Wasn't expecting that

Its time

Raf lies awake for around twenty minutes wondering if Cara is actually in nearly labour or its just Braxton hicks.

He looks at her and she seems to be sleeping quite peacefully so he decide to go to sleep himself.

Half way through the night Cara wakes and goes to the toilet. She waddles to the toilet and goes, she is in a lot of discomfort and pain.

She finishes on the toilet and washes her hands before heading back to the bathroom. She starts to pace the bedroom as she is in a lot of pain.

"If your going to make an appearance please do it now... Don't leave me in pain" Cara says.

Raf starts to stir and Cara panics and sits down on the bed pretending she's fine.

"What's up?" Raf mumbles.

"Nothing just very hot" Cara says as she flaps her top a little.

"I'll open the window" he says as he gets out of bed.

She grabs the bed sheets when Raf isn't looking and holds them tightly. "There we go, both windows are open, you can sleep on my side if you like?" he suggests as he turns around.

"I'm... Fine where I am, thank you" Cara whispers, Raf nods and smiles.

Cara bites her lip and bares the pain as we back starts to hurt again, but the pain seems to move to her stomach this time.

"Cara what's up?" he asks.

Cara bites her lip and shakes her head "nothing's wrong" she says quickly.

"Okay you just look in pain" he says as he gets back into bed.

"My back just aches... I'll be fine" she smiles.

"Get back into bed" he smiles as he lies down.

"What do you think I'm doing Einstein"Cara mutters.

"Calm yourself" he laughs.

"Forgodsake Raf! I can't stay bloody calm, I'm in pain okay!" she shouts as she gets up and waddles to the lounge.

"Get back in bed you stupid woman... Your not doing the baby any good" raf says.

Raf rolls over in the bed as goes back to sleep. He sleeps for another few hours and wakens again early in the morning to the sun shining through the curtain.

Raf lies on the bed for a while starring at the ceiling. Cara had obviously slept the night on the sofa as she wasn't lying next to him.

He can hear Cara in the shower so he knows she's up and about. He gets up and calls in to her to see if she's alright, "how are you feeling Caz?" he shouts.

Cara says nothing as she doesn't hear him and he watches as she bends over a little in the shower and breathes unevenly.

He decides to leave her be and go make them breakfast while she's in the shower.

Cara comes down as soon as Raf's finished his breakfast.

"Morning, how you feeling?" he asks as he finishes off his coffee.

"Ask me something else please" Cara huffs.

"Alright well, what would you like for breakfast?" he asks.

"Just a glass of water" Cara says. Raf nods and gets her an ice cold glass of water. "Can I have a banana?" Cara asks him.

Raf nods and hands her one. Cara smiles and eats the banana. "I don't think I can wait another 6 days for this one" she groans walking up and down the kitchen;

Raf smiles at her sympathetically "yes you can" he smiles. "We can go out today, try not to think about it" Raf smiles.

"What me walk? Ha! No!" Cara says.

Raf laughs, "I booked us lunch, no walking involved" he smiles.

Cara smiles, "where is it?" Cara asks.

"Some restaurant down in the town" he smiles.

Cara smiles a little and rubs her bump. "Okay, but as soon as we're finished were coming back here" Cara says.

"Yeah of course, why?" he asks curiously.

"Just tired" Cara replies. "Didn't sleep well at all" she says.

"I can guess" Raf smiles.

Cara laughs and goes to sit down in the lounge. Cara smiles happily as she sits down and Raf comes over to her.

"How are you feeling?" he asks.

"Tried" Cara says.

"I know" he laughs as he strokes her bump.

Cara smiles and let's him carry on stroking her bump. She smiles through the pain as she doesn't want Raf to panic.

Cara lies back on the sofa and smiles at Raf. "It's nice spending time with you" she smiles.

"I know, some quality time with my girl before this one comes along" Raf says.

Cara smiles, "Well I better go get ready and I need to pee again" she laughs.

Raf laughs and watches as she waddles off to the toilet. She gets to the toilet and really does start to panic as she is in pain.

Cara moans and holds onto the sink. She walks around the bathroom a little to see if it will help.

"Caz are you ready?" Raf shouts as he comes to the bathroom.

"Erm yeah give me a sec" she shouts.

Cara takes a deep breath and decides to check another way to see if the baby is coming.

She just about manages to get on foot up on the toilet lid so she is able to check what's going on. "Oh fuck" Cara mutters as she realises that she's close to active labour.

She tries not to panic and quickly gets ready to go out with Raf to take her mind of it.

Cara takes some deep breaths and heads out to Raf. She gets into the car with a great amount of difficulty.

"Alright?" Raf asks.

Cara nods and smiles but grips the seat as the head off. They get down the road and Cara finally cries out in pain as she can't take the pain much longer.

"Caz what's wrong?" Raf panics as they are stopped at a set of traffic lights.

She says nothing and throws her head back slightly and breathes heavily. "I'm fine, baby is just giving me a rough time" she says gritting her teeth.

Raf glances over at her and notices a wet patch on her jeans, "Caz?" Raf panics.

"Oh god... No... My waters have broken" Cara says as she looks at her lap and feels water trickling too.
