July 24th was an unassuming day in the life of Jiang Yingyue. She had grown accustomed to her new routine in the last 8 or so weeks since leaving university. A big part of that was dropping into the family company a few days a week to just help out around the office and get to know as many people as possible. Her father didn't want her working too much given her now late stage of pregnancy telling her that today would be the last visit she would make to the office. She could then have a relaxing final four weeks at home for the final preparations for the baby's arrival. 

Sure it wasn't like she was unprepared. The nursery existed. Most essential items had been brought but not everything was actually pieced together. The crib was the only thing that had been made and that was only yesterday. Everything else was still in its boxes awaiting assembly. So that would be where the next four weeks of her life would be focused. Watching her husband struggle to put things together as he refused to let her do anything even slightly taxing, before admitting defeat and calling one of the other boys for help. It also wouldn't help that when whoever arrived the pair of them would struggle until eventually all four boys had taken over her house once again. 

She wasn't doing much that day, other than sit at her desk and organise the files on her computer. Since her first time in the company building she had managed to cause enough upheave around the building to at least make it feel more safe for the other female members of staff. Of course she couldn't just fire everyone she didn't like, and therefore, it was still an area heavily dominated by old men who were edging on the slightly dodgy personality. But it was an improvement. 

She had also worked her way up slightly. Sure she had never actually had a starter role in the company but her father had made her do an 'accelerated' programme through the different positions in the company so she could understand what each employee did on a bit more of a deeper aspect. Therefore, right now she was a team leader. It was only a very small team of employees, she had six workers under her right now. And she was the only leader of an all female team in the building, and the first in the history of the company. 

Therefore, right now she had been organising files and replying to emails sent to her throughout the company. It was a typical morning for her in the office, she was only scheduled to work until four pm that afternoon when her maternity leave would begin. 

She had felt a little weird all morning, but put it down to just the pregnancy symptoms. It was a lie what people told you that their morning sickness and everything stopped after a couple weeks. That or Yingyue was really unlucky as it had followed her throughout the entire pregnancy. She hadn't been sick yet but she didn't feel perfect. The pregnancy glow also did not exist today. If she was being honest, she felt as though she had been hit by a truck. Little contraction like pains had been present since 9am that morning, but Braxton hicks were something she had been warned about. And therefore, she just assumed that's all she was going through. But she was not a fan of them. Not in the slightest. 

At 11am though, that all changed. Perhaps she should have listened to her mother when she told her that the females in her family didn't get Braxton hicks. That early labour was common. Because when her water broke at 11:03am she realised she was not experience a fantom labour. 

"Ew that's disgusting." Was her first thought before she realised what was going on. It was soon followed by a very loud shouting of. "Holy shit, this is not happening." 

Her loud shout was enough to gain the attention of the ladies working in the office space outside her own. For one of the women she worked with Ms Huang a lady in her mid thirties ,who had been nothing but supportive of Yingyue since they had started working together two months ago, came rushing into the room.
