“
So,
are you trying to say that I’m in labor or something?”
she asked.
Dana
sighed. She had no idea what this was all about and she also didn’t
want to upset Julie.
“
I’m
no doctor but this is definitely not good,” she said. Julie
took a long deep breath as she felt another cramp coming on. “How
far apart are the contractions?” Dana asked.
Julie
looked at her, confused and scared at the same time.
“
Contractions?”
she asked in a loud voice.
“
Ahem…um…I
mean the cramping,” Dana said trying to calm her down.
Julie
looked at her and shrugged.
“
I
don’t know…every half hour maybe,” she said. Dana
reached for her phone and handed it to Julie.
“
Call
your doctor. Tell her we are on the way,” she said as they made
their way outside.
*****
Steven
looked around at the show house and smiled. It was the most beautiful
thing he had seen in a long time: a five bed four bath bachelor pad
with a poolside dining room. He had even asked for black marble
flooring to complement the eggshell walls. He could almost recall his
days back in London when he had an all-white bachelor pad. As he
looked around, he realized that what he had done was recreate his
bachelor pad. Actually, except for the one brick wall in the living
room, it was his place all over again. He was still looking around
when his client, sports agent Gary Follows walked in.
“
Steven
Davenport, long time,” Gary said with that boyish smile that
drove women wild. Steven walked towards him and shook his hand before
they shared a brief manly hug.
“
Nice
to see you, Gary. Hope you didn’t have any problem getting
here,” he said. Gary shook his head.
“
Not
at all. But I couldn’t help but notice the gentleman’s
club around the corner,” he said feigning seriousness.
“
Well,
that right there is a great selling point. Maybe part of the reason
why the price shot up a hundred grand,” he smiled.
Gary
looked at him and laughed.
“
You
always knew me so well. Show me round this White Castle,” he
said.
Steven
smiled as they started walking out of the living room area.
“
Well,
this is the living area, completely furnished with a seven seater
L-shaped sofa and a fifty inch LED TV. Right here is a four seat
dining table, 100% mahogany. The hardwood floors are original and the
carpeting in the living room is thanks to our good friends in
Turkey,” Steven started as they walked into the kitchen. “Right
here is the six burner stove that comes with an oven. There is also
the secondary oven on this side that also comes with a grill,”
Steven said before he paused to look at Gary. “Perfect for
those pizza parties and indoor barbecues you love so much.”
“
So
far so great, Davenport,” Gary said.
“
Really?
You haven’t seen the master bedroom yet,” Steven said as
they walked up the stairs. They had just walked into the master
bedroom when Steven’s phone rang. He reached for it and frowned
when he saw Dana’s number. “I’m sorry I have to get
this,” he said as he stepped into one of the rooms. “Hey
Dana…um…Julie? Why are you on Dana’s phone?”
he asked when he heard his wife’s voice on the phone.
“
Well,
I think I am having the baby,” Julie said. He could hear that
she was panting.
“
Wait…what?
Isn’t it too early…” Steven’s heart was
suddenly threatening to beat out of his chest.
“
Yeah
but….oh shit!” Julie never got a chance to finish her
sentence.
“
I’ll
be at the hospital in ten minutes,” Steven said before he hung
up. He walked back to the master bedroom and gave Gary an apologetic
look. “Hey, buddy. I’m really sorry but we’ll have
to continue this tour later.”
“
Everything
okay, man? Because you look like you just saw a ghost,” Gary
said.
“
I
think my son or daughter just doesn’t want to wait out the
extra month,” he said before he practically ran out of the
room.
*****
Julie
was in a panic. As soon as she and Dana got to the hospital, Dr.
Solloway got her into a private exam room. Dana was holding Julie’s
hand as Dr. Solloway did her tests.
“
Well?”
Julie asked.
“
Alright,
your blood pressure is a little high but not alarming. I think you
are just excited,” Dr. Solloway said.
Julie
rolled her eyes.
“
I
don’t care about my blood pressure. I just want to know if I am
having this baby today or not. And is the baby okay? I read that it’s
a bad sign if they get restless before the due date and the pain…”
Julie’s voice trailed off. The doctor smiled at her as she
reached for the Doppler. She handed Julie the Doppler as she slowly
ran the other end of the Doppler on her tummy.
“
See
that? That’s the baby’s heart rate and it looks pretty
normal to me,” Dr. Solloway said. “And you are already in
active labor. This baby is coming today,” she added with a
smile.
Julie
shook her head.
“
Wait…there
must be some mistake…it’s too early and…”
she started saying before Dr. Solloway took her hand.
“
Listen
Julie. This is perfectly normal. We get cases of women giving birth
earlier than their due date all the time,” she said. Julie
nodded. “So, you need to relax because you are almost there.”
