Dr. Williams continued to pop in and out to check on me throughout the day. But when the sun starts to set, he walks in with two nurses. The nurses push in two small incubators as Dr. Williams instructs them. He turns to me and says "We want to make sure we have everything on hand... just in case."
I frown at his words and say "I'm not going to make it much longer... am I?" Dr. Williams sighs and says "We're doing everything we can to give them more time... Just try to relax. Stress will make it worse." I want to laugh at him but I just nod my head as he leaves with the nurses.
I gently stroke my stomach and softly say "I know you two are eager to come out but you have to wait a little longer, okay? It's not time for you to come just yet..." I look out the window as the red sun rays wash over everything in the empty room.
