I don’t know which was worse: thinking I’d deliver my baby in the front seat of a Mack truck, or Jack’s face when he looks at my vagina as it’s stretched all out of shape. Either way, none of this is a happy experience. Pep is down at my legs, and Jackson’s behind my head, supporting my upper torso. Every couple of minutes I alternate between screaming at him to get the fuck off me, or continue wiping my forehead with a cool cloth.

“This is all your fault,” I scream.

“Uh, no, actually, that would be your other boyfriend.”

Pep looks up at my face with his eyebrow raised. I frown at him. “Hey, it’s been a really big year.”

He holds up his hands to ward me off, “Didn’t say a thing.”

I feel like everything on the inside bottoms out and drops through the floor, and then I have this insane urge to push. I don’t know if I’m supposed to yet, I admit I kinda skipped through reading the “birthing your baby” section in all of my pregnancy books, because that stuff makes me gag. I push as hard as I can. A scream comes ripping and tearing out of my throat and I grip Jack’s hand hard.

“Good. You’re doin’ great, Holly,” Pep says. “I can see the head.”

Jack leans forward a little, and then pulls back in an awful hurry. “Jesus Christ, that’s a head?”

“Jack?”

“Yeah, Hols?”

“I’m trying to squeeze a watermelon out through my hoo-hah, you say one more word, just one more fucking word and I will shove my fist through the head of your junk, and show you how this shit feels. Are we fucking clear, or do I need to bitch-slap you, too?”

Jack’s face is frozen in fear. He blinks a couple of times, and then his eyes dance wildly between Pep’s and the door. Another contraction hits, and I squeeze his hand so hard that I probably manage to put hairline fractures in a few of his bones. “If you even think about running I will come after you and strangle you with this kid’s umbilical cord. Don’t think I won’t do it. Because I will.”

He shoots another frantic look at Pep. “Don’t look at him, look at me. I’m the one having a fucking baby!” I scream as I feel the thing push its way further down my vagina. “Answer me!”

“I … I … am I allowed to speak now? I didn’t know there were going to be questions, Hols. I’m sorry? Could you maybe let go of my hand?”

“Fuck you and your hand!”

“Okay Hols, I think you need to just—”

“Shut the hell up, Jackarse. If I didn’t love you so much I’d be in a hospital right now, high as a kite, and abusing the midwives. But I do love you, and I’m here, with a strange truckie delivering my baby, and a man who’s desperate to run for the door at the first chance he gets. So shut the hell up, man the fuck up, and hold my hand.
