Drew and Ali were cuddled together on the couch
watching some t.v. movie. Drew honestly wasn't sure what it was about, he was half-asleep,
his head resting on Ali's shoulder, "Let's go to bed," he mumbled against her
hair.
Ali nodded, "Aww, is Drewy tired?" she teased.
"Extremely," he agreed, kissing her cheek.
Ali stood up, "I need a shower," she stretched, trying to
ease the tension in her lower back. The sooner the baby was born the better. He or she was
already three days late.
"Think the baby will be born tomorrow?" Drew asked, resting
his hand on her stomach.
"Enjoy that while it lasts," Ali said, smiling at him,
"And we can't exactly decide when he or she should be born, its just one of those
things"
Drew smiled, "I know, I'm just tired of waiting!" he whined.
"You're not the one carrying them sweetheart," Ali said, as
they made their way upstairs.
Drew grinned at her affectionately as he fell back onto the bed.
"I know, just hurry up in there!" he called after her.
Ali sighed as the water pounded on her back. If she didn't go into
labor within the next 24 hours, they were going to induce the labor. She wasn't exactly
thrilled with that prospect. For some reason, it sounded awful to her, even though she
knew it was in everyone's best interest. She was lost in this train of thoughts when
suddenly it hit her that she no longer felt the pressure on her stomach. Her water had
broken. She stood there for a moment, completely stunned. After a few moments, she quickly
finished her shower and hurriedly dressed, knowing she didn't have to be at the hospital
quite yet
When she was finally dressed, she made her way into the bedroom to get
Drew into action. She s shook his shoulder, "Drew, get up. Drew..its time to get up,
come on," she said urgently.
"Mmm? But its so early," he groaned, his eyes slowly opening,
"I thought you were going to go to sleep?" he asked, confused.
"Drew, its time to go."
"Go where?"
"Drew, my water broke."
"What water..." he asked slowly, suddenly sitting up,
"OH THAT WATER!" he said, suddenly wide awake, "Its time?"
"Its time," Ali confirmed, as the first contraction hit.
Drew's eyes widened as he realized this was it, "Are you OK? Oh
shit, you're having a contraction! Breathe through it..you're doing great Ali," he
encouraged, ready to grab her bag and rush to the hospital.
"Let's go."
