The Unexpected. [Secuel To The Unknown] {Eric FF}

Thirty Four.

"How is everything Morgan?" Anne said walking into the apartment, she had been making daily visits to check on Morgan, since she was 39 weeks and could enter labor in any minute.

"I've been having contractions" she said resting on the counter as she touched her stomach, Anne walked to her and pressed her hands on the bump. "These are different"

"Different?"

"These ones hurt, only a bit."

"How frequent are they" Morgan eyed Eric to answer

"About 45 minutes apart"

"Well" she said looking at Morgan and placing her hands on her shoulders "you might be getting into labor"

Morgan widened her eyes

"What like right now?"

"No, but you might be starting to dilate, as soon as your water breaks or you contractions are five minutes apart and longer, you have to come to the infirmary. I'll have a room set up for you now"

"OK, so what do I do?" She said with a worried frown

"For now, relax, this process could take hours, try to sleep as much as you can between contractions and drink a lot of liquids, I bet you can breath a bit better now. It's because the baby has already descended and it's away from your lungs."

"Oh my god" she whispered and threw her head back, Eric's hand came to her shoulder to support her.

"Keep calm, you can read, take a bath, you relax Morgan" he patted her shoulder and sent Eric a smile "I'll be coming around more often to see how you're feeling"

"OK" she breathed out and nodded.

Eric walked Anne out of the apartment and turned to Morgan with a smile.

"It's almost time" he said as he walked to her, Morgan nodded and looked at him.

"I know we've read a lot about labor and birth but I feel like I know nothing" she said rapidly as she shook her head, Eric walked to her and held her to him, as much as her big bump would allow her.

"I'll be right here all day for you" Morgan nodded and looked at him, leaning back on the counter again. "Now we just have to wait"

"If I get really bitchy in the next hours I'm sorry in advance"

"Don't be" he said cupping her cheek. He leaned in and kissed her lips quietly

"Just keep walking it off Morgan" Creed said from the couch, Morgan walked side to side touching her stomach.

"I can't keep wa-" she gasped and threw her hand to hold herself to the wall

"Another one?" Eric said looking at his watch, Morgan grunted in affirmation as she nodded. Eric stood up and placed his hand on her back

"Do not fucking touch me!" She grunted at him as she swatted his hand away. Creed chuckled at her from the couch "and you shut the fuck up"

Her shoulders dropped down as she took a fast breaths

"That's 8 minutes apart, does that count? Should we go to the infirmary?".

"Depends on how dilated she is"

Almost on queue the door knocked, Creed sprinted to it to open it, it came Anne looking for Morgan in the room.

"And, how are we?"

"I'm in the seventh circle of hell right now, thank you for asking" Morgan said as she furrowed her eyebrow and tried to stand straight, placing her hand in the low of her back
