Colleen POV
The last couple of weeks things have settled down breathing wise since I get my shot everyday. It is putting Josh's mind at ease. He actually will leave me for longer than 10 minutes now. I am in the bathroom getting ready for the day while Josh is in the backyard with the kids. I step outside of the bathroom and feel a jabbing pain in my lower stomach. It stops me in my tracks. I continue walking to the kitchen to grab a coffee and pour myself one from the pot Josh just made. I hear a knock on the door so I walk over to grab it. Tara is smiling on the other side. "Hey Colleen! You are up and about today" she says stepping inside. "Josh doesnt know. He is in the backyard" I say laughing. I turn to walk back to the bedroom and grab the wall and stop. "Colleen?" Tara says running in front of me holding onto me. "Feels like contractions. This is the second one this morning" I say. "You had this with Jasmine too" she says as we quickly walk to the bedroom. I lay down and breathe. Tara peaks her head outside to Josh. "Hey Josh. I am here" she says to him. I hear him reply he will be right in. She nods and closes the door. "Holy shit another" I say grabbing onto my pillow. I am starting to panic. "Colleen I am calling Dr. Taylor ok?" She says. I nod. "You will be fine Colleen" she says sitting beside me rubbing my back. Josh walks in and looks at us. "Colleen I left you 15 minutes ago. Why are you crying?" He asks coming towards me. "Your breathing?" He asks holding my face. I shake my head. "Calling the doctor in to examine her" Tara says to him. I start to cry. "Will someone tell me why?" He asks getting angry. "Baby I am having contractions like with Jasmine" I whisper getting another one as I grab for him. "Colleen you need to come get me or tell me! My god babe" he says watching me breathe. Tara is listening to the babys heartbeat. "A little slow" she says. Josh looks pale. "I have to throw up" I say to him quickly. He grabs me our garbage can as I throw up into it. I am getting super emotional. This isn't good.
Dr Taylor comes in the room 10 minutes later. "Hey guys having some problems Colleen?" She asks rubbing my back. "Yes" I reply as Tara tells her everything. I see Dr Taylor get gloves on as I lay on my back. She is feeling around my lower stomach. I see Tara put some gel onto one of her gloved hands. "Colleen just relax ok?" She says. Josh is kissing my face as he holds me tight. She slides her hand into me as her other hand feels around my stomach. "A little dilated. Nothing major. I think you are getting contractions cause your body is feeling the pressure. This is the fourth baby in a very small amount of time" she says. I nod. "Stay off of your feet. The least amount of pressure on your cervix the better. Gonna give you some meds though to make sure they stop ok?" She asks. I nod. Josh is crying rubbing my belly as I lay on the bed practically naked. "Colleen this isn't going to be pleasant. I am sorry. She starts getting some gel ready and inserts it into me. It is so painful. Josh sits behind me and holds me as I cover my face. "Oh my god!" I am screaming. Josh is crying. "Babe almost done" he says quietly. "I am sorry Colleen. I know it hurts but we don't want this baby to come out today" she says. I start to breathe when I feel she is done. I start to cry as Josh hugs me tight kissing me over and over again. That was intense.
