36 weeks pregnant

The last few weeks had been spent together, mostly at home. Jen was struggling to walk around now and they were all ready and waiting for the big day. She'd been going to her doctors appointments regularly and although the baby was still quite small, she was healthy.

Jen was observing Justin putting some shelves up in the nursery.

"Can you believe one little person has more stuff than the both of us together?" Justin joked.

"I know. Everyone keeps passing things onto us but I don't have the heart to tell them we already have enough."

"She's spoilt before she's even here. We're definitely kitted out for the next 5 years at least."

They step back taking a look at the finished nursery.

"You've done such a great job honey, it looks fabulous" Jen leans into Justin's side.

"All that's left now is for her to arrival" he kissed the side of her head.

"Ouch" Jen gripped her bump.

"What's wrong?" Justin looked at her concerned.

"That was one hell of a kick" she lifted her head to smile cutely at Justin.

Justin moves his hand along her bump, feeling their daughter's movement.

"She's giving her approval of her new room" Jen added.

"Come on, you go sit down and I'll make us some lunch" Justin lead her downstairs.

They spent the rest of the day sitting in the garden with Dolly and making the most of their time together.


Jen woke suddenly in the night to a sharp pain ripping through her body. She shot up in excruciating pain.

Justin awoke to see her crouching over on the bed, rubbing her belly.

"Baby are you okay?" he rubbed her back.

"I...OW! I can't...Oh my god the pain" Jen grumbles.

"Jen what's going on?" as he moves in front of her, he notices the wet bed sheets.

They make eye contact slowly.

"I think my waters have broke" Jen whispers, still crouching in pain.

They stare at each other bewildered for a moment.

"Okay, right.. erm.. yeah.. let's get going." Justin starts to get off the bed, looking around in shock.

He slowly helps her to the edge of the bed.

"Stay there, I'll get your bag" he rushes to the next room to grab her hospital back.

"Okay, got it. We need to go" he continues whilst Jen occasionally screams out in pain.

"I'm scared Justin... She's still early" Jen mumbles in between breaths.

"It's okay baby. The doctor said she's healthy. Everything's going to be alright" he reassures her as helps her down to the car.


Shortly after, they arrive at the hospital.

"You're 6cm dilated Jennifer. Not much further to go but we don't know how long it'll be. For now though, you're doing everything perfect. Keep calm, keep relaxed and shout us if you need anything. I'll be back shortly to check again" The doctor finishes examining Jen.

"Thanks Doctor" Justin answers as she leaves the room.

"You're doing amazing baby" Justin strokes Jen's head.
