Elián;
What the actual fuck is happening to my body?!!
One second I'm falling through the dark, with my ears ringing and my stomach in my throat. The next second I'm lying on a bed in a room I've never seen, with a mountain of pain sitting on my hips, and a woman at the end of the bed yelling, "NOW!"
Now what?? Now WHAT?!
I try to sit up, but a hand pushes me back. It's big, warm and it's shaking, and I know whose it is before I even open my eyes. I've missed that touch so much I could scream.
"Koda," I gasp.
"I'm here."
"Koda, something's wrong. Something is VERY wrong. Why does it feel like this? Is it supposed to feel like this?!"
"Yes."
"Nobody told me it feels like this!" I scream as my brain instantly understands that I'm in labour.
For a whole month, I missed home, and my big homecoming is labour!?
"I know, my love." Koda says, and I frown.
