Anya I was sitting by the window and reading Daddy Dearest by Eva Harlowe when I felt my first contraction. I put the book down and pressed my hand against my abdomen. It felt strange. I heard a popping noise that came from inside my body, and then I felt water trickling down my ankle. Did I just pee myself? I thought at first, but then I immediately realized what was happening. My water broke! I dropped the book and, grabbed the cell phone, and dialed 911. Then, I dragged myself to the bathroom. I wasn't overflowing with water like in movies, but I didn't want to take the risk of ruining the carpet. I called Connor but couldn't reach him. "Goddammit, you asshole! Why aren't you here when I need you?" I screamed by myself, then called my mother. Ariel picked up the phone immediately.
