Page 73 of The Baby Twist
“I’ll grab your bag and call Thaddeus to meet us downstairs.”
“OH MY FREAKING GOD!” I yelled as I doubled over in sudden pain.
“Are you okay?” Lucas came running into the bathroom.
“DO I LOOK OKAY?” I shouted.
“Shit. Come on, babe. We really have to go.”
He grabbed my bag and hooked his arm around me as we slowly walked to the elevator.
“Oh, my God, Lucas.”
“It’s okay, babe. Just get in the elevator, and we’ll get you to the hospital.”
I was highly agitated. Not just from the pain but from the way the damn elevator kept stopping on different floors.
I grabbed his shirt.
“I just want you to know that I hate you for living on the 82ndfloor. Hate you!”
“Duly noted, babe.”
When the elevator finally stopped on the lobby floor, I had to stop for a second while another contraction hit.
“OH, MY GOD!” I doubled over in pain.
“No need to panic. She’s in labor.” Lucas smiled at the people who were staring.
“Do you need help, Mr. Thorne?” Russell came running over.
“Thaddeus is waiting outside for us. We need to get Jenna to the hospital.”
“Okay. It stopped. I can make it to the car,” I spoke.
We were on our way to the hospital, and the contractions were coming four minutes apart. I could barely breathe I was in so much pain.
“Are we almost there? I feel like this baby is coming right now!” I shouted.
“Jenna, you are not having our baby in the back of our car. Hold her in.”
“Oh, okay, Lucas. You idiot.” I slapped his chest.
“Listen, don’t get an attitude with me. You’re the one who just told her it was okay to come now.”
“You’d be wise not to say another word to me!” I shouted.
The car pulled up to the ER entrance, and Thaddeus ran inside to alert someone while Lucas tried to help me out of the car and into the wheelchair a nurse had brought out.
“I’m going to take you up to Labor and Delivery,” she spoke as she wheeled me inside.
“Listen to me, lady. I won’t make it. This baby is coming NOW!” I shouted.
“Okay.” She pushed the button on the wall while I screamed.
“What’s going on here? Why aren’t you taking her up to Labor and Delivery?” a doctor asked as he walked over.
“She said the baby is coming right now.”
