About 7 months later....

“I hope you have your bags packed.” Dr. Misti-Cooper wheeled her chair away from Kat’s open legs. “Because your water has broken.”

“Hallelujah!” Kat announced while AJ paled. “That means we can just go over to the labor and delivery unit, right? No going home? No more waiting?”

“Yes to all of those,” Dr. Misti-Cooper said with a smile. “You’re going to have a baby.”

“Thank you, Doctor!” Tears of relief streamed down Kat’s face. The pregnancy had been rough. The morning sickness had lasted her entire pregnancy. Everyone kept telling her it would go away when she hit the second trimester, but it never did. The nausea and vomiting had lasted all the way up to the end.

But today was her last day of puking, because she was going to have this baby.

“Would you like a wheelchair? Or do you want to walk over?” asked Dr. Misti-Cooper.

“I’ll walk,” Kat told her. “It’ll help progress labor, right?”

The doctor nodded and helped her sit up on the exam table. “How are you feeling?”

“Nervous. Excited. Happy. Relieved.” Kat listed off just some of the emotions going through her. A contraction hit, stronger than the ones before. “Oooo- and ouchie.”

The doctor waited patiently, timing her contraction. “Looks good. How about you, Dad?”

AJ grinned. “Excited and nervous.”

“What? No ouchie on your end?” Kat teased him. “I thought we were in this together.”

AJ laughed and took her hand. “Squeeze as hard as you need to. I’m with you all the way.”

The walk over to the labor and delivery floor was short and easy.

“Name?” asked the nurse at the front desk. “And are you pre-registered?”

“Yes, and the name is Kat Ryder.” Kat had to pause for a moment as another contraction hit.

“Okay.” The nurse typed something into the computer. “We have a room all ready for you. Are you the father?”

AJ nodded.

“We need you to sign into the visitor’s log,” the nurse told him, pushing a clipboard across the counter.

AJ only let go of Kat’s hand long enough to scribble his name on the paper.

“Excellent, Mr. Jacobson,” the nurse said, handing him a badge. “If you’ll follow me, we’ll take you to your private suite.”

“Private suite?” Kat asked as the nurse came around the desk and motioned them to follow her down the hall.

“I might have called ahead and had something special set up,” AJ replied nonchalantly.

Kat was about to reply when another contraction hit and she had to stop in her tracks and focus on breathing.

Long breath out, she thought to herself. Imagine a flower bud opening up. This is your body opening and preparing. You can do this.

The contraction didn’t stop. It was her longest and strongest one yet, but Kat was able to tolerate it.

You know, if this is as bad as it gets, I can totally do this without meds. I am woman, hear me roar!

The room was the same as the one she had been in before, but AJ had definitely called ahead. In addition to the regular hospital bed, there
