When she reached up to stroke his cheek, the ache in her abdomen became more intense, more prolonged. Rachel knew the signs; she was going into labor.

For the first time since the moment they met, she saw sheer panic in his eyes. He gaped. He gasped. He ran to the door. Then back to her. “Are you sure?”
She nodded. “This is what I do.”
He placed one hand on her belly, leaned down and kissed her. “It’s going to be all right.”
And it was.
