Jonah and I were talking while restocking shelfs when there was a scream, coming from the check outs.

"What the hell?" Jonah asked as we both ran to the check out.

There Cheyenne was doubled over almost falling to the ground holding her stomach, Amy was behind her holding her up.

"Okay. Time to go to the hospital?" She asked Cheyenne softly.

"I don't think I'm gonna make it to the hospital." The younger girl told her.

"I think I'm having this baby here!"

"Okay." Glenn yelled.

"We need towels. Someone run to the store and buy some towels!" He yelled as I cleared my throat.

"No, wait! We're a store!" Glenn finally realized.

"Get some towels!" He told Mateo.

"On it." Mateo ran.

"You're not gonna have the baby in the store." Amy said softly.

"You have plenty of time, Chey." I went down to her level.

"And it could be false labor. You know? That's called a Braxton Hicks contraction." Jonah spoke up as I glared at him.

"This baby is not gonna be born in Cloud 9." I told Cheyenne softly.

"Maybe it's Braxton Hicks." Jonah said again.

"Okay, we get it. You know the term Braxton Hicks." Amy rolled her eyes.

"We're all very impressed love." I told him.

"No, I'm having this baby here." Cheyenne yelled again.

"Okay, this is it! This is happening!" Glenn yelled.

"I feel nothing." Dina replied.



Amy and I held onto Cheyenne, helping her to the camping display to lay down while Garrett spoke on the intercom.

"Attention, shoppers. Is there a doctor in the..." He stopped.

"Who am I kidding? This is Cloud 9. Anybody here watched a lot of "Grey's Anatomy"? Maybe "Nurse Jackie"? Not "The Knick"." I rolled my eyes.



Amy and I sat on either side of Cheyenne, holding onto her hands as she breathed hard.

"Move! Pharmacist coming through." Tate yelled. 

"Step aside. I need room." He kneeled down in front of her.

"All right, Cheyenne. I need you to listen to me here, and we will get through this." The girl nodded.

"Now, in the last 24 hours, have you taken any medication I need to know about?" He asked.

"Just some Tums."
