"Oh my god! Oh my god!"
"Amanda, calm the hell down," I breathe out, watching as she paces up and down in front of me.
"Calm down?" She responds, whipping around. Her eyes are wide with panic and she clutches her head dramatically.
"You're having a baby! Oh my god."
"Amanda, get Jake," I tell her firmly, my words blunt. She stops pacing and turns to look at me, nodding profusely. Her dark hair whips around her and I inhale deeply, remembering to breathe. The pain disappears and re-appears every few minutes, shooting down my stomach and legs.
"Breathe! That's what they say right? And we need hot towels and water." Amanda panics whilst waiting for Jake to answer. I glance at my watch -
The ambulance will be here in under ten minutes.
Will my baby last that long?
"Oh god, please be okay." I whisper, clutching my stomach tightly. A sharp pain immediately shoots through my stomach and I let out a yelp, squeezing my eyes shut tightly.
