Ally gazed out of the window of the car, watching the trees zoom by and feeling the slight bumpyness of the old road. The worn leather seatbelt fit tightly around her bottom section and she needed to use the bathroom. A strand of black hair fell down in her face and she blew it away. She had left work feeling moody and uncomfortable, mostly because of a lasting backache that had plagued her throughout the day. The old car didn't do much to make her feel any better, but her husband Wesley was in the seat beside her, and that made her feel safe. His amber hand moved to switch on the radio; the Rawhide theme-song soon filled the car. She rolled her creamy yellow eyes and gently slapped him. He knew she hated any and all blue grass/country music, which is what made this all the more better. She playfully pouted all the rest of the way home.

When they got home, her ache was still there and had moved down her spine. She waddled over to a loveseat and sat down, propping her bottom with pillows and watching the glow of the electronic clock. Ten minutes passed and the aching became stronger for about thirty or forty seconds. She bit the inside of her cheek and watched the clock again. Ten minutes later the exact same thing happened. She released a breath and tapped her blue fingernail on the arm of the chair. It was fairly safe to assume it was the activity of the day that was causing the aching. She was pregnant with Wesley's first child and was four days away from automatic maternity leave. She turned to her husband. "Wes," she said, "Can you get me a heating pad? This backache is terrible." His caramel brown eyes turned to her. "Sure thing Alleyway." He did as told and handed her one, which he helped her put on. Some of the pressure was taken off, to her relief. "Don't start dinner yet, I'm gonna take a nap." He nodded. "Do what you have to. I'll be out here watching Rachel Maddow." She smiled at him and went to their bedroom.

Changing into her nightclothes, she lay herself on the soft queen-sized bed and quickly fell asleep. She woke up a few hours later and to her dismay the backache was stronger than before. She saw that it was nearly midnight and felt her love in bed beside her. She slowly got up and went to the bathroom, undressing. She readied the bath tub and pinned her hair up into a bun. The warm water felt good, especially on her back, and helped her relax. After thirty minutes of staying in the tub, all aching went away. She dried herself off and redressed in her lazy clothes, going back to sleep. She woke up in the morning to find that the aches were back but that it was easy to ignore it. She went to work with Wesley and rode back home with the day having been perfectly normal. They were driving along when Wesley asked, "Do you want to go out for dinner tonight? I was thinking we could go to Texas Roadhouse." She grinned. "Sounds like a plan." So that's where they went.

Getting back home after the meal, he made a point of helping her out of the car and putting pillows under her on the couch. He then sat beside her and offered to put in Letters To Juliet. She raised an eyebrow. "What's with this all of the sudden? You aren't trying to come on to me, are you West?" He rolled his eyes. "What ever made you think that?" He put the movie in anyway and they watched it together. They were so focused on the movie that by the half-way point, she only knew she needed to pee. She looked over at him. "Pause the movie, I have to take a piss." He made a 'T.M.I.' face and paused it. As she stood, the liquid she was holding in gushed out of her and soaked the carpeted floor. In amongst her shock she felt the aches around her middle. They came faster and hurt more than before. She looked over at him, the couple aghast. Sheepishly she smiled, "Um, I think my water just broke." He sat her back down on the couch and went in the other room to pack; they hadn't expected this so soon. Luckily it only takes him thirty minutes and she and the luggage are loaded into the car. Her eyes again focus on the trees passing by and as labor intensifies, she handles it well. They arrive at the Birth Center and get checked in.

Their midwife is a small albino woman named Teresa. She has perfectly shining white teeth and asks in an airy voice what Ally wanted to do. She said she wanted to get into the tub, so Wesley had the honor of taking her clothes off and they went naked into the tub together. Ally had requested this; she was only going to show her body if he showed his. He obliged, not wanting to see her angry like he had in years past. The tub felt better than she thought it would, and her husband massaged her back. She zoned out into her "own little world" and had never felt so calm. After forty-five minutes, Teresa reminded her that she should change positions every so often so that the baby has proper alignment. She and her lover get out of the tub and her eye is attracted to the clear birth ball near a high window. She kneeled over it and was able to sway her hips, softly moaning whenever pain came and zoning off again. She continues doing this until she feels an odd pressure down at her rear-area. It comes again and she explains the feeling to the wetnurse, who gives her a wide smile. "That means you're pushing. It would help to get into a proper position. Do you want to go back into the tub?" She said yes and they helped her back in to the welcoming water. It was easy to sink into the tub and find a good position to labor in. Gently pushing with each contraction, she gazed up at Wesley's eyes for what only seemed like seconds. She felt little to no pain as the shoulders passed through the opening, and only felt joy when she heard a soft cooing. Lifting her head, she caught the first glimpse of her newborn son. Terrance.
OKAY! I figured: Hey, I haven't submitted anything in a while. Let's try.. birth! So I went to this AWESOME website called Birthing Naturally. They have amazing realistic virtual labor scenarios (which I go on every other day).

So I clicked 'Start' and wrote out the scenario from a character's point of view. I'll probably do more of these if it turns out well. Thanks for reading~!
