It was 3am on January 23rd. Evalee had awoken, and tiptoed her down the hallway to use the restroom. It was whilst she was sat on the toilet, that her waters broke. Initially, there was the relief that she was finally going to be in labor - after all, she felt like a whale. However, the reality also set in about the pain that was to come. “Dylan…” She said softly, shaking her husband when she went back to bed. “My waters have broken…I-I’m not getting any contractions yet, so we don’t need to go to the hospital…but…it’s happening.”
Dylan stirred in his sleep when Evalee got out of bed. Then after a few minutes he was woken by his wife shaking him. “Hey love, is everything okay?” And once she informed him of what was going on his worry started to slowly diminish. “You don’t know how happy it makes me to hear that. I can’t wait to meet the little guy” he pecked her lips. Let me know when your contractions start.” This time around Dylan is more prepared to help her and know that Ev will be in pain. He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back, hoping that she would get a little more sleep before her contractions start. “I’ll let mom know before we go to the hospital that you are in labour and that she needs to come grab Belle.”
