"Mommie when is Joshua coming?" Lachelle asked as we watched 101 Dalmatians.

"Soon baby girl. We just have to wait for him," I replied. Dave came into the living room with a bowl.

"Daddy when is Joshua coming?" she asked him as he gave the bowl to me and I saw it was watermelon.

"Hopefully soon. Lachelle how about you stop asking and we'll let you know when he's on his way," Dave responded with.

"But daddy I want to play with him," Lala said as he sat down beside me. She then got off the couch and went to stand in front of him.

"Well I know but you need to wait. We can't rush him out just because you want to play with him. He'll also be too small for you to play with when he gets here. You'll need to be gentle like you were with Stephen and baby Taylor ok," Dave said back as he picked her up and put her on his lap.

"I know but I still want him here," she responded with. I felt a faint pain at the top of my belly and closed my eyes and just breathed through it. It didn't last long and we managed to finish the movie and get Lachelle into bed before another one came.

"Contraction?" Dave asked as I stood beside the bed. I nodded my head and then got into bed once it was done.

"Ya they started shortly after you gave brought the watermelon to me. Thank you by the way," I said as I tried to get comfortable.

"You're welcome. Hey maybe he'll be here tomorrow and then he'll be like his sister," Dave responded with.

"Two days late and a week before my birthday? Oh he'll be exactly like his sister," I said with a chuckle. Dave put his hand on my belly and rubbed it a bit before bending down and giving it a kiss.

"You let your mommie get some sleep tonight young man. She's going to need it but I can't wait to meet you," he said. I smiled and rubbed my belly as he turned his bedside table light off and laid back down.

"I hope everything is going to be ok," I said as Dave moved closer to me.

"Everything will be ok. You still keep picturing the worst possible outcome and it's not good. It's not good for you or the baby," Dave said in response.

"I know but I just have a feeling that I can't shake. Something bad is coming," I replied.

Dave just kissed my cheek and told me to go to sleep and I tried. I laid there and stared at the ceiling for two hours before another contraction came. I eventually fell asleep but I didn't stay asleep. I woke up with every contraction that came and made a note on a piece of paper at the time it came. When Dave woke up at 10 I was still wide awake from the last contraction I had.

"Did you get any sleep during the night ?" Dave asked as I started getting up.

"Not really," I replied. I finally managed to get off the bed and another contraction came. Dave came over and rubbed by back and I tried to breathe through it but they were really starting to hurt.

"I can make Lachelle breakfast this morning. Get back into bed and I'll bring you some bacon and eggs when it's ready," Dave said.

"I'd rather just go downstairs and lay on the couch. It'd be easier to get down the stairs now then it will be later. Plus you and I both know Lachelle is going to be all over me and it's easier to keep her occupied downstairs," I responded with.

"Guess you're right. Come on I'll help you down the stairs," Dave said. We headed out of our room and started down the stairs where we heard noises coming from the kitchen. When we walked in Lachelle was playing with Rumpel. When she saw Dave and I she ran over to us and he picked her up.
