My Joy But Pain

Chapter 19

   I'm finally nine months pregnant and I've been ordered to stay in bed till I'm in labor. Also not to mention but my due date is tomorrow. Now that it's summer Trevor, graduated high school but now I just have to graduate. Unfortunately I have one more month of schooling till I can graduate but I can't finish it till I have the twins. I hear a knock on the door and look up from my phone.

" Hey baby. How are you feeling?" Trevor asks with a tray in his hands, walking towards me.

" I feel fine. Tired if you want complete detail. Thank you for bringing me lunch. " He bends down and I kiss his lips.

" Anything for you." He tells me in a charming tone.

" Awe thanks baby." I say kissing him but quickly pull away when I feel a pain in my back.

" Are you okay?" He looks worried.

" Yeah I'm fine. I'm just gonna eat then take a nap. " He smiles and kisses my cheek.

" Okay. I'm gonna go downstairs and watch tv. Text me if you need anything. " He smiles once again and he leaves our room. I begin to eat the sandwich he made me but I end up not finishing it and going to sleep.

* Trevor's P.O.V *

  When I left the room I felt as if Vanessa was hiding something from me .  I shook it off anyways and continued to walk down the stairs.

  " Trevor could you help me?"  Karen asks.

  " Yes?" I ask as I step into the kitchen.

  " I need help getting that bowl down. I'm too short to reach it. Those damn high cabinets is the only thing I hate about this house." I laugh because she actually isn't very short but she is shorter than me and James. Next thing you know the bowl slips out of my hands and falls, shattering completely.

  " Shit, don't move. Ill bring you some shoes." I order Karen and she stays put. I get the broom and begin to sweep the floor while Karen takes a wet towel and gets the really small pieces.

  " Trevor, we are gonna have to to get a new bowl. I have to go shopping anyways. Will you go with me? I hate going alone. " She asks politely but I think about Vanessa.

  " Let me go check on Vanessa and if she is fine I'll go." I walk up the stairs and peek in. Vanessa is sleeping peacefully. I think she will be fine. I head back downstairs and slip on my jacket.

  " We are good to go." After that we head out the door and go shopping.

*Vanessa's P.O.V*

   When I wake up it's almost four O'clock. I feel a sharp pain again in my back and decide to take a bath. I fill up the tub making sure the temperature is warm not hot. When I feel the pain again it makes me almost drop to the floor. I look at my phone and debate on texting Trevor. I decide not to and get in the warm bath after I stripped down. I keep the phone in my reach as I get into the tub. The water feels nice and I hope it helps these back pains go away. About five minutes into my bath the pain in my back is back. I pick up my phone and call Trevor.

   " Hello?" Trevor says .

  " Baby, somethings not right. " 

  " What's going on? What's wrong?  "

  " I have a pain in my back and it won't go away. Can you please come upstairs. " Trevor mumbles a few words in the background that I can't make out.

  " Vanessa I'm at the store. Your mom said you're going into labor. Is your father home?"  He asks.

  " I don't know. I think so. Meet me at the hospital okay? I have to go. "  What am I going to do.

" Dad!! Dad! " I yell covering myself up. In a few seconds he comes busting into the bathroom out of breath.

  " What's wrong?" Does he really need to ask?

  " I have to go to the hospital. Now." I get my towel and drain the water. I look over and still see my father there.  " Can you turn around?" I say very frustrated. Once my words get through his head he turns around . I carefully get up and wrap my towel around myself. I step out and sit on the side of the tub.  " Okay, can you go put the bags in the car. I'll get dressed, just keep an open ear. " He turns around and nods then leaves. I pull on some underwear and throw a sports bra on. I pick out some shorts and a tank top then make my way downstairs. I check to make sure I have everything and thankfully I do. I put on my flip flops and make my way to the car. I feel a pain in my back again and stop. My dad comes in and stands there looking at me.

  " Are you ready? " He asks. I give him a glare and he puts his hands up in defense.  " I'm not good at this. Just ask your mother." Oh I believe it. I shoot him another glare and begin walking to the car again. Once I'm finally in he starts the car and drives to the hospital. I begin calling people, starting with Tessa .

  " Hello?" She says slightly moaning.. WTF, is she having sex?

  " Tess, I need you to meet us at the hospital. These babies are coming. So if- " I was cut of by myself when I felt a even stronger pain in my back. I grab my stomach and breathe.  " So if you want to be there when they are born. You better get ready now because we are almost to the hospital." She tells someone to stop and to get out.

  " Okay. I'll be there. See you there." I hang up and call my grandma.

  " Hello sweetheart. "

  " Hi grandma. Meet us at the hospital okay? I love you. " I hang up as I feel the pain return. Finally the hospital is in my sight and I feel relieved.

  " Before we go in, I want to tell you something. Okay here I go. Vanessa I wasn't there for your birth. I didn't take your mother to the hospital. I didn't do any of this and I want to say I'm sorry. I was too busy caught up in my work to spend time with my family that I love deeply. I want to be there for my grandchildren and I'm glad you've given me a chance to redeem myself. Can you forgive me?" He looks over at me and I burst out in tears. He parks the car and turns it off.

  "Oh daddy! Of course I do. " I lean over the seat and hug him to the best of my ability and cry on his shoulder. Once I stop crying we get out of the car and I quickly waddle inside.
  " I need a wheelchair or something. I've gone into labor." A nurse gets up and wheels one over to me. I sit in the chair and a contraction comes. My dad comes with my bags and they wheel me to the maternity part of the hospital. When I get settled into the bed I get a phone call from Trevor.

   " Baby, I don't know if we will make it in time."  Suddenly my whole world stopped. Those words paralyzed me. Someone kept saying my name but I couldn't answer. My phone finally slipped from my hand. I began crying but never moved. This couldn't be happening.
