Chapter 7 The Third Labor
Stephanie was just two days away from her due date now. Baby Jack was 15 weeks old, a week away from being four months old. Baby Hannah was exactly two months old. Stephanie's back was killing her and she couldn't wait to have her baby, especially since Michelle and DJ had both delivered and couldn't sympathize with her back pain anymore. DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle had been going back and forth to each other's houses once a week to have a play date with the kids and talk about how they were growing up and how Steph was feeling. Steph told her sisters about the homebirth she and Anthony were planning. They had only invited DJ and Michelle to the birth. They were going to see the baby being born and keep an eye on Allison. This week the three girls were at Steph's house.
"Steph do you mind taking Hannah while I run to the bathroom," DJ asked while they were sitting in the kitchen.
"Sure," Steph said, standing up to take the baby. Just then she felt a gush.
"Uh, guys, my water just broke," Steph exclaimed.
"Omigosh!" DJ and Michelle exclaimed. Stephanie called the midwife and told her the contractions were starting to come five minutes apart and that her water had broken. The midwife said she was on her way over. Michelle and DJ put the babies down for a nap while Stephanie called Anthony at work.
"Hey Honey," Anthony said when he answered his phone.
"Hi sweetie, do you think you could take the rest of the day off?"
"I'm not sure, why,"
"Because my water just broke. We're having a baby tonight!"
"Really! I'll be home as soon as I can!" Anthony replied excitedly before they said goodbye and hung up. Together the three girls began to set up Stephanie's birthing pool.
