Jill hustled back into Jackie's room and found her daughter in law bent over the side of the bed in sheer agony.
"Where's Nick?" She asked.
"He's coming, you just focus on what you have to do."
"I can't do this, why didn't I take a Lamaze refresher course, that was so stupid."
"Breathe, just take it one contraction at a time, you can do this, just squeeze my hand and if there is anything you need me to do just tell me."
Jackie tried to relax and breathe, she'd give anything to have Nick with her right now.
Just twenty minutes later Jackie felt the urge to push and so Dr. Wilson had her get back into the bed so she could check her again.
"Jackie you're ten centimeters, with the next contraction you are going to start pushing."
"No, I can't push until Nick gets here."
"I know you want him here Jackie but unfortunately it's not up to you, it's up to Nora and she seems to be in a bit of a hurry I'm so sorry."
