There For You Chapter 45 Nonproductive

“What do you mean nonproductive?” She lays hocked up to monitors as the painful contractions run through her. She is glaring at her midwife.

 

“Sorry Claire. I know it isn’t what you want to hear. But the contractions, though real, aren’t opening your cervix.”

 

“What do we do?” Jamie sits beside her, watching the monitor and her face.

 

“We have a couple of options.” She addresses Claire. “We can give you some Pitocin  to strengthen them or I can send you home and let you rest there until they naturally strength.”

 

“How,” She stops as the contraction rips through her again. Her hands reach for Jamie and he takes them.. “Jamie! Oh God!”

 

“Recall your breathing. Good. Almost over. There you go. Pull in, breath out. Grand job.”

 

“I can’t rest with these!” She addresses the midwife when she can breath.

 

“I will give you something to help you sleep. I am afraid this is going to be a long labor. You will feel better if you can rest for a bit. Your body isn’t yet ready to have this baby. Forcing it may not be the best option. But it is up to you.”

 

“Oh Lord! Okay. We will go home.”

 

“Good. Come back in the morning. I believe you will be ready to have her then.”

 

She  is unhooked from the machines and they walk out with a bottle with one little tablet in it. The sleep medicine. He takes her home and lays her down after she takes the little tablet. He them calls everyone to let them know that if will be awhile for the baby.

 

She had stripped all off before climbing into bed. Asleep within ten minutes of laying down, she sleeps but Jamie watches the pain run across her face as her uterus tightens. He doesn’t sleep but stays up and continues to time the contractions. He knows the idea to send her home was a good one as the pains are still not stable. One at five minutes, the next six, then four, before back to five. But they hurt her, even through her sleep.

 

“God,” he prays, “Please make this easy for her. I ken that it is to hurt but I can bear my own pain much easier then I can hers. She is just a wee little thing so please be easy on her.” He drifts off, sometime in the early morning with his hand on her tighten womb.

I am so fucking frustrated.

I procrastinated at the beginning of the afternoon (I had an appointment in the morning) and by the late afternoon I was getting down on myself for not even completing one of the three things I wanted to complete today. I had started on one of them, so I went back to it and finished it. It was an application for an internship. I continued to revise my cover letter until I was satisfied, I revised my resume until I was satisfied, I updated my profile on the program website, I filled in the open-ended question on the internship page, uploaded the documents as a zip as instructed, then hit submit and

it took me back to my profile. It had said to make sure my profile was up to date before submitting, so I thought maybe this was making sure of that. It was up to date. So I hit save again, expecting it to redirect me to the application, but it did not. So I went back to the menu and selected the internships listing page, and did what I did before which was search “library” (It was for a job at the Cleveland Public Library). Earlier today that had worked and I’d found my desired internship. This time

it did not. Nothing came up for ‘library’, the only thing that came up for ‘public’ was a public accounting firm, and nearly everything had Cleveland in the title so that wasn’t helpful. So I scanned through and read all the internship listings thoroughly. And mine 

was

gone. 

I want to scream. It is the only thing I accomplished today and I have accomplished so little this break and I wanted to accomplish so much I wanted to catch up in all the classes I am behind on (3/4). And instead I’ve only read 1 out of many, many readings I am behind on for each class. I also wanted to finish my job applications this week, my goal being seven. I’d chosen seven, and now I’m down to six, but I’ve already been rejected from one, rejected another, and had one not pan out, so I should really not count those in my seven. And now I’ve accomplished nothing today, and dinner is going to be ready in a couple minutes (I don’t like what’s being served but I’m a guest so I can’t say anything). I want to fucking die.
