Contractions kept coming and finally, the midwife came in and announced I was dilated 10cm and they rushed me to the delivery room...
With Mike by my side, I was forcing what felt like a world out of me! "Mike, come here!" Rach called from the waiting room. "WHAT! NO, DON'T LEAVE ME!" I screamed. Mike made a sad face and backed out from the door. I was breathing quickly and the pain was horrific but with Mike gone, it had all tripled. Suddenly, the door swung open and Mike and Joey ran in. "Pheebs, I am so sorr..." Joey started."Save it Joseph Francis Tribbiani! Get here now!" I shouted. He held my shaking hands. The doctor announced the head was visible and although my energy was draining fast, I couldn't give up. Finally, after what seemed like a life time, I heard the wailing scream of a baby... I had a baby boy. The midwife laid the tiny little person on my stomach. I reached out and held his tiny, little hands, then with the little remaining energy I had, I grabbed him and held him in my arms, he was so soft. Mike kissed me. "We're a family!" I nodded, too tired to speak, he kissed me again and took his son from my arms, little baby Joey... I slowly drifted into a soft, soundless sleep.
