Twenty-Two Weeks Pregnant

“Where do you want me to put this ugly Harry Potter lamp?” Jill questions from the corner of the nursery.

My eyes fly over to where she’s holding up one of Jackson’s newest Internet finds. “Ugh. The trash?” I groan.

She giggles, and I smile back. It’s been a month since we agreed to adopt Jill’s baby. All of the necessary paperwork has been drawn up by our attorneys and signed off on by a judge. In a couple of weeks or so, we’ll be welcoming him into our family. We’re incredibly thankful for her gift to us.

“Just kidding. You can set it on the end table between the cribs,” I instruct.

Since the babies will be so close together, mine being born only about three months after hers, we decided to put the beds in the same room. We’re going to need to think about moving soon because we’re very quickly outgrowing our loft.

“Ouch,” she whimpers, and I quickly stand to see what’s going on, ignoring my own ache that stretches across the side of my abdomen.

“Are you okay?” I question.

“I think I’m having another Braxton Hicks contraction. Those things are so annoying,” she complains.

“Come on. Let’s go take a break.” I motion for her to follow me into the kitchen.

While we may not see eye to eye on everything, Jill and I have grown rather close. I feel protective over her—not just because she’s carrying the baby that will soon be mine, but also because she’s like a little sister to me now.

“I can make us some lunch. What do you feel like having?” I question. I must be hungry and overworked because my skin suddenly feels flushed and I think I might pass out. We’ve worked too long since breakfast. I need food and soon.

“Pizza,” she tries with a laugh, but it’s cut short when she has another pain. “Ow!”

“Jill, are you sure you’re having Braxton Hicks? Maybe you should go lie down on the couch,” I say before nervously chewing on my lip.

The ache in my own belly now starts to worry me. As she waddles over to the couch, I find my phone and call my husband.

“Hey, beautiful,” he answers in the deep timbre that always makes my knees go weak.

“Can you come home? Jill is having sharp pains and I’m not feeling so hot either, Jackson. Please,” I whine.

“Shit. Of course. I’ll call Laura and will be there in fifteen minutes,” he replies urgently before hanging up.

I don’t want to freak out, but I’m about to freak the hell out.

Plastering on a calm look, I walk into the living room to meet the wide eyes of Jill. “What?” I demand, all calmness gone right out the damn window.

“I think I peed myself,” she whispers in horror.

I would smile, but another pain that nearly brings me to tears wraps around my side. Please, God, do not let this be happening to me.

Choking back a sob, I make my way over to her and grab her hands. “Jill, I think your water just broke.
