"Call me if you need anything. I'll have my phone on vibrate and I'll have my ringtone on at all times." Tanzeel said grabbing his coat.

"Babe I'm fine. Unns is here with me and I don't think the baby is coming anytime soon. The Braxton Hicks are as normal as they've ever been."

"Go have fun. Don't let the thought of labour destroy the release for your album." Unna said reassuringly.

"Ok mom." He smiled and looked towards her. "And I'll see you soon." Tanzeel kissed her lips and her bump earning kicks from the little one.

"Oh yeah and don't forget about this." She handed him a bag of a change of clothing. "Just in case."

Ashi and unns said goodbye to Tanzeel. It was May 19th, Tanzeel's album was getting released tomorrow. He wanted to throw a release party to celebrate with his team and close friends that lived in the area. The night was filled with laughter and memory sharing. It was soon 10pm and the two of them were wide awake. Unns got up to refill her glass of juice when she felt a pain that felt different from the Braxton Hicks. She put her hands on top of her bump as another pain came, making her inhale sharply through her teeth.

"Unns?" She said, grabbing her sweater that she'd taken off a little bit ago.

"Yes darling what is it?" She came around the corner and put her glass of juice on the table.

"I think I'm having Braxton Hicks but they hurt differently."
"What do you mean by that."
"I mean that it's almost like a pressure like pain." "Alright. Let's see if they go away when you eat."

You nodded and got up having the feeling of just peeing herself. She walked a couple of more steps before something started to trail down her leg. Unns had already gone into the kitchen to prepare something for her. As gross as it was, it reached into her pants and felt the substance. It most definitely wasn't urine. Another contraction pain came over to her, causing more of the goop to come out. She took her hand out from her pants and looked at her fingers.

"Try eating thi." Unna stopped in her tracks. "Oh my god Ashu I think your mucus plug just went. "W-what?" She started to get scared. "What's a mucus plug?" "Don't worry. It's a natural thing that happens when your body gets itself ready for labour. That means you have at least a week before the baby comes . You and Tanzeel have time."

"Why is it so bloody?" "Some mucus plugs are like that. I was the same way with mannat." She put down the plate of food. "I'll get a bath going. It's quite gross to sit in it. Maybe go wash your hands so that it doesn't get anything messy."

She washed her hands then joined unns upstairs. She'd drawn her a bath as she settled into the warm water. She'd brung her the plate of food that she'd prepared earlier. "I'll be downstairs if you need anything." She smiled and left. Over the course of time that she was in the tub she started to get random contractions varying in different levels of pain. She'd never experienced this before in the Braxton Hicks. Tanzeel had texted her, making sure she was w ok. She told him that her mucus plug had went but it was nothing to worry about and that her or unns would call him if anything was wrong or hannen Once ten minutes had passed, unns got her out of the tub and into bed. The pains wouldn't stop coming back. That was one red flag since the false contractions would sometimes stop around the time her and Tanzeel went to bed.

She couldn't get to bed so she went downstairs to the kitchen. Standing up seemed to have made them worse. She bent over the counter top to breath through one of the pains.

"Are you ok Ashu?" What's wrong." "This pain just won't go away." She cried. "It just hurts too much." "Have you been timing them?"

"What?"

"Have you been timing them? If they're a certain amount of time apart and lasting for a certain amount of time, then you're in labour and I'll need to get you to a hospital."

"Yeah I have. They're about ten minutes apart and lasting for about almost a minute."

"Ok. We're gonna stay here until they reach five minutes. That's when we should go."

She nodded as the contraction came to an end. About half an hour had passed and the pain had gotten worse. It was all good until she had a gut feeling that was telling her to go to the hospital immediately.
