“Oh god… oh shit,” Ava groans beside me, gripping the seat and turning her knuckles white. “This really fucking hurts, Mason.”

She squirms in her seat, and my gut rolls as I’m overcome with a feeling of helplessness. “Not much longer, baby. I just need to get past these fu—” I slam my palm down on the horn as some asshole cuts me off. He flips me the bird, and I grind my teeth. Who the fuck does he think he’s messing with? He’s driving a Fiat, for fuck’s sake. Our SUV would make that car its bitch.

“Mason. We need to call my mom.” Ava breathes as the contraction subsides, and she relaxes back in the seat.

“On it.” I tap the screen on the dash, dialing her mother’s number, glad to actually have something to do other than commit a felony. It rings a few times before going to voice mail, and Ava moans as another contraction takes hold.

“L-Lyndsey,” she grits out. “Call her. She’s been through this before. She can help.”

“Help with what?”

“Fuck… I don’t know. Just call her, please,” she cries, arching her back in pain.

After Lyndsey’s number goes straight to voice mail, we dial Dakota, Chelsea, and Eric only for the same outcome.

“Where is everyone today?” Ava snaps. “Call Cadence.”

“You sure?” I look at her with a frown. “She’s probably hungover.”

“She’s probably still drunk. Just call her anyway.”

Dialing Cadence’s number, she picks up after the third ring. “Hey, bitch,” Cadence’s voice sings through the phone line, followed by a smacking sound.

“Cadence, what are you doing?” Ava barks.

“Ah… nothing,” she responds as the smacking sound continues.

“Are you fucking?”

“What the hell? Why are you asking me this?” Cadence exclaims, pausing the smacking, only for it to start up again a moment later.

“What is that noise?”

“What noise?”

“The squelching sound.”

“Oh…” Cadence drawls. “I’m chewing gum.”

“For the love of God,” Ava groans, squirming in discomfort as another contraction hits.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

“I… I’m in labor,” Ava grits out, squeezing her eyes shut then attempting to breathe through the pain.

“What?” Cadence practically screeches through the line. “Why the fuck did you call me?”

“Shit… I don’t know. Just… do something to distract me.”

“Okay. It’s all good. I know exactly what to do,” Cadence says confidently, followed by a tapping sound filtering through the speakers.

“What are you doing?” Ava growls, getting all flustered.

“I’m Googling what to do on my computer,” Cadence states matter-of-factly, then sucks in a breath. “Jesus, did you know your vagina is going to stretch like twenty times its normal size? Damn, this baby is seriously going to mutilate your vag, Ava.”

Ava lets out a groan, laying her head back on the seat. “Not helping Cadence.”

Cadence continues to type in silence for a moment before clearing her throat, “Okay, there is a plastic surgeon in Seattle who comes highly recommended and—”
