Ben's Heart

Thought you hated me.

I was in between contractions as the "voice" had walked into the room.

At first, my vision was blurry until they had come closer.

It was Anna.

"Thought you hated me." I said.

Now, its my turn to have the attitude.

"I had given it a lot of time, and I know why you didn't want to tell me and I wanted to say I am sorry for getting upset."

I could tell she was sincere.

But I didn't care.

"Yeah. Well maybe I'm mad at you. Ever think about that?" I exclaimed.

I wasn't all that mad at her to begin with.

"Kind of. That was why I was so hesitant to come up here. I wanted to be with you, though." A tear welled up in her eye.

"We don't know how many centimeters dilated she is or anything, a nurse hasn't come to this room in about an hour." Ben was explaining to her how things were going.

My mind trailed from the subject as I started to think about why a nurse hasn't come in...

"I am so excited." I muttered.

"I'm happy for you, Soph." Anna was coming toward me to give me a hug.

When I looked down and saw my baby start to crown.

"OH MY GOD!!" I screamed.