Julie
took a long deep breath and leaned back on her pillow. Dana gave her
hand a reassuring squeeze.
“
You’re
okay,” she said in a soft voice.
“
You
are just saying that to make me feel better,” Julie said as she
took deep breaths.
“
None
of my kids were born on time,” she laughed as she looked at
Julie. “You will be just fine,” she added just as Steven
walked into the room.
“
Hey
you…are you okay?” he asked as he looked at Julie who
was now putting on a brave face. She tried smiling but she soon
cringed. “Okay we need to get her something…what can she
have for the pain?” he asked as he looked at Dana.
“
An
epidural,” Dana said quickly.
Steven
looked at Julie who was now nodding.
“
You
better get me that darn epidural. Right the fuck now!” she
screamed as she grabbed fistfuls of the bedding. Steven looked at
Julie and then at Dana. He didn’t know whether they could both
see it but he was freaking out. He was still trying to figure
everything out when a nurse walked in.
“
Thank
God you came. My wife needs an epi…that medication for pain,”
he struggled to say. The nurse smiled at him.
“
If
you were not English, I would have hesitated but your accent makes
everything sound so good,” she said as she added another pillow
behind Julie. “So Julie, are you consenting to an epidural?”
the nurse asked. Julie nodded. “Alright. I’ll just wheel
you to delivery and administer the epidural there,” the nurse
said before she began wheeling Julie out of the exam room and into
another room down the hall.
By
the time they got there, Julie wanted to scream. She had always
thought that labor was overrated but judging by what she was feeling,
it was as real as being hit by a train.
“
Okay.
I’ll just need you to turn to your side,” the nurse said
as she prepared a syringe and catheter. Steven helped Julie turn over
and held her as the nurse warned about the pressure from the needle.
“You are being really brave Julie,” the nurse said as
Julie buried her face in Steven’s shoulder. She didn’t
realize that she was digging her nails into his skin. She leaned back
on the pillows when the nurse was done. There were small beads of
sweat on her forehead.
“
Okay
Julie how are the contractions now?” the nurse asked as she
looked at Julie who was cringing as yet another contraction waved
over her. She was now breathing heavily and strands of her hair were
beginning to stick to her face.
“
Fucking
intense,” Julie said. “How long is this supposed to
take?” she asked as she writhed in pain.
The
nurse looked at her and smiled.
“
Fifteen
to twenty minutes. That should give your muscles enough time to ease
up,” the nurse said before she walked out. Steven wished he
could take Julie’s pain away as he held her hand. Julie had
been so engrossed in her own misery that’s he never even
noticed that Dana was no longer in the room. She looked at Steven and
forced a smile.
“
I
don’t even have any of my things here. I had packed my bag and
everything,” she said.
Steven
kissed her forehead and smiled.
“
I
already asked Chloe to bring it down here. You will be just fine,”
he said in a low voice.
“
I’m
scared,” she said in a whisper.
“
I
know but the baby is fine and so are you. There is nothing more
important to me than knowing that the two most important people in my
life are fine,” Steven said as he looked at her. Julie closed
her eyes again and leaned back against the pillows. Steven hated
having to see her in so much pain. He felt helpless.
For
the next few hours, Steven was not sure whether he wanted to be by
Julie’s side but he knew that the best thing to do at that
moment was to stay by his wife’s side. Even though the epidural
was supposed to help, he could still see the pain in his wife’s
flushed cheeks. He wished there was more he could do but as Dr.
Solloway advised, there was nothing much he could do except hold her
hand. Dana had taken off and was now waiting in the waiting room with
Meg and Julie’s family. And just when he thought that the
world was trying to hit him in the face, Dr. Solloway came in and
examined Julie. He could tell from the look on her face that all was
not well. He felt his heart pounding hard in his chest.
“
Steven
can I see you outside?” Dr. Solloway asked. Now, Steven was
more nervous than ever.
“
What’s
going on?” he asked when he stepped out.
“
The
baby is in breach,” Dr. Solloway said. Steven was confused but
he knew that was not a good thing.
“
What
does that mean?” he asked.
“
It
means that the baby is coming out feet first rather than head
first…but we’ve seen this before and I assure you that
your wife is in great hands,” Dr. Solloway said. “I’m
going to break the news to Julie right now…” she said.
Steven nodded and followed her into the delivery room. He was
surprised at how composed Julie was even after hearing the news. He
was not sure what happened next but the next thing he knew, a nurse
was holding smelling salts under his nose and the he could hear a
baby crying. He looked up to see Dr. Solloway smiling at him.
“
Mr.
Davenport, would you like to hold your son?” she asked with a
smile.
