3 days later...

"Oh my god, if I get Braxton hicks one more time, I'm gonna lose my mind."

"What does it feel like?" Billie asks. "They're like contractions, but they're not." I shrug.

"Well I don't know what either of those feel like, so I can't say much." She chuckles.

"I just want this damn baby out of me." I sigh. "I love him, but damn, does he make me crazy."

"Hopefully soon, baby." Billie says, rubbing my stomach. "I think I'm just gonna take a nap and try to sleep it off." I reply.

"Okay. I'll sleep too. I'm tired." She says. "Alright." I nod. Billie kisses my forehead and I lay my head on her chest. She wraps her arms around me and I close my eyes.

I wake up with a horrible pain in my stomach and I get up to go to the bathroom. I walk slowly, grabbing my stomach in pain.

As I get to the bathroom door, I hear a pop sound. I look at the floor and notice water, dripping down my legs.

Fuck.

I turn back to the bed and shake Billie awake. "What's wrong, mama?" She asks worriedly.

"My water broke." I answer. "Shit." Billie replies. "Okay, baby, let's get you to the hospital."

"Okay."

Billie helps me change my pants and gets my shoes on. We say goodbye to Shark after giving him food and water, then get in the car.

"It hurts so bad." I groan in pain. "I know, Lovey, but the doctor's are gonna help you." Billie says.

Once we get to the hospital, Billie helps me inside and we sign in at the front desk. The nurses come out with a wheelchair and wheel me into a room.

They hand me a hospital gown and instruct me to get changed. Billie helps me get into it in the bathroom before helping me lay on the bed.

"The doctor will be in soon." The nurse says after finishing checking my vitals.

I thank her and she walks out of the room.

"I'm nervous, B." I say. "I'm actually about to have a baby."

"We got this, baby." She tells me. "Maybe you do. You're not the one who has to push out a baby. And I know damn well he'll have a big head just like his bum ass father!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, Lovey, you need to chill. Everything is gonna be okay, baby. Just relax." Billie says. "You promise?" I ask. "I promise." She smiles softly.

I squeeze her hand as the doctor comes in and she greets us with a smile. "Hi, girls. I'm Dr. Matarazzo and I'll be delivering your baby."

"Nice to meet you." I smile nervously. "So you say your water broke and you're having contractions, right?" She asks. "Yes." I nod. "May I check to see how many centimeters dilated you are?" The doctor says.

"Sure." I reply.

She lifts up my gown as she sits down. "You're only about 2 centimeters dilated, so it looks like it's gonna be a long time till you actually give birth."
