It was now a couple of weeks into the college semester. Brittany had only gone home early once, which was quite the feat, considering she was close to eight months pregnant. Her classes ended an hour before Mike's did on Tuesdays, and as arranged, Brittany would wait for Mike in the courtyard so he could drive them home. Brittany put her iPod on, and got lost in the music, bopping along as she sat there. She didn't even notice Mike come over after his class and sit beside her until he kissed her cheek. Brittany pulled out her headphones and turned to face Mike, "Hey!" she grinned. "Feeling alright?" Mike asked, as he always did. "Besides a few cramps, pretty alright actually," Brittany replied as she stood up, "Might lay down for a bit when we get home, back's a little achy too." "But other than that?..." "I'm fine," Brittany cut Mike off. "Well, when we get home, you lay down, and I will bring you a drink and something to eat," Mike said as they got in the car and headed home.
"Just the usual?" Mike asked as they walked inside. "Yes please, that would be lovely," Brittany said, following Mike into the kitchen. "Come on, deal was you have to lay down and I will get the food," Mike said, taking hold of Brittany's hands and walking her into the bedroom, "Now, you lay down, and rest your back." Brittany sat back on the bed, "Sorry!" she giggled. Mike chuckled and shook his head as he walked back to the kitchen. As Mike was fixing the food, he glanced at the calendar on the fridge, "We've got an appointment at the hospital on Friday bumblebee," he called out. "Oh yeah, we do too," Brittany replied. "Juice or a hot drink my lovely baby mumma?" "Juice please baby daddy!"
While Mike was fixing food for them both, Brittany flicked through a magazine she'd bought at the campus bookstore. Because she wasn't going anywhere until the next day, Brittany decided to get changed into her pyjamas before Mike came in with the food. As Brittany got up, she felt another ache in her lower back, and also what felt like some bad cramps. She'd been having them all through her pregnancy, so she didn't think too much of it. Once she was changed, Brittany laid back down, and waited for Mike to come back in.
Mike walked back into the bedroom, juice and sandwiches for five in hand, "Here we are," he said as he sat by Brittany on the bed. Brittany smiled as she took a glass of apple juice from Mike, putting it by the bed, and picked up a sandwich. "Better?" Brittany nodded, "Mmhmm! Thank you!" Mike put an arm around Brittany, "Ahh good good," he said, "Wanna watch a movie?" "Sounds per... Ooh! Ow!" Brittany said, sitting up a little. "Cramp?" you okay bumblebee?" Brittany nodded, "Yeah, had one before," she said, leaning back against the pillows.
After watching the movie that was on the TV, Mike and Brittany went into the kitchen/dining area to work on some of their college work. Brittany sat at the bench, side on, because she didn't quite fit at the table anymore. Mike went out to the car to get their books. Brittany was sipping on her juice some more, when she got another cramp. But something felt different. Brittany put her juice down, but then felt somewhat normal like again. She stood up and fixed her top and pants up. "What the?" she mumbled to herself. The back of her pants were wet. They weren't wet when they had left the bedroom, and Brittany hadn't spilt any of her juice. "Oh gosh!" Brittany gasped, staring at the wet seat she had been sitting in, realising what was going on. "What's up bumblebee?" Mike chuckled, "See a bug?" Brittany had quite the intense dislike for bugs. "Umm... No. That's not it..." Brittany said, shaking her head. "Then what's up bumblebee?" Mike asked, putting their books on the bench. Brittany bit her lip, and looked up at Mike, "My water just broke."
