Fighting Chance

Pre-labour Pains

This is my hardest chapter I've written. I've been thinking for days on ideas for it and reading different stories on here to get some ideas. I'll try and do my best with it.

Zosia POV

I'm now 34 weeks pregnant and today is my last shift  before going on maternity leave. Ollie has been off this past week decorating the babies nursery. I was so excited to meet my two boys, I feel so lucky. I will have three boys to love for the rest of my life.

"Hey Selfie J, you ready for your last shift for a while?" I'm greeted by Mo as I walk out the lift.

"Definitely, I'm feeling so tired and just want to relax for a bit".

As I was speaking to Mo I felt a sharp pain go through my stomach. I managed to turn away from Mo so that she didn't see. That was the third time this morning that it has happened. I really didn't want to think I was in labour, I couldn't be, the boys weren't ready to be born.

Ollie POV

I arrive at the hospital as Jac had phoned me saying that she had noticed Zosia wince in pain a few times. Jac said that she as tried speaking to Zosia but she just replied with her usual 'I'm fine' comment.

I walk onto Darwin to see Zosia speaking to one of the patients. I stand and watch her and notice her clench her stomach a couple of times. She walks to the nurses station and sits down on one of the chairs. I can hear her speaking to her bump.

"Please stop fighting boys, you're hurting mummy". This made me chuckle.

I walk over to her and I kneel down beside her. She still hasn't noticed me.

"Hey Zosh..."

Zosia POV

"Hey Zosh..." I hear from a familiar voice. I look up to see Ollie kneeling beside me.

"Why are you here? You're meant to be at home decorating."

"Jac phoned me. She said she had noticed you clenching your stomach a few times. I've just noticed you do exactly what Jac said a couple of times".

"Honestly Ollie I'm fine, the boys are just having a fight in here" I say rubbing my bump.

Just as I stood up to go back and check on my patient a gush of water flooded the floor.

"Ollie...OLLIE...they can't come yet, it's too early".

"It's okay Zosh, the boys will be fine. It'll all be fine" Ollie says trying to reassure me but I can see the panic in his face.

Just as Ollie picked me up to carry me to maternity, another gush landed on the floor, but this time it was a big red puddle.

Before I could say anything everything went black and I collapsed to the ground.

Bit of a shorter chapter to what I usually write. I have an idea but didn't want to do it all in one chapter cause it would be way too long and you guys might lose interest.
