Tough times never last, but tough people do

Chapter 18

Carrie's P.O.V.

I walk upstairs into Aubrey's room. I see her crying on her bed.

Carrie: "What's wrong?"

Aubrey: "I'm Sorry mom...."

Carrie: "It's Okay, just are you Okay?"

Aubrey: "My boyfriend broke up with me mom..."

Carrie: "Uh, boyfriend???"

Aubrey: "Yeah, that's why I've been so mad at everyone lately."

Carrie: "Okay. Well it's not like it was a real relationship sweetheart, so you'll get over it. I promise!"

A week later...
Carrie's P.O.V.

I wake up and I look at the clock. I realize I missed my alarm. Aubrey has to be at school in 15 minutes. I throw myself out of bed and run to Aubrey's room.

Carrie: "Aubrey, get up!"

Aubrey: "Is something wrong? Are you in labor mom?"

Carrie: "No, you have 10 minutes to get ready for school. Lets go. Hurry!"

Aubrey: "Okay."

Aubrey's P.O.V.

I get out of bed and immediately run to my closet. I pick out jeans and a shirt. I get changed and grab a pair of flats. I brush my hair and quickly braid it. After that I brush my teeth. When I'm done I grab my coat and run out the door. My mom is already waiting for me in the car, so when I get in we go. Before I know it we're at my school.

Carrie: "Have a good day sweetie."

Aubrey: "I Will, love you."

Carrie: "Love you too."

A month later...
Carrie's P.O.V.

I wake up feeling really good. My baby is due in three days, so I've been doing everything I can to just make this baby come. I get up and walk downstairs into the living room. I sit next to Aubrey who is already awake.

Carrie: "Good morning."

Aubrey: "Morning. Where's Mike? His truck isn't here."

Carrie: "He has hockey sweetheart. He'll be all the way out in Canada tonight."

Aubrey: "Oh, okay."

Carrie: "Are you hungry? I could make breakfast for the both of us if you want?"

Aubrey: "Yeah, sure."

I get up and walk over towards the kitchen. Before I know it, I feel a sharp pain in my stomach. Then liquid drops onto the floor and down my leg.

Carrie: "Dear God... Aubrey, call Ivey. Someone. Now."

I groan of the terrible pain I feel in my stomach. But I try to be as strong as possible.

Aubrey: "Why, what's wrong?"

Carrie: "I'm in labor and I can't drive. Help me to the couch."

Aubrey: "Oh my gosh.... Okay, okay."

Aubrey helps me to the couch and sits me down. She calls Ivey and I get another contraction. I scream lightly.

Aubrey: "Mom, I'm scared..."

Carrie: "It's okay. I'm gonna be fine. What did Ivey say?"

Aubrey: "She was already in town and that she'd be here in 5 minutes. Are you okay?"

Carrie: "Yeah, but this baby is coming now Aubrey! I don't know how much longer I can wait."

Aubrey: "Okay, let's just go outside and wait. She should be here soon mom. You have to wait I'm sorry."

Carrie: "Okay, I guess I can try..."

Aubrey: "I'm gonna call Mike."

Carrie: "Oh my gosh, Mike... He's gonna miss out on me giving labor."

Aubrey: "I'm sure he'll make it here in time mom."

Aubrey helps me outside and calls Mike. Mike started to freak out and said he was booking a flight now. But just then Ivey pulls up. I feel my contractions coming more often and faster. The pain is getting worse. Aubrey and I get into Ivey's car and we go straight to the hospital.
