Unbound (The Wild Ride)

"You gotta breathe for me baby. Breathe!" Jonathan exclaimed as Sasha took in short breaths and pushed with all of her might.

"You're doing great Sasha. Just push." I told her encouragingly.

She pushed again, tears running down her face as she cried out in pain.

"This fucking epidural isn't doing shit for me!" She yelled angrily.

I tried my hardest not to laugh as she squeezed the crap out of my hand as another contraction hit.

"Oww. Oww. Oww." I repeated.

"Oh fuck!" Sasha screamed, falling back against the pillows.

Jonathan leaned forward and pressed kisses along Sasha's forehead.

"You're doing great baby. We're almost done." Jonathan said.

"We? We?! You're the one that did this to me!" Sasha exclaimed.

Now I did laugh.

Even in labor Sasha is cracking me up.

Shows how special she is.

"Alright I'm starting to see the head. Sasha, I'm gonna need a big push." The doctor instructed.

Jonathan helped Sasha sit up as she started breathing like crazy and squeezed our hands as she started to push.

"Alright the baby is crowning. Another big push." The doctor said.

Sasha cried as she gave another push.

"The babies head is out. Once the shoulders are through you're done Sasha. You're doing great." The doctor said.

I peeked over the sheet and saw my nephews head.

The tears sprung to my eyes and I looked back at Sasha.

"Almost there Sasha. One more big push okay. You can do it baby. One more." I told her.

She gave one final push and fell back on the pillows.

A shrill cry filled the air and my tears fell freely as I saw my nephew being brought to Sasha's side.

I helped Sasha sit up as the baby was brought forward so she could see her son.

"A beautiful and healthy baby boy." The doctor said with a grin.

Sasha cried as Jonathan held her head and wiped at his tearing eyes.

Jonathan kissed Sasha's forehead gently.

"Want to cut the cord dad?" The nurse asked softly.

He nodded quickly and carefully snipped the cord, wanting to be careful.

I leaned forward and hugged Sasha as the doctors took the baby to be cleaned.

"He's beautiful you guys. I'm so proud of you two." I told them with a grin.

Sasha laid there, a tired smile on her face as she watched her sons every move.

I couldn't be happier for them.

They finally have their baby boy here with them.

He's going to be very loved.

"I'm going to get let everyone know the good news." I told them with a grin.

They didn't even hear me, their eyes were locked on their boy.

I smiled and made my way to the door.

I looked down at my sleeping nephew as I held him closely to my chest.

He's the most adorable thing I've ever set eyes on.

"Jonathan Bradford Medina." I whispered softly.

"He's beautiful isn't he?" Brian whispered next to me.

"He's gorgeous. The most precious baby I've ever seen." I said softly.

Brian leaned down next to me and watched me with my nephew.

"You look so happy." He said.

I looked up at him and grinned.

"I am happy. I've got a beautiful, healthy nephew. He's going to be the most loved baby in the world. I have an amazing family that is here for me no matter what. I have friends, that make me laugh and set me straight when I need it. And I have you. The love of my life. The man who saved me from myself, and from someone who wanted to hurt me. I have everything I could ever want." I told him sincerely.

"Everything you could ever want?" Brian asked me, looking up at me through his eyelashes.

"Yeeeeees. Why?" I asked him curiously.

Brian smiled and gently took Jonathan Jr. from me.

He handed him over to his daddy and came back over to me.

He kneeled next to me and held my hand tightly.

"Cynthia Medina. I love you more then anything in this world. You are my life and I'm willing to give you anything you want. You would make me the happiest man alive if you agreed to be my wife." Brian murmured softly.

My eyes widened in shock and my mouth dropped open.

"I love you so much. And I want to be yours forever. And I want you to be mine forever." Brian said softly.

My eyes filled with tears and I threw my arms around his neck.

"I love you. I love you so much." I said in between sobs.

"Is that a yes?" Brian asked with a laugh.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" I screamed, my smile never leaving my face.

Brian hugged me tightly and spun me around.

I love Brian with all of my heart.

Having him as a husband is the greatest thing I could've ever asked for.

Everything in my life is going great.

I have my nephew, who will be protected and loved and cherished.

I have all of the important people in my life who I would be nothing without.

And then I have Brian.

The man who changed my life for the better.

The man who loved me through all of my flaws.

And the man who ultimately saved me.

I love him.

And that's all that matters.

That's all that will ever matter.
