Chapter 9
I groaned and rolled over in bed, the baby was kicking the hell out of me and it felt like she was moving more than usual. She wanted out but I had at least another week or so.
"Baby, please calm down..." I sighed as I felt her roll again, for what felt like the third time in the past five minutes. "...please, Daddy will be back soon."
I curled up and pulled the blanket over me, receiving a sharp kick in the ribs as a response. I was starting to think that a week wasn't gonna happen, so apparently it was nap time. I closed my eyes and sighed to try and sleep, but it seemed to take forever...
"Hey, anyone here?"
I raised up and saw Hybrid walk in. "I'm in bed..."
"All alone?"
"Yeah..." I sighed.
"He shouldn't be leaving you alone now, it won't be long."
"Don't jinx me, I've got a week left..."
"I highly doubt that...I can see the baby move from here, you'll have her any day now."
"Hopefully he gets back soon..." I crossed my legs under me and Hybrid sat on the edge of the bed. "...didn't bring Sophie with you?"
"Nah, she's with her dad. I decided to come over just in case I was needed."
"I appreciate it, especially since you'll be delivering the baby." I flinched as I felt another kick right under my ribs, followed by some really strange cramps.
"Hey, you alright?"
"Yeah...that just...hurt a little..." I leaned back against the pillows as I was kicked again, harder this time and in multiple places.
"She REALLY wants out, doesn't she?"
"Yeah, she does..."
The two of us sat and watched the baby move until Hybrid stood.
"I'll be back."
I watched her walk off to the bathroom and sighed, flinching at yet another hard kick. I sat up straight and went to stand when something didn't quite feel right. I looked down and saw a large wet spot in the blanket.
"Oh, no..." I winced as a sharp pain shot through my lower back and down my legs. "Hybrid!"
She came rushing out of the bathroom. "What happened?!"
"My water just broke..."
