You were in the office when you got the text from your husband, Shayne. "On my way to hospital - they're ready to come." You were already nervous about going to work on your husband's delivery date, especially when he's at full-term with twins. However, your manager still doesn't believe you when you say your husband is pregnant, so is adamant on keeping things normal.
You had no choice but to sneak out of the office, telling a colleague that your husband was in labor. The colleague shrugged and agreed to make up something about you needing to meet an offsite client for the afternoon.
You did 10 kilometres over the speed limit down the highway, hoping to shave off a couple of minutes to get to the hospital. You called Shayne, hoping he made it to the hospital in one piece too. You could hear him groaning and puffing with each growing contraction.
"Babe, these contractions are - mmm - getting closer." Shayne sighed as another contraction peaked.
"I'm 15 minutes away, think you can hold on until then?" you ask.
"Ahh, I don't know babe.." Shayne pulls the phone away to scream as another contraction builds up and peaks.
"Alright, just.. I don't know, clench your ass. I'll be there as quick as I can. Love you, babe!" you say as you hang up the phone.
You throttle the accelerator, hoping to get there are soon as you can.
You dash to the birthing unit and see your husband laying in the bed, panting, sweating and red. You see that he's only covered with a hospital blanket - clearly the gown either felt uncomfortable or didn't fit.
Shayne didn't hear or see you coming in, as he was so focused on his next contraction.
"Alright Shayne, on the next contraction, I want you to push as hard as you can." the midwife says. Shayne moans as he feels the next contraction come over very quickly.
"Ah, Mason, we were worried you were going to miss the birth of your first son. Stand here and rub Shayne's back." another nurse quietly says as she helps you sit near Shayne.
It worked out to be perfect timing. 10 minutes and 3 pushes later, your first son was born, followed by your second son another 15 minutes later.
