Epilogue

Chase held Erica’s hand as she waddled down the stairs in front of the doctor’s office. She was almost forty weeks pregnant, huge, and completely miserable.

“I can’t believe he says I’ll go over my due date,” Erica groaned. “I can’t take much more of this. I’m so, so uncomfortable.” She stopped in the middle stairs and began to cry.

Chase put a soothing arm around her shoulder, and patiently waited as she got in control of her emotions. Her husband had bravely weathered her mood swings, cravings, and her rapidly changing body. He’d stood strong beside her while she went through this amazing, but sometimes confounding, experience.

“She’ll come when she’s ready,” Chase said, gently.

“I know.” Erica dried her eyes. “I’m just so ready to hold her.”

“It’ll be any day now,” Chase said. “Why don’t I take you out tonight? You need to get our mind off of waiting.”

Erica looked down at her ballooning belly, so large she couldn’t see her feet. “What can I possibly to in this condition?”

“What if I said you could eat lots and lots of food?” Chase said.

Erica raised her eyebrows. “Now you’re talking.”

Chase took her to a Sichuan restaurant. He’d researched how to encourage labor, and the Sichuan peppercorn found in this type of food was said to do the trick. They ordered a table full of dishes. Erica tasted everything. It was all delicious, very spicy, and the peppercorns produced a numbing sensation on her lips.

“Eggplant is supposed to help,” Chase said, holding a forkful to her lips.

Erica ate the eggplant seasoned with soy sauce and garlic, thinking how cute it was that Chase was trying everything he could think of to end her discomfort.

“Feeling anything yet?” Chase asked.

“No,” Erica said. “But I do feel like ice cream.”

After going to the ice cream parlor, and an emergency stop to the grocery store to get some chips, Chase and Erica came home for the night. Chase helped Erica climb up into their bed, and then he lay beside her.

“Thank you for taking my mind off of it,” Erica said. “You are such a sweet man.”

Chase turned over on his pillow. “I’m anxious to meet my daughter too. And you do look really uncomfortable.”

Erica looked up to the ceiling and sighed. “You’re right, though. She’ll get here when she gets here.” She kissed her husband good night, and turned off the light.

Hours later, she awoke in a pool of warm water, and with a terrible pain in her back.

“Chase,” she yelled.

Chase shot straight up in bed. His hair was ruffled from sleep and his eyes half closed. “It’s time?”

This is it, Erica thought. When our lives change forever.

“It’s time,” she said, smiling in the darkness.
