Chap 8
Later that night
Dave crept into the now dark house and looked around. "Krystal?" Dave whispered,still looking around. He looked in to the living room and saw the tv going but no Krystal. Where did she get off to? Dave thought,looking around still. Krystal walked out of the kitchen,holding a gallon of ice cream. Dave chuckled softly and followed her into the living room. She finally realized that Dave was in the room with her. "Dave! When did you get here?" she asked,looking at him questioningly. Dave smiled and said, "Just a few minutes ago." Krystal nodded and looked at him. Dave sat next to her on the couch and held her close. "So,anything new happen while I was gone?" he asked,laying his head on hers. Krystal looked up at him and said,"The baby kicked twice,I've got really bad cramps in my sides and back." Dave looked down at her,slightly confused. "You said you had cramps?" Dave asked,looking worried. "Yep...But it's nothing..I'm alright..Remember I had cramps with Jasmyne too?" Dave nodded and smiled, "Hopefully they won't be as bad." Krystal nodded and laid her head on Dave's shoulder,forgetting about the gallon of ice cream she brought out of the kitchen. "The baby kicked twice and I missed it?" Dave said,disappointed. Krystal nodded sleepily. Dave looked down at her and smiled. "Dave?" "Yes Krystal?" "I love you." "I love you too baby." Dave said,holder her closer than ever and smilng. Krystal burried her face in his chest and went to sleep. "Krystal...Krystal baby wake up." Dave whispered,moving her hair out of her eyes and smiling at her. Krystal mumbled, "Five more minutes please." "Baby,wouldn't you rather sleep in the bed then on the couch?" Dave whispered,still trying to wake her. Finally,Krystal woke up and looked at Dave. He smiled at her and led her upstairs. She followed without any protest. Once they were upstairs,Dave gently led Krystal to the bed. Krystal sat down on the bed and looked at Dave,who hadn't sat down right away. "Baby?" "Yeah?" "We do have baby names right?"she asked,still looking up at Dave. He nodded and sat next to her. "Remember? Ryan Landin,if it's a boy and Jessica Michelle,if it's a girl." Dave said,looking at her,smiling. Krystal nodded and laid back on her pillow. Dave smiled and followed her example and both of them fell asleep,fully dressed.
The Next Morning
Dave awoke to the sound of door slamming shut. "Krystal?" Dave said,looking around,somewhat confused. Dave walked over to the door and leaned against it. "Krystal baby? What's wrong?" The only response he got was Krystal crying. Dave opened the door and saw her leaning agaisnt the wall,crying. He ran over to her and kneeled behind her,sitting her up to lean against him. "Baby..." Dave whispred,holding her and wishing he could do more than hold her. He held her hand and told her,if she needed to, to squeeze his hand to help the pain. She held Dave's hand tightly and cried as the contractions began. Dave winced and bit his lip. "It's okay Krystal.I'm right here baby." Dave said,using his other hand to move the pieces of hair out Krystal's face. Krystal cried and screamed. Dave picked her up and took her to the bed,laid her on it,and grabbed the phone. Dave dialed Randy's number and told him he'd have to keep Jas alittle longer than planned. When Randy asked why,Dave's response was drowned out completely by Krystal's wailing cry. Randy said it was okay and he also told Dave to call him if anything went wrong. Dave said he would and then hung up and threw the phone in the chair across the room. Dave sat next to Krystal and the blankets were wet. Dave looked at Krystal,eyes wide. What do I do now...Her water broke and it's too late me to get her out of here. Dave thought,reaching for the phone. Where the hell is the phone? Dave thought,about to get up. As he went to get up,Krystal grabbed his hand and squeezed his hand tightly. The more she felt the pain,the more she squeezed him hand. "Dave," she managed to gasped "I think the baby's coming now..." Dave looked at her,eyes widening. "I WANT THIS BABY OUT OF ME NOW!" Krystal yelled,squeezing Dave's hand as hard as she could.
