Chapter 55.-Labor Pains-

A few weeks later: Sally was spending the day at Flo's, she was to gravid to do anything else. Sylvester, Hunter and Charlie had come for a visit. Sally noticed that hunter's sides were bulging out a little. "Hunter, can I ask you a question?" Sally asked "Are you pregnant?" "Yes" Hunter said "With twins!" Sally looked at her brother. "Yep it's true" Sly said. "It's the one thing I've done before you. Mom and Dad are happy that they are going to have a lot of grandchildren to baby sit." "How far a long are you?" Sally asked "Only about three months" Hunter said. "I'm due right before collage starts up for the fall semester. I'm going to take a leave for the semester, because I'm going to have my tires full with twins." "Charlie is going to be two and half years old and will be spending part of his day at a daycare." Sly said "We have explained to him that he is getting brothers or sisters. He seems to be excided with that thought pf getting a little brother or sister to play with." "Daddy, can I plan in the sand?" Charlie asked "Yes, just stay where I can see you" Sly said. Charlie loved that there was sand everywhere that he could play in. He backed up a little and took a flying leap into what he was a soft pile of sand. But the pile of sand was not soft; it was almost hard as the pavement. Charlie hit bumper first. He out a squeal of pain and then started crying. Hunter went over to him, and saw that he had split his bumper wade open and he was bleeding. "Sly do you have your medical kit with you?" Hunter asked "Charlie has split his bumper open." "Yes I do." Sly said as rolled over to where Hunter and Charlie was. "Oh, Charlie…Charlie….Charlie, what are we going to do with you?" Sly said as he pulled out some medical gauze and held it to the cut. "This is the third time this week you have hurt yourself." Charlie continued to cry in pain. Flo saw what happed and she brought out some ice in a soft towel. "Thanks Flo" Sly said. "Do you have some water so we can rinse the cut out?" "Absolutely" Flo she said. She went to café and brought out a bottle of water and rinsed his bumper off. "He's going to have a fat bumper." Flo said as she could see his bumper beginning to swell. "Well, it will go nicely with the scratches on his side." Hunter said. Flo saw a few minor scrapes on Charlie's side. "He hurt himself at the playground the other day." Sly put Charlie into his carrier and put the ice to his bumper. At first Charlie pulled away, but once he figured out that the 'cold stuff' made the pain go away, he kept his bumper on it. "Momma can I have a drink?" Charlie asked. Hunter gave him the bottle of water, but with a swollen bumper made it almost impossible for him to get a drink. Flo handed Hunter a straw. "Here try this" Flo said. Hunter put the straw in the bottle. Charlie was so thistly that he drank was left in the bottle.

Now that Charlie's crisis was over, Sally asked "Is childbirth really as painful as they say it is?" Not sure if she really wanted to know. "Honey, I'm not gonna lie to you, it hurts. But once you got your little baby, you forget all about the pain. I'll put it this way; try pulling your lips over your hood." Flo told her. All of the ladies laughed and even Sally had to let a few snickers go. "Oh yeah, you're laughing now but, you won't be laughing when Zoë has you on a lift talking about 'push'. Having a baby hurts honey, but like I said in the end, it was all worth it." Even though Doc had been Sally's doctor since she came to town, he felt that Zoë could give Sally better prenatal care that he could. Zoë is an Obstetrician specializing in first time pregnancies, so it was decided that she would take over Sally's care while she was pregnant. "Flo, what do you want our baby to be." Sally asked her. "Sally, as long as the baby is healthy, I don't care. What does Lightning want?" Flo responded. "It depends on his mood when you ask him" Sally said. "Sometimes he wants a girl and the next time you ask him, he wants a boy." "Speaking of Lightning, where is the proud papa?" Flo asked "On the phone with his parents discussing 'family business'" Sally said. "I think it has something to do with Dogger." Lightning pulled up to the small group with a somber face. "I have just gotten off the phone with my father. As you all know Dogger is standing trial for drug dealing and battery charges. Dad just called me and Dogger has been convicted on all charges." Lightning said "The judge gave him all fifteen years that the district attorney was asking for." A few tears spilled from Lightning's eyes. "I'm really sorry Sweetheart. Dogger has had more than enough chances to strengthen his life out." Sally said as she caressed his fender. "Look at it this way. Prison might just be what Dogger needs to get his life back on track." "I can only hope" Lightning said.

