Hey guys! I wrote this on the car ride home from Philly yesterday. Anywho, lets get to Chapter 4! -J.A.
Christine woke up at 8:30. She had slept for 4 hours and she was hungry. She got out of bed and journeyed downstairs to find her dinner. Her father was watching a
Hockey game and her mother was working on her latest novel. This was the typical routine in the Booth household. She smiled and warmed up her pasta. Brennan noticed that Christine had awoken and she joined her at the kitchen table.
"So honey, are you okay?" Brennan asked. Christine finished chewing and spoke.
"Yeah. The hormones over powered me but I'm okay now."
"Good! I had enough of that with your mother I don't want it again!" Booth yelled from the living room. Christine looked at her mother and saw this really annoyed look on her face. Brennan spoke.
"Pregnancy hormones were my excuse, what was yours for your constant bitching?" Oh yeah, that shut him up fast. Christine tried to stifle a laugh but failed miserably. Brennan continued her conversation.
"Well don't worry baby, he will be home on 2 days."
"I know. I just hope I don't go into labor between now and then." Booth was fast with a reply.
"Oh! What happened to 'I won't give birth for 2 weeks'?"
"I still think that but, the Braxton-Hicks contractions are becoming more intense. They are still one every few days but they have become more painful. I had one today and I thought I was in labor."
"Trust me honey, you'll know when you're in labor." Brennan said as she took Christine's plate and put it in the sink.
"I will?" She asked?
"Absolutely." Brennan said. Booth and Brennan said their goodnights to Christine and went up to bed. Christine decided to call Michael before going to bed her self.
The phone rang for a bit then a tired voice answered. "Hello?"
"Hi baby." She said with a smile on her face. She was always so happy when she spoke to him.
"Hi Honey! I miss you." He said.
"I miss you too. I want you home!" She said.
"Don't worry baby, I'll be home soon."
"I don't want to sound selfish but I want you to come home soon." She said with a bit of guilt in her voice.
"Is everything okay?" He asked with worry evident on his voice.
"Yeah, everything is alright I just have a bad feeling about everything… you know what, forget about it. I'll talk to you in the morning. I love you."
"I love you too baby, are you sure."
"Yeah. I'm sure. Night baby." Then she hung up. She sat at the table for a little bit then she went to bed.
Michael's point ofview.
That was weird. She never went on a gut feeling. She learned that from her mother. He decided to call up Booth and Brennan tomorrow morning. He went to bed with Christine on his mind. Like he did every night that he was away.
Christine's point of view.
Christine laid in bed, unable to find sleep for hours. She finally found sleep at 1:30 in the morning. She had a dreamless sleep until 4:47 am when she was awoken by a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She thought nothing of it. This wasn't the first time she was awoken by false labor. She settled back down and fell asleep. She was woken up again by another pain 10 minutes later. This worried her again. She got up and walked around for a bit to calm her down. She walked around for a good 8 minutes when she felt a pop and warm liquid run down her leg. That was paired with a surge of pain. She cried out and clutched her stomach. She heard running feet and a door burst open. She was met by her worried parents. She looked up at them and whispered.
"My water just broke."
Oh No! Welp, here is Chapter 4. I know it is short but the next few chapters are going to be longer. I'll post more tomorrow. See ya on the flip side guys! -J.A.
