"Wait! No! I think there is a heartbeat... a very faint one though." 

"Is is is the the baby okay?!" 

"Mate, we're gonna take your wife to the hospital... she might need to have the baby now..."

Great.. finding out she's pregnant and she's gonna have it in like 20 minutes! Poor Joel couldn't wrap his head around it! 

"So let me get this straight.. my wife is pregnant and about to have the baby in a couple of hours or in a couple of days?"

"Oh mate, no! This baby will be here in a matter of minutes!"

"What?!"

"Yep! She's in labour! We believe she was actually experiencing painful contractions before collapsing. We think she may have collapsed because of the pain."

"Why didn't she tell me?!" Joel muttered under his breath. 

"She's waking up.."

Joel rushed over next to Moriah. 

"Moriah? Moriah?" He whispered. 

"Huh?"

"Darling!" 

"What?! Oooh! My stomach hurts!"

"I know, my love! You're pregnant! The baby is about to arrive.."

"HOW MANY MONTHS AM I?! IS THE BABY OKAY?!?!?" 

"They don't know. They said you're about 2 and a half months pregnant.."

"But the baby is supposed to be in there for 9!"

"I know! They are really concer-"

"Owwwww!"

"I know sweetie! BIG breaths okay? I know it's really painful but I know how strong you are!"

"Owwwwwwww..owwwwww!"

"I know Moriah! It's gonna be okay, I'm here with you! Big breaths, you're doing SO well! Breathe in..." Joel breathed with her. "Breathe out........... good girl! Again. Breathe in..... breathe out............ good job! You're doing so well my dear! So so well!"

"Aahhhww.. it REALLY hurts now Joel!"

"I know! You're so brave! Our baby is right there!" 

"Moriah? You're almost ready to push, would you like to do some practice pushes beforehand?"Gordon called. 

"Yeah."

"Alright! I want you to push really hard from your bellybutton down, okay?"

"Ooooohhhhww.. it's really sore!"

"you're doing amazing though sweetheart!" 

"Ow ow ow ow! I can't do any more.."

"That's okay! Take a rest for a minute." Gordon smiled. "You are doing AMAZING!"

"Oh."

"What, my love?"

"I I I think I'm gonna be sick.."

"Okay. Here's a sick bag." Gordon said, handing the bag to Moriah. 

"Blaagh!" (Sorry readers!) 

"It's alright my dear, you are doing great!"

"Why did I throw up?" 

"Well, in some women, they can't take the pain anymore and their body's response is to throw up." Sally answered. (She's the paramedic, not me? Im just writing what happened... okay I know I know it's my story but I don't know.. I feel like I need to do a Dr course before I write romantic fan fics! 😂 ANYWAY onto the story!)
