Epilogue

“Green light, sweetheart.” ~ Jase

SOMETHING WASN’T RIGHT as I headed back to the living room. I stopped in front of the couch, handed Moose the bowl of popcorn, and glanced down at my leg. It was wet. “Uh oh,” I mumbled.

“What’s going on, Cass?” His brows pinched together. “Did you just pee your pants?”

Before I could say another word, there was a loud whooshing, as water gushed through my pants and down my leg. “M-my,” I paused, my heart about to jump out of my chest, “my water just broke.” With wide eyes I glanced up, locking gazes with Moose and then Mel.

“Your water just broke?” Mel set down her glass of iced tea, eyebrows arched high as she waited for my response.

Unable to speak, I nodded. My voicebox seemed to be on the floor with my water. The apartment suddenly spinning, I reached out, setting a shaky hand on Moose’s arm, bracing myself.

Mel’s face lit up as she clasped her hands together, practically bouncing in her spot. “Oh my God! Your water broke, sweets!”

Moose’s warm hand blanketed mine. “Oh man, it’s really happening.” He sounded as nervous as I felt.

I blinked, my heart racing, my body tingling with nerves. “It is.”

“We need to leave.” Mel’s overexcited tone didn’t go unnoticed, but I didn’t have an excited bone in my body. Simply put, I wasn’t ready. I shook my head, fighting the tears ready to unleash.

I had the book, I went to the hospital along with Mel and Moose to practice what would come, but nothing, and I mean nothing, prepared me for the pure panic that had taken over.

“I can’t believe it’s really time. Hurry, guys!” Mel reached out for my hand. “And I really wish you’d have found out the sex of the baby so we can stop calling it an it and a this,” she added.

I swallowed hard, trying not to cry. “You know why. So don’t go there, not today.” Jase and I were supposed to find out the sex of the baby together. I didn’t have the heart to do it without him.

She did a quick nod, regret covering her face. “We really have to go.”

Moose palmed my back as I padded to the door, both of them behind me. “You can do this, Cass, we’re here for you,” he whispered and I bit back a cry.

Could I though?

“We’re not leaving your side.” Mel wore a warm smile, as she clutched onto my overnight bag, ushering me out of the apartment.

“Thank you,” I mumbled quickly before tears drowned my words.

Each step further down the stairs was another step closer to the unknown. Toward a future that had me scared out of my mind.

Mindless chatter surrounded me. Mel and Moose talked about how excited they were and who would get to hold the baby first, how they couldn’t wait to see him or her.

They seemed so sure, but they also weren’t the ones that just went through the heartbreak that I did. They weren’t alone in this.
