6 hours later

The whole family waited in the waiting room, but Dorothy Ann, Jane, were in the room with Jessica. All this time Jessica only dilated 3 centimeters and she wouldn't stop crying.

"Jessica, please stop crying! We know you want Danny here, but he won't be here no matter what you ask! Now you need to think about the fact that soon there will be these beautiful kids and that your support next to you, holding your hand!" Jane's pointing at Dorothy.

"I....I know, but I can't help it, Jane! I'm scared!"

"Don't be, honey! You can do it! And all this pain is worth it when you see your babies!" Dorothy kisses her hand.

"Can the doctor check me?"

"He checked you two minutes ago, Jessie!" Ann giggles.

Jessica nods and closed her eyes, throws her head back, breathing hard.

"Don't hold it, honey!"

Jessica exhales and smiles.

"Can we go for a walk?"

"Sure!"

Dorothy and Jessica went out to the waiting room and the children ran to hug her.

"Hi!" Jessica smiles.

"Will we see the grandchildren soon?" Albert walks up to them

"I'm only 3, so no!" Jessica giggles

"Where's Danny? I thought he wanted to be here?!" Albert raises his eyebrow.

"Let's not talk about it! Oh, ouch, that's one strong!" she squeezes Dorothy's hand.

"Mmmmm...Ah!.....okay, better now!"

"Oh, it looks painful!" Alicia makes her face like she's in pain

"It is, honey!"

8:42

The doctor checked on Jessica and she could tell that there was no good news.

"Still 3?!"

"4!"

"Shit! I want them out now!" she raises her voice

"aaaaah, FUCK!" she grabs the edge of the bed and moans in pain.

"Each time is stronger and stronger, but I'm dilated only 4 centimeters! Huh!!"

"I'm sorry!" the doctor says

"Well, it's not your fault!" she smiles.

"Darling, try to sleep, you need some rest!" Dorothy, kisses her on the forehead.

"Okay, but promise me you'll stay here!"

"I promise!" Dorothy smiles and sits on a small sofa.

Jessica fell asleep, but continued moaning from pain. Dorothy also tried to close her eyes for an hour, but the sofa was not comfortable.

"Hey" Albert walks in and sits down next to Dorothy.

"Where are the girls?"

"They took the kids home!" he looks at her, seeing how she's uncomfortable

"Come here!" he stretches his hand and she lays on his shoulder, he hugs her, kissing her forehead.

"She's doing great!"

"She is" Dorothy smiles.

"One question haunts me" Albert's voice sounds serious

"Mm?"

"Where Is Danny?"

"He's in a coma, Al. He had a car accident on thanksgiving and the next day he went into a coma."

"Omg! Jessie needs him."

"I know...but she can do it and we'll support her"

Btw, I can't help it but I started a new story called "What was before" and I'd be glad if you'd read the first chapter😂
