Remember10

She woke again early that same morning to a sharp pain in her stomach, it came and went quickly. Breathing in, trying to stay calm, she focused just staring at her belly and breathing. When no other pain came she slowly got out of bed and steadied herself on the bed while her legs woke up. She took a step and then froze when another pain hit her, feeling wetness spread down her legs and nightgown. Her water broke, Baby's coming! Smiling she reached behind and pressed the nurses button. Half a minute later her favorite nurse, Tara, was coming through the door. Tara stared for a few seconds then burst into activity, pushing the call button again, taking my arm to move into the bathroom and sending directions out to the responding nurses. In less than five minutes she was in a new gown, the floor clean and both her doctor and Charlie were on there way.

"Emily!" Charlie burst through the door almost colliding with a nurse on the way out.

"Charlie I'm fine, just Baby wanting out." She said laughing and returning his hug.

"The doctor should be here soon, My contractions are about ten minutes apart still but I'm already moving faster than expected."

"It will be okay, Dr. Raine is highly recommended and Dr. White promised to be there in case of any complications." Charlie said squeezing her hand.

She squeezed back then again harder as her muscles contracted.

When it stopped she sighed then picked up the knitting she had dropped when Charlie had come in. Charlie had brought her her knitting supplies and some of the things she had finished before the accident: baby hats, socks, and blankets. She was happy to find she remembered how to knit, glad to have not lost that skill. She was currently finishing a swaddling blanket, it was white with flecks of green throughout.

"Looks like your almost done," Charlie said touching the soft blanket.

"Yes, only a couple rows left, I hope to finish before Baby comes out, I thought I had more time," she said laughing.

The door opened and both her doctors walked in. 

"Hello Emily, Charlie. How are we this morning?" Asked Dr. Raine.

"Alright, hurts a little when it contracts but its pretty quick so I'm not complaining," she said with a shrug.

Dr. Raine smiled, "Alright, let's take a look and see how far along you are."

Charlie and Dr. White moved to stand at the window and Dr. Raine lifted the sheet covered her lower body.

"You are moving fast! It may be only a few minutes before you have to start pushing,"

"Really? Wow, I thought I'd be doing this for hours!" She smiled that turned into a grimace, when it contracted again.

"That was about three and a half minutes," said Tara, while updating her chart.

"Alright, well let's get you moved down to the operating room, we aren't expecting any trouble but with your medical history it's better to be cautious. Okay?" Dr. Raine asked with a look to Emily then Charlie, judging their reactions.

"Alright," they said at the same time.

The doctors both smiled, "We'll see you down there," Dr. White said and held the door for Dr. Raine to preced him.

Another nurse walked in and she and Tara unhooked the wires from her bed and pushed her out the door. Charlie followed close behind.
