—MICHELLE MARCINIAK

I walked back in the living room, and I said, “Michelle, I’m afraid we have to cut this visit short. The baby is on its way.” All of a sudden it clicked with her why her dad was pacing and fiddling with the change in his pocket. I turned to Mickie. “We’ve got to go. Now,” I said.

Michelle stared at me with big alarmed seventeen-year-old eyes that said, Are you about to have a baby on my couch? Everyone immediately went into motion. Mickie babbled that she wasn’t sure she could find her way back to the airport, so Michelle and her brother Steve offered to lead us there in their car. We went speeding through town at eighty miles per hour—and at one point took a shortcut the wrong way down a one-way street. As we wove through traffic, I went into another contraction and tilted the passenger seat all the way back and started groaning again.

I look back in the rearview mirror, and I see Pat’s feet on the dashboard. Her head is back and you can tell she’s in a lot of pain. And we’re flying. We go through stoplights, Do Not Enters, stop signs, just to get to the private airport.
