Hours ago, Grayson hospital.
The painful contractions were too unbearable, the hospital room was a cocoon of soft lights and frantic voices and movements.
But for Anne, the whole world seemed to have faded away narrowing down to the unbearable pain that rolled through her body. It was an agonizing tightening and releasing that happened in sessions.
It felt like her very bones were humming, a magnetic force drawing everything out of her, energy, breath, and panic. Her breathing kept huffing in soft clouds and even as she looked around she couldn't see anyone familiar around her.
From the moment she had been wheeled into this room, she had lost sight of Jasmine at some point who had been with her constantly.
The doctors and nurses surrounded her, giving guided instructions.
"You're doing great Ma'am, this baby is in a hurry. On the next big one, I want you to push right here okay? Give it everything."
