“Oh my god!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. I slammed my hand on the side of the tube, trying to endure the pain. This s**t here was literally killing me. Not only was I experiencing the most painful labor ever, Dale said there was so progress. I was still 3 and a half centimeters dilated. The pain that I felt lasted for three minutes, ended for five seconds and came back, strong as ever. I wished this s**t would just end. Karla stayed in the bathroom with me while Dale stepped out to make a couple phone calls. Sweat poured down my face as I tried to push once more. “I wished he was here.” I burst into silent tears. “He’s coming.” Karla reassured me. “Kieran said they were going to be here.” “Then, why have they not shown up!”
