Chapter Eight - Almost There
"Abby, get up"
"Go away"
"You have to get up now"
"I said, go away"
"Then you leave me with no choice"
"No, not the duvet, anything but the duvet!"
"I'm sorry, but you know what happens when you refuse to get out of bed"
With that, Carter pulled the duvet off Abby who was refusing to get out of bed for the second time that week.
"You're so mean"
"Why?"
"You try hauling four babies around for 8 months and see how you get on"
"I know its hard, and you've done so well, but we promised we'd go to Susan's party"
"Ok, I'm ready"
"You're still in your Pj's!"
"Yeah, Susan told me I could just come and lounge on her bed for the party"
"You don't mind everyone seeing you in your PJ's?"
"Well its nothing compared to my last day at work when I slipped on the ice and flashed my underwear!"
"True. Well if you insist, lets go"
Abby was eight months pregnant now and was due to have a caesarean in two weeks time. Carter and Abby had decided, after consulting with doctors that a caesarean was the safest option. They had spent the last fortnight getting the large nursery for their arrivals.
They arrived at the party a while later, and as Carter said hello to his work friends, Abby headed straight for Susan's bed.
"Is Abby ok?" Susan asked Carter a little later.
"Yeah, she's exhausted. Why?"
"She looked a little pale earlier"
"Yeah, she has done for a while, OB said it was perfectly normal, just a lack of iron. They put her on supplements"
"Poor Abby, I bet she'll be glad when its over"
"Yeah, I think she's nervous, well we both are. We won't be happy until those four little girls are safe in our arms"
"I'm going to go say hello"
"I think she's asleep Susan" Carter smiled, looking at a tipsy Susan making her way to the bedroom.
"Its ok! I'll be quiet…..Oh God, Abby are you ok?"
Carter rushed to Susan's side.
Abby was kneeling on the floor.
"I think my waters broke!"
