Isha
“Well, Isha. It could be any day now. If your water doesn’t break soon, I think we should induce you,” Doctor Evans said.
“But I’m only thirty-six weeks,” I said, startled. Ford was holding my hand, Mic was standing next to him. Dawson and Davis had work they couldn’t get out of which was disappointing but understandable. I couldn’t have all of them with me
all the time.
“Yes, but with twins it’s not like a regular pregnancy. You’re also dilated to a two.”
Mic and Ford inhaled sharply.
“That’s amazing, we’re ready, the nursery at home is ready, the house on the hill will be finished in three months, James will have everything ready for the wedding, and that should be enough time for you to find a wedding dress, right?” Mic
asked.
“I… I guess. It’ll all depend on how fast my body bounces back after birth,” I said a little stunned.
“Well, you were in pretty good shape before you got pregnant, but I think five or six months after birth would give you
more time for your body to “bounce back,” Doctor Evans said with finger quotes.
“That will be perfect, Princess. An August wedding on the hill will be gorgeous,” Ford said.
He was right, it would be. And really, five months instead of three would give James, me and Aria more time to plan the
wedding.
“So, any time now, and I am already dilated to a two?”
“Yes. Your water will either break on its own or, let’s say, in two weeks we induce you.”
“Okay, let’s schedule that,” I said. I felt a calm come over me, I could do this. Any day now, any day. Let’s not freak out.
“Mom, Nana, and Uncle Mark will be here tomorrow. This is actually good timing. Everyone will be here. Robert has both
of the houses they’re renting ready for them. I’ll just keep busy and help mom and Nana unpack.”
“No heavy lifting,” Doctor Evans interrupted me. I didn’t even realize I was talking out loud.
“No worries, the guys have been watching me like a hawk. They even took away my ten-pound weights.”
She chuckled and shook her head. “She can lift ten pounds. Man, I wish all my fathers-to-be were as protective as your guys are.”
“I’m lucky,” I said, looking at Mic and Ford. I loved them so much.
“You know what could help start labor and also help during labor?” Doctor Evans asked.
I shook my head.
“Well, your body is already preparing for you to have your babies. Semen and orgasms can help soften the cervix and help
stimulate uterine contractions.”
“Well, doc, it was good seeing you. Mic and I will be getting Isha home now and help her in any way we can. We’ll give you a call to let you know when we will be going to the hospital,” Ford said, grabbing some paper towels and cleaning my stomach off himself. Mic helped me put my pants back on and Doctor Evans started chuckling as she walked out the
door.
“Let’s go, Baby Girl, Ford and I have some cervix softening and uterine stimulation to do,” Mic said, practically carrying me
