Caleb shook his head rapidly, bowing it down against his chest "No... No... Can't... It's coming, Zach..." Caleb cried out, fingers tugging hard at the sheets beneath him "I have to push... I have too." Caleb pleaded, tears staining his red face as he groaned loudly.
The nurse had a slightly alarmed look on her face, pressing the call button rapidly on the wall above the bed "Honey, we can't have you pushing yet... Please, we need to get the monitors on." The nurse tried to keep a calm voice, but it was obvious that she was kind of new, especially to delivering a child.

Dr. Evans said, already starting to move around so she could see what exactly was going on with Caleb, carefully pulling his soaked sweats down to around his kneecaps. Her own eyes widened as she looked up at Zach "How long has he been in active labor?! I thought I told you guys to come in at seven minutes apart? He's already crowning!"
