Anna really loved her husband but he was still driving the Healers crazy with his worrying. She didn't mind, since it only showed her how much he cared about her and their child.
She had been awake for a long time and all she wanted to do was sleep, but it seemed like every time she wanted to drift off, the contractions would come full force.
She hadn't had anything to eat since dinner the night before and she was hungry and exhausted, but of course she couldn't have anything until the baby was born.
When the Healer came in and examined her for the fifth time in the past hour, she was surprised when she told her that she would be able to start pushing.
Anna gripped Kirley's hand, her eyes going wide. Now she was scared.
