wife with joy and appreciation. She could not help but feel like she had just saved the world, she looked down and smiled all the pain long forgotten. They were both mesmerized by the beauty their little bundle had, they went silent for a moment, each feeling a joy never felt before.
Emeldha was handed the baby, she smiled with tears rolling down her chicks, shivering a bit, but at the same time happy and serene. Jeff looked on, his joy was indescribable..he just smiled endlessly..
