Beginning of labor
At 2 a.m., Ellen woke up with a sudden pain and sat on the edge of her bed, holding her stomach and breathing. It is labor pains. She picks up her cell phone and calls the hospital, telling them she is on her way and calls a cab alone. As we drove through the city at night, I felt a mixture of anticipation that I would see her soon, but also anxiety that I might not be able to hold her. Eventually, the cab stopped in front of the hospital and she slowly got out. Then the moment of destiny arrives.
