Chapter 12:

Miracle

The man's shrill voice broke us apart with a jump as we both whirled round towards the sound to find the frantic man holding onto a very pregnant woman who looked about ready to burst at any moment. The woman let out a scream of pain as she clutched her swollen belly breathing heavily. My eyes snapped back up to Edward's as we both looked back at each other with shock and panic stricken faces. My mind quickly raced with questions on how we could help this woman and I hoped that my eyes would convey my worries to Edward since I couldn't find my voice at the moment. His eyes took mine in and I knew he got my silent message. He looked back at the couple after our quick silent exchange and his voice broke me out of my daze.

"How far apart are her contractions?" Edward took my hand and squeezed it in reassurance as we half ran to their side, well in my case hobbled over. The woman was now sitting on the floor leaning against the shelves as her face twisted with another contraction. The man who I could only guess was her husband looked up at us from his crouched position near her as he held her hand in comfort. "They are close to being only seconds apart. Her water broke a few hours ago but the hospital told her to go home because she was only about 2 cm dilated and her contractions weren't close enough at the time and to come back when they got closer together."

Edward nodded in response and I could see his mind racing with thoughts. "Are you a Doctor or are you just here for the show?" the woman asked between breaths with a playful smirk. "Because if you are here for the show I expect payment for admission" she joked.

"My father's the doctor, but I am a physical therapist." Edward answered just has one of the store managers ran over to inform us that they called the hospital and that they were on their way.

"They won't get here in time. I've had three kids before this and I know my body by now and it's not waiting any longer because the baby is coming noowwww." She hissed out the last words and her body constricted again.

"Edward, can't you do something?" I asked frantically as I grabbed a towel from someone'snearby cart and folding it up to place behind the woman's head. While her husband was dabbing her now sweaty forehead with his handkerchief.

"I...I can try. My late mother was a mid-wife and I watched a few childbirths and studied a little about it in pre- med school." He stuttered out and I could see in his eyes that his mind had worked up a game plan. "Madame..."

"Annemarie." She cut in attempting a smile.

"Annemarie," Edward smiled back at her and then turned his gaze to her husband. "Do you mind if I take a look to see if the baby's crowned?"

"OHHthis boys ready to pop out alright." Annemarie panted out clearly not able to stop her body from its natural instinct to push. "If it is alright withher then it is fine with me because clearly this baby is coming out now." The husband said looking at his watch.

I reflectively looked at my own watch wondering where the ambulance could possibly be, it should have been here by now. "Bella, I need you to go to the deli and get me some rubber gloves from them please."

"I'll get it" said another voice making me jump and when I looked up I noticed that some of the other shoppers had now gathered around and it was one of the workers who spoke. Before I or Edward could respond the girl worker was already around the corner.

"Umm...okay then towels, lots of towels we need to make her more comfortable." He ordered no-one in particular now as his eyes scanned the crowd and quickly someone else raced off in another direction. I was stroking back Annemarie's hair from her face withmy good hand hoping to soothe her some when the girl returned with the gloves and a bag of frozen baby peas.

"Thank you and the frozen peas was a good idea she looks like she is burning up." Edward gave the now giddy girl a thankful smile as he pulled the gloves on his hands and motioned with his head for the girl to give the frozen bag to the husband. I couldn't help but be in awe of the love they clearly still had for each other as he spoke loving words to her the whole time. He gently placed the bag on her forehead earning a contented sigh from her.

"That feels like heaven. I bet my face looks like a tomato right now." She half laughed between clenched teeth. Edward shot me a smirk that clearly said 'I wonder who that reminds me of ' to which I responded the only way I could think of at the moment, childishly sticking my tongue out at him. He chuckled at me before talking to Annemarie and setting to work to see where the baby was at.

"The baby's head is indeed crowning." He said taking some towels from the stack that the lady had placed next to him and laying them out on the floor in the middle of the aisle. I felt useless just sitting here with my bum leg and my messed up hand so I did the only thing I could think of that I could do. I acted as her cheering squad.

We very carefully moved her to the towels and made her as comfortable as possible while her husband propped her up from behind with his own body acting as a human pillow. I watched has Edward guided the new life into the world with his eyebrows pulled together in deep concentration while handling the situation like he was a professional in this field. The very sight alone made my heart fall even deeper in love with this man in front of me and with every fleeting smile he sent my way when he caught my eye, I couldn't help but picture that this would be us one day. Well hopefully not giving birth in the middle of a supermarket, but with my luck, I wouldn't be surprised.

My little fantasies of what my life would be like with Edward were soon broken by the sweetest sound I have ever heard, the sound of a newborns first cry. Edward smiled brightly up at me and I couldn't help but smile back as tears of joy filled my eyes at watching such a miracle take place. Just as Edward was starting to clean the baby off the paramedics came rushing down the aisle with a stretcher and their medical bags in hand.

When they got closer to us they were all gasping for air has they took in the sight of the newborn baby boy in front of them. "Well it looks like the hard part of the job has already been done." One of the younger looking paramedics joked with a light laugh has he knelt down to talk to Annemarie and introduced himself.

I didn't catch his name as my head swam slightly when the smell of blood finally hit my nostrils. The other paramedics began to swarm around us tending to the baby but their movements were hazy. I felt my hands get clammy and I took a deep breath through my mouth and released it slowly but it was to late. The world had already fallen away.
