"No way."
I nod my head. Josh squeezes my hand.
"I love you."
"I love you too." I answer back. Arabella starts to wander away from us.
"Bella! Come here honey!" Josh calls after her. Bella looks at us and keeps walking away. Josh sighs and crouches down and opens his arms.
"Arabel-la, Daddy needs a hug!" Bella looks at him and comes running back. Josh scoops her up and turns back to me.
"Need any help?" I shake my head no, and we start back to the car. Josh opens the door for me and I get in. He straps Arabella into her carseat and then gets in and starts the car. We start heading to the hospital.
At a red light, Josh calls my mother and asks her to meet us at the hospital. The light turns green and he hangs up. All of a sudden, I feel a really concentrated contraction and some movement going on.
"Josh, we won't make it. The baby's coming NOW." Josh takes one glance at my face and pulls over to the side of the road. He gets out and unstraps Bella and tells me to get into the back seat. As I get out of my seat and open the back door, Josh takes Bella and puts her into the front seat, with the carseat in the driver's seat. He helps me into the back seat and calls 911. They help him prepare to deliver the baby. A few short minutes later, he's got his shirt off in his hands, and the towel he keeps in his car was underneath me. He gently pulls our second born's head and shoulders out, and the rest slide right out. He cleans out it's mouth and it lets out a cry. He wraps it in his shirt and places the bundle on my stomach. He thanks the operator and hangs up as the ambulance arrives.
"Melody, we have a second daughter." he manages to say before he backs out and the EMT ducks in. They let Josh cut the umbilical cord and load me and our new daughter into the ambulance. Josh grabs Arabella and climbs into the back of the ambulance with me. It drove me to the hospital where I was fully checked over by my doctor. Mom and Jack came into see us as Josh called his mother with the news.
