A Whole New World

Chapter 8

A/N: Eight days later.

Simon was asleep on Cecilia's couch again, with Cecilia lying on him. His hands were on her hands, which were placed on her enormous stomach. He had been sleeping there every night for the past week, ever since Lucy went into labor. He wanted to be there every minute for Cecilia. All of a sudden Cecilia's hand squeezed his. He immediately woke up. "Cecilia, are you OK?" he asked softly. "Not really," she said. Simon could tell from her voice that she was in pain. "You're not?" he asked. "No. Help me get up," she told him. "No way! You're staying right here!" he said as he slid out from under her. "What does it feel like?" "It's just a ton of pressure, and my back hurts. I don't think I'm in labor though because I've been feeling pressure all night. I think that's normal because I'm getting so close," she said. "Are you sure? I can call Matt," Simon suggested. "Yeah, go ahead and call Matt. Ooooooh!" she moaned and squeezed Simon's hand really hard. "OK- I'll call him," he hurried to the phone.

"Matt, it's Simon," Simon said into the phone. "Simon? It's three in the morning! Why are you calling me now?" Matt said sleepily. "I think Cecilia's in labor, even though she doesn't think so. She says she's been feeling pressure all night and her back hurts," Simon explained. Cecilia could be heard yelling in the background. "Yeah, I hear her yelling. I think she's in labor. But if she's been feeling pressure all night, she could have been in labor all this time. It might be too late to go to the hospital. I'll be right over," Matt said as he hung up. "Sarah, honey, I'm going to Cecilia's. I think she's in labor," Matt told Sarah as he got dressed quickly.

When Matt got to Cecilia's, she was screaming. Her mom and dad were downstairs with Simon trying to comfort her. "Thank God," she panted when she saw Matt. "When did you start feeling pressure?" Matt asked. "About seven, aaaah, last night," Cecilia said quickly. "Simon, could you take her up to her mom and dad's bed?" Matt asked. "Yeah," Simon said and he carried her upstairs. Matt followed, and so did Cecilia's mom and dad. "OK- I don't think I'm in labor," Cecilia said. "What?" Simon asked, surprised. "I know I am," she said, completely sure of herself.

REVIEW!

A/N: OK I know that was biggest cliffhanger of all time. Sorry. I won't be able to update until Tuesday- I'm going on vacation before school starts on Wednesday. Sorry!
