3 and a Half Months Later
For the past 3 and a half months I've been living in Seattle, Washington and working at Border's bookstore. I'm getting closer and closer to my due date, so my mother has decided to stay with me for a bit.
"Roxie," said my manager Drake "It's time for your break.'
"All right" I said, shelving the book I had in my hand.
I made me way back to the employee lounge and began to get stomach pains. I sat down, hoping the pain would go away. When it didn't I stood up and let out a scream,my water had just broken!
Drake came running in and asked "Roxie what's wrong?"
"My water broke!"
His eyes widened. He sat me down and said "I'll call an ambulance and your mother. Start doing your breathing."
I began to do my breathing as he made the calls. When he was done he came over to me and held my hand. "Is there anyone else I should call?"
"No."
"Roxie, how early are you?"
"A week."
He gripped my hand tighter and said "You'll be okay Roxie."
Just then my mom came in. "Oh Roxie!" she cried, coming over to em and grabbing my other hand "I called Phil and Maria, they're on their way. Maria wants to call Ted-"
"No!" I cried "Don't call Ted."
"I told her not to."
"Okay."
Just then Drake came running in, 2 EMTs and a stretcher behind him. The EMTs loaded me onto the stretcher, my mother standing beside me. They went out the back entrance of the store and loaded me into the ambulance.
"Mommy!" I cried "Don't leave me!"
"I won't," she told me "I'll be here with you through everything."
"Okay."
The EMTs closed the ambulance doors and got back into the ambulance, beginning our ride to the hospital.
THE BABY'S ON ITS WAY!
