Oliver paced and paced and paced waiting for word of how things were going. The only one with him was Annie. She was no help either because she was just as impatient, if not more, than Oliver. Slowly seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours as they waited. Just when he thought he was going to go crazy a nurse, covered head to toe in white, appeared from the back.
"Oliver Warbucks?"
He quickly turned on his heel, "Yes!"
"Congratulations sir, it's a girl."
Grace immediately awoke from that dream, not from an alarm clock, but from a severe kick to her ribs. She slowly looked down to find a belly so swollen it looked like she'd stuffed a pillow under her shirt. To her left she felt another person roll over. She looked and found her husband staring at her.
"Good morning, beautiful." He said kissing her lightly.
"Morning." She pulled away and started rubbing her stomach. "Hopefully one of these days I won't get a kick start to my day."
He chuckled and put his around her, "Then we'll have to start setting the alarm clock again."
She smiled and just laid there for a few minutes, loving the easy feeling between the two. "Oliver, are you happy?"
"Of course!" He looked at her as if she'd gone crazy.
"No, I mean in this life. Here with Annie and me." She asked rubbing her stomach again."
"Without a doubt. I couldn't be happier. Why? Aren't you?" He asked her seriously.
"I'm ridiculously happy. I never would've thought that my life could be like this." She said kissing him again.
Grace suddenly felt a pain, much harder than just a normal kick. After a few minutes another one hit. By this time Oliver had gotten out of bed. Another few minutes brought more, this time making Grace cry out. Immediately Oliver turned around, "Grace, are you all right."
"Oliver, I think it's time!"
The End.
