Finding Our Way Back Home Can/Sanem

🌼Bonus 2🌼

His hold still tight just like it had been when they had been together...which now seemed like years ago...he would hold her like this with a force...like he never wanted to let her go...but he had...All of a sudden she didn't feel comfort in his arms. A twinge of pain had her jolting up in bed.

Biting her lips to stop the sound from leaving her mouth...after a few seconds it passed...oh God...this had happened before. Scratching her head this was just wishful thinking.

Thank God she hadn't woken anyone up...Layla slept next to her...she lay back down  draping Layla's arm over her. She needed to be held...it frightened her...even though she put on a brave face in front of the others.

She still longed for him even though he wasn't hers any more...not really knowing if he ever had been. She hadn't told the others but she had received the divorce papers a few weeks ago, after signing them she had sent them back

A single tear escaped her eye.

Again she felt a twinge of pain...looking at her clock it showed 2:20 breathing through it again thinking nothing of it.

3:30 every 10 min she had timed the pains...breathing throughshe was trying not to wake anyone. Ayhan had stayed over...normally she would stay with Asli but tonight she had insisted on staying here.

Again the pain came but this time it was strong and lasted a little longer than the previous one. Slowly getting out of bed she went into the bathroom.

Checking herself she found a small patch of fresh blood on her pad...going as quickly as she could to get her phone she came back. Calling the hospital...she explained everything... they told her to keep an eye on the blood...and a few other things to keep an eye out for. Other than that she should come in at her appointment time which was 9 in the morning.

Walking around she timed the contractions...she didn't want to wake anyone one until she couldn't take the pain anymore.

5:00 AM it was becoming slightly  unbearable...gripping onto the kitchen counter she gritted her teeth together trying to concentrate on her breathing technique.

"Sanem." Layla came out of the bedroom...rubbing her eyes when she realised what was happening she ran to her.

"Sanem are you Ok?"

Sanem was breathing through a contraction...the pain lasted a few minutes....they were now seven minutes apart.

"Abla..." she reached out her hand.

"How long?" Layla asked ...she was angry. "When did the pain start?"

Sanem was speaking between the pains "It started at 2:20...Ohh." The pain took over holding onto Layla's hands she breathed through the contraction.

"Slowly...breath in through you nose and out through your mouth." Repeating this until the contraction was over.

"So it's been nearly three hours when were you planning to wake us...when the baby was....Ayhan" Layla called.

"Stop Abla..."

"Stop what...we haven't come here to sleep...we're here for you Sanem. Why do you feel you have to carry everything on your shoulders... sweetheart I know we can't take the pain for you but we're here to do all we can..."

"What's happened?" Ayhan said yawning,

"Sanem's been in labour for three hours and she didn't bother waking us up...she might as well have gone to the hospital and called us after giving birth."

"Oh Abla...Stop exaggerating....Ohhh..." Another contraction....after breathing through it she went to the couch.

"I think we should call the hospital..." Ayhan said getting Sanems papers.
