Sidney sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the covers as his belly cramped. He made a face and let out a slow breath. He'd been having false contractions for the last four weeks, making bedrest even more fraught with nervousness. He kept waiting for them to edge over to real contractions but so far they hadn't and he only had to get through one more week and then Marc promised he would induce labor. He had given Sidney shots to help their daughter's lungs develop so she would be ready and Sidney was still holding steady, dilated at 2 just like he had been since he started bedrest.
Silas came out of the bathroom and Sidney looked up at him, finishing breathing through the false contraction. "I'm ready. I feel so gross and sweaty today."
