Janey McCleod: Is there any way you’ll deliver this kid?
Janey McCleod: No, seriously… I think my vagina is going to turn into the Grand Canyon.

Michelle’s giggles at the texts were stopped short the moment Janey let out a painful cry. The messages made complete sense as she watched her friend handle a particularly long contraction.

Jake kissed Michelle’s head again and walked out with Scott a moment later. Michelle moved to stand near Janey’s head as to avoid seeing things that could not be unseen.
“Jake’s the guy you wouldn’t tell me about?” Janey asked.
“Yeah. I didn’t know you guys knew him.”
Janey and Eric shared a look before bringing their attention to her. “He doesn’t come out much—you should know—”
“It’s baby time!” the nurse at the foot of the bed announced as she removed her gloves.
