15 and Pregnant

Chapter 22

I was now 39 weeks. In a week, I was going to give birth.

Brad moved in and we were now sleeping together and living together.

I woke up in pain.

"Brad." I woke him up.

"What?"

"I think I'm going into labor."

He quickly got up.

"Wait , are you sure these aren't just Braxton hicks contractions?" he asked.

"Brad, it's about a week until I am due. I can give birth early. I need to go to the hospital."

He got out of bed.

"Where are you going?"

"To get my clothes on and to wake your sister so she can drive us."

Priscilla drove us to the hospital.

When we finally got there, I slowly walked in.

They took me in and Dr. Johnson came in very soon.

"Ok Allison, you're not going into labor." said Dr. Johnson, "they are just Braxton hicks contractions."

I felt so stupid.

"It's ok, a lot of women come in here thinking they're going into labor when they aren't." she said.

"We hope to see you in a week when you really give birth." she winked at me and then smiled.

Priscilla then took Brad and I home.
