"How are we doing today?" Dr. Grenne says as she walks into the room.
"We're ready for this little man to come out." Ana says as she's lying back on the exam room table and rubbing her belly while Christian holds her hand.
"Let's take a look at him shall we. How are mommy and daddy doing?" She says as she preps the ultrasound machine.
"He has been waiting on me hand and foot. Not letting me lift a finger."
"I'm making sure she stays on bed-rest until this baby comes."
"Good. Now everything looks good here. The baby is completely turned and it's ten percent efaced."
"Really? What does that mean?" Christian asks.
"It means the cervix is getting ready for the birth."
"So she's gonna go into labor soon."
"Typically with first time pregnancies babies can take their time and come late but their are instances where they can arrive earlier."
"So what should we do?" Ana asks.
"All you can do is wait it out. The baby is the one who decides. If the baby doesn't come by the end of the week, I suggest you try methods to induce. Castor oil, yoga, sex, spicy foods."
"Okay. We'll definetley do that."
"Alright. I'll let you get dressed." says as she walks out of the room.
"I'm gonna start working from the home office."
"Christian, you have meetings, and confernece calls, and a business trip coming up."
"Ana, you and the baby come first. I want to be there when you the baby comes."
"You're already here."
"I don't want to be in another country when you're in the hospital. Let me be the dotting husband and expectant father."
"Okay. But if we need to induce, can we let sex be the last option? Teddy is making me feel like a whale."
"Okay. Even though you're beautiful pregnant, we'll take it easy."
"Thank you." She lays her head on his shoulder and he kisses her forehead.

One week and five days later
Christian is talking to Ross via Skype finalizing the schedule they set up while he stays at home with Ana and the baby.
"So you and Kiasser have the presentation for the Tinakia brunch?"
"We both have copies of the outline and slide show."
"And you have the conference reservation set up-"
"The hotel reservation for the conference in Boston is confirmed for next month. Everything is taken care of. Just focus on Ana and the baby."
"Sorry, I'm just nervous and have been up non-stop waiting on the baby."
"You guys will be fine. Now go before she drags you out of your office."
Just as she says that, Ana opens the sliding door of the office. She's in her blue sweatpants and white tank top that was sterched by her belly.
"Too late. I'll talk to you on Monday." Christian ends the video chat and shuts down his computer. "Now what are you doing out of bed?"
"I need you to fuck me." She says walking to the front of the desk.
"Now?"
"I've drunk castor oil, eaten every kind of hot pepper, and bounced on that yoga ball all day yesterday. Just shoot it in there and I'll go into labor in a couple of hours please."
"Okay. Let me just shower and I'll be in there in a few minutes."
"Christian, I'm not in the mood for vanilla right now. Just get yourself hard and take me from the side." She says pulling him up by his hand. Christian follows his wife to their bedroom in amusement. Her activeness and inititave to get the baby out has her determined. He didn't mind being used by his wife and being the submissive to her.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Five Hours Later ( 12:17 AM)
"Christian wake up." She says as she shakes her husband awake.
"Ana. Just give me ten more minutes. My dick is still cooling off." He says as he sits up in bed with an ice compress on his crotch.
"No. We need to go."
"Go where?"
"The hospital, my water broke."
"WHAT? Are you sure?" He says jolting out of bed.
"Yes. Now Taylor is waiting for us downstairs and my bag is already packed. Just put some clothes on and we can go to the hospital."
"When did your water break?"
"A half hour ago. I was timing them to make sure it wasn't a false alarm again."
"You should've woke me up."
"I didn't want you to panic. We're fine. The baby is taking his time and we'll make it to the hospital." She holds his face in her hands and he smiles knowing that in just mere hours they were going to become a family of three soon. "Why are you smiling so big?"
"We're about to have a baby."
"Let's go meet Baby Grey shall we." Ana says to him as he pulls her in for a kiss.