Sally was now overdue by a week. Lightning had become hyper-aware of her every action and reaction. He felt helpless, it bothered him to see hurt in Sally's face. He knew she was almost constantly in pain these last few weeks. "Lightning hasn't touched me in weeks, and I'm not just talking just about sex, I just miss the genital cresses that we normally have during the day. Right now we don't even sleep together, he sleeps on the bed in the nursery" Sally said, "Oh, honey, Lightning loves you enough to make sure that you are comfortable, under the circumstances. It will all go back to normal when you have the baby." Flo said. "But Flo, every time the baby kicks or I have a cramp, he thinks I'm in labor and he wants to race me to the hospital, it's starting to dive me nuts." "Have you picked out a name yet?" Flo asked "No, we are going to wait and see what the baby looks like before we pick a name, but I have a few in mind."

Sally was brought out of her musing by a dull pain. "Sally are you ok?" Hunter asked, she had noticed the slight change in Sally. "Yes I'm fine, it's just a pain. Not painful, it is more like a cramp." Sally said. She wasn't sure what to make of it because she had already gone to the hospital twice, each time it turned out to be a false alarm. Flo told her false alarms were to be expected, most moms-to-be had them. But Sally was in no mood to lie around doing nothing for several hours before being told, "You can go home, it's a false alarm." Sally was now overdue, very common in first time pregnancies. Zoë had ordered Sally that if she didn't begin labor naturally by Monday morning. She would have to come in and be induced. Flo said that being induced was painful all by itself, she had it done to deliver her son. It a series of injections right into the cervix and birth canal. This particular 'cramp' however felt very different, even from the false cramps of the past. Sally felt another and it wasn't even as strong as the first. She decided to head to the ladies lounge to check herself, but as soon Sally moved, there was very strange noise. Something she likened to a gush of water coming out of her. Sally glanced at the floor under her tires, dismayed to find she was standing in a pool of what looked like water with some tinges of oil here and there. All Sally knew all it came out of an intimate area of her body and that's when the horror hit her, did she just uncontrollably pee on herself? She had never been pregnant before; Sally didn't know what was going on. Hunter and Flo on the other hand knew exactly what was up, they went to Sally who just was standing there, trembling. "What just happed to me?" Sally cried "Your water just broke; you gotta get to the hospital!" Hunter said as Sally looking her, somewhat assured in the knowledge that at least she didn't just wee on herself. Sally started to remark about the mess she made. "Sally!" Hunter said "We need to get you to the hospital, your going into labor." "Don't worry about this mess" Flo said. "I'll clean it up, get your rear fender to the hospital."

Hunter escorted Sally to the hospital. Sally cruised to the hospital, surprisingly, she was calm and collected. Hunter stayed with her, but she called Sly to tell him what was going on. Sally was admitted to the hospital and taken the maternity ward. "I'll call Lightning for you" Hunter said as Sally's insides fluttered as she felt the baby move. Sally could feel pressure building up in the lower region of her undercarriage. "Hunter, I hate to ask, but please stay with me during the delivery, please… You know that Mom and Dad are out of the county on a business trip. I'm scared, and I really need you with me." "OK, but Lightning needs to be here too." Hunter said. "Yes I know, he wants to be here. But I still need you… please" Sally said as she pleaded with her. Sally visibly was relived when Hunter agreed to stay with her. The hospital called Zoë and told her about Sally. She was on call for such an event, Zoë rolled into the room. "Well I read the admitting report, your water broke at the café?" she asked "Yes, that is what I've been told." Sally said nervously. "That's very good news, Sally. I was hoping that you'll go into labor on own." Zoë explained, "I need you to get on the lift so I can examine you and see how you are progressing." "I thought that Isabelle, the midwife, was going to do my delivery" Sally said. "No, I am" Zoë said "Two reasons, first Isabelle is already attending to two other women that are in labor. Second, you're a first time mother that is over due. You might have compilations."
