The Ride That Never Came
The first contraction arrived a little after ten o’clock on a rainy Thursday night.
I had been standing in the kitchen making a cup of tea when a sudden wave of pain forced me to steady myself against the countertop.
Grant was sitting at the dining table with his laptop open in front of him.
He wore a brand-new dress shirt I had never seen before, and his phone rested face down beside his computer.
I waited until the discomfort eased before speaking.
“Grant… I think it’s time.”
Without lifting his eyes from the screen, he continued typing.
“Time for what?”
“I’m in labor. My doctor told me to come to the hospital right away because of my blood pressure.”
