It was July 15th. Emily couldn't believe that in just nine days she'd be giving birth to her and Sam's baby. Her stomach had doubled in size. As she got closer to giving birth she got more excited but also more afraid. She still had a fear that something would go wrong. She was on maternity leave. She couldn't travel anymore because she was in her third trimester. She was home alone and had just finished breakfast. Her video chat ring on her phone went off. She pressed the button to connect. Penelope and Sam popped up.

"Hi mommy." Penelope said.

"Hi."

"How's the baby?"

"It's fine." "It's really been really kicking me today."

"I miss you."

"I miss you to but you and daddy will be home next week."

"I know I just feel like we should be there with you." "I'm gonna let daddy talk to you now." "I love you and the baby."

"We love you too." "Bye."

"Bye." She got up.

"How are you feeling?" Sam asked.

"I could use a full body massage." Emily said.

"Well I'll tell you what, when I get home I'll get some massage oil and rub you down from head to toe."

"That sounds great."

"Good." "I miss you."

"I miss you to."

"I can't believe there's only nine days left."

"I know."

He noticed worry on her face. "What's a matter?"

"I'm excited about the baby coming."

"But?"

"I'm just still afraid something's gonna go wrong."

"I get why you have anxiety but you don't have to." "Everything will be fine."

"I hope so."

"It will." "I have to go but I'll call you later."

"I love you."

"I love you too." "Bye."

Later that night Emily was getting ready to make dinner when she heard a pop and wetness running down her leg. She looked down and saw that her water had broken. She called 911 then Sam but he didn't answer. So she called Austin.

"Hello?" Austin said.

"Austin where's Sam?"

"He's having his match."

"Ow!" She yelled.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm in labor."

"I'll go wait for him."

"Thanks."

Five minutes later Sam came to the back. Austin was waiting for him.

"Sam, Emily's in labor." Austin said.

"Shit." "It's gonna take me five hours to get from here to Atlanta." "Can you watch Penelope for me?

"Ok."
