A/N: This chapter is kind of a shortie. (Only 2 chapters left, including this one!) hand3: Glad you liked the last chapter and thanks for reviewing. :) auggy1984: You've been so great! Special thanks to you for waiting for Madison to appear and reviewing anyway. Madison will make her appearance next chapter and as soon as I've got the last chapter of this story finished, I'll be posting the sequel, which will have a lot more Madison (especially in the first few chapters). Doves30: Thanks for reviewing and I hope this update was fast enough for ya. ;) Bchgrl04: Thanks for reading and I'm very happy to know that you think this is a great story! It means a lot! muse-of-the-fairies: I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for leaving a comment/review! kursk: Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. It's too bad I couldn't have posted it closer to Halloween, but it would have taken too long. Thanks for reviewing and I'm looking forward to the wedding as well. ;)

3.21 Near Hit And Broke

----November 5, 2004----

Amy leaned back in the passenger seat and placed her hands over her very large belly. "Are you sure you wanna drive? You look pretty tired."

"I'm fine, I swear." Ephram promised, as he started the car and pulled out onto the road. "Are you okay?" He asked his fiance, who was now just barely over 6 months pregnant.

"Yep. Just tired and sore." Amy replied, as her eyes fluttered open and closed. It had been a long week and she was very tired on this chilly Friday night.

Ephram stopped at a red light. "Are you scared?" He suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Amy mumbled.

"About the baby?" Ephram asked.

"Ephram, of course it scares me. Everything scares me! Especially giving birth. I'm so glad I don't have to do it for another few months or so." Amy replied.

Ephram drove through the intersection and down a quiet road.

"What about you?" Amy asked.

"I'm terrified." Ephram replied. "But I know that I love you and that I love our daughter and I won't let anything happen to either one of you." He glanced at Amy.

Amy sat up. "I love you too." Suddenly her eyes shifted and she gasped. "Ephram, look out!" She screamed, as she saw a car swerve into their lane and head right for them.

Ephram's eyes instantly went back to the road and he began to turn the wheel as far as he could to the other side, to avoid the car. His car made a screeching noise as the tires skid to the other lane of the road and in the blink of an eye, the swerving car passed them, barely. His heart was pounding like crazy as he slowed the car down and then pulled back into the right lane. He took a few deep breaths and then pulled to the side of the road. "Amy, are you okay?"

"I..I..." Amy stuttered. She looked down at the seat to find a puddle of clear liquid on the floor of the car and the seat. "I think my water just broke!"
