Madison was at the club cleaning up after a big party the night before. Everyone was either too smashed or too tired to clean up last night so Madison volunteered for clean-up early the next morning. It would keep her mind off things like time and money. In a matter of a month or so her baby would be introduced to the world and that scared her to death. Her stomach had stretch to an enormous size that she knew she would have a lot of work to do to get back to her former figure.
Cups and napkins, even some food, were scattered everywhere around TRIC. Madison almost missed the party life. It was like she was removed from the Earth and just watched as the rest of the world had fun. Just thinking of a normal life made her sick. Her life would never be normal. She was barely 20 and she was going to be knee deep in diapers and baby talk. That definitely wasn't her idea of a fun time.
The thoughts of her baby sent a kick to her stomach. Maybe it would be a soccer player. The kicking intensified and Madison sat down on a bar stool.
"Madison, are you okay?" Karen said coming from the back room where she was taking inventory.
"Yeah," Madison eased her way to a standing position just in time to feel wet drip down her leg, "No!"
"What's wrong?" Karen put down her clip board and rushed to Madison's side. Seeing the pool of water by Madison's feet Karen knew exactly what was going on, "Oh god."
"Don't say that!" Madison double over as a contraction hit her, "Oh shit!"
"Alright let's get you to the hospital." Karen held onto Madison and tried to support the pregnant woman's weight, "Take your time."
"Take my time!" Madison yelled, enraged, "This hurts like hell!"
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Lucas ran into the club when he heard Madison scream.
"Oh Luke thank god!" Karen said wiping her forehead, "It's time. Can you get her to the car?"
"Yeah sure." Lucas said easily scooping Madison into his arms.
"Just keep breathing baby." Karen said following behind them with the coats, "I'll meet you guys there. I'm going to pick up Deb at the Café."
"Alright we'll be fine." Lucas wasn't really sure what to do. He'd never seen a baby be delivered before. There's a first time for everything.
He placed her carefully in the front seat of his car being cautious of not hitting her head. He was panicking but trying not to show it.
"Are you comfortable?" He asked climbing behind the wheel, "Do you want to listen to music?"
"Lucas," Madison shot him a bitter look, "Just drive!"
"Right here we go." Lucas said putting the petal to the medal.
"I need some help!" Lucas barged through the doors of the ER with Madison in his arms, "She's in labor."
A nurse rushed out with a wheel chair where she ushered the couple into a room. She helped Madison into a hospital gown and Lucas waited outside in the hall looking out for Deb and his mom.
"You can go back in dad." The nurse informed him as she left the room filling out the chart.
"Oh no she's just a friend." He reassured the nurse. He'd has his share of pregnancy scares and he wasn't in the mood for a real baby now.
"Well then you can go in anyway." She eyed him as she returned to her seat at the nurse's station.
"Thanks." Lucas didn't like her staring so he found himself at Madison's bedside. She let out a piercing scream every contraction. Finally Deb arrived and Lucas was off duty.
"Madison," Dan knocked on Madison's bedroom door. When he received no answer he checked to make sure no one was watching before he snuck into her room. He went straight for the bed and checked under the mattress for the letter she had been writing. Striking out there he moved to the desk where he found it in the top drawer addressed and everything. People made it so easy for him to make their lives miserable. He needed Madison out of the house so he could take care of Deb once and for all.
"Ephram Brown, huh?" Dan read the name it was addressed to, "Well Ephram you're in for a rude awakening."
Dan left to room with his devious grin spread across his face. This was all too easy for him.
