Majory's Second Chance Chapt 24 (about time)

[tabatha]

Majory moaned in her sleep. Cramps and spasms coming and going. Like the ebb and flow of the sea they lived so close to. But it was getting stronger and closer together. Down on the floor a nearly full grown Wulfric whined at his master's distress. He padded to her, nose to her belly and felt the movement. Barked loud enough for Apolo to hear it in his dreams. She came awake with a start. Panic wanted to take over but she couldn't let it. Wouldn't help anyway. Majory had to grit her teeth over the next crash of pain to surpress the cry. Shook her husband nearly enough to have him rolling out of bed. His usual well kept hair was out of place. If it weren't for the pain, she would of smiled. "What it is Majory?"

"I think I'm in labor." Another contraction came and went. "This feels pretty real this time." The last time, false labor had Apolo rushing her to the hospital but to his dismay, the baby wasn't coming just yet. Sure felt like she wanted out right now. "Come on, this is what we've been waiting for since we heard the news." An odd sense of calm washed over her. He bent his head and kissed her.

"Thank you so much for this gift." Hand over the spot where the baby lie.

"Yeah, well you helped." She wouldn't blame him for the pain... wouldn't blame him. "I think we need to go." Just then she felt a gush. Grimaced. That was going to leave a mess.

"I'll get the stuff ready and pull the car closer."

"Okay." She breathed. And kept breathing for it was the only thing that kept her sane.

The pain was all she could think it about. It felt as though her womb was ripping away from her and being forced inside out. Apolo lead her to the car, opened the door. He looked worried. "The baby isn't ready yet. Give her a few more moments." He opened his own door and started the car. He drove at a faster speed, but not enough to put anyone in danger.

Majory let out a scream. The sharp pain was unexepected. Then she began to grit her teeth. "Breathe, just breathe." He chanted to her in a calm voice. She expected to snap, for he did this to her, but instead, she calmed enough to where she didn't curse or lose control.

"We'll get there, and we'll have a healthy baby. All will go fine." Majory would have smiled if it didn't hurt.

"Yes, we will ,won't we?" Another pain. "These are right on cue. Feel too close together." She arched her back. Her belly tightened. Looks like the little one was closer than she thought.
