I groaned as I leant my head back against the sofa, my hand caressing my belly gently in attempt of soothing any of the pain. All I wanted was to eat a whole tub of ice cream and get into bed, and so I texted Ethan.

I smiled as I looked back at my phone, the smile fading when I stood up, only to feel what felt like water. I looked down, my joggy bottoms damp and my eyes wide, as I quickly sat back down onto the sofa.

Within seconds I'd picked up my phone, my finger pressing onto Ethan's contact name shakily. The boy answered straight away, a laugh leaving his lips.
" I've already told you, babe, I'm getting you the cookie dough, ice cream. do you need something el- " He giggled into the phone, only for my heavy breathing and terrified sounding words to cut him off.
" my water just broke " was all I managed to say, silence following immediately after.
I had to look at my phone to see if he was still there, until he spoke up nervously.
" and you're sure you didn't just spill your water again? you did that a few days ago and started screaming- "
" no, I haven't wet myself, Ethan! it's real this time! " I yelled, a shriek escaping my lips after at the contractions I'd been having for a while, only to hear Ethan let out a gasp of fear.
" I'm coming home right now, hol... just hold on " he began, the sound of his panic filled voice heard from over the phone " Grayson! tell mom and dad to meet us at the hospital! "
It was silent, the sound of his brother's voice was muffled, but Ethan's after was clear.
" because she's going into labour you dipshit! what do you think? "

The front door burst open and in came Ethan, his breathing heavy and his eyes wide when he saw me.
" oh my god, are you okay? " he asked me, helping me stand up as he wrapped an arm around my waist.
" brilliant " I said sarcastically, a breath of air leaving his lips as he held back his smile.
" I can't believe this is happening. you're about to pop out two kids and you're still being sarcastic " He chuckled as he lead me out of the house and into the car, buckling me in and kissing my forehead.
I sucked in a breath from the pain, my eyes squeezing shut as he rushed back into the house. He came out nearly immediately after with the bag we'd packed, filled with everything we needed.
I blinked and he was back in the car, holding my hand tightly in his as he drove towards the hospital. Such a small action made me smile a little, the pain unbearable, but the though that I was about to see my two babies for the first time lingering in the back of my mind.

I just couldn't believe this was real.
