Flicker in the Night

Valentina

As I started to come around pain shot up from my lower stomach making me sit up in pain. Placing my hands on my stomach rubbing light but the pain only got worst. I looked around the room and didn't find Strider anywhere. I cried out when the pain shot from my lower back that's when I felt something pool between my legs. I threw the blankets off and panicked

My water broke.

My breathing was coming out harder by the minute as the pain intensive "Strider!" tears started to come down my cheeks. I started to get even more scared why he didn't answer? Was he even in the house? "Strider!"

Nothing.

I fell on my back crying out in pain. This can't be happening to me right now she can't be coming this is not the right time! She wasn't do for another month. I need to get to my phone. But where was it? With all the will I had I got up from the bed and started to make my way over to the living room. Where the hell was Strider at? A painful contraction hit me and I had to bend over in the hallway using the wall for support. Once I found my phone I called Strider. But before I hit call the back door opened. Strider walked in followed by Aiden "babe is everything okay?" He asked right away.

"Strider!" I cried "I think the baby is coming." Pain shot me again and I dropped my phone putting my hands on my stomach. I can here Strider calling my name but I couldn't focus no more.

"Valentina." I looked up to see his face come into view followed by Aiden "What happened. Did you fall or something?" he asked kneeling down in front of me.

I shook my head "it hurts, she can't be coming so soon." Strider sat behind me grabbing my hands. So I squeeze the hell out of them "Strider, I need to get to the hospital!"

He sighed out I can tell he was trying to calm down for my benefit "Can you pull the car out front. So we can take her to the hospital. We can get here there faster than calling 911." I understood why he asked it would take way too long.

Once we heard a honk outside we knew he had the car. Strider scooped me up and rushed outside. He didn't even bother to put our seat belts on. Aiden just speed down the street successfully missing cars. I was surprise cops didn't try to pull us over it felt like we were going at least ninety. As another contraction came, I dug my nails in to Striders arms. I wonder if I was hurting him.

Probably not,

Strider whispered soothing words to me each time the pain came. When I wasn't digging my nails into him he was lightly rubbing his hands up and down my thighs. It helped till the pain came back. I have never felt anything so pain full in my life. Tell me why we want to have kids? I felt sweat start form on my forehead "You're doing good baby. Just breathe and relax,"

"I'm trying but it hurts."

His thumb whipped away the tears then wrapped his hand on my cheek turning my head to look at him. Where he placed a light kiss "I know baby. I'm here for you."

I laid my head back on his chest "How much fucking longer, damn it!" I can hear in his voice he was a little panicky this time.

"Clam your shit, we're here. Get the fuck out and stop hammering me and shit." Aiden snapped out I felt anger build up a bit. They should not be fighting right now.

"Shut up and get me inside!" Aiden looked over at me smiling.

"Right behind you cupcake," I wanted to roll my eyes but I just wanted the pain to go away.

Strider opened the door and helped me out then swept me off my feet rushing inside "I need a doctor. My girlfriends is having our baby!" Strider bellowed.
