"Shane!" I yelled. "Get your ass in here now!"
Shane poked his head into Carrie's room and raised his eyebrows. "Yes?"
"When are you and Micheal going to Dallas to exchange the car for a van?" I asked.
Shane frowned. "Uhh, actually we're not going now."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Why not?"
"Uh. Actually there's something I need to show you."
I stopped packing the hospital diaper bag. "Just tell me, I'm busy right now."
"Uh, okay. With Michael's help, and money that I've been saving up, we got a car. For me and you. So that we all don't have to share one."
"Oh," I said. "Oh, okay. Well, tell Michael I said thank you. and can you go put Carrie's car seat and base in the new car?"
"Yeah." Shane said and picked the car seat up from where I had set it by the door. He turned to leave but I stopped him.
"Shane?"
"Yes?"
"When did you get the car?"
"This morning, while you were asleep."
"Oh, okay. Make sure to take our bags down too."
"Alright." he said and left.
I finished pack Carrie's diaper bag and started grabbing blankets, diapers, clothes, and other things to put in the pockets on the side of the bassinet. I gathered everything in my arm and headed to my room. I set everything on the bed and sorted stuff out. The bassinet was on my side of the bed, by the window. I put the blankets inside the bassinet, and the clothes on the little basket on the bottom, and the diapers in the beside table. I straightened the bottles and pacifiers on the bedside table. Satisfied with everything, I laid down on the bed and stroked my stomach.
A sharp pain shot through my lower stomach and I had to bite back a moan. I rolled over and clutched my lower stomach. The pain came and went every few minutes or so, all while my mind raced to figure out what was wrong. Then it hit me and I cursed out loud.
Contractions.
"Dammit," I cursed and struggled to sit up in bed. Even though I wasn't big, I was bigger than I was nine months ago. I got up and quickly walked into the hall, yelling. "Eve! Eve come here right now! I need you!"
I struggled through the pain to walk to the top of the steps. When I got there I saw Eve halfway up the stairs, she stopped when she saw me.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"I think-" but I broke off when a dizzy spell hit me. i grabbed the wall for support. I felt a gush and gasped.
I looked up at Eve and her eyes were as wide as saucers.
"Claire," she asked slowly. "What's wrong?"
"My water just broke."
