Revenge: Queen Of The Fashion World - 169 Due date

After the relaxing weekend we had, the days and weeks ahead became busy. With the big project at its first stages, the N City Grand Mall, work was hectic.Andrea and I were half way thru the day and work when I felt pain in my abdomen. I cringed with the sharp pain and sat down for a moment.”Jill? What’s wrong?” Andrea was right by my side in no time.”Oh it’s nothing. The twins might have kicked a little hard.” I said to alleviate Andrea’s worries.”Are you sure?” Andrea asked worriedly. “Do you want something, water maybe?””Some water will be fine.” I smiled.”Okay. Just sit there and rest okay. I’ll get some water.” Andrea said. She walked out of the office hurriedly.I was having deep breaths trying to gauge the pain I was feeling.”Am I having contractions already?” I asked myself. “But my due date is still weeks away.”I looked at my desk calendar. My due date is encircled there, October 15.’And what day was it today?’ I thought to myself. I looked at my phone and it was the 1st day of October.”It’s October 1 today?!” My eyes went wide. Why have I been so absent minded about the date these past few days. I remember signing contracts and documents with dates there but it never really register to me what day it is because of the busy work. Then I remember Troy always asking me since last week if I am still going to work.***It was morning and I was readying myself to go to work.”Love, you’re still going to work?” Troy asked nicely.”Yes, of course.” I told him. “The N City Grand Mall project is in it’s first stages. I need to be there to overview things.””Okay. Just don’t overexert yourself.” Troy said and gave me a kiss in the forehead.”I know love. Thanks.” I said.***Similar conversations like this has been happening every morning the past week. ‘Is that why Troy was a little irritated at me this morning?’ I thought. I insisted in going to work today not knowing my due date is in two weeks time.I inhaled and exhaled in between pains. I was counting the time intervals of my contractions.”Jill here is some water.” Andrea came in with a cup of water.”Thank you.” I said.”How are you feeling now?” Andrea asked.”I think I’m having contractions.” I told Andrea the truth.Andrea’s eyes went wide. She hastily took the desk calendar from my table to look at it.”Your due date is two weeks from now?!” Andrea said in a surprise. “Oh my gosh. I’m sorry. I also forgot the date.” Andrea looked sorry and worried.”It’s not your fault. The date also slipped out of my mind.” I smiled then I felt pain again so my smile became contorted.”Oh my gosh what will I do? What will I do?” Andrea was starting to become hysterical.”Hahaha you look like a husband waiting for your wife to give birth.” At least I can still laugh.I looked at my watch and there was a ten-minute interval between the contractions.”You better call Troy.” I told Andrea.”Yes, yes. I need to call your husband. He is the one who needs to be hysterical, not me.” Andrea took her phone form her pocket and dialed when there was a knock on the door.”What is it?!” Andrea looked a little angry with the sudden knock. This made me giggle knowing that the always composed Andrea was getting a little irritable.”Um, I’m sorry. Is it not a good time?” Sarah asked while opening the door.”Oh Sarah, what is it?” I asked in a slow voice.”Oh my, Mrs. Jill, are you okay?” Sarah said worriedly.”Why, what happened?” A man’s voice came from behind Sarah. “Let me thru.”Sarah made way and I saw Adrian come in the office.”Mr. Adrian, now is not a good time.” Andrea said. “Oh hello, Troy.” Her focus was averted to the phone call.”I’m sorry Adrian, I guess we will need to postpone the meeting… ahhhhh.” I can’t help but scream with the next contraction I felt.”Calm down, Troy.” I hear Andrea said. “Jill is having her contractions.””Your in labor?!” Adrian asked dumbfounded. “Well what are we waiting for?!”I was still writhing in pain from the latest contraction when Adrian scooped me from my seat.”A-Adrian!” I said surprised. But I can’t find the strength to refute. The pain I was feeling was the only thing that I can think of right now.”This is an emergency, it’s no time to worry about other things.” Adrian said.So I just let him carry me.”Andrea!” I was searching for her while we are moving.”I’m just right here.” Andrea was just behind us.”T-Troy?” I asked.”Don’t worry, he’s on his way.” Andrea said.Not long we were in the parking lot of the building. Adrian gently put me inside the rear seat of his car. Andrea was just right behind me.”It’s okay Jill, breath, breath.” Andrea was trying to comfort me. I was breathing like in and out, like what I have learned from the videos about labor and child birth.”Where to?” Adrian was now at the driver seat.”Xavier Prince Hospital.” Andrea said in a monotone.Then the car zoomed out of the building. I was gripping Andrea’s hand a little tighter when the contractions come.”Breath Jill. Don’t worry, you’re going to be okay.” Andrea assured me. But she too was having a worried face.Then I felt something wet in my legs.”Andrea.” I looked at her in shock.”What?!” Andrea asked in a worried tone.”I think my water just broke.” I said.
