"Hello?"

"Bobby.. are you in my driveway?"

Robert chuckles. "Yes."

"Why?"

"I couldn't leave you!  What if you need someone?"

"Aww!  You're so sweet!" Arvilla pouts.

"Just a little.  Is it hospital time yet?"

"Not yet, my contractions are about eight minutes apart.  I have to wait til they're at least five minutes apart, or until my water breaks.

"Oh okay.."

There was then a silence before Arvilla laughed.

"Bobby, just come inside."

"No, I want to give you your space."

"I'm fine now.  Just come in.  I'll be down to let you in.. tho it may take me a while. I'm due to have a contraction in about one minute. Gosh, I should have never climbed up all these stairs!"

Robert chuckles. "It's okay, I can wait."

Arvilla hung up the phone and immediately was hit with another contraction.

"Oh Gooooodddd.." She moaned.
Arvilla then squat down on the ground and breathed deeply.

"Joe, please help me.  Help these babies get out of me as quickly as possible.  Please!" She cries.

As soon as the pain passed Arvilla had to find a way to stand up.

"Oh God, why did you do this, Arvilla?" She whines.
Arvilla then crawls to the bed, and grabs it to pull herself up.

"AGHH!  Damn!" Arvilla stands up straight, catches her breath, and places her had on her very large stomach.

"You two are really working mama tonight.  You're gonna owe me big one day, little ones." She pats her belly.

Arvilla then walks down the hall, and to the stairs.
One hand on the railing, the other protecting her bump.

"Oh gosh these stairs!  My knees are bout the go, little piggies!" Arvilla softly scratches her nails over her round mid section.

Finally making her way to the door, she opens it and lets him in.

"Hey.." Arvilla says with a look of exhaustion.

"Hey!" Robert smiles.

"I want them out now, Robert." There were tears filling Arvilla's eyes.

"I know you do, Arvilla.  Soon though!"

"Right!" She scoffs. "Want anything to drink?"

"No, I'm okay, thanks though. You sit down."

"I can't sit down, my vagina cries everytime I do that."

"Oh!"

"Heidi's head is just right there!  She's eager!  Her little brother is not!" Arvilla nods and rubs the top of her belly. "He's way up here!"

"I can't even imagine how uncomfortable you are..
  I was just watching you though the window.
You were walking back and forth.  Your cute little belly leading the way!" Robert chuckles.

"By miles!" Arvilla adds.

She then looks down to her bump and smiles.
"As much pain as I'm in.. I.. I wouldn't change it for the world.  I never thought this would happen for me.  Being a mother is something I never knew I needed in my life.  I just wish Joe were around to see me do this whole mommy thing.  I just wanna make him proud."

"He is so proud of you, Arvilla."

Arvilla gives him a soft smile. "Thanks."

5:40 am.

"Yeah, right there." Arvilla moaned as Robert pressed her hips together.

"Ohhhhhhhh.."

Robert hated hearing Arvilla moaning and groaning in so much pain.

"Oh God! This hurts so bad.. but what you did felt good, thank you!

"It wasn't too hard?  I felt like I was gonna break you!"

"Heh, no you're fine.
.... I'm gonna send a message to Joe's son and let him know it's almost time.  Him and his family wanted to be here."

"Well that's nice."

"Yeah.. my grandchildren are really looking forward to the new babies." Arvilla laughs.

"Aw that's sweet."

"Yeah.. Oh there's Margene calling me Again!
Yes, Margene?"

"Arvilla, how are you?  Is it baby time yet?"

"No, not yet.  Margene, did you even give Emmett any attention?  It's was your wedding night, and all you've been worried about is Me!" She laughs.

"He understands!"

"I just feel sorry for him.  My wedding night was just sex, sex, sex all night long!" Arvilla says.

"Woo!  Well good job." Margene laughs.
"I just hate that you're there all alone. Emmett understands."

"I'm not alone."

"I know.  Joe's with you!  But I mean—"

"Well he is, but Robert is here with me."

"Oh!  Oh I feel so much better now!"

"Good!  Now go give your brand new husband Morning Sex." Arvilla smiles.

"Oh I will!" Margene laughs. "Call me when you're heading to the hospital."

"I will, love."

7:45 am.

"Oh Gooood!  I can't do this anymore!" Arvilla cries.
She bounces on her birthing ball and leaned forward on Robert when an intense contraction hit her.

"Breathe, sweetie.  Breathe.  I know it sucks right now, but you're doing so well!  Each pain is just bringing you closer to seeing your beautiful babies!"

Arvilla let's out a sob.

"It's okay.." Robert lovingly rubs her arm.

"I don't think I'm strong enough to do this, Bobby." Arvilla whispers.

"Stop that! You're strong and you CAN do this!
You're almost there, sweetie. The babies are ready to meet their mommy!"

Arvilla pouts and looks into Robert's eyes.

"You're gonna get to see what they look like soon!"

Arvilla laughs. "I am! I hope they look like Joe! Oh my gosh, I hope little Joe has his daddy's smile.. and his eyes." Arvilla says in a shakey voice.

"I bet he will! And I bet Heidi will have her mommy's beautiful eyes. Her mommy's beautiful blonde curls.. her mommy's gorgeous bright smile.. and her mommy's adorable little button nose." Robert smiles and softly taps his finger on Arvilla's nose.

Arvilla giggles. "Maybe."

Robert laughs and kisses her sweaty forehead.
"I don't doubt it."

Arvilla sniffles and Robert wipes her cheeks.

"Can we walk around the yard?" She asks.

"Whatever you want, sweetie."

Robert helps her up and they're off to walk around Arvilla's garden.

"Your belly looks so low!" Robert says placing his hand on the front of her bump.

"Doesn't it? It's making me waddle even more!"

"It's a cute waddle though."

"Thanks!" She chuckles. "Robert." Arvilla sighs.

"Yeah?"

"I know this is tmi but, I can like feel her head when I walk. She's right up in my vagina!"

"Ouch! But that's good, right? You want the baby to go down quickly?"

"Yeah! It's good.. it just hurts me." She pouts.

"Aw, I'm sorry!" Robert pulls her close and kisses the top of her head.

**

Arvilla had a couple contractions while walking through the yard. It was so much more peaceful out here. The birds chirping, the soft wind blowing through the air. Arvilla enjoyed the cool feeling against her sweaty skin.

"It feels good out here, doesn't it?" Robert asks.

"It sure does! And I get a nice breeze!" Arvilla smiles, grabbing the bottom of her night gown and moving her hips from side to side.

Robert laughs. "Hey, that's nice! I'm jealous."

"I can let you wear one of my nightgowns if you want."

"You're so kind!"

Arvilla laughs.

The two stayed outside for two hours. They walked and talked. Arvilla took Robert by the hand, and everything just felt so perfect.

At 9:45 am. Arvilla held Robert. Her eyes shut, her forehead pressed against his chest. Her hips swaying from side to side as the pain rolled through her body.

Arvilla breathes deeply, but couldn't help but let out a few little moans.

Suddenly she felt water trickle down her leg. She had just used the restroom, so she knew exactly what this was.

Arvilla looked up to Robert and said, "It's time."
