A chance encounter
It was a warm day in London of 2013. I had been a pleasure trip. While visiting a mall there. After shopping I headed out to find a thin woman knocking on my car window. She was thin and lanky appearing pregnant and sickly to me.
"OMG ma'am are you alright?" I asked concerned.
"Can you help me to a birth center please? My water broke." She asked weakly but in pain. For a moment I hesitated. However seeing a trail of water behind her, I knew she was telling the truth. I quickly helped her into the passenger seat. With unstable we sped off. She moaned in pain and winced with every bump.
"What's your name Ma'am?" I asked
"Melanie Chisholm." She replied weakly. Suddenly a contraction hit.
"Angel help me." She screamed weakly.
"Who's Angel? My name is Janie." I said.
"I know, I always called you Angel. I'm your aunt." She said weakly.
"What!" I yelled slamming on the breaks.
"Hey why give me a whip lash?" Josh asked.
"Ah sis, my head hit the windshield." Rose added slamming into the windshield.
"My milkshake!" Charlie said.
"My coffee!" Callyann screeched.
"Not in the car." I said.
"This is bad for the baby." Melanie said weakly holding the belly.
"Sorry." I said and started the car again. Suddenly he body tensed up. Amid and convulsive shaking and groans as she breathed erratically. She let out a harsh scream as the pain peaked in her expression. She reached out and grabbed my free hand. She was in pain.
"We'll be there soon Aunt Mel." I said.
"I don't think I'll make it Angel." She screamed weakly, "wait what did you call me?"
"I called you Aunt Mel, you are my aunt right?" I asked sweetly.
"Yes I am. Thank you." She said slightly happily weakly as the contraction ended.
